Please let me know what you think of Kaz, the Minotaur from Dragonlance. Thanks, your input is greatly appreciated.

Tai : Double Post.

I'd love to contribute, but I haven't read any of the past history in the Dragonlance story. All I've read is after the Raistlin, Tanis, Tasslehoff, etc group were young.

Removed.

Here are Magius and Bennett, please feel free to give me your inputs, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

That looks liek an extremely shitty comic if you ask me.

Thank you , Mr. Katana. I went to my first post and deleted everything that I had said about my company. I only have the pictures up in order to get feedback from all people about the artwork, be it positive or negative like Sovereign, every feedback is greatly appreciated. Is this okay with you, Mr. Katana?

Oh, Mr. Katana, I also took out the contest that led to my website, okay.

Wroung Forum much???? Those illustrations look great though. Why is everyone being so mean to him??


magius looks cooler with the beard and benniet or w/e looks bad ass.

Hey Zeal311, a pleasure to meet you. I'm really happy that you liked the Bennett character sketch. Thanks also for the feedback on Magius, greatly appreciated. What are your thoughts on the character, Lord Oswal, High Warrior of the Solamnic knights during the time of Huma?

Zeal311, here is Ser Lyonel Baratheon "The Laughing Storm" from George R.R. Martin's The Hedge Knight, enjoy :)

I'd like to see how you would draw fistandantilus and/or the Gods Majere (My fav God), Mishakal, Morgion, Chemosh and Reorx.

Lord Oswal has that old and wise thing goin on. lookin cool. that hedge knight guy looks a little too unorigional in my opinion. and now that i look at it magius lips look a little odd and his cheekbones a little high. his clothes and staff are cool though. maybe you could make the end of his staff a little bigger and bolder to make it stand out a little bit though. just my opinion and i know nothing about art.

Hey Raistlin, How are you doing? Superstar comic book artist Mike S. Miller, my Art Director did the character sketches, I wish that I could draw like that but my stick figures are horrible, lol. Legend of Huma will be the first Dragonlance novel that we tackle. We are getting feedbacks from all fans and at the same time building a relationship so that when we start Chronicles after the Legend of Huma it will be easier for us to work together and even better yet when we move on to Legends and so forth. The Legend of Huma comic book comes out January 2004, so it is important to start asking your comic book retailer to get it for you starting in November.

Hi Zeal311, I hope that you had a great weekend and that your Monday is going well so far. I'm really happy that you liked Lord Oswal :) I'm not really what to say about Ser Lyonel, but that is how he is described in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Have you ever read them, if you ever get a chance check them out, they are excellent books A Game of Thrones is the first book and then A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords.
The lips of Magius, it could be because it's not colored yet, what do you think? High cheekbones, you mean it's too much like that of an elf, is that what you meant? I see what you mean about the end of the staff, very good points, my friend. Your opinion is greatly appreciated :)

Here is the character sketch of Egg from George R.R. Martin's The Hedge Knight, the prequel to his A Song of Ice and Fire Series, enjoy :)

Almost forgot. Here is a pencil of a Legend of Huma comic book page :)

Looks good.

I have a question, however. If I were to read any of these comics concerning Huma, I would of course want to read the books with him. So, what books would you reccommend with Huma?

Also, I would like to ask everyone what books they would reccomend me reading. My favorite characters are Raistlin, Caramon, Dalamar, and Paladine as Fizban.

I've read:
The Soulforge
Brothers in Arms
Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Dragons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawning
Dragons of Summer Flame
Time of the Twins
War of the Twins
Test of the Twins
The Second Generation
Dragons of a Fallen Sun
Dragons of a Lost Star
Dragons of a Vanished Moon

And I've just started the Preludes Trilogy:
Darkness and Light
Kendermore
Brothers Majere

I will likely follow this with Preludes II Trilogy:
Riverwind the Plainsman
Flint the King
Tanis, the Shadow Years

What should be on my "To Read" list?

You should definitely read The Legend of Huma, my friend. It's an excellent novel.

Here is Huma, please enjoy :)

Huma, Hero of the Lance:

"I can only point out that while Huma was a brave warrior and a great hero, he was not a model knight." -Sturm Brightblade

Nice quote from Sturm, Medieval Bob :)

Here is Rennard, all feedbacks are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rennard:

Should this be moved to computer graphics? It would get a lot more attention IMO.

