A sudden found joy! ^2

Thu Aug 6, 2009, 8:23 AM
EDIT:
The Drow vs. Mindflayer challenge is finally over and the judges gave their verdict. Surprisingly, I didn't win!
:rofl:

(note to self - this joke might get old soon)

[link] - lineup of the winners.

But another surprise was that a wonderful entry by Robert Brown won! My personal favourite which I didn't think would click with the judges. Craig J. Spearing's third place was a surprise too, that was my other favourite one which I thought would win.

Anyway, I'm so glad I worked hard for this contest, Irene Gallo (google her, she's pretty great :)) commented on my painting:

Irene Gallo - "Love the interplay of the characters. Perhaps some variations in color could help bring it to life a bit more." :boogie:

and once again, she's absolutely right. These ArtOrder Tuesday challenges are awesome! :aww:

Surprisingly, I didn't win! :rofl:

But what the hell, Lars Grant-West pointed out exactly what was wrong with that damned picture of mine and he's totally right. (and he says he likes it! :D *girly squeal* ) - I've been using aerial perspective for years now and I forgot to use it here, where massive scale is so important. Tsk tsk tsk. Shame on me.


BUT TODD friggin LOCKWOOD LIKED MY VESTIGIAL WINGS IDEA!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOT!!! *insane fan squeal* :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:

:aww: you're welcome as always. ;)

Hey Jan, I have a couple of questions - namely concerning whether or not you do requests (not a commission). I have a couple of concepts I'd like to discuss with you about, as I feel like your input could help refine the idea tenfold :)

If you don't do requests like that, could you please at least hear me out?
:iconmerlkir:
I do not have the time to do requests, sadly. :(
But yeah, if you want my opinion, send me a note. :)
:iconmorionquetil:
Well, this is going to sound very stereotypical, but let's go :)

I'm wanting to make my own fantasy-genre world. The main 'races' would be Minotaur and Minoboar (the two being mortal enemies, who inhabit the sporadically-wooded plains at the southern foothills of the Mountains), a sort of unnamed "Wood Elf" that are a race of nomadic druids inhabiting the forestland between the Mountains, and Five (Three by the time of the story) kinds of Dwarves, each with their own Houses - the dominant House of Iron, the House of Stone, the freed House of Wolves, and the extinct Houses of Fire and Ice. Another is the equally-unnamed "Drow" that inhabit the lower regions of the world in something similar to the Underdark.

The twist is that each of these species would be the genetic descendants of 'modern' animals; Minotaur would be descended from Bison, Minoboar from the obvious, the Dwarves from bears, and both kinds of "Elf" from a common, earlier, descendant among canines and felines. The "Wood Elves" would be the result of the canine (wolf) path, and the "Drow" from the feline (big cats, such as cougars and mountain lions, with some characteristics of bats as well).

What do you think? :)

Cheers for the fave, Jan :)
