Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Hello watchers and watcherettes!

It's been an awful long time since I last posted here and I've actually received some Notes regarding my "dissapearance" from dA these days. Those as well as the constant flood of favourites and comments I deeply apprecaite and thank. It's the best compliment I can get as an artist to be cherished not only because of said artwork but also at a personal level... I'll be writing a bit more about my situation in my Journal tonight.

The good news is that I'm still working like crazy and in-between commissions and delayed projects, I've conjured up yet another of my B&W pieces.
It's amazing how these help me relieve stress and focus on what's important for me at a creative level. They challenge my designing, inkking and composition... in B&W you only have your lines to rely upon and they have to convey the most of what you're trying to say or you're lost.
You'll notice that I'm getting more confident in texturising as well as adding more and more complex details with each passing image.

Also, I've noticed that my B&Ws tend to take me much more into the Fantasy realm than the Sci-Fi... I wonder why that is? Anyway, I'm ejoying these greatly and I hope to have more coming soon.

Let me know what you think as usual and hit that

button if you think it's worth it!

Until very soon!

Nic.-

nice and dark, I like it!

I think this is one of your best B&W's. Your texturing and detail work is as good as ever. But I really like this for the "reversed" effect. Where It's normal to see white drawings with black as shading, having an ink black character with white lines and texturing strikes me as really original.

It makes the fire look so much hotter.

I certainly agree with your statement, great work Nic love the lines and the monochorme touch you've gone with.

Unfortunately I don't have much to say for this one, besides her bad breath. You could roast a couple a spits of meat offa that heat.

Great work Nic!

not a fan of this one mate'...

something's off in this pic (or just unusual seeing as you usually dont go into dark-skinned charas)...the black-to-white balance seems too saturated by the darkness of the face.Dunno,maybe adding a few white strokes here and there (maybe a smoke effect around the mouth to really just lighten the area) could help...

Otherwise,really liking the necklace pieces and the horns on the shoulders....its a good addition compared to just sticking wings onto a babe and calling it quits

Nice to see some darkskinned characters. They always sem underrepresented in people's galleries for some reason.

I like the linework here and how clean it is despite the amount of detailing going into it. Unlike some of this year's Golden Demon entries, it's very readable.

The only thing I'm not that enarmoured of is the under-boob thing going on here. It just looks uncomfortable. But maybe that's why the dragon-lady is breathing fire?

Simply stellar.
