Dune - Sandworms

One of the last pieces for the upcoming Dune book, created as hommage for and based on one of the original classic Dune illustrations by John Schoenherr.

Dune - Cover (final)

I just realised I haven't posted anything here for ages, so here is the final version of the cover for the upcoming special edition of Frank Herbert's Dune...

Dune - Riding the Sandworm (final)

One of the simplest, but the hardest one from the series.. I felt really risky to change the well-known sandworm design, but I am glad fans dig it so far. :)

Dune - The Baron (final)

I finally finished all interior illustrations for Dune, so I figured I start to share them here as well... Started traditionally, then scanned, painted digitally to around 85% finish and then printed onto high quality canvas with archival paint and finished with oils. Was a massive process, but really fun experiment. :)
