Big Red

Here's the final image.

Big Red

"After many years of pillage and carefree overindulgence, her successes and excesses began to take their toll. And despite her unmatched skill in combat, there was one foe that she could never manage to defeat: her weight. Eventually people stopped calling her Red Sonja altogether, and simply referred to her as Big Red."

A progress shot of Big Red, a piece for the IFX Monthly Challenge. Weird. She looks a bit like Roseanne Barr to me. Anyway,  I wanted to post a shot of it before I inevitably screw it up.

Big Red progress.

Halfman!

In anticipation of the new season, I've been re-watching Game of Thrones. Here's a little sketchy-sketch of Peter Dinklege as Tyrion, in armor, taken from a screen grab.

King of Clubs

Goblin King of Clubs.

Something for ChoW at ConceptArt.org. The topic was to design a fantasy character based on a face card from a standard deck of cards: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs, and either Jack, Queen or King.

While doing a little research, I learned that the suits represent the 4 castes of medieval society: Spades is Nobility, Hearts is Clergy, Diamonds is Merchant, and Clubs is Peasant. Armed with this tidbit, I decided that using a goblin to represent the peasant class would be sort of fun, if a bit elitist. (Sorry peasants!)

I also got hung up on the idea of a meat crown, so that happened.
