This was a quick insomnia sketch after reading out of C.S. Lewis’ Dawn Treader to the kids.
C.S. Lewis’ Dufflepuds From the Dawn Treader
Old Master’s Study: Digital Paint
It’s been awhile since I studied an old Master Painter. While I didn’t finalize this painting, it was still a valuable exercise.
Concept Art Study: Assassin’s Creed Concept Art Book
It’s been awhile since I did a concept art study. This was a fun one.
Blodhgarm from Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance
The Making Of Verilog The Shade
From Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance
The Inheritance Cycle Lethrblaka Concept
The Lethrblaka: another Christopher Paolini, Inheritance Cycle creature concept. I’m happy with the creepiness of this one.
Digital Engraving Attempt
All I can say is that I would need to discover better techniques to truly get anywhere close to a Gustave Doré engraving. A useful exercise, nonetheless!
Urgal Garzhvog From Inheritance Cycle
Imaginary digital painting from Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle: I just started painting to experiment with different brushes after listening to Brisingr.
Christmas in July!
I traditionally create a custom Christmas card for my clients – but am always racing the calendar to get it done in time. Not this year! Here’s a first sketch of a possible direction I’m thinking about.
Shiloh’s Chomey Noy
After seeing the Hexwing I drew for Brielle, Shiloh asked if I’d draw her invented creature, Chomey Noy. She invented this word when she was four and it makes me smile! She says it’s like a dragon and a puppy, and can morph into any other animal, but it has a base form, which is what I’ve illustrated here.
I’m also posting the quick ink sketch I did in my journal, which I used as a reference on my iPad. This style is very much like a three color wood cut. My old printmaking degree comes in handy often…thanks Jim Jereb:)
