The war had left the western European countries unable to sustain themselves on their depleted natural resources. With impenetrable Russia to one side and the Atlantic on the other, the New European Council passed the emergency Act of 2126. This Act allowed for all of western European nations to individually invade or occupy the African continent in an effort to obtain the necessary resources to rebuild.<br />Unable to sustain a prolonged naval campaign circling the Iberian Peninsula to reach Africa, England requested permission from the French Government to cross to the Mediterranean by land with the promise of a large percentage of their new colonies' wealth. French Prime Minister Riberrie opposed this idea fervently and was subsequently overruled and exiled by the French Parliament. While the French armed forces were occupied with securing land in Africa, the British troops of the supply train which ran from Northern France to the southwestern coast, became more and more brazen in their treatment of the locals. Towns were sacked and French citizens executed without trial for alleged crimes against the British troops. The French government turned a blind eye to these atrocities as it found itself without the man power to react, and because it feared that if the truce with England was broken, France would have easily fallen given that it was effectively already invaded.<br />However, in a small town of the province of Lorraine, after witnessing the death of her family at the hands of a small British patrol, a young French girl named Joan took up arms in self defense and fought back killing the English attackers. Fed up by the state of affairs and inspired by this young girl's courage the townsfolk joined their beloved La Pucelle in her campaign against the British supply train. Steadily gaining popularity and support from neighboring towns and provinces, Joan began her quest to drive out the British troops and to restore PM Riberrie to the head of the Parliament.<br /><br />Photoshop - 1 day ;D<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk6u8xQJE8GTt09iDBmHDv1yByRSQFn0JZ0qavkkkExsK8EJEcs3YKW_pFEJzyZQmgPATN2Pb_TCuoSbMGG9bUWU8dj8QT5zqgOXwb7Ex8DIMWzKtNoXArX3SPvMvoffNsYhoz1cHyNys/s1600-h/JoanOfArc1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk6u8xQJE8GTt09iDBmHDv1yByRSQFn0JZ0qavkkkExsK8EJEcs3YKW_pFEJzyZQmgPATN2Pb_TCuoSbMGG9bUWU8dj8QT5zqgOXwb7Ex8DIMWzKtNoXArX3SPvMvoffNsYhoz1cHyNys/s320/JoanOfArc1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329048500496198818" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-11597844542681077382009-03-29T13:24:00.000-07:002009-03-29T13:27:55.672-07:00Johnny boy...Just some more John Constantine character studies.

This time it is of the Chinese emperor's pet velociraptor, mistakenly believed to be a dragon, and named Jiao-Long. It was said that the emperor would consult Jiao-Long on matters concerning the state, and the "dragon's" response would come in the form of a bellowing cry. The key to determining it's meaning was closely related to the time of day at which Jiao-Long decided to sing. The hour of the dragon was the most auspicious time, the hour of the Rooster however, forbode bad tidings.<br />Seen here with one of "The Eight Dragon Masters", personal guards and handlers assigned by the emperor himslef, Jiao-Long wails to the valley below.<br /><br />The image was done in Photoshop, start to finish. I only did grayscaling due to my other commitments having precedence time wise, but I think it came out nicely. Ill color it one day when I have the time.<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Ask not for whom Jiao-Long sings....He sings for you.</span></blockquote><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqeY93jrq9tPbc5t54PzJwrV6FhITmW9gA9Eiz27fPYgsh4fWmbHq5K7OYTzhVZl_M_T8QPL5hOY8D6oJDzUKM5bsrNERRmq44DDYKY-_33GqFTMOSMYPNCCYcfjtDgU6YB_AjVNPq4u4/s1600-h/JiaoLong-DragonMaster.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqeY93jrq9tPbc5t54PzJwrV6FhITmW9gA9Eiz27fPYgsh4fWmbHq5K7OYTzhVZl_M_T8QPL5hOY8D6oJDzUKM5bsrNERRmq44DDYKY-_33GqFTMOSMYPNCCYcfjtDgU6YB_AjVNPq4u4/s320/JiaoLong-DragonMaster.