I'm going to be doing some non-"Fan Art Contest" artwork, so I thought I'd post them here. The first is a "commission" of sorts for Steve: a skeletal White Leo! I included the sketch, too. Comments are welcome!

Now that's a damn good story idea. And by the way the picture is sweet!

Great concept you have going here.Your art always seems to amaze me .
I love the missing armour adds great character.Looking foward to seeing more.

[Tortle]

Thanks for the compliments, gang!

Here's my latest watercolor painting: my fantasy MUSCLE 4-pack! Sharp-eyed MUSCLE-heads will notice that Tortle and the Urinal Guy were never available in 4-packs, so it's not 100% "scientifically accurate". I also included a size comparison shot with a real MUSCLE 4-pack.

That is sweet! So when did you decide to switch from full-time webmaster to full-time artist? Keep'em coming Nate!

Coolness, what I really love about this is the damage on the Card. It really brings out the age, and condition a 4pack would be in now.

[meatcutta78]

AWESOME!!!!

Great idea that looks freakin killer.Adding super meat to the pack really added the icing on the cake for me(he is my favorite)
I agree with URS adding card damage to pack adds character(something you perfected in all of your art).

once again i give you.

I totally agree with the condition of the package looking 'handled' that gives it a real retro feel to it.
Awesome as always Nate !

I thought I'd post the reason why I didn't enter the Fan Art Challenge this month. You can blame this painting, which I made as a Christmas gift to my wife. She asked for a portrait of our dog, and here it is! It's behind glass, so please excuse the reflections.

Haha! Oh man, that's gold! What was your wife's reaction?

[JRadMCW]

She's gorgeuos!

[Czarcher]

what the hell?

[jkaris]

Awesome! Hahahaha!

[WhiteLeo]

I don't think that was quite what she had in mind Nate!!! But that his hella funny man!!!

WhiteLeo

[Tortle]

Thanks, guys! Yeah, she had been clamoring for a painting of our dog for quite a while. But there's no way I'm going to do something so boring as that, so I found a good classical art painting and modeled the portrait after that. My wife really likes it, which is great because it took 10+ hours to do.

Here's a sketch I did before a meeting last week. It's the Claw pouncing on some poor fool!

Here's a commission I did for djniku19... DJ Claw! The concept was his idea, and when he mentioned it, it gave me a great mental image so I ran with it. I included the sketch and the finished version.
