Character Design

A flirtatious, stylised, Japanese monster/zombie squasher girl. There ya go!

Trick or Treat Rider

Happy (or terrifying) Halloween everyone! :)

A fair few lessons learned with this personal project.
E.g. that there's definitely a limit to how big a canvas size I should work with in Photoshop in the future. Phew! 

Here's a step-by-step for your pleasure:

In Memory Of

One of Many Winters: Excerpt 1

Here is another painting and excerpt from the upcoming story "One of Many Winters" which is one of the stories in The Nightmare Theater anthology. More excerpts from the story to be released soon!

"Ole Lukøje swiftly glided over the long, bowed bridge that connected Gray Street to the vacant grounds of Riverton Elementary School. Whispers of water could be heard from a distance; the accumulated ice had stifled much of the river’s flow. A flock of noisy larks trotted in and out of a frozen bush at the school-end of the bridge..."

A collaboration with my Indian friends, the creative and talented Kabir Shah (painter) and Vidyuth Dileep Singh (writer).

World culture character designs

So here's a recent: Some random character designs themed under 'world culture'.
And despite associations to pink candy floss, tribal/voodoo rituals, mystic deserts and elegant tea ceremonies, I've actually managed to steer clear of the fantasy theme with this one! :)

The Final Stand

"Millennia after millennia they've been forced to retreat to an ever-shrinking territory. Now this mythological army of free peoples of nature have gathered to make a stand and defend their sacred homelands with all their might."

So this is a piece I've been looking very much forward to share! I actually finished it in March this year, but couldn't post it until now.
I used a lot of time on this one and it was a big challenge/milestone in many ways (which was also the intention). With this piece I wanted to push myself a lot in terms of composition, perspective, atmosphere, anatomy and so on.

Thanks to the people who helped with their precious feedback! <3
Hope you guys like it! :)

P.S. I have a huge amount of screen shots from the process that I may eventually turn into some kind of step-by-step thingie if there's an interest for that.

Aztec Necromancer

A character design (and my very first try at a femme fatale).
Here's an initial quick costume design sketch and a step-by-step:
