Bag End - Shadow of the Past
36" x 24"
Oil on Panel

You may have seen pictures of this in progress over the past year, and now the work is finally finished. Begun at the the Illustration Master Class last June as a demonstration in portraiture and lighting, this is yet another of my ventures into the theme of Middle-earth. Gandalf reveals to Frodo that the quiet magic ring he holds is actually The One Ring which will bring shadow and suffering to all of Middle-earth unless it is destroyed.

From the depths of Mordor (represented by the fire place) to the green pastures of the Shire (with Sam's head glimpsed through the window) there is nowhere to hide from the power of the Ring...

Enjoy!

Illustration for Popshot Magazine, for a short story entitled “The Light Eater” by Kirsty Logan.

It’s a lovely piece and I was lucky to been picked to illustrate it - if you’re into poetry and short stories, this magazine might interest you. This issue is out and you can get it here - [link].

Well the selkie has had her fun, and now she wants to go home.
Only...she can't. The sea will not take her back now.

Excuse the gratuitous drama, but really considering the subject matter and the artist, I'm quite surprised I made it this long without it. I've been listening to the soundtrack for The Assassination of Jesse James all day, which I highly recommend...if you feel like crying your eyes out. It does very well suit this piece, though. Here is a tragic tragic taste: [link]

two african women i did in zbrush, just put them in a scene with some mood - i didn't try to make it look realistic or anything, i liked the clay/plastic feel they had. the younger one is based on Charles Cordier's african venus.

The melody of your demise

Mon, 02 Jun 2003 19:36:33 PDT

Hello everyone, I'm back =} Soooo busy working, but I thought I'd say hi, drop a picture for you, and get back to bending to the whip of work. Picture done in photoshop 7, and painter 7, and for a special little something over at Epilogue.

Wallpaper version, again, available at [link] :} enjoy :]

As always, I wrote a little something to go with it - this time, a small version of a legend in the fantasy world I've created:

----

Mehach and Ereyon.

Tales speak of how Mehach, Goddess of Death, used to visit the world of Aii Chriaston in the past. She would herself step down from her ebony keep, and gently weave and coax souls from their discarded shells - and legends speak of how she, when gathering souls from a battlefield, met a wounded, but still breathing young man by the name of Ereyon.

Ereyon was beautiful in a way the Goddess had never seen before - she had seen beauty in Gods, but here, she saw beauty in life. In his pulse, in the beat of his heart, and she came to love him - and he came to love her.

She visited him every night, and every night they kissed. For nearly a year, they were together, but Ereyon had a secret he did not share with his mistress. Though her presence when she was with him was dimmed down - she was still Death, and she was slowly killing him. Rather than telling her, and losing what little time he had left with her, he kept quiet, and wasted away. Mehach was blinded by her love for him and suspected nothing until the day he actually died - and she felt his passing from her throne.

He did not come to her, though, as souls should. He clung to his grave and haunted the cemetery at night. Mehach called for him but he would not come - so she was forced to go down to him once again.

He did not want to go to the ebony keep, because he knew that then he would lose his memories and his love for her - he would lose what he had left. Haunting the cemetery, at least, would let him remember what they had shared.

Mehach spent the night in the graveyard, playing her harp - weaving patterns of his soul through her fingers, until, quiet as the wraith he was, he could no longer resist... and floated towards her, kissing her cheek - and she kissed him in return and thus stole his memories, and his love, and all that he once was... truly stealing his life before taking him back to the dark keep.

It is said that after this incident, after the tragic death of Ereyon, the Goddess of Death has never been seen on Aii Chriaston again.

Odin helm 2

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:43:41 PDT

Yes class, that is correct. This is the helm of the mighty Odin, more commonly found on DA as the mighty .
I was commissioned to do an original Odin helmet, not specifically based on historical helmets or pop culture, but somewhere in between. I incorporated the wings design, even if that seems somewhat stereotypical. The center design is a stylized raven, and carries around to the back as well.
It was a defunct bump cap I sawed the visor off and reversed.
The rest is constructed from fiberglass board, bondo epoxy sculpt clay (my first foray and I am in love), high tensile fencing wire pieces, and then paint, glaze, sealers and lacquers.

For me, I had a one of my faster turn-overs from creation to finish, and though there are a few steps I'd have done different, it has become a most satisfying piece.
And hopefully it'll have a fine run and the upcoming DragonCon. Plus, look at those bottom row pictures; doesn't he look smashing in that, and the custom made robes by ?
I will post a more detailed WIP, but you can get the basic construction at this folder.

Speed sketch done in class. Colored on photoshop CS3. I tried to represent the forest like a mystic place that's why the trees looks like stained-glass windows. The forest in the movie is so gorgeous...
This is not a repainting of a screenshot from the movie. I know my drawing isn't very creative but it was just for the fun.
