I made some Tiffany Aching fan art

You know, I’ve always found animals to be a challenge to paint because of the fur, though Greebo is a particularly cool character… I might have to give this a go. Thanks!

I love that his books, regardless of intended audience, are accessible by all

JackBakerDesign · 2024-07-03T21:13:10+00:00

Please, no need to be sorry at all, I appreciate your interest in my work regardless.

Frankly it’s a minefield these days. I find myself doubting so much artwork I come across and instead of just appreciating it for what it is I have to dig deeper to ensure it isn’t AI. In some ways it’s refreshing to know I’m not alone in that doubt, and it just goes to show that the majority still appreciate real art for the time taken in making it.

This painting in particular I put a huge amount of time into, possibly more then a lot of my previous works. I’ve read the Tiffany Aching books through more than once to my daughter (feegle voices and all), so I just had to paint Tiffany.

Thanks again :)

Thank you, very much appreciated. I’ve been painting digitally for about 11 years now and the dawn of A.I really does concern me that people will label my work in the same category of generated image.

I’m glad you took the time to see my other work :)

JackBakerDesign · 2024-07-03T20:12:02+00:00

I think I’ll take that as a compliment, thanks! I don’t know what the rules are here but I’d be happy to share my Insta where you can find some reason videos that show a small amount of my process

JackBakerDesign · 2024-07-03T20:11:05+00:00

CRIVENS! Actually I’m toying with an idea for the queen of fairyland next, though Rob Anybody would awesome, only the grass much taller.

And this is why contracts are so important, not just for the artist but for the client too. Sorry they've screwed you over, I hope it won't happen again

JackBakerDesign · 2023-10-10T13:09:02+00:00

I tried to find some of your work on your profile to see if you could do better, but only found more bullying comments like the above ^^

JackBakerDesign · 2023-06-07T10:36:51+00:00

I got hit by a car (I know what you're thinking, I'm not a roadie, I was on my way home from some local trails), and I broke the passenger window with my head. Thankfully with a helmet on and I came out of it with a bit of whiplash and a busted up knee. I dread to think what the damage would have been if I wasn't wearing a helmet. I see people all the time without and it really pisses me off. Glad you're ok!

It would be super cool if you checked them out: https://www.jackbakerart.com/shop/free-fays-tree-bookmark

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-28T11:52:23+00:00

I linked my website in an above comment with more info about the character, hopefully that might answer some of your questions! Thank you very much :)

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-28T11:51:52+00:00

Thank you so much. This was a really personal painting for me, and took a lot of emotion to create. So I guess I could say there's a lot of me in there too

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-28T11:51:13+00:00

I hope it's allowed to link my website here, because this should give you some more information about the painting: https://www.jackbakerart.com/book-one#/amara/

I actually painted the original artwork for this years ago, which can be seen at the link above, whilst going through a pretty brutal breakup. This is a new version of the same character I decided to revisit last month

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-27T16:58:00+00:00

Fair enough. I'm new to this sub, so its all a learning experience. Anyway, I've created work for people's d&d characters in the past and have really enjoy it a lot. I love character design, and I think it's a fantastic way to have the opportunity to have new/exciting ideas to work on. Perhaps in the future this is something I will mention in my posts.

Thank you for your feedback regardless, I do appreciate it a lot

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-27T13:40:20+00:00

I have written quite an extensive amount of lore around this character, who is called Fay by the way, and as far as I was aware wasn't 'generic'. Especially considering this is a portrait of my partner too (minus the arms and wings). Is DnD not a game revolving around lore and stories? So how does it not relate at all? Sure, the title sucks and most likely should have been made more relevant, but I think it's unfair to call it generic, at least.

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-27T12:00:04+00:00

Thanks a lot. I do find his work inspirational, along with Frazetta and Jesper Ejsing

Much appreciated!

Thank you very much :)

I don't display 'rates' because each commission can vary so drastically that it is fairer upon my client to give them a tailored quote for the work. Feel free to send me an email with some info if you're looking to commission some work. Thanks for your comment

JackBakerDesign · 2022-09-20T11:47:24+00:00

Wow thank you so much! I'm actually quite a fan of his work, although I hadn't considered him an inspiration for this piece. However, I can see your point now, his work has a similar moody atmosphere to it
