I got to tinkering around trying to make a graphic for the links page on my website because the one there is pretty dreadful, and this is what I came up with.

It's a finished lineart piece, but it will be colored.

Comments, flying pies, free gifts, horoscopes? heh

-Flexible Elf

Also, if anyone wants to try coloring this at all go right ahead. I really enjoyed seeing the takes on my Viking alot.
I'm gonna color my own for the webpage but I'm sure y'all can do better

Coloring is not my strong suit.

Bed... calling... eyes.. falling out of skull...

(EDIT) It was all done with the Wacom tablet.

You should go work for Blizzard, that is certainly awesome!
I will try colouring this one and then post the coloured version IF it doesn't look bad.

Morbid Guy · Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2001 3:55 am

That's a great pic flexible elf, You really have a very nice style.

Get-up Kid · Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2001 4:27 am

I agree with Ed. This is very strong. I love the expression on the bottom figure; makes me think they are up to no good...

Woah! Elf.. that's awesome!!! I'd love to try colouring... won't post it tho
That is so very much better than Samwise Didier!

Really all photoshop? Or did you ink nondigital?

Cos · Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2001 4:52 am

Did you use the brush tool with the stylus set to size?

ime · Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2001 7:06 am

I think the skull ruins the whole image

without skull: very moody, very nice posing, good anatomy (especially hands of the standing ork)... , mmr nice boot

good job

BUT: ....no really I think the skull in the top of the pic sux... sorry

micke · Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2001 7:50 am

Very tight and solid!
Great work, flex

I think the skull is a little too much, but that's just my taste.

Links, chain links heh heh...anyway, I like this. The detail on the scroll is impressive, and the variation of the line thickness looks nice.
I like the look on the face of the standing ork, looks as though he wants to be somewhere else.

Loved it! very nice!!

Keep up the good work!

Man that is awesome Flex, great pose on the big Orc. the little shaman guy has the greatest look on his face.

Now when you first look at this, you think the Shamans casting a spell by throwing some gems into the ground, upon further inspection you see that he's playing dungeons and dragons. ya see, hes got his character sheet in one hand, and is rolling the dice to hit

Ed Lee> Yeah all with Tablet except for the scroll symbols and belt symbols. I do a lot of line-petting normally when I draw. The tablet almost demands you do that to get straight lines.
Bg> Heh, I'd love to work for Blizzard. You should definitely post it or at least e-mail it to me when you're done.
HoodZ> Thanks. I'm a big sports nut. Not many people can say they're proud to be a Nuggets fan but I am.

Morbid Guy> Thank you very much, glad you like!
Get-up Kid> Yeah, somethin not-so-nice is at the end of that chain.
S4Sb> I'd love to see your color version. Hehe maybe I'll have to try sending some of my stuff to Blizzard, thanks for the compliment. And yeah all photoshop on this one.
Cos> Hehe thanks. I'll be coloring this and hopefully we'll have some others on here too. Mine might ruin it.
Joachim> Thanks!

aNoah> All brush tool with size checked. When I color or paint I have Opacity checked too.
ime> Heh, I'll get rid of the skull. hheehe
micke> thank ya! Opinions on the skull appear to be the consensus. I'll scratch it.
Axl> Excellent! That's what I was going for. Thanks!
amitait> Glad you like!
CapnPyro> LoL, I didn't even think about that. Must be a convention in town

The Dude> I think it just suits the way I draw for some reason. Like I said up top, I pet lines a lot normally to get a solid true line rather than just quick single strokes. Photoshop doesn't like those very much hehe.
wayfinder> skull = gone. hehe

Beautiful work flex !!

I think this is the best I've seen from you

The only thing that bugs me is that crouching guy's pinky...it just looks plain weird

Nonetheless, amazing picture

Post more of your work, haven't seen you posting much recently !

wayfinder · Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2001 12:03 am

massive.

but it's true what they say, lose or improve the skull.

Vortx · Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2001 1:48 am

Damn, you did this w/ a wacom? You've gotz some mad skillz. =)

Cool Orcs. Hmm...if only i can tell you i'm working on. But your drawing definitely gives me some inspirations. I like the face on the lower orc...he looks evil...hehe.

I still can't believe this is all wacom...think i'll go try to draw something right now....

Great stuff....as always.

TheMilkMan · Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2001 2:14 am

Got to agree with feng man that is very very tight work for being all wacom I mean looks good when I thought it was pen and ink but man I know how hard it is to draw like this with a wacom.....why would you draw it with a wacom anyways???? Just curious ....well I can't waite to see the end product ...hmmm where is liqued when you need a good colorist alright chapel you'll do get to work!

Elf, I recommended your work to a staffing contact of mine @ blizzard. I don't know him real well, so no idea if anything will come of it, but what the hell, right?

Lovely stuff. I'm really enjoying the posts you've made in the past few months.

Cheers,
