If you spend time looking into dark places there is a good chance that it will be noticed...

This painting is a present for a London magician..

It started as a character sketch of an amazon girl (hence the pose) but then I had more fun turning her into a shape shifting shaman :]

Software used: Painter and Photoshop.. I didn't keep track of the time

Thanks for your visit!

Done for the client Imagine FX Magazine

Most of it was painted in Photoshop with some bits of Painter for the work on her hair. One of my own images was used as reference for her arm. And since I have no idea about the real anatomy of dragons I checked some lizard images to have an inspiration for the features of the little one.

The original concept was to show how a sketch would come to life. While I was working on the lineart for the dragon tatoo, I flipped the upper part of the tatoo and suddenly it looked as if the critter would grow out of her arm. We liked this new idea, so we kept it.
Compositionwise I had to make sure that her face wouldn't be covered with the headline and also that the character would read well (-> that there would be a good colorcontrast to the color of the background). I'm more than happy to see how these colors turned out in print and I know what I'll be reading tonight!

A big thanks to Marcelo Furquim and Rob Carney who did the briefing and who provided me with feedback and inspiration along the progress of this work. Cheers!

I hope you guys like it. Thanks for your visit!

Damp forest soil and the light of the evening sun.. If you follow the old path to the mountains it will lead you to the caves of the Ylreen. Just stay silent for a while and you might get the chance to see one.

Yes, I had a budgy once :P He was blue and turquoise and the most cheerful little creature you can imagine.

Btw, I'm picking up speed: this was done in less than a week alongside some other projects. Programs used: Photoshop and a bit of Painter (mainly for the creation of textures).
To get the anatomy right, I looked at some of my own images. The birdie is mostly fantasy but I studied some pictures of seagulwings first.

Comments and crits are most welcome.
Thanks for looking

Character-design for a commission (c) by Joe Mander.
There had to be some science fiction elements in the picture, a bit of a military-look mixed with priest-like clothes, black golden and darkred.. Lucrezia is one of the key characters in his novel - so I put her on a little podium to show her importance..

Sketches and wip images are on my homepage in the "daily sketch" box..

Crits are always welcome, thanks for looking.

Here are some closeups in 100%
