New one. This one's called "Last ressource". It's a metaphor, showing that the snake is me and the gnome-thing who's fizzling his spell is you.

Gorganoth · 7th December 2009, 19:35

You actually made that pic?
Damn... Well made if you ask me, but I don't know **** about how to use that program so I can't really say if it is well done or not, but my guess is that it is...

Rainier · 7th December 2009, 19:36

Photoshop.

And yes I made it, as well as all the other drawings in the same thread

dalethdaleth · 8th December 2009, 12:07

Hi, i just had a look through this thread, and i love your work. i want to post my work, but i probably wont post more than a few images cos i'm so slow. your work is very vibrant, and looks like you have worked very quickly, am i right? how long on average do you work on a piece? i think i should do some more speed painting. also, i tend to scan a pencil drawing first, do you do this, or just go straight into photoshop?

Rainier · 8th December 2009, 12:22

Hey, thanks for the message Daleth.

I'll answer first with the duration of the process, saying it really depends on my motivation and said drawing. It takes me around 8 hours to do something like that (I usually do it in 2-3 evenings seperatly), and yes, I like to be a bit rough, but that's also mostly because of photoshop.
I don't really like the increasingly soft and detailed style you can have in photoshop. It's a bit unpersonal and it feels too much like it's been done on a comp. So I like to be a little more loose, I put some details aside for a bit more energy

I usually don't scan, I draw directly..but I wouldn't say it's a very good thing. Most artists draw with pencils then scan it, but I guess you have to go with what's more comfortable for you. And finally, as for speed painting, yes, give it a try

i'm not really doing "speed painting" since i'm not very speedy

But I've done it before (the twi'lek, a page or two before, was done in one hour). It's all about shapes and colours I guess.

dalethdaleth · 8th December 2009, 12:41

good answer! cool, i'm feeling inspired now. it makes sense now i think about it using a harder brush will give those nice lines, i'm always seduced by the air brush effect, but i like the results you're getting... grabs pen... gets scribbling.

Rainier · 8th December 2009, 12:51

Yeah, i used soft brush/air brush before..but it really makes the drawing inconsistent, like it's fuzzy or something.

marmoto · 24th December 2009, 21:05

grats man good draws

Sebren · 24th December 2009, 23:01

you really need to stop the fantasy stuff in your head and start workin on MO concepts. im sure something could get implemented. nice work rain.

Rainier · 25th December 2009, 00:12

Ya i'm planning to get out a bit of the fantasy zone and try either some more fun or inventive stuff.

But first i have to finish the variance wallpaper and a drawing for denny

Rainier · 1st January 2010, 04:13

Taken out from the Variance thread. This is the illustration alone that served for the V wallpaper.

Gixer · 1st January 2010, 06:42

Los Bandidos!

insanely amazing

Trystram · 1st January 2010, 17:01

yay Busard!

Nekokid · 2nd January 2010, 00:58

Pretty cool pics... but why you sometimes make realy many details ..and sometimes not? IN the last picture ..the heaven looks a bit broken for me ..need more detail like in other pics of you ;D

Otherwise you have a cool style!

Rainier · 2nd January 2010, 01:14

You are right. I rushed the last one a bit, and notably the sky that isn't as polished as I use to detail. I might get back on it just to finish it up a bit.

Rainier · 2nd January 2010, 21:56

(Quick interlude with a more simplistic drawing)And now, an ode to Denny Lindberg, a shiny knight and a grumpy dev !

Monfols · 2nd January 2010, 22:47

I loled, Good one :P
especially that the girl is naked and the guy kindda grumpy. XD

Nekokid · 3rd January 2010, 00:29

I love his Mount .. i wish we could use them ingame as mounts to.

thats just great!

adrala · 5th January 2010, 11:20

LOL awesome!
But wasnt it Sebastien who had the pig?

Rainier · 5th January 2010, 12:20

He stole it from him

Rainier · 8th January 2010, 22:54

A mortal fan art...but not very proud of it. Not the technique, more that it could be more..Mortal-ish

Some Sators our scouting outside their jungle. Too bad i can't post a really big pic, you miss a lot of small details

Sebren · 9th January 2010, 00:02

Ahah! your first MO peice. Looks mortalishy to me! Those sators bring the mortalness out, very nice. You even added a de-evolutionized version of the sators.. how cute heh.

I look forward to many many more of these. merci Rainier mon ami!

Vel.

Resin · 9th January 2010, 01:10

Awesome work!

Tyx · 9th January 2010, 02:10

Dam, really good work you are posting here. Keep it up!

Nekokid · 9th January 2010, 10:07

Cool Mo picture ...but i have no clue what monsters this should be

BlindMonkey · 10th January 2010, 01:04

Still great stuff mate, and your production rate is pretty awesome.

Rainier · 10th January 2010, 19:03

A more mortalish pic now. it's a concept drawing so pardon my roughness with this one, made it really quickly.

I imagined some kind of fortress for the kallards or the blainns, some massive thing. Here what came out.

Reinholt · 10th January 2010, 20:42

Love the one with Sators on it.

Defiant One · 18th January 2010, 02:08

Loving the last one, has a really dark and epic feeling to it

Reinholt · 18th January 2010, 18:19

I know nothing about drawing, but you manage to make your pictures look like paintings really. Very detailed ones too..

Nekokid · 18th January 2010, 18:38

Rainer ..are you interested in making a little tutorial?? Maybe how you start drawing ... it do not have to be too detailed (i know everyone has secrets ;D ).

But i'm interested in one if you would be so nice ...maybe per pm

is that frodo on the cliff?

nice pictrure

Rainier · 19th January 2010, 20:14

Thanks alot !

As for making tutorials, at first I wasn't sure because I don't know if i'm a good teacher there's honestly already better artists out there than me. But recently, I got an assignement to do an E-learning project, so I chose my drawings for that.
I'll probably use my website to put on some tutorials in the future (i'll notice there when some are online) in video form and other little things.

Nekokid · 19th January 2010, 22:14

Thanks

That are cool news :>

Defiant One · 19th January 2010, 23:30

Is there a way to get your works in a wallpaper size? Would be so awesome to put some of your works on my screen, if you don't mind of course
