Hi,
Long time no post! I added five new covers to the pre-made covers gallery here.

This was a commission from J.M Butler for her book series, the Tue-Rah Chronicles.
This painting features Amelia and Naatos, the two main characters. This was also done a while back and there's another commission which is more recent - but I'll upload that on a later date.

A commission for Ilona Andrews featuring Jack and George, two characters from The Edge series. I'm actually surprised I finished this one in a timely manner as I was working on another project at the time. Multi-tasking is not my strong suit :p
I made a decently clean sketch before starting the painting process, which I usually skip nowadays.

Another interior art from the Innkeeper/Maud novella: this time it's Ilemina who wears a very familiar-looking armor π§ Hmm, I wonder why.
This was an armor design that I had a lot of fun with. Since she's a pretty big deal I had to design an armor set that looked very distinct. Also, because they're a vampire race I initially wanted the painting to look reminiscent of an old film, with a Disanthushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789905667203239678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152977217214603227.post-3892503161351263012021-03-22T09:20:00.007-07:002021-03-22T10:09:18.002-07:00Arland: Innkeeper novella
Interior art of Arland featured in the Maud novella (Innkeeper universe) written by Ilona Andrews. I was able to paint the full armor this time! I was allowed to slightly change the look of the original design I painted, including the material.
The original armor design was more medieval compared to the updated version, which looks more fluid.

I uploaded a new cover art in the pre-made gallery here.
This was painted in Photoshop and I had a lot of fun with this one, though it turned out darker (color-wise) than I initially planned. The theme is supposed to be the sun and the moon, with an emphasis on the sun. At one point I wanted to add some fancy banner-like things but it looked like clutter instead -_-;

It's been a while! I've been working on commissions mostly so I haven't done a lot of personal artworks in a while. In the next few days I'll be uploading some of the stuff I worked on for several clients, although I can't show you all the work as some stuff hasn't been published by the author yet.

Just a quick update: I recently added a pre-made covers gallery here. I'm currently working on a FAQ page for it, so I hope to add it soon.
As you can probably tell from the image above, it's a new painting I made for a pre-made cover. I've been binge-watching Boku No Hero Academia and, believe it or not, this was inspired by one of the characters π

This is a painted cover that I recently finished for an author. The commission was for a full cover, including a spine and back cover. Since the book isn't published yet I can only show the cropped version of the front cover.

It's done! It's finally done! I have finally managed to finish this Derek painting. It's been years in the making. I'm not even kidding: the first sketch was done around 2013.
The original idea was supposed to be the character we meet for the first time in the Kate Daniels book. When I decided to actually start painting him late last year, I felt it was more appropriate to paint the older Disanthushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789905667203239678noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152977217214603227.post-31265199379136000152014-05-17T05:23:00.000-07:002014-05-17T06:39:06.890-07:00Zaeed Massani
So here is another of my Mass Effect fan art - a head portrait of Zaeed Massani :) Like the other pieces, I drew this with pencils and later coloured it in Photoshop. Some 'work in progress' photos below:

I've added a new painting to my dA gallery, the second in the Clean Sweep series. This one was was painted in a fairly short amount of time, so I didn't save that many progress images, something I usually do a lot because I'm paranoid that Photoshop is going to crash on me.

Not everything is in place yet but they're relatively minor things that still need to be done. We'll keep working on the site, but nothing should fall apart anytime soon ^^;

So ... I totally forgot to make this post for my Kate Six painting. I only remembered to do this when I burned the entire folder on DVD (2,4 GB by the by) and came across my WiP images.

Last year, I made a Jack fan art entitled βWishβ. This post is about the drawing of the artwork :)
For those who don't know... I'm a HUGE fan of Jack! I think she's a very interesting character and definitely my favourite from the Mass Effect games. Jack was, of course, voiced by the talented and equally awesome Courtenay Taylor, who I'm also a big fan of.

Updated my deviantArt gallery with a new painting that was finished about a week ago. Since I was starting on a new Connor Kenway (AC3) painting I wanted to wait before uploading it, thinking I might add/change some things but I liked it the way it was :)The painting is titled Metallic Fancy because initially her top was supposed to be metallic-looking - though it still is, I suppose.

Stabby McConnor
It's been a while since I actually sketched anything, and after viewing the Assassin's Creed 3 trailers and footage, I had no choice in the matter. I haven't been this excited about a game since AC2! Most of the time I do a very rough sketch in Photoshop before I start painting because I do tend to change things a lot during the painting process.
