The Dark Art- Draknir's illustrations

Post by Draknir »

This is the thread where I will post my drawings pertaining the Nemesis Crown.

And, from now on, also other drawings. The campaign is over, but I have not stopped.


The first one depicts High Priest Gorgoneth, the Avatar of Chroesh. (the character sounded so interesting, I had to put thew image inmy head onto paper)

I hope it isn't too much different from your image, Gooner, but tell me what you like. ;)

Hey man that's excellent. I have no talent at drawing whatsoever, so I do what I can with words but that is exactly how I see him when he is unarmoured. The axe in particular is superb, wish I could convert one that looked as good as that!

Looks good. What's next on your list of drawings? Can't wait for it, whatever it may be.

Thanks for the quick comments :) I'm glad you liked it.

I shall draw more (I read all people's fluff carefully so I can form a picture of the characters in my head) I don't know what will be next though. (I'm accepting suggestions)

Unfortunately there's one character I've never managed to depict well enough; Malekith is very hard to look like evil enough and no picture can best the one we have in the cover of the Armybook.

Best thing about it is that you pulled off the alien look elves are supposed to have. Nice man.

Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

I'll consider Drainial, what colour I shall draw him in :lol: all of the drawings are going to be black and white, though.

If its going to be in black and white have his helmet on, it would certainly be easir and would look better, great second picture by the way.

Looks great, especially the Dranail drawing...

I really like the Gorgoneth one the most, though. It looks just.. Elfy...

Hope to see more soon!

wowowowowow! Great drawing. You inspired me to draw myself! Would you think it possible if i could add to your collection by drawing some of my own pictures (Not trying to steal your thunder or anything). Just i've always loved drawing when i was a kid but never got round to it.

I'm afraid I have no skills at sculpting at all. Honestly, I have never touched green stuff in my life. I have a blister of it on my desk, but my mom says it's so poisonous that I would need rubber gloves and a gas mask.

Remember guys, if I draw your character, you are free to use it in avatars or something. (as long as you mention it as my doing ;) )

You can eat greenstuff (Don’t do this for you will get sick. I just said it because you wouldn’t die from it if you did.). It’s chemical not poisonous.
I work with greenstuff quite regularly now. It’s easier then it looks. You just need to practise a few times and before you know it you can sculpt all kinds of crazy stuff.
My current project is male witch elves, it is hard to do but it is lots of fun.

Or copy to Paint or something and cut a little (like face only) and then try if it's size fits. If it won't fit, link to your sig.

PS: JPG files take up less space than BMP files.
PPS: I feel bored. Anyone else to be drawn?
