Tempest book one

Sun Jul 13, 2008, 10:37 AM
Ok, the Tempest e-book is out. Took sometime to update all 48 pages. As usual it has strong erotic elements in a hard sci-fi setting. ;P

It's probably hard to imagine, but about half the pages would not be permissible to post in deviantart, even with the 'mature' rating. Probably why this stuff don't see print.

Not really a bad thing, less dead trees that way. The only paper used was for the sketch that was scanned for coloring. And I use ordinary copy paper, no special heavy ply art paper.

Btw; the book also includes a few preview pages for both Masque2 and Tempest2. :nod:

Thanks, Everyone :D

You are both a great writer and artist! I really liked Naked Earth!

OMG I'm like a new fan fanatic..What amazing detail and color, so much attention to detail.

I would love to share some of your work and of course give you 100 percent credit. I would like to turn them into pictures for a group I'm in.

Let me know what you think? This could bring about some sales for you.

Thanks,
CptnEdge

Hi dude - long-time fan here, way back to the Naked Earth days so needless to say I'm stunned, amazed and TOTALLY in envy of your newest artwork! In fact your art was one of my inspirations (along with Serpieri) when I started my Saffyre Blue strip for HIP Comics although I work in highly post-rendered CGI rather than line art simply because it takes me so long to draw and colour it which is why I'd like to request some advice - please don't take this the wrong way as I don't intend to be funny or rude but I know it takes you about 4 days to do a page so how do you make enough money to keep going? I'd seriously love to be able to work full time on my art but the page rates most publishers offer are so low that it's impossible! Is it just a matter of becoming so famous that you can dictate your own rates or is there a trick here that I'm missing? Feel free to email me direct if you don't want to discuss it in open forum - I'd seriously love to be able to take my time and produce fine art like you do but it drives me mad that I have to compromise quality for quantity just to earn enough to live on.
Keep up the good work dude! It's guys like you who inspire guys like me to do better!
Cheers!

I agree completely about CGI art - it's something I thought about for a long time before beginning to use. If the artist simply poses,renders and prints then the risk of being clonish is very high as everyone is using the same basic models and characters so to get round this I do a great deal of post-render work on my images. I don't think I have ever printed an image as it was rendered - in fact sometimes there is more hand-drawn post-rendering than there is CGI in my finished art - and it seems to be working as fans of my art tell me they can recognise my work easily. I suppose it's something that you never see in your own art and that only other people can point out the tell-tale sign that indicate a particular artist.
ps - about the photo-referencing, I wasn't suggesting that you SHOULD use it more - you do a great job as it is - it's just that areas like the folds of cloth cause me problems so I'm weel impressed that you can do it so well without referencing.
Cheers!

Living in a relatively underdeveloped country helps.

It's a noble idea to attempt to domesticate the human animal. Just don't try to neuter it. :evillaugh:

Heh, now that's an answer that I didn't expect, though it is very logical as Mr. Spock would say! I normally have to produce 10 - 12 panels per day just to keep my head above water but I'm inspired enough by the stuff on this site to start a few long-term projects taking 10 days to do a single image.
Have to say I love the way all the figures are posed in your artwork - not just the erotic posing but the way cloth is draped, and details like that - do you use photo-references or is it all done from your imagination?

I rarely use photo-references. But that is something I really should try to do more often. ;P

My 4 days is a safe schedule, some go down to 2.5 depending on my mood.

Personally, I think CGI is a tough medium. Hard to differentiate between artists. I know only a handful who can really make 3D their own. Most of the rest are kinda clonish.
