I've been doodling a fair amount for the CotCT game I'm running for my group, so I thought I'd share what I've got so far.
First, our team:
Amber, Urban Druid
Aula Wintrex, Wizard
Crispin, Priest of Cayden Cailean
Lehm, Rogue
Modus Sharn, Urban Ranger
Next, I got such a kick out of N'Wah's custom paper minis, That I'm trying it out myself. Here's what I have so far for 'Seven Days to the Grave':
Great stuff!! I especially like the looks of Amber and Jolistina! :)

Some new Miniatures for my game tonight
Seven Days to the Grave Set #2: Featuring Grey Maidens, Queen's Physicians, Dr. Davaulus, Rolth, and Ramoska
Immora's PCs Minitures
Wow, I love these!
Quick question: when you print them out, what are the settings you use to make them fit on a battlemap?
Immora,
Did you happen to do any of these for "Edge of Anarchy"...? I'm planning on running CotCT for my tabletop group and don't have appropriate minis. I'd love to print these off, color them, and use them for my game, if possible.

Thanks everybody, but N'wah deserves at least half the credit. I never would've thought of doing this without seeing his great work first.
Wow, I love these!
Quick question: when you print them out, what are the settings you use to make them fit on a battlemap?
They're currently sized to be printed out on a 4"x6" index card (which my printed handles specifically, but I'm not sure if everyone else's does) as is. They should come out approximately 1.5" tall, and about an inch across on the base.The originals were sized to 150dpi before I uploaded them to Photobucket (which hopefully isn't resizing them to 72dpi, internet standard); if they're printing out too tall, just reduce them 50% in your favorite image-editting software.
If your printer doesn't handle index cards, just pick up a sturdy card stock.
For bases, I've been cutting my own out of index card, but they're proving large and a tad too light, so I may switch to pennies soon.
Let me know if you're having any more trouble.

Sorry Neil, but I haven't done any for Edge of Anarchy. I didn't start until about two weeks ago, well after we got into 'Seven Days to the Grave'. I have a few more figures to finish for Seven Days, but afterwards I think I'll go back and draw some Edge of Anarchy figures (at least until I need some Escape from Old Korvosa figs in a month or so).
There are some great personalities in EoA that I really would love to draw, especially the Derro :D
Immora, have you thought in joining in this effort?
I saw it, and I love what's going on in there, but I didn't want to but in. If you think they wouldn't mind, though, I could try.
Great art! The Physician minis have a creepy/cute mix that's incredibly cool!
I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me.

My group only plays twice a month...alternating Fridays...and we won't get started until Jan. 23rd. So, if you have time between now and then...and you manage to finish up your Seven Days figures, I'd love to use anything you can complete by then. If you knocked out Gaedran Lamm and his cronies first, it would probably be another couple of weeks after that before we played again. So I have a feeling you could easily stay out in front of us as far as drawing the figures go.
But no pressure. This is purely at your convenience. You're the artist and I'm just a fan. :-D
--Neil
Immora, I love your minis. And you couldn't possibly be butting in on the drawing thread. There are always more requests than artists, and you are more than welcome to join in.

i agree witrh Lynora
its not a club of "we draw this". It just began as practice for 1 person and it has become a bit of practice for lot of people, and the joy of a lot many more... myself included...
and we comment becuse we like what you are doing :)
as Lynora says... there are more commisions than artist and time...
edit: anyway... you are now in the list :D

Please join! Is an open thread and everybody's welcome! The more the merrier, and your stuff is AWESOME!

I can help for bases!!! Go HERE!!
Just decide which type you want and the size (either 25 or 30 MM is the closest to 1" scale) click on it and a PDF file opens that you can print onto cardstock, cut out, and glue together for a base. (Glue a penny into the base for some weight if you want to.)Hope it helps and keep up the beautiful artwork!

Thanks Fake Healer. These are perfect! Up until now, I'd just been tracing the bases for Warmachine minis onto an index card, then coloring it with a black marker.
I'll post an action-shot from our game last night as soon as I figure out how to get photos off of a cell phone.

I finished up the last of the minis I'd be needing for "Seven Days to the Grave" today, so here's the rest of that set.
Seven Days to the Grave, Set #3: Everything you need to start your own Urgothoan Cult, including both of Lady Andaisin's forms
Seven Days to the Grave, Set #3.5: I couldn't get the Leukodaemon to fit on the card with all the other Urgathoan cult encounters, so he gets his own entry
Looks like I'll be starting on those minis for Edge of Anarchy earlier than I'd thought.

Immora, my method's similar to yours, but I've got a circle template I use for the bases (generally 7/8ths for a Medium character, 3/4 for a Small), and I do it on double-thick cardstock (same with the minis, BTW). Just leave a little tab on the bottom of your mini, score it with an X-acto, fold it back, color it with a marker, and glue to the base.
Regarding the One Monk bases: do you actually glue the extra base tab part in between the sandwiched-together mini? Or is it over the bottom of the mini?
Also, did they actually recommend glueing a penny onto the bases? Awww... that was my technique... (they kept falling off, though, so I gave it up).

