Before September end.

Just a quick post this time round before September ends of a few pieces that have recently been printed. First up some work Le Grimoire's latest excellent entry in the Lone Wolf series. Sadly my French is even worse than abysmal and my attempts to learn highlight my ...dare I say, 'forgetfulness'? But Sebastien [editor and publisher] is ever helpful, and so I muddle bye as they say .... thanks to his English :).

The book 'LOUP SOLITAIRE' : Livre D'adventure  [http://www.legrimoire.net/default-grimoire-english.htm and http://www.legrimoire.net/store/ for more information] primarily features the work of Gary Chalk and If you're a fan do check it out as he has excelled himself. But there also a few pieces by yours truly and here are some of those.

So these are a few pieces from the French edition of NOUVEAUTE : LIVRE D'AVENTURE - Ouvrage inédit disponible (Août 2011).

Next time [and probably next week] some recent commissioned pieces. 

How to rough it ... an example

Thanks to Atom, I'm going to post one of my rough sketches for an image I did for Le Grimoire's Lone Wolf .. http://www.legrimoire.net/images/russ-nicholson.htm though the rough went through various changes, including 'corrections' from the client it was actually completed using a graphic tablet.

development of rough sent to client before changes made primarily to street detail and size of central heroes

Below is a copy of the final piece the original and the final piece used.

Other little jobs included this 'Kurtok', for New Zealand, and a few more Spurgers for Space madness.

A harbour from ye old Fabled Lands ...and a Kabuki theatre.

Now some real old pieces, that last appeared in the American fanzine, Copper Toadstool 5, published in 1979.

For those that missed it [cough] you'll also see I can now be found on facebook but don't expect anything to exciting. Blogs are it see....

Finally, a couple of Spacey bits to add to my space posts ... and to whet any appetites for such ... added again, because he wanted to see roughs. Though no claims the final work will be much of an improvement. lol

Till der next time .... before I moves to Gobsville [oooh, dats a secrets]. Don't sent roun' der bozys, please.

Addition ... Sebastien Boudaud, editor extraordinaire [Le Grimoire] , friend and other titles to numerous to mention, has kindly posted on facebook an interview I had at last years Monde de Jeu . Having listened to it after a year ... I realise it leaves a lot to be desired [cough] and memory is not my strong point as me ol' mother would say. But for those interested who have not heard it ....hear it is: http://www.scifi-universe.com/fiche_actu.asp?id=10234.

ALSO ... Do check out http://www.ancientblades.com/ where David Chandler has set up his own web page and which features the work I did for his Free City of Ness project.

lastly ... Amused to see that http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110723238706&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT   has had no takers. 

10/9/11 ... Now it has ..... don't know what to think, to a private amusement. Though in one respect it's nice.
