Description Just thinking about a batch of stuff. This one thing I'm working on has a similar, not quite vertical, high angle perspective, which isn't so easy for me. And I really liked how the inks turned out in that bar brawl picture - I wanted to see if I could get some of the line weight.

And I still like the look of purely black and white art a lot - a lot of the time I waffle on whether I want to color things, and the result is I don't make stuff with enough actual black areas. So here I was trying to have the black areas connect up through the picture but give some focus too.

love the angle and the skulking about that was a large part of the D&D game

we had a player who loved taking risks like this

Very crisp work- the Dwarf going down though does not look happy about it!

Very clean. Solid lines. Inviting to color but not necessary, excellent BW work. RPG elemnts are just flat out fun to draw. I like the sharpness to your line style as well. One on rope, one descending, one on point. Good team work.

Thanks! One of my big failings right now is that I tend to want to have everything in color... but I like black and white and am inking my lines anyway... which means that I all-too-often compromise, and come up with b/w stuff which is a little too heavy to be good for coloring and a little too light to be good as is. Sometimes, though, I can get to a really good balance of stuff.

I know I said this in person, but I do think the time hacking the framing elements, and texture vs. open space balances of Mucha for that one Queen picture did add to your overall toolkit.

I should probably try doing more faux-Nouveau stuff then! But oof, it's so involved and a mental stretch (which means I should get off my ass and do it)...
