I'm starting to dezombify, and as a result, I'm scrambling to get commissions started. Here's what I've got so far:
- Variel 2.0 - base sketch is blocked out, may take even more time than anticipated. Should be done by late 2010.
- Joleesa Morvais - frantically searching for stock photos
I'm also working on three personal works, plus a drawing for a neighbor of her cat. Oh, yeah, and I have to do a series of portrait photos for a friend's drama school application. Whee! I am so f$#!ing swamped, it's not even funny!

Ok...been real busy, but I got a bunch of drawings up. No commissions though. A couple of them are fantasy though. Like Bonestaff Skellington and Darkwing the Necromancer, two of the 5 founding members of Lefty's rights (I'll get around to explaining them someday...basically your typical adventuring group NPC background party. There's also the first drawing I did of my brother's mage Richard Knox and a Gith Jedi...That's fantasy, right?

Wasn't sure if my mojo was totally back yet, so I drew one of my own characters as a test. You be the judge.

And speaking of cheesecake...
I've seen that strip before and enjoyed it.
I can't help imagining Dora with the same voice as Jayne in 'Daria'.
Is that wierd?
Do other people 'hear' the written word, or am I just a freak?

I hear people, but I don't know who Jayne is.
In my mind, Dora sounds a bit like Jewel Staite.

I have a question for the DeviantArts people around here, is there something going on with the filters on Deviant Art's site? I used to be able to view a couple of fairly good galleries that had some mature content in them but it seems like now it just boots me out of those areas or fails to display thumbnails. Are they deciding to hold back some content to try to force people to join the website with a monthly payment or something? Or is something wrong with my account info?

did you accidently turn back on the mature filter? cuz i'm not having any problems...though I am a subscriber, so i'm not sure if it'll help you...

I'm later than I would have liked with this, but I've finished the drawing of Wren for Kayos. I hope you like it! :)
That's really good. I'm a little creeped out by the way her dress is snaking around her bellybutton, 'though! It looks like it's alive!
Maybe it is!?
I'm sure a priestess of Calistria could find a use for a Sarong of Binding...

And finally:
I hope you like it!
My first Halfling ever. I like Golarion's twist on Halflings ang gnomes, making gnomes more feylike and drawing a clearer line between halflings and gnomes psysichal appearances. In my view Halflings are more "stubby, child-like people" and the Gnome more thin, fey-like fellows. What do you think? ALso I uploaded a couple sketches on the Scraps gallery on the process of this one.
Next: A personal female. This one is on sketch process already so it shoul be up tomorrow latest.
Is it me or these days the boards are too quiet? Holiday week I suppose.
EDIT: Tamec, would you share a small description/background on Foppin for uploading it on deviant?

So uh no one interested in doing a drawing of Merle then?
So, I looked back for your post, and the link doesn't work so I still don't know what sort of catfolk you are looking for. I still have eleven of a series of twelve that I'm working on, and I promised to have the next one done the first week in January. I was planning to take this week off of drawing, but I can try to squeeze in your catfolk if you'd like. Just get me that link and a little more description by tomorrow, 'kay?

Awesome work Hugo.
I don't have the campaign setting yet but are halflings still nomadic gypsies? I never liked that change in 3.x. My original concept doesn't mesh with being nomadic, and I don't know if there are any permanent settlements.
Foppin stands 3'4" tall and weighs 38 pounds making him one of the tallest and hardiest halflings in the Vale. He tends to wear loose fitting clothes of browns, greens, and grays while out on patrol, but most nights, though, when he's not on patrol he's just as happy wear more colorful clothes and to sit back with some good leaf and a mug of ale.

I love that though she is Bathing she is not unarmed. That is just so much a combat rouge!

Hugo and other artist I have a request, not necessarily for new artwork, but that would be nice, No I ask you to Help a brother out with some art work for his Psionic rules update for the pathfinder system. I think it would look very snazy with just a little art. that and adding in anything else you creative geniuses have in store.

Cool, that link works. I have a pretty good idea what you're looking for now. Just one thing....umm, is Merle a girl?

Hugo Solis |

Thanks for the kind words on Foppin!
Crimson Jester, right now I can't participate since the inbox its more than full.... Luckly I got more magazine commissions and those are like ten more drawings... :S
Here's Seoni without text and wraping paper if someone wants to print a pinup ;)

Okay, I confess, I am a sucker for psionics. I don't have time for a lot, but I can probably manage a small sketch of a psicrystal wandering about. *sigh* I'm not very good at taking time off, am I?

An "I'll draw you as your PC" character for Yasha's wife, Luna
A chelish noblewoman, I hope I can find Yasha soon to ask him for the backgroun on the PC.
I hope you like it!
Next: Lots of magazine commissions (yay!) that I have to deliver next week (not Yay...), I'll try to continue pulling two or three PCs on the next 12 days.

I gotta say, Hugo, you are creating a beautiful portfolio. I checked out your latest and then scanned through your DeviantArt folio and you have an amazing amount of fantastic work there that has been produced pretty quickly.
If Paizo doesn't offer you some work shortly and pull you in as an artist, I personally am gonna be very upset. Your breadth of talent is phenomenal and the level of quality in your art is easily on par with what I see in Paizo products.I am inspired by you and also intimidated by you. I wish I had your level of talent.

Hugo Solis |

Now there, you are going to make me blush :)
Well, I think I got the practice back but there's still a long way to go on proportions and muscles. Also, the most important thing... I'm still not coloring... :( Hopefully soon I'll get my tablet and build up a color portfolio. Also during in this proccess I'm starting to get a few "published" stuff on my portfolio so maybe on 6 more months I could be taken seriously ;)
Thanks for the super-kind words and all the support!

Don't ever thank me for kind words. I thank you for the amazing art(for free, no less!) and the joy of trying to learn from someone who is truly talented in an area that I struggle to be talented in. You deserve and easily earn every kind word I could ever offer and I fully plan to try to sway the Paizo staff to get your art in some of the products I buy from them.
Maybe a good, old-fashioned, petition. In the form of a thread.
Hugo Solis |

I really appreciated the support! and the fact that lots of people joined in the "free art effort" so we can all learn from each other its really great! I hope more people keep joining up and we all continue feeding this thread such cool artwork.
And for the thread petition, gimme a few more months where I can build a color portfolio or your're going make me fall short! ;)

Shiny, I love the character.
I also love that comic strip. I love that comic strip so much that I read it from beginning to end over the course of two days and got no sleep. Gee thanks. I need another comics addiction like ... um ... hmmm ... well, I need another comics addiction. Yeah.
I'm later than I would have liked with this, but I've finished the drawing of Wren for Kayos. I hope you like it! :)
Excellent!

Kevin, I finished Merle last night, but haven't been able to get a turn with the scanner yet. (It's one of those all-in-ones, and the husband was using it to print work reports. Can't really kick him off when he's using it for the paying job.) I should be able to get it scanned later this afternoon, and I will put it up here as soon as I can.

Fake Healer I agree wih you in every word
Hugo is doing a great service to us all and he surely deserves attention to his art
also the rest: Kayos, Wren, Mr Shiny, Lilith and so many others are doing a great effort and giving their personal time to give us art that we enjoy.
cheers for you all friends :)
Edit PS: now... we need to begin critizing them a bit more :P otherwise like the caesars and generals of old Rome they will grow contentious and not continue growing :P
i know... i know... next week when i had finished HBO's Rome 2nd Season i would be less roman in my comments :P
