Whispers of Death

I wasn't sure I'd make it, but here's my finished piece for the Diablo 3 contest on dA! Had a ton of fun with this one and am quite pleased with the outcome. The wizard's armor was a blast to paint, haha.

More Game of Thrones!

 Here's some more work I did for the new Night's Watch handbook for the Game of Thrones RPG!

This first one is Ser Waymar Royce facing off against a white walker, this one is probably one of my favorites of the set! The translucency effects were a blast.

This one is of Harma and Rattleshirt, a couple notable wildlings, getting in to some territorial shouting matches. :P

And lastly a character lineup of some of the new characters in the expansion! The Defeated Sellsword, the Spearwife and the War Leader.

I've also been doing a bunch of figure studies to get my draftsmanship game up. Practice practice! 

Aliens, portraits and a gypsy

My my, November already! Next thing you know it it'll be December and the world will end, just when I finally learned to tap-dance too! (I do not know how to tap dance)

Oh well, here's some artwork to look at instead. The first is a commission for a friend on dA, had a lot of fun with the slimy skin on that one! The second is a portrait I started for practice but it ended up getting a little more finished. I don't think I'm quite done with it yet, still have some things  to touch up and tweak, but it might be a while before I get to it.

Then these two are some photo studies; the left one is a friend of mine who made a super awesome costume that I just had to paint, and the portraits are studies of some famous people and a random lady from google, need to keep working on my portraiture. If you can guess them all you'll get a private tap-dance lesson! (You will not get a private tap-dance lesson)

And that's it for now, thanks for looking and happy Thanksgiving! :)

Ponies, Purification and Studies

Yikes, been a while since my last update! Alas, but here is some stuff regardless!

These first couple are some recent finished works; the cultist burning one for a client on dA and the merpony the result of a hilarious bet/dare/collab between me and another artist. She did the drawing and I painted it. Needless to say, my little pony + mermaid = win.

Then these here are just a couple studies, the first to try and practice more deliberate markmaking and lost edges, and the second to get a feel for drawing birds which I'll be using in a future piece.

And lastly here's a bundle of sketches, these are mostly studies from photos. I'm trying to better understand costuming and design and also improve my line quality; killing two birds with one stone! These are also a ton of fun to do, and don't take much time, so I think I'm gonna start making it a point to do these daily, cause I can already see them improving my work. Fun fun!

 And that's all for now, thanks for looking! More to come soon!

Well of Souls

Here's a piece done for our illustration class as well as the Diablo 3 Portrait of a Champion art contest.

Had a ton of fun working on this and I think it's a benchmark for my work in terms of complexity!

Will post up a walkthrough soon.

Cheers!

Pyromancer

Da trees, da trees, da trees are on fire!

Been sitting on this one for a while, finally got some time to polish it off and clean up the last few things it needed to finish it.
It was an assignment for our Illustration class, where we did faux magic cards.

Pretty happy with how this turned out overall, though I definitely see some areas I went wrong and where I would do things differently next time, feeling some breakthroughs coming in my work. :)

Hope ya dig!
