yea if i had a scanner i would be all over that art forum idea but i'm afraid i dont. =(

Its up for discussion now, maybe we will see it soon. :)

I'm sure that if you put your mind to it, my friend that you will find that you can become a most gifted artist :)

As for Zeal311 and I all we need is a scanner and we'll be the next Michaelangelo, lol :)

Here is Tanselle from George R.R. Martin's The Hedge Knight, enjoy :)

i myself find the choice of color the hardest... :D

Ah i take back what i said earlier. Its starting to look a lot better now that the characters arent just sketches with no color.

I have to say thats some fucking good ass art work i commend the artist(s) who made them

I like sketches better than when they have color in them personally, but that is just my opinion.

We need more drawings to critique! ;)

Re:
 

I'm happy that you guys like it. My art director, Mike S. Miller drew them :) Here is a picture of Huma and Kaz, enjoy :)

Kaz doesn't look very fierce. He needs more expressive eyes I think.

You are right, my friend, he's eyes are not expressive at all. We just wanted to go with a picture that accentuated Huma and had Kaz in the background only as a presence and nothing more. You read the picture perfectly, my friend :)

Wow, that last one is hot as all shit! That is my type of drawing. Good stuff Khan, keep it coming buddy. The minatour looks like a basass version of Lex Leuger.

Ya the last one is l337.

I like the third one as well.

I'm happy that you both like what you see. The artists are hard at work on more pictures. Oh, the picture of Huma and Kaz and the last one with Huma on the dragon are being made into large posters. The one in the middle is going to be a cover for the comic book.

Hahaha, thats awesome! I showed one of my roommates, and he literally said, "Wow, that last one with the guy on the Dragon should be made into a huge ass poster!"

Good idea, huh? ;)

IMPORTANT

Sorry I can't stay too long, but I will be away from my office for a bit, and will not have access to a computer until I come back, but I will be back in about a week and I will answer any questions that you might have.

More pictures! These are great, and you should make new threads for each of your new posts. :D

More pictures are on the way, my friend :)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

I'm back from my trip and I just wanted to let everyone know that if you want to get your copy of The Legend of Huma comic book that it is important to go to your comic book retailer now so that he/she can order it for you. It will hit the comic book stores in January, but it is important to print out the form and bring it to your retailer today if possible. Tell the retailers in your own words how good Dragonlance is and tell them to let all their customers know about it, because it will be flying off the shelf. Please click the link below so that you can print out the order form:

http://members.aol.com/msmiller1/diamond1.jpg

Also please keep in mind that the success of The Legend of Huma will also allow us to adapt the other Dragonlance series as well, so please don't forget to order and to tell all your friends who are Dragonlance fans as well to order as well. If you have any questions at all please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] As a Dragonlance fan myself, I can't wait until The Legend of Huma is out and with its success we get to start on Chronicles and Legends

Tai : This was already posted on page 1 of this thread, mr. khan.

Have a nice Thanksgiving everyone :)

Hot shit dude! Now that is the type of shit I love. Dragons, devils, etc. Anything that looks that badass, must be fun to draw. Another good show Khan, thanks buddy!

Happy Turkey Day to you as well. :D

I'm really happy that you like it, my friend. Hope that your Turkey day went well :)

That's a really nice picture. My only complaint is that the dragon on the helmet looks too large. I don't know anything about the character, so I may be off base, but it simply seems impractical.

I'm happy that you like it, my friend and thanks for the feedback.

ATTENTION ALL DRAGONLANCE FANS!

Hello everyone, we've finally come to the time where we have to start calling our local comic shops and making sure that we order copies of Dragonlance issue #1. Now's the time, before final orders come in.

Comic Shop Locator Service - Find a Comic Shop Near You!
www.Don'tAdvertise.com

Or call 1-888-NO-ADVERTISING

Khan, please don't advertise in this forum. Alright? If you need to advertise, do it elsewhere. You've been posting (to my knowledge) artwork from people that work for you, or are affiliated to you through the workplace. If that is the case, then this should not even be here in this forum because it is not your work.

If these artists want to post their work here, they need to do it themselves, not let a spokesman who may be doing it without their knowledge.

While you're right about the advertising, (though I don't agree with the rule at all. I don't see any problem with allowing people the opportunity to get this comic.) there is nothing wrong with him posting the pictures here. He is not violating any copyright laws, nor is he claiming anything false. If he wants to post the work of those who are drawing pictures for his company, that's his prerogative, and there is no fault in it.

