Dune - The Baron (final)

I finally finished all interior illustrations for Dune, so I figured I start to share them here as well...

Was a massive process, but really fun experiment. :)

Sketchbomb v.79 - Dream Eater

Elvish Prince

I have found a pencil drawing, what I did a couple of month ago on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I scanned and dropped some really rough colors to the top of it on a multiply layer to strengthen the classic fantasy mood. >>>

Human flower - wip

started a new painting with acrylics... still a long way to go, but I thought I am going to upload the work phases, so here is the first one...

Back to the roots!

Havent done anything with acrylics for ages and it was quiet fun to work again with a traditional medium. Sorry for the crappy photo...
