Description
(Bug Comic) (Same morning, but later, as
Rain at 4 AM )
Since Rain has decided he's going to leave the farm and go to college, he's going to clean out whatever bug nests are close to the farm. He doesn't want to leave bug hunting up to his little brother Leaf in Summer (here, looking like a pyromaniac version of Cupid) and his cousin Randall, the amiable goof holding the butane lighter and the pitchfork. They are about 5 minutes hike from the lowest pasture of the farm, to a tilted rock overlooking the local swamp. Rain can smell bugs, probably under the huge tilted rock he's standing on, and the plan is to light the mass of driftwood under the edge of the rock, smoke out the bugs, and as they run off towards the swamp, Rain will pick them off with the plasma rifle.
Rain has some hillbilly safety equipment in the form of a reinforced spooling measuring tape run through his belt loops and shirt and over to a tree-- his traction boots will keep him on the rock, but since his weight is mostly in his shoulders, he wants the tape for balance, and the spool will keep the tape out of his way. He wouldn't take his shirt off in front of anyone but his brother and cousin--he's very self-conscious about the scar across his ribs. He didn't get it from bugs, but from an incident he's not very proud of.

In case you are wondering, Leaf looks much more like his father than his Aer mother; only at certain angles can you see his eyes have some of the reflective look of the Aer. He doesn't have any IR vision to speak of. Randall is just your regular human guy, though he's a genius with horses, if nothing else;)
ElorOnceDark made that fabulous gun and the "tape" holder (it's a gun holster), on Daz, part of ArtemisX set for V3

This looks like it's going to go in one of only two directions. Either it's all going to work as planned, or something very bad is about to happen. Mixing farm boys, powered rifles, pitchforks and butane lighters, I'm ducking for this one. Great image as always m'lady.

First off, you know I love your work and your style. The way you just paint what you need and make it part of the scene is mind boggling. The amount of detail and thought you put into each creation is to be commended. This image is no exception, but I do have one critique if that is okay? And this may be your intention, it may not, but it seems to me that the three gentlemen above lack expression. That's the only thing I can see out of place. Love your stuff!

Nice image, as all others in this story... And introducing a little brother of Rain into the story - i'm very agog to see how the story will develop... Btw - these little brother is nice too... Hope the relation between the siblings is good... Engaging a insect plague (like the locust swarms in australia) is a problematic thing... And with fire a most problematic... We in middle europe are in a comparatively convenient situation - the biggest plagues of bugs are bark beetle or colorado beetles, absolutely managable by chemistry. ------------------------------ Ah - i like the story more and more...

i really can't believe you did this in Poser. this is really good outdoor illustration. i can see the 3d aspects of some of the foliage, which makes it even more impressive, in my eyes. you've got a very even balance of 3d and 2d in this one. it all feels very integrated. the marks you give the Rain and other characters helps give them history, as well as bring danger and tension to bug-fighting scenes. i feel really daft, but what is that structure behind Rain? it has so many perfect spheres and cylinders, but a texture like dirt or mud or severe rust that it makes me really curious. and just to say, i think you did an excellent job on the rock. it stands out from the surrounding greenery very naturally. i really like Rain and his family. i hope we see more of them in the future.

Amazingly I missed this episode!! But I'm commenting now!! His brother leaf not looking like him is kind of surprising. But I guess someone has to look like the father. Your cliff he is perched on is superb!!
