Doom

Everyone has nostalgic moods i suppose, last week mine was about doom. I loved played and edited the game for a very long time. I was browsing the web for some art but i didn't find that much hell knight fan art, maybe i didn't look for it long enough but it made me think that i should do some myself. Back in the days it wasn't all that obvious to have fan art at all, especially not so widely shared as it is right now. So i'm gonna share the hell out of this one since the game deserves more fan made art : ). I present to u my interpretation of the hellknight's pixels, because that's all i based the painting on. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the design and feel of the character.

edit : the sprite :)

Defined

More of the same but with more thought. They started out as random concepts but i have now decided to use them for my project. Some of these creatures fit very well in the white road, or even outside of it in the 'nearby' forests.

Creatures of the dark.

One of my favourite things to do when i'm out of inspiration is searching for and making interesting brushes. This time i found some that i already made long ago. Just to change the way i usually start drawing, i started off with a black background and so the white followed naturally. Before i knew it i was doing dark creatures again, it's definitely one of the most pleasant subjects to draw, with or without inspiration.These where done with the brushes i found scattering them all over the page, then trying to find recognizable shapes and turning those into beings. It's designing without thinking. 

I love winter for its clouds, i love rain for its noise and i love dark things for the warm and cozy feelings they bring along with them. I sure wish my yard had undead skeletons walking in it. I'd love to see the rain fall on their bare skulls pouring down onto their swords ending up in the dirt... I see a dead dog or cow... floating around at shoulder height...not so active, just floating... sure, in my yard. Feel free to make of it what u want. u can see the rest of em at my deviantart page HERE

Blood, guts, demons, torture...

I haven't got much to say about this image. It all went smooth till it was 90%, then i stopped working on it for some reason. Maybe i wanted it to be more than it became. I finished it to finish it. Some day a true action piece of this kind will emerge...dynamic poses, flying guts, splattering blood and expressions in the faces of the tortured. At least the demon is already enjoying it : )

The Witch

Finished, and almost the way i wanted it to turn out. Dark, green, foggy, but a little less detail in the background than i would have liked. I still need to work on my environments. My next piece should have improvements there.

500

My project (which i haven't given any official name yet) is beginning to take on a solid shape. Storyline and concepts are slowly getting in place. For the last couple of months i've been sorting out every drawing i ever made that could lead to inspiration for my project. Today i was glad and proud to have scanned the 500th piece which is probably the last one. I hope this database of inspiration will be used often, it seems i had more than one good idea when i was younger. Everything is now decently put in stock and now the creativity and the sorting can begin. When i was going through all of that older stuff i came across this witch and i became tempted to make a copy of it with modern age tools. I redrew the whole thing in the exact same pose because i really like how motivated she's pursuing... well...who knows what.

I can't exactly remember when i first made this, i never really kept the date on drawings. Good thing the computer now does this for us. So what i'm trying to achieve is a dark (as usual) swamplike environment that she's crossing hunting down her target (which i'm gonna leave out). It is a She, but i want her to have some manlike features, strong arms and an evil grin. I hope to get the poisonous look later on when i'm doing the color adjustments. I'll post the final image when it's done.

Game Project

A while ago i had the pleasure of doing most of the artwork for a game called Deadly Dungeons for the android. The project was in the more than capable hands of Jacob Ensign. For this game i did the texturing, concepts for monsters, items, interface and skillbuttons. I had a lot of fun working on this beauty, there was a nice and steady workflow, great communication and tasks where well within my range of skills. I would be more than happy to take on another project like this. Site:
