Gold Knight's EQ Sketchbook

Eh eh ... hello... I was thinking of doing this for a while, but it took me a while to actually start this thread. Here goes.

Well, I'm an artist and I like to sketch everyday. I don't ALWAYS finish my stuff, but I try. I mean, as you'll see below, my work is not always finished, but it's usually because I tend to go from one sketch to the next between distractions, you know?

Sometimes I just forget to draw some parts, sometimes I don't on purpose.

I sketch superheroes and fantasy characters a lot. I also sketch some of my favorite manga characters. I like to sketch people in general. I love playing around with facial expressions, postures, "What If" situations (for example I'd draw Suntop on a dragon) and things like that.

I also will take requests if somebody wants me to draw something. I like to sketch at least twice every day.

So, let me know if you want me to draw you anything.

In the meanwhile, I need to start off with a picture don't I? Here's one I just finished today while I was bored (and fighting nasty allergies)!

It's Kahvi with a glimpse of our favorite insane Wolfrider in the background. It's the first time I ever drew Kahvi, though I've drawn Two-Spear countless times in the past. Be gentle, this is actually the first Elfquest drawing I have attempted in almost a year. Woo-hoo...

I know I messed up a little on Kahvi's hand, I always have trouble with EQ hands. Also, I didn't have a reference for the spear so did that from memory and I know it looks kinda sucky. And I forgot to draw Kahvi's arm to boot Laughing

But here ya go anyway... comments are welcome, of course!

Wow, I talk a lot. Embarassed

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the thread's getting long enough that I'll include an index to my sketchbook here for any newcomer, as well as a "request list" - lol. That should save everybody the trouble of going through all the pages one by one. I'll update it as often as I can!

EDIT:I no longer do requests. I apologize to anybody who might have requested something and didn't get what they wanted. Perhaps someday when I have more time on hand!

Note: I also have these pics at my gallery at EQFanArt.com under "Gold Knight's Sketchbook" - some pics are in much better quality than on here. Check it out if you're bored. Smile

Yeah. You blabbermouth. Rolling Eyes

I really like your stuff, Knight. Your drawing style reminds me of that of someone I know. (I used to have quite the crush on him... Wink

)

Duty noted, Leanan. Smile

Aldar... one of my former girlfriends nicknamed me "Yenta." That's yiddish for "blabbermouth." Wink

Thanks for the compliments! If you want to see some comic book pages that I've done, go here, and scroll down to the bottom of 'Magik Stories' and click on 'Holy War the Comic' by Phil G (that is me, of course.) This site is hosted by my fanfic writer friend in London who wrote the script for me. There's only seven pages drawn so far, hopefully I will finish it in due course. Smile

Thanks, MultiMedea, but I can do better. Practice, practice, practice...

That's just a sketch? Shocked

Good mood, good positioning, good balancing of the two characters. I like the juxtaposition-- it brings out the relationship between Kahvi and Two-Spear very well.

(Warning, I'm not an artist, never pretended to be-- I have taken some courses in art history and so on, and my mother was an artist-- but don't take anything I say as expert in any fashion, ok?) But I like it! Very Happy

Don't get the wrong idea people... most of the stuff I did when I was 13 was crap Laughing

Heh, just did this one on a piece of computer paper in under 2 minutes... see, when I get to drawing Two-Spear, I can't stop drawing him, darnit!

Luckily I wrote a reminder to myself to do a Glider for Leanan, as you all can see Laughing

hahaha... at first I thought this was the glider you promised me... I admit I wasa bit confused since the glider looked like Two-Spear...

anyway, a good sketch of him...
