Speedies

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:40:53 PST

Some 1 hour works that I did a month or two ago.
I should get back to doing them again...

Cave

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 04:37:13 PST

Couldn't think of anything else to draw here, so left it pretty simple. It was a nice study though.

Sketches 2

Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:23:38 PDT

Some random fast sketches that I did recently. I don't usually sketch a lot (unless it's anatomy) , the only time I do such freehand sketches is when I'm out somewhere.

Dunno, maybe you'll find something interesting in this set, I felt like sharing it.

Ladybug

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:26:01 PDT

There once was a small ladybug with only one little black spot on her back. She was very sad about it, but she heard about a small gnome, who was a painter, but he lived deep in the forest. So she went on a journey, and eventually found him. He took the ladybug, placed her in his palm, grabbed his paintbrush and painted all the missing spots (:

Magic Beans

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:16:23 PDT

Not "Jack and the Beanstalk", but pretty similar story.

To keep it short, a merchant bought some magical beans at a market, far away in other lands. And while he got back home to his village, all the beans fell from his pocket, because it had a small torn hole. When morning came, he walked outside from his house, and saw that the whole village was overgrown with giant bean plants (:

Sleeping Sunshine

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 12:07:39 PDT

I'm uploading few illustrations I did few months ago for a fairytale book.

This one is about a sunshine. It fell asleep under the tree, and because of its warmness, all the snow around it melted and the first flower of spring rose from the ground.

Under the sky

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:07:27 PDT

I tried to make it look like you would be standing right under some weird cliff, looking up to it.
I never actually tried to draw something like this, so I hope this looks believable ^^'

Sketches

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 04:12:48 PDT

Mostly anatomy drawings, all done during August. I'm awful when it comes to working with pencils and sketching I guess if there would be an 'undo' function I would be better at it...

Daily Concept 17

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 16:13:15 PDT

I feel like the composition is all wacked up here, though I can't clearly see what's wrong or what should I change...
I came up with stuff as I painted, had no initial idea. It was quite fun (:

Daily Concept 16

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:09:47 PDT

Didn't thought I will draw anything today, but I managed to do this work. Took me very little time, but I don't feel like doing anything serious

Daily Concept 15

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:00:39 PDT

I wanted to draw some kinda creature today. Tried to make it look more 'natural' and believable. Not sure if I succeeded at that (:

Daily Concept 14

Thu, 16 Aug 2012 15:31:52 PDT

Child of the nature (:

Hopefully her hands and face look ok, they gave me some trouble...

Daily Concept 13

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:55:29 PDT

Had a lot of fun with this one (:
Though it exhausted me a lot. I hope to spend another few hours later on this work and add more details.

Daily Concept 12

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:32:42 PDT

Didn't have a lot of time today, so this work isn't very detailed, nor finished.

Daily Concept 10

Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:34:24 PDT

Well, I had an idea to draw a villager girl today, who likes to play around with magic ^^

Daily Concept 9

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:47:14 PDT

I'm not all that good at character concepts, but I always felt it's something that I should be doing.

Studies 1

Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:05:23 PDT

Few paintings I did from photo references.
About 30-60min for each.
Will do movie screens next.

For the first painting I used a photo by Nesqa [link]
Other two taken from google.

Daily Concept 9 Sketch

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 05:02:55 PDT

Well...
This is my idea for my next daily concept. But I'm not sure if I will do anything today, got loads of other stuff to take care of. So I'm sharing this rough 5 min work instead, and I will probably finish it tomorrow.

If anyone has any ideas what should I add here, let me know <3

Daily Concept 8

Daily Concept 7

Fri, 03 Aug 2012 17:02:45 PDT

I think I failed a little with the huge mountain side on the right side. It was hard to get the shapes and textures right, so everything looks sketchy there.
I will continue working on this tomorrow (:

Daily Concept 6

Daily Concept 5

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:13:54 PDT

This one was a lot of fun to do (:

Daily Concept 4

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:21:59 PDT

I feel like I could have done a better job with the colour variety, but I just feel too tired to continue...

