So what does it take to get a drawing or five done?

Depends on what you want drawn, and how much you'd like to pay for it. :)

Hmmmmm...maybe in the future...I'm thinking of pictures for my site. But my financial picture will have to get much better before I can hire an artist.

Definitely nice work!

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliments.


I don't charge much. hell, i've even taken things as trade for payment.

Really nice pics :D

May I use some of your pics in my game?

That's nice to know as it seems that Both Pauls on the forum are low on expendable cash right now.

Hi, my names Paul and I'm skint too :-D

make that all three of us then.

If i get the money then i would love to get an Image of a Mossberg toting CavScout and His Redheaded Russian Deserter companion.

Please note that I do take things in trade if someone doesn't have money... I have gone to gamer cons and events and put up a sign saying "will draw for food, gaming materials or money"...


Sure... just as long as i get credit for my work I don't mind. :)

I have friends of mine from when i was in the navy who still use my artwork to illustrate their characters. And that was twenty years ago.

Damn... twenty years.... it doesn't feel that long ago. It really makes me feel like an old broken down... well, you get the idea.

But back on track... money isn't the only thing i take in payment for my art. So don't worry if you're as skint as me ($1170.00 a month VA disability only goes so far you know).

Very nice work, indeed. What an investment of time and effort!

Wow Webstral. thank you for the compliment.

LTC Mackenzie Cahill (yes, she's the daughter of the Sheriff in the picture above), a female officer who started out her career in the Army working Military Intelligence but has found herself leading a 'battalion' of troops who made the breakout from Kalisz. Her callsign use to be 'Hardbody'... but now it's 'Hardcore Six' because, well... she's sexy as hell, but still hardcore about getting everyone back home.

Cool work - you are gifted.
Sometimes i see drawings in rpg-publications, and asked myself "why to hell did they hire THAT artist?" (Like the ones they used for the early TNE-books - just my opinion, never liked the illustrations there).
They should have hired you, instead. But besides the option of making money with that talent, i am sure its pretty satisfying to look at your work, once you finished, huh ? Keep it up!

Believe it or not... my artwork will be in the new edition of the Morrow Project RPG that's coming out around the end of this year. It's in layouts, and only needing my artwork to finish it. So i'm drawing all kinds of people pictures to illustrate it. And most of my pics for it can be used for Morrow Project and Twilight 2000 type characters. :)

I was doing the layouts, but unfortunately my desktop computer died and all the work i had done on the layouts was lost... but the guys putting things together said not to worry about it since I was having problems with my computer working with the program they were using, and had someone who was doing a faster job of layouts than i was. Just to focus on the artwork.

I'm also trying to draw gear pictures... but for some reason, that takes alot longer than people pictures for me to draw.

Very cool Nate. The coloring gives me a bit of a "GI Joe" feel....which puts it even closer to my heart :D

Sure, i do believe that! Congrats, pal! Your art deserves to be put in a professional book. Looking forward to buy it - i did not read much of the Morrow-Project yet, but i will now.
Please remind us in this forum, when it comes out.

I like the British para pic, humping the bergen.

A friend got me a picture of a couple soldiers wearing bergens... and i was able to use it as a reference for one ofthe guys in my old groups character.

wow... i was hoping everyone would like the work i'm doing on making a new version of the original boxe set cover...

Since the Falklands war the bergen is pretty much the iconic symbol of the parachute regiment and their determination to do what it takes, regardless of situation.

The plan was for the paras to deploy via helicopter in an airbourne role, similar to the US air-mobile units. the ship that carried most of the transport helicopters was attacked by the argentines using exorcet missles and most of the helicopters where lost so the Paras loaded everything they needed in the Bergens and marched from one side of the falklands to the other.

Impressive as always Nate.

For the above character pics what size to do draw them generally. The detail you get is incredible and I was wondering how much it is reduced in size.

i normally use 8 1/2" x 11" stationary type paper. it's the same touch and feel as the expensive sketch paper... and comes in at a very, very cheaper cost.

And i have gotten my hands on .005 and .03 art pens that allows me to do even sharper detail work. :)

i'm working on a cover for the V1 box cover... i posted the first part (the Humvee) that is going to be in the background. and I am working on the characters who will be in the foreground... planning on using the look of some of the characters whom are on the v2 cover for a couple of them.

When i do the Merc 2000 cover artwork, i'll post them here too. :)

That is interesting. I have had a love hate relationship with my old refillable rapidographs and have not done much serious drawing since the newer disposables with finer points have come out. Any brand recommendations?

I also just now found out that 0.2mm mechanical pencil lead is available on the internet. I gave up searching for that 15 years ago. Maybe with these new facts I might start drawing again.

i got some primsacolor artpens thta are great. :)my sister got them for me. and theyve allowed me to do allkinds of good details.

Whose party is she in? Lucky devils...

Your work is commendable, Nate. I wish I could render my ideas this way.

The last picture (the black haired beauty in the nearly transparent shirt) would be the embedded journalist form our campaign...

Angylina Sharareh Teymūrtāsh of the WBN (Westinghouse Broadcasting Network) News Channel. She's Persian-American who's 'stage name' is "Anglyina Sharareh"... who is one of the four field correspondents in the European theather who make up the lineup for the "On the Frontline with..." news show.

the picture above is her after she stopped being self-concious. because she started out wearing alot to cover her body (inculding head scarf), but after Kalisz she slowly started to become more open.

Pierce Brosnan? I've got news for you -- Roger Moore was the best Bond!

((Thanks to a total cockbite grammer nazi I went in and corrected honest spelling mistakes))

Brosnan captured the best aspects of Connery and Moore... and if they would have let him make the last two movies that they were going to have him do, i think he would have nailed the role. Connery and Moore both liked his time as Bond. :)

Of course they say Dalton was a good Bond, but I never really took to him in the role. He was the placeholder for Brosnan thanks to the BS going on with Remington Steele (they canncellled the show and had told Brosnan he could have the role, then reniged at the last minute).

I love Connery and Moore as Bond.

The three of them make the best James Bond. :D

it was just the fact that Brosnan was in the right age frame for the Bond in my universe.
