SciFi and Fantasy Art Gone but not forgotten by Craig Oshima

On their way to the elf-town of Cathannon, this party encountered one of the small folk, a pixie who stole gold and a magic rope from them. While the pixie taunted them, Ruil urged the others to attack, which resulted in personal rain clouds over herself and the half-elf rogue. Ruil urged the wizard Tumbleweed to use some magic, but he refused, and the pixie caused group of skeletal birds to materialize and fight over which could roost on Ruil's head. They continued on then, Ruil and the wizard arguing, while the pixie tagged along for awhile to enjoy the show.

10 Feb 2003	Trina Daniel	Loading... slaps Craig for not telling her about the update and then does the first comment dance I like this picture. Once again great detaila and pencilwork. I think you represented the rain very well. And good job on drawing skeletal birds, that must have been tricky. Heehee! I love the pixie in the tree! Great job telling the story too! sniffs indignantly and protests that he DID send an email to treena to let her know, but cannot prove it right now since he sent it from work. I'll check tomorrow and make sure I had the correct address...I have a picture of an early version of this drawing where I sketched a bird skeleton (from some web page) so I could reference it while drawing the birds. It was in the lower-left, now covered by shrubs. Also, I have to confess about the rain: I was unsure how to do it and didn't want to ruin the drawing, so I faked the rain in Photoshop after scanning, but the rainclouds are genuine...used a kneaded eraser for those.

4 Mar 2003	Dennis Drury	Loading... Whoever was DM for your campaigns really understood how to do it right. The DM understood that you have to make these things FUN, not just one battle after another. It's interesting how rarely anyone understands that point; I must have played over a dozen computer RPG's before I played one where they really had fun with the characters (Baldur's Gate II). TV makes the same mistake when it tries to do fantasy or SF. (E.g., while the original Star Trek often had fun with the characters -- Harry Mudd, Tribbles -- all the later Trek series seemed to take themselves far too seriously.) The DM for this campaign should be hired by some producer to teach the writers how to have fun with fantasy or SF. This scene is absolutely precious, and of course you drew it very well, as usual. You might do the best job of drawing groups of characters interacting that I have seen anywhere in the 'Woods.
21 Mar 2003	Irina Goodwin	Loading... WOW! What an amazing idea! And what amazing imagery to portray it!
16 Jul 2003	Caroline Palmer (Ridyard)	Loading... Another sneaky sneak! You did quite well with this one to capture the mood. I love how some of your pieces have a little story to go with them.
