Ranarh's Art Blog

I did this quick study while creating a tutorial on water reflections for deviantArt. It is based on a photo I took during a visit to Hagenbeck zoo in Hamburg, it is the elephant region of the zoo which is beautifully designed to resemble southeast asian ruins (they are Indian elephants).

I finally finished my roleplaying characters from the Dark Eye setting. The twelve of them will be subitted to deviantart over the next few days. I used Painter 12's real Watercolor to paint them. I was very different from my paintings with physical watercolours because I work very wet, and I missed the accidents that happen with that medium, but the digital brushes were okay too.

I've been working for the past few issues of the Cthuloide Welten , the Call of Cthulhu magazine by German games publisher Pegasus Spiele. Now, the last issue #21 has been released, featuring my works in several articles. These are some of my favourites, and I have to say that especially the monsters came over nicely in the print. I leraned a lot about working with print media while illustrating for the magazine and met nice people, and I thank editor Frank Heller for giving me this opportunity.
