Bella's Artwork

[Bellacouste]

<p>I've been rather productive lately as far as artwork goes, so here are the pieces I've been busy with.</p><p>First up, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Asphodelus and the Orc</span></p><p>Asphodelus Amandier is my Wood Elf Swashbuckler and here she is expressing her opinion of Orcs.  Getting the Orc's mouth and tusks to look right was actually the hardest part of the peice.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/AsphodelusandOrc.png" width="715" height="1024" /></p><p>Next is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hoddmimir Raises a Minion</span>.</p><p>Hoddmimir Sholt is my Arasai Necromancer and he needed a new minion after the last one broke, so here he is at the cemetary raising some poor human.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/HoddmimirRaisesaMinion.png" width="636" height="1024" /></p><p>Now for some humor!</p><p>Someone in the Items and Equipment forum, I believe mentioned a hamster ball like mount.  We, at one point, owned 16 hamsters, so I couldn't resist sticking my own little Ratonga, Bellacouste in one!  (Her brother, Charlemin is a Paladin and threatened me with his replica of the Qeynos Claymore when I approched him with the idea.  As it is, it took a peice of cheese and a basket to get Bella in there.)</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/RatongaBall.png" width="759" height="1024" /></p><p>Speaking of cheese and baskets, here is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rat Trap</span>, with my dad's Kerra Paladin, Robellianna and Bellacouste.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/KittyandRat.png" width="1024" height="710" /></p><p>That's all for now!</p><p>(And watch out for peices of cheese in strange places, it could be a trap!)</p><p> <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=442227" target="_blank">Old Work</a></p>

<p>Been quite a while since I did any EQ artwork, but I think it's high time I updated this!  Below is my newest piece as well as some others that I just never got around to adding to this thread.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tunare Poster</span></p><p>First up is an art nouveau style Tunare done in ink and watercolor.  I tried drawing the fae flowers and starflowers in the medalions.  In the Emerald Halls there is one vine of starflowers that are a very fetching color of red, so I used that color for the flowers instead of the blueish-purple or pale pink the flowers are usually found in.  Her dress is based off of screenshots of Tunare from EQ1 I found (with some changes), since I did a search for 'Tunare' and it didn't occure to me that in EQ2 what I was looking for was mostly labeled as the 'Avatar of Growth'.  (I like Tunare's outfit from EQ1 better anyway. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/TunarePosterWCSmall.png" width="750" height="922" /></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Fae Flies into a bar...</span></p><p>This is something I turned into a desktop to celebrate that the thread 'A fae flies into a bar...' in the Roleplay Forum has gone on for a year.  Pictured are the three current players.  We all have Ratongas so I figured I'd draw them together.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/AFaeFliesintoaBarNB.png" width="1023" height="742" /></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Erudin Scholar</span></p><p>This one was also turned into a desktop, for the people who participated in the forum quest 'Where did this come from?' which was part of the prelude event for the Sentinal's Fate expansion.  If you have the book 'Collected writings of an Erudin Scholar' in game, this is my take on the poor guy who wrote all that.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/TheErudinScholar.png" width="1023" height="690" /></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Notable Norrathians: Hasten Bootstrutter</span></p><p>This was my submission for, if I remember correctly the 2010 artwork contest, Notable Norrathians.  This is Hasten Bootstrutter chilling out in Antonica.</p><p><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab97/Bellacouste/Artwork/NotableNorrathians-MappedHorizensRevised.png" width="800" height="600" /></p><p>Happy Hunting!</p>
