But today my brain wouldn’t leave me alone till I did fan art for my books whose IP is currently not mine. Yeah, it would make a great cover, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, I’m in late-stage showing people my drawings. Who knows? Maybe you’ll put it on the fridge…..
UPDATE: Nat’s face was just WRONG. So I went in and fixed things. Bonus, you can now see that he’s keeping an eye on the madman next to him (and he not wrong. He’s a manicac but he’s the saneish one in that association.)
Because some comments would otherwise be incomprehensible, I’m keeping the original (smaller) underneath.

They’re NOT projectile weapons. Per book.

I hope those guns don’t have much in the way of recoil, or followup shots are going to hit the ceiling.

Sigh. They are burners. Not laser, but something like.

Good trigger discipline, both of ’em.

I’m redoing-re-rendering in the background because one of the faces was completely wrong, and it wouldn’t let me not fix. After this, I’ll leave it alone though. (Yes, I develop weird ticks when stressed.)
LikeLike
Oh, that’s much more Nat-looking!
(Btw, I didn’t mean the Perfect Tommy thing as a crack. But it’s amazing how much the face/eye expression makes it not-Perfect-Tommy. Perfect Tommy doesn’t deign to notice things.)
I think that’s one of the fun things about sf/fantasy art — people often have very speaking expressions, whereas a lot of museum-type-art… doesn’t. Or the expressions are very subtle.

Well, I changed with a completely different character (though it’s similar.) The other one I couldn’t get the EYES to show.
OH, Nat is IMMACULATE. It’s part of his schtick. Because he knows if he loses control things will get ugly. So I got the Perfect Tommy thing.
Anyway, it bugged me till I changed it.

Through Fire, is it? I hadn’t recognized the scene.
I don’t want to be body-shaming anybody but somebody (and I don’t mean Nat) might want to lose some weight and spend time on the exercycle. Even in a military tunic and scowling, man-boobs do not inspire submission.

You’re right, Nat looks half asleep in the bottom picture. Not what you’d expect from somebody preparing for a shootout.

It’s the model. I couldn’t get his eyes open. Which was annoying.
