Demon



Second in my myth of Heaven and Hell. The demon is more in our world and has more in common with us than the Angel who is jealous of man's place.

Angel








This is a piece that I just started painting without a sketch. It took about 4 to 5 hours. I think this is the beginning of a series.

Elf Warrior and Gwarf





This took between 20-25 hours. I didn't keep a log, but that's a rough idea.

Final of Dragon Painting





Please, if you have any helpful criticism, do not hesitate to make suggestions. This was an incredibly fun illustration to paint and I have to praise Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop for making such amazing tools!

OK since I first posted this I have tweaked the image quite a bit. I placed the older versions below and here is the latest and hopefully final version.

Worker Duck!




New piece for local hotel undergoing renovations. I did revisions as requested by the client. I added their logo and tilted the hat. They also wanted smaller feet. I liked the larger feet but, hey, it's their duck! Final, Revision, Original.

Rework of Fairy picture


I love having other artists to bounce my work off of. Some folks over on the VoodooChilli website critiqued this sketch and helped me make it stronger before taking it to final. I think their suggestions about playing a little more with tonal temperature, leading the eye around the image better, and not having the attention drawn away from the character were all valid issues and I have addessed them. Here is the new sketch.
