If I list a model's icon on DA, it'd be kind of you to drop them a tag or a note letting them know you've used them, so they can see!

I am no longer reading all my DA notes and comments they are overwhelming me! Thank you so much for caring, and using my stock, but it would be a full-time job just to keep up with you. If you want to leave a comment on the image, with a link to your work, please do so - I will check comments randomly from time to time.

Chloe Moretz as YT: Snow Crash Movie

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:56:06 PDT

I've been thinking about this concept for ages. When I saw Chloe Moretz up against Jack Donagee from 30 Rock, I knew she had the attitude to play YT. Yet another attempt at sharpening my film concept art skills.

Texture Brushes

Sat, 11 Dec 2010 15:24:02 PST

If you want to support me as a freelance artist and the brushes, a little chip in would help me a lot <3

Since I know I won't have time to paint you a pretty Christmas pic this year (like the other years before), I would at least share with what I create my pictures.
This is one small bunch of my selfmade custom brushes for Photoshop.

Some brushes can be a pain in the bum to use especially because their texture and style is so distinctive that changing brushes whilst painting can turn into a negative part of creating an image for the starters among the digital artists.

So I tried to create brushes that are simple to use for shading, detailing, etc.

I hope you enjoy, my dears.

_{Important:

How to load brushes into your program:

- Select the brush tool or hit the key "B" to select the tool.

- Click next to the arrow of the shown brush on the upper tool bar to open the "Brush Preset Picker".

- click the small arrow on the right side next to where you see the pixel size.

- then select "Load Brushes" and choose the files.

- there you go! The brushes will be loaded underneath all your other brushes.

- enjoy!

P.S:: You don't need to but it would be lovely (and also because I'm so curious) if you could link me your works for which you used these brushes. :]}

_{Please do not redistribute or sell these brushes. Thank you!}

Wrong Turn

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:23:43 PST

Every now and then the bleak, desolate corner of my mind compels me to paint scenes like this. Is it symptomatic of something I need to address, or am I just being melodramatic? It started life as another scene from The Silmarillion; Fingolfin challenging Melkor to single combat at the gates of Angband, but I couldn't resist painting in those imperial eagles. I'm not sure Manwe would approve of that!

Here's a wonderful piece of music from the late, great Jerry Goldsmith that I had on a loop while I worked [link] Its superb. And another fav from Hellboy II [link]

Sakura Demon Warrior

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:06:54 PDT

Just a random concept, samurai inspired, mostly vector work on the outfit on top of a base digital sketch : )
Since she's blind, he wears the helm, she was born from the remains of a corpse once concealed under a sakura tree. The lost soul could not rest from the brutal murder and so her hatred for the murderer kept bottling up until she was reborn from the sakura tree...XD. My friend told me of a similar japanese legend and I though it was really cool.

ps. I wasn't trying to be realistic. The character's proportions were stretched and stylized. I find exaggerating realism is fun and makes the image less realistic and more fantasy-ish. which was what I was going for : )

used: photoshop CS 4

Some stuff on my desk o_o Done from life over the course of four days... damn, daylight is hard, it changes so much, especially in winter.... so a lot of this is improvised, but not only with the colors, it's also damn hard to keep sitting in the same position for days... and then suddenly stuff doesn't line up, or there's a stupid tangent... so you end up just making up stuff... a few of these pencils are actually from head to fill holes or to force an additional overlap haha...

When X-men meets Thor. Charles looks like a fussy brat here, and yeah Loki is such an emo kid, love him.
Seems like Charles and Thor are quite congenial, they have carefree heads like each other.
About the query of little shark at Erik's feet, nothing special, I just want to draw shark ~ It fits him as well.

Killer scanner, btw.

Done by watercolors, I drew all of them on one A4 paper.
