Mermaid bookmark

I printed and laminated a couple of bookmarks for the upcoming fantasy convention Istrakon I'll be attending this weekend.

Swamp WIP

Here's a work-in-progress of a painting I did today: pencil sketch, speedpaint, a little more detail and the finished image.

A larger view of the finished work may be seen here.

Holidays. Yay.

Greeting card

moth man

Character concept for an image I'm currently working on. I know the wings are more like a butterfly than a moth, but that's not the point, if there is one at all.
He looks like a Gray :/

P.S. it's finished. Turned out less alien-like, more elfish.

Dragons colored

I'm working on a design where I'll be using one of my drawings. I colored the dragons sketch you could've seen here.

wasted work vol. 1

Sadly, some of the stuff I work my ass of for never goes through. This junk is scattered all over my disk, so I decided to share a few.

Hey vanity... I

I bought a new tablet today, Wacom intuos3 (A4). It's huge, it can't fit on my desktop, and it took me a while to get used to this size (my old Genius was A6). The feeling is quite different.
My drawing skills haven't improved, though :D

This is the first time I tried to draw my entire face, actually. Referenced from a mirror. It took about an hour.

Father Cedrik WIP

I made a fan art for Zoran, writer of Izvršitelji nauma Gospodnjeg (literal translation: Executers of the Lord's intention) which was exhibited this week in Maribor, Slovenia at the presentation of the novel together with some Zoran's photos (will add a link when I upload photos).

Father Cedrik is a priest, whose lifetime of battles with vampires, witches and the possessed turned him into a fanatic. He was one of the most prominent characters in the novel, and in great deal a parody of the Church's bad sides.
The 100x70cm (40x27 in) poster has already been printed and exhibited, but I will continue working on it because I think it has a lot of potential.
The file is huuuuge, 8352x11811 px, my computer and tablet were giving me a very hard time.

Like an hourglass

Why did I choose the shortest night in the year to paint this piece? *yawn*
I've been told the colors are kind of dull. I agree, but I didn't intend this to be a bright and contrasting image. Suffocating feeling? Yes.
Original is 3000x4500px.

Speedpaints vol. 1

Here's a couple of speedpaints from a few months ago. They usually take 30-60 minutes, except for the skull which took longer, and is still quite blurry. I used a photo reference for the skull.
Photoshop 7 and a Genius A6 tablet.

Girl with a gun

Does "Basics of regulation technique" sound interesting to you? Neither it did to me. So I was sketching during the lecture, and one of the sketches I decided to color in Photoshop:

I didn't really pay attention to lighting and details, but it was fun.

I like to sketch

So I decided to give my doodles, studies, in-development and other stuff a decent home.
