New illustrations and sketches

A new cover for Craig Halloran's story "Chronicles of Dragon", showing Nath Dragon (the hero) at the front.

A portfolio-piece and personal work showing an army of magicians fighting against a "Fireworm".


And more sketches, rough works and drawings are uploaded daily into my new Sketchbook on Tumblr:

Meanwhile I draw a lot with pencils and other traditional tools. My eyes got tired after half a year of working digital the whole day, every week, every month. In case you want to follow my traditional work you can visit (and follow if you like) my blog on Tumblr. But I will upload my sketches soon and post a bunch of them in this blog too (right here, so you don't have to follow two blogs). I hope I will have my energy back very soon, as digital work is of course very important nowadays. And I have new colored works in progress, as well as drawings prepared to be colored and textured the next days.

Stay tuned and thanks for visiting my blogs.

Approaching Boss Battle

When you travel a lot, be sure to collect every magical and non-magical stuff you can... because you never know when an epic Boss Battle might approach - per example if you enter an abandoned kingdom...

This is my touched up image version from this one [link] - and now our hero is holding a sword he collected during his adventures.


Tried myself in more texturing and conceptart-techniques - this Illustration shows one of my places of my own project.


Tools: Wacom Intuos3 A3 + PS CS5.1
