History on a grand scale

Blood and Iron

nice suit

I'm trying to get better at painting and develpoing a flow of work that works for me. so far using soft brushes to block out colour and tone, then working on top of them with harder and harder edge brushes seems to be working ok. I was doing it the other way round but i didnt like the results as they felt blobby and undefined.

a green and pleasent land

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

Pacific rim

Gypsy danger is a real challenge to pose as the proportions and dimensions are absolutely insane.
I wanted to get across the lumbering Mexican wrestling themes in the film.

forever wandering

a continuation of the little red wanderer series.

shipyards

You can blame my friend Catherine for all these ship based paintings. I think the top one turned out better as i'm trying to do more painting with hard surface objects. but i still got to ad some of my favorite things such as fire and mountains.

Dungeon monsters

So me and a friend wrote and are D.M'ing a comedy dungeon. now it may be a comedy but its a dark comedy. so lots of discussing and nasty creatures within. some are creatures you can find in the bestiery but I wanted to do my own spin on them.  I will update more designs after the guys have encountered them.

A blasted land

30 min speed painting. i wanted to give this one a national geographic photograph feeling to this one.

A light in the forest

at the mountains of madness complete

so i took it upon myself to illustrate H.P Lovecraft's The Mountains Of Madness to see if i could still illustrate worth a damn. Im pretty happy with the result and I will be selling prints at the next london mcm. or hey, drop me an e mail if you'd like one, or the set!

the mountains of madness. part one.

these are part of a larger collection when its done will span the entire book. these are still tecknically works in progress but i like how they're coming along. Horror illustration is much fun to do.  

The Haunted Forrest

This isn't done yet but I haven't posted anything in a while that wasn't soldiers in face masks.

the new forrest

Some place near where I grew up.

the white orc

this dude had a lot of design choices i really liked; the almond eyes, the flattened nose and the more vampire king look to him was really cool. That and i find facial scarification fascinating. I did this painting from memory so he’s not 100% accurate to what he looked like in the film. but nevertheless this was fun to paint.

Grizzled General

A reinstated Danport back in the great machine of the Tecknologists Empire. with ceremonial helmet custom made to further his reputation and legend as the old lion. he's mostly held together by his power amour but is still ferocious in battle, refusing to lead from the safety of forward command.

Slender

I'm breaking in a new tablet so I thought I'd some horror. this piece may well end up the cover of a comic I'm starting to write about a town of people plagued by slender people.
I know I'm pretty much ripping of the slender man meme but for such a cool idea there aren't a lot of very good stories concerning the creature. The idea is great don't get me wrong but I'd like to do something cool with it. anyway watch this space I suppose.

Assemble!

So long time no posting. man this painting took far too long to make. But I figured if I was going to do some fanart other than batman I might as well go head first. I like the idea that even though the avengers are this bad ass team when they have to team up its for something incredibly bad and impossible. so seeing them only just about get through and almost die in the process is something i find interesting instead of  just blazing through without a scratch. just the more battle worn look.
I'm still figuring out my process to define myself as a painter. i'm still not completely satisfied with this one but i think I'm getting there.

skyrim snow

so yes I'm tentatively making gifs on photoshop. more to come once this project and the mcm expo is over.
