This image depicts an abandoned tower on a small island in the middle of a mystical lake.

This is a modified pencil sketch of a drawing I made for my friend who runs The Abandoned Sepulcher website.

Greetings folks, this is pretty much the second round of the Sketches of Doom! I’ve really been meaning to show more of these but many times they get lost and/or don’t get scanned. Some of these could be found in my notes and on floating pieces of paper, generally these are all very small, less than 3 inches diagonal.

Fishing madness! I’ve been working on a portrait of a warcraft character, there was a story about this guy fishing and out of imagination I made some fishing scenes. The final artwork actually won’t feature him fishing but these were great fun to create.

Below is an ink sketch of a landscape featuring a lonely tree and a character watching an Earth Dragon “swim” by in its element. The only part of the dragon which is visible in this image are the spikes protruding out of the ground in the lower left part of the drawing.

Last but not least, is a pencil sketch of a character against a small mountain with a mechanical tower on the top.

Cheers!

Anyone who has seen the movie Flashbacks of a Fool will instantly recognize the scene which motivated this image.

It's Mine!!! Old man standing on top of a sea mine

This was entirely painted in Photoshop.

I’ve not been able to post much lately. Honestly, I think I got burned out after September and the challenge I participated in. As much as I improved it sapped the creative juices and they’ve needed to regenerate a bit. That’s the bad news. The good news is that a lot of art is brewing in a chauldron of loose pieces of paper… it will soon be posted here. I’ve also made a big push in the writing department and sometime next year I will start posting actual chapters from the Eternal Seven story.

In the meantime I have a lot of things to take care of as I just bought a house and I’m still working on fixing things around it and moving sometime before the end of the year. For those who don’t own a house, it’s bloody expensive!

So here is a small sketch I made today while my friend Tatiana came over to see how the wacom tablet works.

All done in Photoshop, I used a photograph as a reference.