Daily Concept 3

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 16:14:51 PDT

Another concept (:

Daily Concept 2

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:48:45 PDT

I don't really like this one, but I gotta keep up with the whole 'daily concept' idea (:

Bandit concept

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 03:28:16 PDT

This is a bit older work, I noticed I never uploaded it here

Daily Concept 1

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:32:16 PDT

I decided to create a concept every single day. Fast one or a detailed one, to improve my skills (:

This one is about 50% done, it has main colours and rough brush strokes, left side is extremely rough and unfinished ;D

There's no big story behind this concept, just a hidden place deep between the mountains, where cold solitude and darkness prevail. There stands four arches - the remains of something sacred (:

Om Nom Nom

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:23:55 PST

I guess I should draw more human concepts, but drawing monsters is just so much funz!

Santa's Reindeer

Been scribbling this for a while, tried to get into Christmas mood.

and I did.

I give the most random names evar

Dagon

Sun, 22 May 2011 07:46:58 PDT

" Then suddenly I saw it. With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds. I think I went mad then."

"Dagon" by H.P.Lovecraft.
[link]

In Biblical context, Dagon is the Semitic Fish God, God of Philistines. It was represented in the combination of both man and fish. The name "Dagon" is derived from "dag" which means "fish."

The cats of Ulthar

Sun, 22 May 2011 06:44:39 PDT

"It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroe and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungles lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten."

"The cats of Ulthar" by H.P.Lovecraft.
This illustration is the very beginning of the story.

The Beast

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:51:02 PDT

"With a jerk, the white body rolled over so that its face was turned in our direction. For a moment I was so struck with horror at the eyes thus revealed that I noted nothing else. They were black, those eyes, deep, jetty black, in hideous contrast to the snow-white hair and flesh. Like those of other cave denizens, they were deeply sunken in their orbits, and were entirely destitute of iris."

"The Beast in the Cave" by H.P.Lovecraft

Got inspired by all those cosmic ambient tracks.

Speed painting, really messy, but God it felt so good to paint something fast and simple...

Bento concept

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:15:01 PST

Hey everyone

Meet Bento! A cute little creature who would probably tear you to shreds ^^

A little bit about Bento:

You will most likely find Bentos hiding deep in swamps. They have extremely long legs, when crouched, they're about 2 meters tall, and when they stretch out, their height can reach up to 4 meters, sometimes up to 6.

Bentos are perfect jumpers and swimmers, yet they're not so good runners.
In swampy water, Bentos move around perfectly, usually they can reach the bottom with their feet, and still are able to peek their head from the water. Long legs allow them to swim easily, and huge feet allow them to easily walk in muddy soft ground.

If anyone's interested, here's the very first doodle of this concept, just an idea how it should look like when crouched and stretched out [link]

Hope you like it!

Just a speedie to get me into artistic mood (:

Way Home

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 11:03:20 PST

it's been sooo long since I actually created an environment concept!
But finally I did something, hope you guys like it.

I really don't know how to call that creature, nor what it is exactly. I just wanted to insert a huge animal in this work. Well, one thing this creature does - he carries stuff. Traders/travellers usually use them to travel long distances.

This creature has lost his master, he was killed. He has memorized the way home, so he's going there on it's own.

Mosa

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:55:38 PDT

I had this idea of this creature long time ago, and finally forced myself to paint it
I might do more concepts, this one is a fast one because I couldn't sleep.

Mosas are actually Godly creatures. Their blood can heal or kill you instantly if you drink it. It depends if you were chosen by Mosa, because they decide if you deserve to be healed.
They are extremely sensitive to daylight, that's why you will find these creatures lurking in the most darkest places. Surrounded by blind darkness, they shine in pure blue light.

Mosas can't hear anything, but they still sing to each other and feel the vibes. Not everyone can hear this gorgeous melody, Mosas feel your presence and stay in quiet. That's why if you somehow are able to hear their singing, you are blessed, because it means they are calling only you.

Entering Naria city

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:29:04 PDT

Old work, just added some new details and changed contrast/colours.
I'm satisfied with this work enough to put it here

This is an entrance to Naria city (Naria was a goddess in Celtic mythology). I hope to do more sketchy concepts of the city.
