Moslty doing Spelljammer art at the moment, but got round to doing one for Dark Sun ;) Think the moon's a bit too big iirc? made in Mojoworld using "Planet Copperwine" Dark Sun Dawn
#2 jano Apr 16, 2008 19:18:49	Yap, moon is waaay to big. Besides the pick lacks something. Maybe dust covering horizon? (I've no idea if program is capable of such effect). Overall its very nice
#3 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 16, 2008 19:31:19	Ah well, thought so but wasn't sure, Ral and Guthay are the moons iirc? one is green? I normally work in Vue Infinite, but been messign around with Mojoworld again for a change, so I'm not very skilled with it compared to Vue. Ta!
#4 huntercc Apr 16, 2008 19:31:39	sweet!! Yeah the moon is a little big, but the pic still looks great!

Overall its very nice Actually, if the moon is sitting on the horizon, and the atmosphere has a lensing effect, the moon might be right (if it is Guthay). Earth's moon can appear HUGE in the right atmospheric conditions.

#7 Kamelion Apr 17, 2008 10:23:09	Love it. It's now my desktop :D More!!!
#8 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 17, 2008 11:25:12	Phoenix M, it's actually low clouds and dust over the sandy valley floor, reflecting A fellow on art forum suggested a tip, so I made an alteration in postwork...think this one's better? "Dark Sun Dawn v2 heat haze
#9 Band2 Apr 17, 2008 12:01:50	Great picture Silverblade. Got any more coming?
#10 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 17, 2008 15:30:42	band2, cheers! Sorry mate I just make art as the muse takes me, can't and won't be tied down about stuff (health's bad, art's about all I do now, bar yak on fourms, lol, and stress is like garlic vs vampires, for me :p Someone asked me to make DS art for a pdf but I let 'em down, sigh, stress is seriously mojo bad for me) I've long wanted ot re-create Brom's outstanding "belgoi sorceror" pic in 3D, as that's one of my all time favourite pieces of art. Take me a while though afore I'm used to Zbrush enough to make stuff for that (or buy Mudbox, ugh I hate Zbrush). have bits and bobs I've collected for Athasian style scenes, so I want ot make DS art, but it will just be when it happens, sorry I'll need to build an argosy model and some buildings too,hm.
#11 Pennarin Apr 17, 2008 18:37:20	Wow, v2 is quite the pic! The water, or whatever it is in the canyon, should be grainy and filled with millions of tiny yellow bits, giving the impression of great distance.
#12 Jaysyn Apr 19, 2008 10:10:04	Nice, but I always thought the skies of Athas were olive. Maybe this is over the Scorched Plateau? Your webcomic is pretty cool BTW.
#13 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 19, 2008 11:02:41	Most of the artwork I've seen has shown Athas sky as orange...red giant sun after all ;) Thanks! having fun with the comic just takes some work tp make each one asit's all 3d, then "cartoonized".
