This is no big search or anything of an immediate need, but if anyone is a really talented (2D) artist, or knows someone who is and who is a fan of the period, we might be interested in working with them to develop some additional art for EB as a release (of 0.8 and then 1.0) gets closer. Possibly for use in publicity, website use, banners, in-game use even, etc.

Again, this isn't something vital now, but we definitely have room for this type of "expansion" of our presence at this time if the right person comes along. PM me or TK if you like, or post here.

I pride myself on some skill when it comes to drawing such things. However I have yet too get a scanner, but as soon as I get this job at EB I should have one.

Like Bopa said, I got some skills that EB could use. Just let me know with lead time what you guys are looking for.

I'd be willing to do some work for you guys, I consider myself a dab hand with a brush/pencil and I'm interested in the period.

We would, of course, need to see some sample work before any real discussions could take place. It may be posted here or links to it could be PM'd to myself or TK. We do have people with photoshop skills, and while we have some artists on the team, we don't have any currently able to do any scenes for promotional work; that's what we are looking for.

Don't know if ya'll could use this type of art anywhere, but here are a couple of [simple] samples (I am well able to do battle/action/city scenes). I'm just doing these for fun in my free time, so no worries if they aren't realistic enough...(gloat)

Please, stop doing this to me, it hurts! :shame:

I say the EB team sell some kidneys of the younger members to hire him. :2thumbsup:

Glad to hear you think these are kidney-worthy! Though I'd happily do whatever for the EB team in exchange for the hours of quality entertainment they've supplied me with free of charge...

I would have offered to, but there's no time, scanner, or anything as good as Disco's stuff.
Discoskull

That's freaking awesome.

Hey, hey, do a Casse Sword Lord?

I was planning on doing Casse once I finished this cataphract...so yeah.

Ok, this is a quick 1 & 1/2 hr sketch of a Samnite. It is by no means a final drawing.

Hope u guys like it... If EB is for real with non-Mod Art I can make more stuff for EB. :bow: (just let me know with lead time plz)

Great images Discoskull! Your reward is certainly well-deserved.


Excellent image Neo Spartan!

@ Discoskull:Excellent work.... i love the second image, it does suggest "face protection isi mportant in battle" & the third one will make every enemy of the Sweboz think: "Goddamm it, they hired Hulk and he is coming my direction!"

Respect out 2 neospartan too, so much detail in such short time.....

That image gets you thinking "If the fellow is charging against you, heavily stoned or druged, how the hell do you manage to stop a guy like that?"

Nice samnite Neospartan - I want to see it inked!

We have had a number of submissions, and with the betatest release I've been really swamped the last few days - haven't been able to get back to everyone yet. Some really great stuff though for sure by a number of people :2thumbsup:. I must say that we are pretty sure we will be moving ahead with discoskull though - the quality of the work (inside the forums the term "kick-ass" has been used quite a lot :grin:) and especially the desire to depict specifically EB units is great for us. We might work with some other folks too, but I really can't wait to see more of DS's work

I don't know how to work with "Color Ink", I've never used that medium. I could color it with "Color Pencils", or maybe "Chock Pastel", if I make a large peice.

If I were to finish this one I would have to finished it by pencil.... otherwise I would have to do a lot of ereasing :no:

Over the weekend I'll make a finished drawing of an EB unit. This one I'll leave as a study sketch.

PS: good work also for neospartan!
