The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
While I haven't done anything official yet, I have done a lot of Eberron illustrations (mostly Warforged), both for my own amusement and for private commissions. I thought it might be cool to collect them all in one place.
As long as people are just using them in their own games and not reposting them anywhere, I have no problem with them being borrowed for visual reference.
Warforged Master Inquisitive
Shifter Monk
Warforged Monk
Warforged Druid
Warforged Paladin
Shifter Ranger
Changeling Rogue and Sorcerer
Warforged Sorcerer (cobbled together from pieces of other Warforged bodies)
Really nice, I especially like how colorful they are, it is a nice contrast with a lot of the artwork you see in the official material (which is also quite excellent). Now, if only there was one of a Kalishtar monk...
I have to say, from an artistic point of view, the Kalashtar are boring as hell. They're basically just very pretty humans.
Oh I understand that, and to a certain extent I agree, but I am still trying to understand any thematic commonalities they may have culturally. Essentially I am just trying to figure out what one of their monks would look like, and do so in a way that makes sense to me. But I can definitely understand how it would be more interesting to draw a warforged or shifter then a glowing eyed human.
I did a little pencil portrait of my 3rd level rogue, Roven Locke, this weekend. He's not for an Eberron game, but there's no reason he couldn't be used in one:
I'm sure I've said this before, but I love your work, DMAC. I was surprised as hell when, flipping through the Dragonstar book that I purchased way back when, I saw that you had done some illustrations for it. The gold half-dragon was quite the dapper draconic fellow. I also can't believe how old some of these drawings are, because I remember seeing most of the WIPs in the threads you made for them.
The Dragonstar stuff feels like a very long time ago. I actually gave the half-dragon diplomat a fresh coat of paint a while after the book was finished.
Wow, me of those are awesome. I've not looked too much into the Eberron setting but your Warforged immediately make me want to know more about them. That Warforged Druid is cool on so many levels. The Shifters look great too, really... Shifter-y.
Any chance you could PM me info on how you deal with private commissions?
As far as commissions go, people usually contact me with a description of their character and what sort of piece they're looking for (color or black and white, portrait, full body, etc.) and then I work out a price. I usually ask for at least half of the money up front and the other half on completion.
I'm currently working on 6 character pieces for a new Mutants & Masterminds book which are due next Monday...
How much would you be looking at for an individual human soldier from a certain culture? Black and white, full body shot. Just the sort of thing you'd put in a setting book to show the archetypal member of a race or culture. This is for an open-project I'm working with someone on so it really wouldn't need to be too professional looking, just something we can use to visualise our idea.
If we were to ask for 5 or 6 similar drawings on top of this would the price go up at the same rate?
Yeah, I was referring to the chitin armor pieces. I kind of like the one with more sun, it brings out the color on the armor a lot better. Very nice piece, regardless.

I belive this is an oath breaker whos life religon/community is based around scorpions and shadow so the first drawing is probably more in context...

Sexy artwork.
I can't believe those first pieces are over 2 years old now...
Very nice work.
All he needs is a pipe welded to his mouth.
And a gold tophat.
And maybe a cane. A metal cane.

There's also an alternate "sunnier" color version here:
