Rifts Art (from my sketch book)

Woot! Rifts and Phaseworld art!

The above link brings you to a quebec EBA in a very rennaissance-esque pose.

A vernulian, what else can I say?

http://freewebs.com/riftsashes/haman.jpg
A Naruni Agent (and NPC of mine). The Image was given a blue tint with photoshop 5.0.

All are done by me, Josh Sinsapaugh, with No.2 and No.6 graphite on high quality sketch composite paper.



EDIT: Of course, the links probably won't work so copy and paste one of the below adresses:

Just a little FYI... every time I click on one of your links, I get re-directed back to this thread. I even tried copying and pasting the address, but wound up back here anyway.

Funny, the link is not working for me either. I keep being redirected back here and when I copy and paste the address I get "Page does not exist".

I just did the drag-n-drop into the address bar, and it worked fine for me. The sketches aren't too bad at all. I mean there are a couple of issues, but they are, after all, sketches, so it's nothing to nit pick about.

But I do want to make a couple of comments that stand out.

On the vernulian's gun, the angle appears to switch at the barrel. Unless the gun curves (It's Rifts after all, it could be a curved gun), you wouldn't see down the barrel if he's holding the gun at that angle (unless there's a temporal wizard standing by warping things a tad).

Agent Haman's head is a little lopsided, but I'm not sure if he's a shape shifter with a constantly wavy head, or if he's got a solid skull underneath. But if you draw a straight line down the center of his face, both sides should be somewhat symetrical (It's not an exact face-on shot, so you have some room for deviation). But his clothing wrinkles look pretty good.

I like the FQ soldier. Nice loose rendering and shadowing.

The barrel is angled as the gun is meant to be used by a vernulian with tentacles. They use psionics to fire the thing so a straight site is not that much of an issue.

Agent Haman's head is a l'il lopsided? That is either due to the fact that I have his head turned to the side (one eye is bigger as it is closer to the foreground) or because of the way it scanned, my sketchbook is hardbound and a pain in the kiester to scan things from.

Or it could be a mistake.

looking at the original, his head is turned to the side. The rest is due to the scan (perhaps 60%) and mistakes (40%). Yeah I admit I may have screwed up on that one.

EDIT: Note that you should not use "WWW" when placing the adress for the site in the adress bar, it won't work that way.
