Man, I heard late 70's-early 80's rock in my head when I saw this! Great image!
AC/DC's Thunderstruck is exactly what I thought of when I saw this picture. Great artwork.

Judas Priest -- Screaming for Vengeance.

The pose, anyway. I usually see the T-birds as facing front, taking flight, so it's great.

Thank you for all the compliments. Here is the Dancing Shadow. Done on toned paper in pencils and adjustments made in Gimp. I thought about having the shadow projected onto a wall looking creepy like what is usually seen in the movies but decided against it.

Very cool lighting 8-) we'll likely need to bump up the contrast a bit before adding to FG2.

I'm working my way through FG2 right now, and I have already come up with a problem:
teaman wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 8:53 amHere's the first entry, an ADVI (plain vanilla)
The image John shared with us is a "vanilla" advi, but we have no stats or description for such a creature. That is, the image depicts a creature the GM can't actually use. I love your work, teaman, but I don't feel like it's a good idea to include an image of a monster that doesn't exist.

Who created the Advi in the first place? Can we come up with a new monster for this image, so I can use it?

On a related note... where is the full-resolution version of this image? I don't seem to have it, and the one on the forum is under 2 inches wide at 300 dpi.

Huh, wonder how that happened? Maybe I didn't read the entry as carefully as I should.

Don't forget I owe you a piece of artwork for the recent advice. Just let me know if there is something in particular you'd like. Otherwise you get whatever nonsense I think up!

If we're going to use that Advi picture (no idea if we will or not now), I'll need the full-res version.

Solo, I don't think I have the original file any longer (was on the old computer). Not sure the res. on the version that is in there now.

Not high enough; it's under 2 inches wide at 300 dpi, and gets stairstepped if I blow it up.

Unless Chi has it, I don't think we can use it anyway.

Sorry about that, I did that one all digitally and will make any future ones a little larger or use 600 dpi.
