Such a busy 8 Months or so since I last blogged.  First and best news is that on New years eve my beautiful baby daughter was born. She instantly became my sun, moon and stars.
And now at 8 months she is wrecking the house. I am convinced its only a matter of time till I come home to find weetabix in the PS3!

Art wise  we have had few new births too . Images that have been pulled screaming out of me.

Esgaroth or the destruction of by Smaugh, was great image to depict, I think I learned a few things on this one.

The Viking Dead book cover was great to work on and I cant wait till it comes out. Viking Zombies! How cool is ]]> http://gaius31duke.deviantart.com/journal/Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes-229882796 http://gaius31duke.deviantart.com/journal/Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes-229882796 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:37:16 PST Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes........ nonadult journals/personal Gaius31duke http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/a/gaius31duke.jpg Copyright 2009-2013 *Gaius31duke
I havent updated this Journal in awhile, so much has been going on I just havent had the chance. Relocation, Relocation.

Anyway,

Updates since  last time have been few and far between. But I did post up the Character study of the " Northern Knight ", pose is a bit stiff but I suppose he is wearing armour.

Also Pierre La Font, Ratter, Trapper turned Adventurer!

And so to todays Update.

A environment study inspired by Macbeth, the Blasted Heath.

I still havent got round to finishing a Painting of Druss I started oh so many months ago now, but I am determined to finish it soon.

Anyway all the best ]]> http://gaius31duke.deviantart.com/journal/Unexpected-but-always-welcome-award-in-July-231567941 http://gaius31duke.deviantart.com/journal/Unexpected-but-always-welcome-award-in-July-231567941 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 04:10:57 PDT Unexpected but always welcome award in July nonadult journals/personal Gaius31duke http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/a/gaius31duke.jpg Copyright 2009-2013 *Gaius31duke

There never seems enough time anymore, so many books to read, places to go, movies to see.....

I just posted in my gallery  a study of a subway station, one of those grimy ones you get in less affluent areas of a city.

I think the image is abit stale and not a very exciting piece, more an exercise, so I have decided to smash it up a bit and do a paint over, add a monster ripping it apart! WIll post soon.

down the Vale of the Shadow

I had a quiet sunday and I spent an enjoyable day painting this image.
The lighting is a little inspired by The Hudson river school painters who I greatly admire.

It can be quite tough being an artist or creating art. There is something very personal about what we all create. We nurture and feed it like a new born and then when we feel its ready and sometimes before, we push it out into the harsh world to fend for itself.

We wince as it lives and dies under scrutiny of anothers eyes, suffering the slings and arrows of critique until it is forgotten, already we are nurturing a new creation to begin the whole traumatic process again.

And without further ado I give you the Temple of Courage.