If he wants to advertise he needs to do it in a better forum so more people will see it. And technically, to use individual art you do need permission. And second, he doesn't actually name the artist, that's also something he'd need to do. One reason being as an artist myself, if people want to post my pictures elsewhere, they usually, or will always (if they havent dug the pic out of a nameless bin on the internet) will atleast mention who the artist was or is. And from that, maybe they have their own site, and people who view them can go see more.

It's not like I'm going to close this thread or remove it, this is just a finger waging and a reminder.

Actually, I believe that if they're artists under his employ making artwork for his company, he can do whatever the fuck he wants with the pictures.

Wow, I didn't know that I had caused such a fuss while I was gone. I see where you are coming from Admin, but you need not worry about my artists, because in my company my artists and I are like family we don't have any problems at all with one another. So even though I'm happy that you care about them but they are okay and very happy to work with me. As Senior Member mentioned to you the artwork that my artists drew for me I can do whatever that I want with them since I licensed out the fantasy properties and not the artists. But one thing that we do allow is for our artists to own and keep the originals that they draw, which they can then sell for extra income, some other comic book companies don't even allow them to do that. but as for letting fantasy fans everywhere know that we are adapting some of the New York time bestselling favorite novels in comic book format we have to let them know, because if the comic books succeed then we get to do more. By the way you mentioned that you are an artist, please e-mail me at [email protected] with some of your pictures if you are interested in showing me some of your work. Thanks.

Thanks, and good to know. Btw a TSR forum might be made, you could put updates and notifications for your product there if it is made into a forum!

You're welcome. That would be great. If a TSR forum were to be made, it would be my pleasure to post updates and notifications on there as well. Thanks for your help, Tai, it is greatly appreciated, my friend.

Pwn.

Oh, I've got a quick question. I suppose I could just read the books and find out, but I'm finishing Preludes II right now.

Is Magius just as famed as Huma, only with different people? Or perhaps Madius is simply overshadowed by the legend that is Huma. I've always enjoyed the mages in Dragonlance much more than the fighters (Caramon excluded of course... and Flint because he's got such a lovable personality).

::Edit::

After I posted, it took me to the top of the page, and I saw that picture again. I really like that one. *Right click* *Set as background*

Also, I've reviewed all the pictures. This one in particular I liked originally. http://www.newsarama.com/Devils_Due/dl_cover_2.jpg

However, the tail needs a different sort of texture. Compared to the rest of the dragon, it's sort of... monotonous. Also, Is the cape being blown in the wind? I can't exactly say why, but I think it would look a lot better if it were just resting.

Anyhow, I like the picture you just posted. There are only two things I don't like about it.

1. The end of the cape looks disproportional to the rest of it. It looks like there is a bit of cloth trailing off the end of it.

2. The blue dragon on the right side seems to be missing a rear leg...

Other that that, it is a spectacular picture. The lighting on the dragon in the foreground is great, and I like the overall style of the picture.

Medieval Bob, my friend, first off I like your Avatar, it's really cool :)

Okay, I'll try to answer your question to the best of my abilities :)

Yes, Magius is as famed as Huma in the fact that all future mages in Krynn wears daggers in honor of him. But you are right his fame is indeed overshadowed by the legend of Huma. Magius had the possibility to be as great as Raistlin but certain factors kept him from doing that. I think that you'll definitely enjoy Magius and you'll definitely get a good laugh when you read about his relationship with Kaz, the Minotaur.

I'm happy that you like that poster. You can order it from your comic book retailer and it'll be yours :) I see what you mean. We made this poster as a sort of Collage, which allowed the artist alot of leeway to a certain extent that is.

However, the tail needs a different sort of texture. Compared to the rest of the dragon, it's sort of... monotonous. Also, Is the cape being blown in the wind? I can't exactly say why, but I think it would look a lot better if it were just resting. I have to admit that like you, I really like this poster as well, my friend :)

1. Many fans thought that the cape was well done, because as a Knight of the Crown, Huma did not have the best cloak like a rich Knight of the Rose could afford, and as he never had a change of cloaks throughout the war and always being in the thick of battle they thought that it looked as if the cape had been ripped during his many battles.

2. As for the blue dragon, you are the first one to notice that his leg has been bit off. Wow, I thought that no one would have noticed. You have great eye for details, my friend.

I'm happy that you like what you see though :)

Here is the penciled and inked cover to Raymond E. Feist, The Woodboy, it has yet to be colored, but I wanted to give you all a sneek peek, enjoy :)
