Wow, you really know something about historical warfare and arms! We might have common interest here. I'll soon publish my gallery in elfwood as well. Nice to have neighbors with a tie to historical details!

Cheers!

Josh Skaarup replies: "Hehe, hey man, Yeah, I love history, and arms and armor, and all the good stuff, lol"

Your pics are amazing Josh! Wish you were still in Fredericton so you could impart your talent with all of us! You probably don't remember me but your drawings are AWESOME! keep up the great work!

Josh Skaarup replies: "Geeze Liz, of course I remember you. It's not like I've been gone so long I've forgotten anybody, anyway, I'm coming to f'ton in two weeks, so I'll see you then, and Thanks for the reply! "

Great pics keep up the good work

Josh Skaarup replies: "Thanks AC...and I have to do it... Aces High!"

I love your artwork! not only are your warriors and battle scenes very badass but they also draw on cool historical concepts like mongols and russian vikings. I'm very happy to know that I'm not the only person on Elfwood who loves historical warfare and hoplology. keep up the good work!

Josh Skaarup replies: "Haha, Thanks again Dan. I love history, mostly the weapons, warriors and warefare of times gone by... I don't see why more people don't like history, it's so fascinating!"

Josh-ness! Awesome Gallery you have here, Drey. I love you.

Hey, you fellow Nova Scotian, you ^_~

As I said in my other comment, you really have good shading, er, skills!

There's so much detail put into all of your pieces, how long exactly does it take you to draw a pics...on average?

I'm interested in putting together a collection of Sword of Truth fan art. Much like the art books you see for other games and books. I feel that a book of sketches would be an excellent supplement for first time readers, or even veterans like me who have read the series all the way through 4 or more times, but still have fuzzy images in their heads for certain scenes.
I don't really plan on selling it or anything, but I would be more than happy to post all of the pictures submitted. My other motivation for this collection is that I have taken a lot of good from the Sword of Truth Series. I feel that I have grown as a person as a direct result of these novels. In much the same as a monk who goes to the top of a mountain to meditate on unity with the universe, I too wish to go on a journey on behalf of the series and fans of the series that will be a lot of hard work, and produce a worthwhile tribute in the end.
List of Scenes that I need Pictures for.
Send me a message if any of this sounds interesting to you, if you wish to produce a piece of fan art or two, or if you simply wish to convey that same feeling of longing for appreciation of the series.
