Najirara card

Another villain :) I had fun with this one.

Painted in Krita.

Kuma card

It's been a while. I've been busy working on Nethbane, which releases this Friday. I've been wanting to do another trading card for a while, so I figured I would bite the bullet and do one for Kuma, a major character in the series. This didn't come out quite how I wanted with the lighting and pose, but I was able to play more with the art program and learn some new things.

I need to practice my metals again.

Painted in Krita. Enjoy.

Nenenusa card

A villain card! Anyone who has read The Rebirth Trilogy will recognize this guy. I had to fight with the lighting on him to get it how I wanted, as I wanted the magic in his hand to stand out, as well as his eyes, but I wanted viewers to be able to see the detail of his skin pattern.

This is also the first card where I painted the image specifically for a card, rather than using art I had finished prior to making these cards.

Volcanic worm card

Another creature card! This time, I thought I would do a non-race creature. Readers of Eternity's Edge may recognize this beastie.

Valorram card

Here's the first of the divine type cards. These feature godly characters that appear in the world of Gaia. I chose white as the predominant color for the background and more artistic text, as I really wanted these to stand out as special.

The top bar shows the name of the being and, in this case, the runic symbol that represents that being. The text beneath the picture is the same as it is for character cards, with a name/position, where the character first appeared, and then a short descriptive text.

Rough Krieg paint

Been playing around with an art program I was newly introduced to - Krita. I've still got a lot to learn, but it is definitely going to be fun to use. Here is the first image I've done in the program. Yep, lots of room for improvement, but we'll get there. Shout out to William Thorup, who introduced me to the program!

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Reima card

The third character card, Reima! This is the main character of my books Taloner: Reima and Taloner: Reima 2. I had originally lost the Muzi'kechi symbol when my last computer crashed, but thanks to the awesome site lulu.com, where these books are published, I was able to download my original manuscript document and acquire an image to work with. It's the furthest symbol to the right in the top corner.

Kudos to S. A. Thorup for pointing me in lulu.com's direction!
