Christian Conkle (a.k.a. Evil Schemer) posted some Encounter Critical fanart over at the official yahoo group. Very cool stuff. So cool, in fact, that I printed a couple for my daughter and I to color. Here are the results, starting with my daughter's work. First we have a Manion Devil. I had begun work on the suction cups when she snatched this one out of my hand and finished it.
While she was working on the Manion Devil, I started coloring the trim on the Bee Girl Queen's robe. Again she swiped the picture and finished it herself.
The cave ooze below was colored with a single crayon, a Coloriffic Swirly, that has several colors mixed together in a single stick. I rather like the effect.
Finally, here's my Bee Girl. I used another Swirly crayon on her boots, but the effect turned out more subdued than I had hoped for. I was trying to show her wearing Phasic Boots, whatever those might be. Also, I should have gone with a deeper green for the gloves.
Big thanks to Christian for uploading his fab drawings!
Back when I first started gaming, I meticulously colored in about half the illustrations in my Monster Manual. As neatly as I could, with colored pencils, paying careful attention to the descriptions (or, in the case of the kirin, the Japanese beer label pictured in another book I owned!)
ReplyDeleteI still sort of wish I'd followed through and finished them all. I suppose I could do it now, but coloring in a hardback game book at 33 is somehow not the same as doing it at 12.
Lawbag, that's a great idea!
