Thanks, I have been doing the February Cover of Pikestaff for 7 - 9 (?) years now.  I also do other months, and other mags/newsletters, but doing the February Pikestaff is usually my favorite thing.

Additionally... Since they belong here... My modeling with fire photos.
(I did not take the pictures, or have any control over the camera... but they make me look purty)

The Gladiolas are wonderful, so is the architectural stuff, Persephone, is that a Portman building?

Blaze... I honestly could not tell you. It's a modern building. Hyatt Hotel in Denver... But I have no idea if the architect was in fact modeling it after a certain style. Heh. I came for Jim Butcher, and I stayed for the architecture.
I love your old english lettering and art! *forgive me if there's a certain name for it*

And... I'm posting it here, because I'm really proud of how this one came out... My daughter never holds still long enough for me to take her picture, but this one came out beautifuly... I'm going to print it for my wall.


The depth of field came out so nicely... I'm boggled.

Gorgeous!  But how can it help but be gorgeous when the subject is so beautiful?   ;)

There is a special name for what I do!  That is calligraphy (the beautiful writing, which is the literal translation of the word) and illumination.  Illumination being the drawing parts.  Thank you, I am glad that you like it.  I am actually only a mediocre calligrapher (or scribe) and feel my forte is the illumination part, but I like doing both, and so I do both.

The letter forms change according to where in history and geography they come from.  There are better examples out there, and I hope that if you are interested will ask me for some URLS.

Lots of folks already know, but my online gallery's linked in my signature.  Haven't added anything in quite a while, but then again, I haven't really done much drawing lately.  I might add some stuff from work, though.

Didn't know that you could build lighthouses sideways!  ;D

Hey Blaze, is that something you were commisioned to do?  That is very cool.  It is hard to tell from the picture exactly how it was done, do you have a close up?

LOL -- No, I was not commissioned to do that, that is an npc character in the Dresden files RPG I play in.  How'd I do it?



I took this image.

A back ground shot of the park that I copped off a Chicago tourism site (Public domain) and I photoshopped them together!

I wish I could say that I got Wachter to stand by the sign and hold still for me.  LOL

This is how Wachter started life.  I sketched him because even with a good description I felt that the player characters could relate to him better if they actually saw him in a photo.
