The Arctic Jungle Concept Art

 Hi everyone, here are some early concepts for an environment located on the continent of my story Forlorn Knights. A cold and bizarre looking area, in which plants evolved unusual features. In the Arctic Jungle, the sap of the plants is incredibly hot. Therefore, they survive the cold, grow unusual fruit and much more.

The local people living in these areas have plenty of use for the materials, and partially require the sap themselves to function the way they do. Posting the environments here, I plan to have more sophisticated concept illustrations throughout the next months. Depending on how much work for clients I have, it might be possible for me to do.

 

Enjoy!

A Fantasy Map for Craig Halloran

Recently I had an interesting commission: I illustrated the world of author Craig Halloran. His world named Nalzambor is where his new book-series takes place.

This is my very first map I ever worked on, it was interesting for me to create the different locations.

To learn more about Craig Halloran's world and stories, have a look at his Facebook-page:

The year 2013 has already started, I was very busy so I am able to update my blog just now. From now I continue to upload sketches and finished illustrations to this blog. One illustration I did for the start of the new year can be seen above - with fireworks done only by real masters: Dragons. Hope you all had a great time and have a great year 2013.

As I start uploading my own created Photoshop-Brushes, I will open a new page on my blog so you can download them. But for now they are just available (at least most of them) at Deviantart. Just have a look into my Deviantart Folder and maybe some Brush-Sets are worth a try: Have a look right here

Be sure to follow my rules for each set, please.
