Bas Lag Art

[Venasque]

I posted these links under the 'Introduce Yourself' board, but I figured I'd make a new thread, in hopes of not being spammed out
I'm an artist, and have been very inspired by Mieville's Bas Lag series. I've illustrated many of his characters and races for my own amusement...his work is a mind-bogglingly original and as yet relatively untapped resource, it's a thrill to attempt to depict things that have not yet been illustrated. My online gallery is up on elfwood, here:
elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/n/i/nickspacekole/nickspacekole.html
please, feel free to look around and comment.
to start, here's an illustration I did of the Cray huntsman from the beginning of 'The Scar':

and here's an early attempt at drawing Cactacae:

There's quite a few more illustrations and I'm always doing more. I would love to hear any feedback from anyone on this board, drop me a line!
;D

I did - now I'm waiting for your reply

Anyhow, you've got some great stuff. BUT I find a lot of it has people that are too pretty. Especially the Cactacae. They're too symmetrical compared to how I imagined them.

I think you've nailed it, mate.
Amazing how we can be inspired to create when we see true creativity.
Thankyou, Nick!

Couldn't find your link at first so I started a new one. I found this today, so let's add it to the fan-art thread!
