Drawing Inspiration

This is a fantastic book to have around.  It’s not a tutorial or how to draw .. However the varied about of styles and the write-ups is very inspirational.

The Future of Fantasy Art










Trouble Rising

New work using new process and software.

I purchased ArtRage for a few reasons; one is the smaller set of tools. Here is what I will try to move toward:

- Sketch (detail, and use art pens to line)
- Scan
- New ArtRage paining (standard paper, 1024 x768 100dpi)
- Open scanned sketch as tracing image
- Use the “Paint tracing image to current layer”
- Remove tracing image
- Add new layer (transparent and top of original drawing)
- Use oil-paint tool (50 % pressure, no thinners, 17 % loading)
- dab around in strategic places, just to get the overall color scheme right
- Use Pallet knife (30% pressure) to blend
- Use a non loaded brush with some thinner for additional work (like shine effects)
 
New workflow and techniques worked way better then I expected: I present "Trouble Rising"

Orcs of my Past

Huge inspiration (and way to get my Orc fix) is from gaming. Both single player RPG and MMORPG.. Here are a few of my past (and future if I go back to play them..):

Oblivion. Orc Warrior..
















Ahh Warhammer .. love the Orcs in this game..






















































Vanguard .. Orc Dread Knight (not the best pic I have .. still looks cool)
















Ahhh ... World Of Warcraft (my Orc warlock)
