Art by a Troll... (part 1)

[IK the Troll]

These are character illustrations I've done for myself and my friends over the years for various role playing games.

Very impressive! You should do commissioned work, if you don't already

I've done illustrations for "The Book of the Fantastical" for the RPG The Everlasting from Visionary Entertainment Studios. I also did the graphics for that book as well as the graphics for the Second Edition of "The Book of the Unliving".

Other than that, I've done very little commissioned work.

Foolishly, I married a woman who thought my artwork was childish, and discouraged my making it. But that marriage is now over, and I'm starting to draw again. I'm rusty, but the thrill of creation is returning. And I may have more illustrations to show off soon.

Unless by 'childish' she meant 'professional quality', she was very wrong ;) I've seen many 'professional' illustrations that don't have the skill your pencil work does.

Heck, depending on your speed, could even add it to your Ren persona...Troll Artiste! ;)

[IK the Troll]

Thank you for the compliments.

It wasn't so much the quality, as much as the subject matter.

She also didn't value art as a career, but let's not go there. It's a long unhappy story.

I'm glad my art is appreciated here. :D

Anybody who crushes creativity and imagination isn't worth keeping. You were right to end the relationship. That's come good stuff there, IK. I knew the first one was Rifts-related just by looking at him, but I thought he was a Line Walker. Looks like he could easily be a Samurai Jack or Star Wars: Clone Wars villain as well.

[Sabertooth Kitten]

Excellent work indeed!
I can only imagine what would have come if you and Dad had combined your talents.

[Plunder Down-Under]

Creativity is Awesome. Get some in ya!