Hello zeal311, how are you doing? How was your weekend? I'm not sure, will it get more attention? If it will get more attention then that would be perfect if you can move it for me. Thanks.

Personally, I think Rennard has girly looking legs... For his age, he looks like the old, thinned out look should be more cut than feminine. Now that I'm looking back at Bennett, I'd have to say the same for him as Rennard.

Magius on the other hand, has very fitting proportins. He doesn't appear to have the bad-ass image of the others, so he is fine as is. :)

Baratheon looks great. Maybe a little too much shine on his armor though. Maybe some blood stains or a little rougher armor would suit him better. He looks as though he is more of a warrior/knight of show than valor or whatever...

The Minatour's muscles could use more better detail.

Looks VERY nice... Although this would fit better in a general traditional art section would it not? :) Sturm's legs need more detailing... But looks good nevertheless

Yeah, well it was in Autumn Twilight, so I figured this Forum did it more justice.

If there was a General Art Forum, I'd put it there, but there isn't... :(

I was thinking General Media, but this was more fitting in my mind.

May be make a sub forum in CG called traditional art?

Suggest it in Ad-Mod for discussion if you want it.

Thank you for all of your feedbacks so far, guys, greatly appreciated :)

Here is a penciled page of the Dragonlance comic book, enjoy :)

Thank you very much Zeal311, greatly appreciated :)

They look pretty nice, but is there any type of background we need to understand these pictures, because as of right now, they just appear to be randomly drawn Medieval Time Themes.

Oh, and try not to double post. Put all your thoughts into one post, and if you can't just use the edit button, located on top of your avatar next to the quote button. :)

Hi Titusfied, I'm really happy that you like the pics. The ones that you see with individual characters are simply sketches, no backgrounds, their purpose is solely to get feedback from Dragonlance fans or anyone else who has an idea, suggestion, or even a thought about the character. The comic book page is just a pencil and is still in production and not finished yet, I just wanted to give a sneek peek ;) Thank you for the advice on the double post.

Yea i sent it to titusfied and he moved it. That comic looks nice. Could you tell me anything about the story? or is that classified.

Very nice work. Besides, if I get some input, I might consider doing just that; starting a traditional art section on Zelaron as well, but having this sole thread inside for starters wouldn't be a good thing.

How many of you guys actually draw things, just for fun as an aspiring artist, or professionally?

I draw things for fun, anime and cartoon stuff mostly

and Khan, those drawings are very nice, whats the average time u spend on making 1 of those drawings ?

I draw for fun... alot... Chruser you should know :) And yeah, the next step would be to add more background :) I can't wait!

Zeal311:
I'm happy that you like what you see. No, it's not classified. The Legend of Huma is a novel from the Dragonlance that we are adapting into comic book, it is about knights, dragons; chromatic (bad dragons) vs metallic (good dragons), and renegade mages. A great war is raging at the beginning of the book and it is about to come down to the final showdown between the Queen of Darkness and the forces of Paladine, and Huma is on the road to possibly finding the key to victory that can bring an end to this war.

Chruser:
Thank you, the artists that work for us are extremely talented. They are highly motivated as well, since they are working on the comic book adaptation of bestselling fantasy/scifi authors. So far we sold out of George R.R. Martin's the Hedge Knight, which sold out within a week of hitting the comic book stores. We are also doing Robert Silverberg, Tad Williams, Raymond E. Feist, Anne McCaffrey, and the rest we are not able to mention at this time.

We have some pretty famous authors working for us: The Hilderbrandt Brothers, Michael Kaluta, and Boris Vallejo Vallejo and Julie Bell to name a few. I can't draw, my stick figures are horrible, lol. If you want to see the Boris cover and the Michael Kaluta cover please let me know.

Undeadzombieguy:
I wish that God had blessed me with an artistic talent like yourself, my friend, but unfortunately, I can't draw, and my stick figures are absolutely horrible, lol :)

Randuin:
Wait until you see some of our finished pages ;)

I like to draw, but just as a hobby, nothing more really. I'm not bad, but my talent ends at copying others work. I can draw just about anything anyone else can, but when forced to make up my own work, I'm pathetic to say the least. I always found that weird, but I can't help it.

I think a Forum like this would be very interesting. It would also encourage me to start drawing again. :)
