I will be back soon and till that here is another enemy character (well, sort of) design for Galaxy Saga to keep the blog going. :)

Perspective Sketching Demo

I started to teach again and as usual we are trying to wrap our head around the mysteries of the perspective first. I made this as a quick demo to show an exercise in perspective to my class - drawing the environment you are in from a different point of view...

Mega Brush Pack 2013

Lots of people keep asking me about my brushes, so here comes the set what I am currently using for all my professional and personal works. Sometimes I create new brushes for specific projects / purposes, but this set covers about 95% of my needs atm. Most of the brushes are downloaded from the great interwebs and modified to my own taste and some of them are created by me.

You are going to find loooooots of brushes in this set, but to be honest I am using about 4 or 5 of them only in 98% of my process. All the rest is for specific purposes, but I like to keep them there just in case and because I am sick of loading in specific sets, if I need that one frakin brush just for one stroke.

What you have to keep in mind is the brushes are slowing down your Photoshop (it gets into the cache probaly or something), so if you don`t have enough ram (it gets fine above 16gigs) the best is if you try them out and keep only the ones you really like.

Have fun! :)

Warhammer - Warpstone Mine (Card)

As the publisher uses this illustration as a promo piece for the new Warhammer Invasion Game Night Kit, I am allowed to show the artwork here as well. The original approved card is without the crow, but I kind like this birdy version better. :) You can fins more details about the expansion at the game`s official site  > HERE <.

Eclipse Phase - Transhuman Explorer

Character / creature design done for Eclipse Phase - as they published it a couple of days ago, I can share it here as well. I was really happy that the awesome guys at the publisher allowed to leave it a bit more painterly and rough. Cheers! :)
