Here starteth the lesson on overshading
There's about half a 2B pencil in this one!
it's my first piece of fanart - in the fantasy books about the Malazan Empire by Steven Erikson there a bunch of sappers called the Bridgeburners. Subtle they are not and they love explosives. this is my depiction of one of their bombers stooping under his heavy load of different types of explosives.
I'm really happy with the outcome and there's even a hint of a bit of background!
I love Steven Erikson to bits, that guy is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! :3 Now if only I didn't stupidly buy Toll the Hounds, the latest book, first >_>
amazing, just fantastic, although I don't think a Bridgeburner would actually walk around with this much Moranth munition
awesome drawing, love the shading and the fact that you have managed to capture that air of madness that many of the sappers, or all of them, possess..very nice work
I'd much rather have a good story than something which is "beautifully" written - that's for the arty-farty types
Donalson has good writing but he's a cracking storyteller!
