The Elderlimb!

This is the drawing for what would become "Elderlimb" for set 17 of the World of Warcraft TCG.  Treants, treefolk, tree-people, whatever they are, they're always fun to draw.  Always.  Should there ever be a day when it is no longer fun to draw anthropomorphized trees, that will be the day I hang it up.  And then probably hang myself since, obviously, I have been taken over by nano-parasites and therefore have become a threat to humanity.

Be that as it may, I had fun with the tree guy and the painting didn't come out half bad either.  As with most Warcraft art, I got to muck around with gaudy colors and see what happens.  Go take a look at the final piece on my draw-blog's sister site: Prescott Art Blog for an eyeful!

Also, because I have to drop tiny little reminders every once in a while, if you're new to this site and/or new to my pencil drawings and you like what you see, perhaps your interest would propel you to buy one of my books: AGGREGATE: The Art of Steve Prescott.  Contact me at steve2@rottface.com if you're interested!

Throwin' a bone.

Ugh, what a holiday season it was for me. I say "ugh" not as in it sucked but as in it was just a whole heck of a lot of work. Including non-freelance job projects, I had creative work going on right up until when i went to bed at 3:00 am Christmas eve!

Here's my laundry list of projects that I started and finished in the uncomfortably snug span of hours between Thanksgiving and Christmas:

*One D&D cover (and a none-too-easy one at that)

*Three Magic:The Gathering card paintings

*Five fairly intensive black-n-white pieces for an undisclosed M:tG project

*Scanned and laid out a book of my daughter's artwork (through Blurb.com) as a present for my wife

*Illustrated and designed a custom beer label

*Made an exotic tent-fort for my daughter for Christmas (with help from my wife's parents)

Somewhere in that mess I was able to go to a couple parties, drive to Cleveland to see Chris Cornell in concert, and get a few hours of sleep. Christmas day came along and I found I had no looming deadlines and nothing of immediate concern - what a joy to just be with my family and eat and not frazzle myself with the thought that "I need to get a certain amount of this or that done by the time I go to bed later than I should."

So goes the life of a freelancer, eh? It's all good though. All the projects were fun and worth it. I just wish there were like two more weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas is all!

So, as you can now see, squeezing in a draw-blog post was pretty far down my list of priorities for the past four or five weeks. Things have settled down now - but I find that I have a tremendous lack of anything worthwhile to post right now. No new sketchbook doodles and no preliminary drawings worth sharing. I had to go back dig up this (2.5 year old?) piece - a sketch I liked because of how snaky the girl's pose is and her accidentally cute profile. The painting turned out to be a mess though. So, here's a bone I'm throwing out until something better comes along.

Speaking of something better, I'm eyeing another guess-the-album-cover contest on the horizon. Aw yeah.

ANGRY TROLL LADY KILLS 8 TOURISTS AT ANCIENT RUIN SITE

"There's a really angry blue woman mutilating some tourists!" said Marcus Antanapala to the emergency dispatcher. He made the call after a bluish, tusked woman with ridiculous cleavage erupted from a ruin site and rained terrific clawed blows down upon the idiotic onlookers as they attempted to take pictures with their cell phones.

"Does she have tusks, armor protecting her knees and forearms, a fairly big rack, and is exuding a sense of total 'Grrrrawesomeness'?" asked the dispatcher.

"Um yeah. How'd you know?"

"OK, sir. She's a female troll from World of Warcraft. I'll send a black-n-white to check into it. Have a nice day, sir."