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280383796083522130" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-75125651268028858992008-12-01T16:28:00.000-08:002008-12-01T16:40:22.544-08:00Goblin Big BossI saw this topic over at C.A. and couldn't resist having a go at it. It's supposed to be the big bad-guy from a goblin gun-slinger world...so I came up with this guy: armed with two 16-gauge automatic pistols that are belt-fed from twin 100-round drums mounted on a harness. The harness also has a back part which acts like a pistol magazine, but instead of single bullets it dispences fresh 100-round drums. When the Goblin Big Boss runs out of ammo from the current drums, he pulls them off, reaches back and grabs two more over his shoulders from the loader and clips them to the front of his harness feeding the belts into his guns to continue firing.<br />Here's the pic..I went analog on this cuz I knew if I started a digital painting it would have taken me a lot longer to do, and Im busy...very busy with other projects...but all work and no play makes Claudio a dull boy......ergo... :D<br />See y'all later.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt66DmIybqzr0SYw1IwayMiK9LQHgZ8cLUVhR6-CFuIedB5S7DhxDOifiYekHgT9vBWzWXSKGkWp7_g0qOG-87u90b4WF-DZIcdn3y7G4v10yxJWpdmiRQTR7ABnN8xZZwBvYqlyfoB2A/s1600-h/Boss-Gobbo2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt66DmIybqzr0SYw1IwayMiK9LQHgZ8cLUVhR6-CFuIedB5S7DhxDOifiYekHgT9vBWzWXSKGkWp7_g0qOG-87u90b4WF-DZIcdn3y7G4v10yxJWpdmiRQTR7ABnN8xZZwBvYqlyfoB2A/s320/Boss-Gobbo2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274985396741332114" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-12028242232292546452008-11-16T16:57:00.001-08:002008-11-16T17:24:39.890-08:00Here, take my card...So here it is, finally finished, my business card.

The idea is from the DSG of the CA boards. It took me a bit of time to do this (in photoshop) but it's because I learned something with every "brush" stroke. I hope to get a few of these creatures together and open a new section of my art gallery.<br />Concept design is more about creativity than skill, but obviously those with high skill get the job done faster, and better :P I hope to improve both on speed and ability, but in the mean time all you get is this pic.<br />The idea is that this dragon evolved as a herbivorous creature. So I took away it's talons and gave him hooves, also he has no sharp teeth and has a soft set of lips with whcih to strip folliage from shrubbery and trees. His wings no longer help him fly, as everything he needs grows on the ground. his eyes are not set in the front as a predator's are, but rather far apart to keep an open eye on his surroundings. Blah blah blah...anyhow I hope you like it XD<br /><br /><a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/HerbiDragon1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/HerbiDragon1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-19702902443276993882008-06-12T14:49:00.000-07:002008-06-12T15:09:17.995-07:00A little Dab of Color...Here's another attempt at coloring another one of my pages...I like desaturated colors..what can I say, and Im trying to make them work. What I love is the contrast between the atmospheric tones with the saturated and bright colors of the FX/SFX since it lets them pop out while maintaining some sort of chromatic coherence...ooooOOOOoooh fancy 25cent terminology XD<br />Owari!<br /><br /><a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/OUAH-page0-Color-small1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/OUAH-page0-Color-small1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-6101084057752551382008-06-04T16:01:00.000-07:002008-06-07T08:44:31.663-07:00Girls with guns...So, I skipped ahead a bit in the story line to work on an action sequence...Didn't bother posting the pencils again, but I think you get the idea that usually I ink right over the lines i put down originally...So there shouldn't be much difference..Anyhow here it is..not much more to say...^_^<br /><br /><a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/page10-ink-small1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/page10-ink-small1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Update: Here's the colored version...didnt want to do a new post for every step of the process so here it is...Im happy with the result, tho it could always be better...enjoy! ^_^<br /><br /><a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/page10-color-small1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb304/TenGuKu/page10-color-small1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>TenGuKuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06571669077179012398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446597838636179987.post-5454096711121105442008-05-08T04:57:00.000-07:002008-05-08T05:04:48.432-07:002 More and Switch Gears...Two more pages from the story I am working on.
