Book of the Geomancer OA

[X-O HoboJoe]

Found these while looking for stuff to get rid of on the HD: They're pic's I did for a Book of the Geomancers that now looks like it wont be finished.

So, I hope you enjoy:

[dellamorte]

Stu, those are great. I'd love to see you finish whatever it was you were gonna do.

[jedimarley]

Great stuff.

How about a Geomancers Print set?

[Elveen]

Wow, sweet, you drew all that?

2 questions...

#1) are all of the pics of geomancers actually seen in the pages of VALIANT books?

#2) Did I miss the bagh nakh (spelled right?)?

Cool stuff Hobo.

No reason to abandon any great projects. I'll PM you.

So, I hope you enjoy:

Yes, very nice.

1) are all of the pics of geomancers actually seen in the pages of VALIANT books?

I would say so. Without being able to place all of them exactly, they all look familiar to me.

There are a lot of Geomancers. Here's an incomplete list I made about 10 years ago:
~3400 BC-3366 BC: Khanit first geomancer [Geo 7, 8]
3366 BC-3352 BC>: Valurr first geomancer as we know them now [Geo 3, 7, 8]
3250?3225 BC: Talk of possible geomancer in Anatolia (date uncertain) [E.W. 37]
3210?3185 BC: Unnamed geomancer in Mesopotamia (date uncertain) [E.W. 1]
<326-324 BC: Hephaestion guiding Alexander in India, died in Ecbatana [E.W. 23, Geo 4]
324 BC>: Khandania [E.W. 23, Geo 4]
<210 BC>: Li-Sung [E.W. 4]
<12 BC>: Gandhyrras [E.W. 6]
<29>: Jared Sahin [E.W. 17, 18]
<79>: Unnamed geomancer in Abu Simbel [E.W. 12]
<408>: Zenoba [X-O Yearbook 1]
<~550>: Nimue [E.W. 31]
<970>: Unnamed geomancer in Rome [E.W. 13]
<1132-1192: Tashi Khatun [E.W. 9, Geo 1]
1192-1197: No geomancer
1197>: Kozo Tokimasa [E.W. 27]
<1320: Arani [E.W. 28]
1320>: Sahbel [E.W. 22, 28]
<1429-1431: Joan the Maid [Geo 5]
<1661>: Duchess Angelique D'Terre [A&A 8]
<1695-1716>: Unnamed boy [E.W. Yearbook 2]
<1720>: Native American [E.W. 46]
1836>: A Cherokee (it is possible that his mother was a geomancer too) [Geo 6]
<1844>: Unnamed geomancer near Afghanistan [E.W. 47]
<1888: A geomancer named Buck [E.W. 34]
1889-1992: Buck McHenry (died 1993) [E.W. 7, Solar 10]
1992-1994: Geoff McHenry [Solar 10, Chaos Omega]
1994>: Clay McHenry [Geo 1]
<1999-2062: Geoff McHenry again [Rai 0]
2062>: Lucinda Mendez (in training since 2056) [Rai 0, Timewalker 6, 7, 8]
<2900>: Yuri Pierce [Rai 0, Timewalker 8 (with wrong year listed)]
<3002>: Unnamed geomancer resembling Geoff [Solar 12]
<~3998: Ana Kawainui [Magnus 15]
~3998-4020: Rokland Tate [Magnus 15, 43]
4020>: Armstrong [Magnus 46]

Magnus 14 shows three possibly unidentified geomancers: One dark-skinned, one Pilgrim-looking and one Indian. At least the Pilgrim is not in the list above and would likely be from the 17th century. It has been mentioned that the Indian could have been intended to be Andar.

Geomancer 1 possibly shows one unidentified geomancer. Or it could be the failed geomancer from E.W. Yearbook 1.

There are several cases of Geomancers in training that have not became Geomancers.

All nicely done. Love that Hobo art.

[Brother J]

Wow, great stuff..how much for a commission, Hobo?

Magnus is the king of VALIANT know how as far as I'm concerned!

[jedimarley]

Wow, great stuff..how much for a commission, Hobo?

Now THAT is an answer to a question, wow!

Mag. is now the official "VALIANT answer man". (if he wasn't before )

I just love cataloging information.

Ah, memories. I was once before. Long ago. In the old Valiant Fan Club newsletter, I did help out a little bit, and that was my exact "title".

[k_c_collectibles]

Nice stuff Stu! I heard about the project, but had only seen one of the pieces of your work. The one I was emailed a while ago was the one that looks like Will Smith from Men in Black with Darque behind him.

They are all very cool! I hope you and Magnus can finish off the project - maybe with some assistance from other people who can help out.

I have a copy of the book of the Geomancer that I received from Steve a while ago - the 2nd printing - and I thought it would be a nice project to have a full color version done.

Thanks for sharing!

Book of the Geomancer? Awesome stuff, what was it going to be?

Can always find something cool when doing thread archaeology on this site.
