This started as a rather random idea developed from a few nature photos I liked, but I quickly developed some narrative and left my comfort zone with all the birds.
Ui, wunderschön! Gerade die Vögel beleben das Bild und zusammen mit den aufblickenden Menschen erinnert mich das alles an das Intro von Secret of Mana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yxKgiYXGLM :-)
Paintings given as Christmas gifts. Still working on photographing my work - bloody mess when you're not much of a photo guy, like me - but it's improving. Formats are 40×50cm illustration board with canvas texture, 24×30 twice, and 25×30cm stretched canvases, respectively. Mediums used were acrylic paints, gel pens, pigmented ink pens, coloured pencils, structure paste, and Indian ink.
And sometimes things just go very quickly. When I sent some of my artbooks to family, one uncle called because he was mesmerized by the raven drawing. It's a 10×7cm charcoal and ink drawing I did on one of those small tryout pads for testing papers. He wanted basically the same thing but bigger, and I drew this 50×38cm, adding gold acrylic paint with a palette knife, and sent it off.
I have been working on the series of horror novels for Christopher Brewer since 2018. Most of them have titles that include "Dark", but I don't really have to take care of any layouting since the author is commissioning me from his own pocket; it's entirely unsure if the publisher will use the artworks, but fingers crossed. Nevertheless, I am having a lot of fun because our collaboration is quite creative. They often show the main protagonist Alice in danger, the depictions are very symbolic and I am to include certain elements taking cues from tarot and mythology. The greatest challenge certainly is that I need to show horror story artwork without making it unshowable despite subjects like cannibalism, child abduction, and abuse in marriage. Going all out gory might be simple, but I enjoy finding more subtle yet creepy ways of showing a visual synopsis. The next highest challenge is the format, which is much more "stumpy" than others. I haven't read any