You kinda would need to have a bit of empty space below the mini to glue the tabs to or it would obscure the mini's feet, but just leaving 3/16" of free space below the mini give you plenty of glue-able space to connect mini to base.
One monk has some free minis on their site that you could print out to see how they handle the extra space if you want to check it out. I like them and just so you know: I don't actually glue the pennies to the bases, I tape them on with either masking tape or duct tape and it holds for a damn long time.|

Hmm... good to know. We've been making a tab at the bottom of the mini for single-siders, though since people seem to really want double-siders, we were making a tab on both sides that you fold down onto the base. I don't know if I like the mini looking like it's floating (unless the mini is actually floating), but if people don't mind that, it might not be a bad idea. It'd work better for Immora's pieces, methinks, since they're not standing with their feet flat on the ground, and it'd be a shame to lose any part of the art.
Guess best way is to experiment and see what works.
Oh, and /end threadjack. :P

What sort of art supplies and editing software do you use? The cleanliness of your lines is incredible.
I almost always use Col-Erase pencils for the sketching (blue if I plan on inking it, but sometimes red or green if I'm just doodling). They've got a lot of wax in them and glide and shade really nicely. When I'm inking these, I'm just using a fine-tip sharpie for most of it, and a Micron .02 pen for the very tiny details.
I use Photoshop to do all my scanning and cleanup. The secret to the super-clean lines is just that I draw the originals about 3 inches tall, then reduce them down in the computer.
I LOVE ALL THE DRAWINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If my PC saw it, they where not in the same state of mind, but it so FUN!!!!
If I have some talent I would like to draw my PCs but I can't but it's cool!

Heh, I do 'em double-sized myself, though I may try triple-sized sometime. I did the Sharpie thing for quite a while, too, since they were free at work (if you, y'know, "borrow" them). Interesting pen combo, though.

So you are Crystal! Most intresting :D Looking forward to see your Blog projects!!!
I must again say I love your style!!! ^w^
Immora, I don't suppose you made any amazing illustrations like these for Rise of the Runelords, did you? I am desperate for some stone giants for PF#4, but I can't afford that many large figs.... :(

Oh! Very nice! I just started running Edge of Anarchy with my group - hopefully I'll be able to use some of your figures in a few sessions (my PCs will be doing All the World's Meat and maybe Eel's End this week).
Great great great work! Really. My English is just too bad to express what mean with "great". Just THE way to go. I really like everything about your art Immora!

I would really love to take a swing at the RotRL stone giants; they gave our party a real run for our money. But right now I'm just focusing on CotCT with my spare time. Most of my time is going towards maintaining and repairing the house and job-hunting.
On the other hand, if you'd like to PM me and talk about a private commission, I could justify to myself taking the extra time to make them. It would probably be pretty cheap, too.

We'll see if I get time to get to more "Edge of Anarchy" minis in the next few days. Davaulus in particular will be a hoot, I think :)

Thank you so much, Aureus. I was worrying that people wouldn't like them much; my style is pretty cartoony. I'm very happy to be proven wrong.
I'm reading "Skeletons of Scarwall" right now, and the encounters in there are going to be amazingly good. Nothing like quality writing to get the artistic juices flowing.
Thank you to everyone for your encouragement.

Wow. If Paizo ever produces a Pathfinder starter set BECMI-style (boxed! pretty pleeaaseeee!!), Immora's illos would be TEH AWESOME.
I hate to say it N'wah, but her animals are better than your.
OMG! How the Hell did I miss this! These are AWESOME! I love, love, love your art style - it kind of reminds me of Phil Foglio's stuff. I'm totally printing out a few of these, Ramoska and the Plague Doctors NEED to live in my cube. Keep up the incredible work Immora!

I hate to say it N'wah, but her animals are better than your.Can't argue with that. Aside from cartoony dogs or something, I've got barely more than zero experience with drawing most animals. A beast of eyes and tentacles is fine, but if it's gotta look like a natural animal, I'm screwed. :P
Eh. It's just an issue of referrence material. Google Images is awesome for cartoonists and illustrators.

Sorry for the delayed reply, Immora. I would like to look into the commission idea, if you have the time.
Should I contact you through ClockworkAmazon.com?

Believe me, I'm on the Google Images like beans on rice. I'm just terrible with animals, is all. Sometimes they turn out okay, but a lot of quadrupedal mammals give me loads of trouble (I hate horses in general, so drawing them is extra-difficult).
So, yeah. Until I get some more practice, I'll leave most animals to you. :P

You know, Wes, I only live a mile or two from the Paizo office. I could bring you a Ramoska mini and a few Queen's Physicians (and maybe even something special) in a blatant attempt to get that warehouse job I applied for :)

This week has been strange and hectic, and now the stock from an entire game store is living in my ground floor.
Still, I managed to get a little bit of drawing done:
Edge of Anarchy - Set 2: This one features the renegade guards wholed up in a butcher shop, along with the boars and reefclaws that help make everything that much harder. I'm really unhappy at the reefclaw I did, and will probably take another stab at it soon.
