Goh'Cephal

Not that this really has anything to do with Call of Cthulhu, but I guess that I have been influenced from the monsters of that setting. There is just something with tentacle monsters that appeals to me and not in an Asian manga kind of way (please make a note of that )

I was not sure if I was to dress the girl or not, but after a few tests, it simply looks a lot cleaner and better this way.

Painted using Photoshop with a Wacom tablet over a long period of time (painted one or two hour every now and then. Reference from different places within my own collection.

Catfight

The idea for this one started out more comic than it turned out to be. I had something else planned out for the 2 characters in the scene, but I soon figured out that I had to let the chick and the cat interact to make this piece work. I guess there are not other back story to this than I simply enjoy making pieces like this. I also wanted to experiment a little with volumetric light directed from the top in the scene.

Own model used as reference for the girl.

Painted during 3 evenings in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Intuos tablet.

Raised by bats

In addition to a big interview for the Future Publishing magazine, Imagine FX, I made this painting for a workshop for the same issue. The reference model is Kjetil, a colleague and friend of mine. The workshop is explaining down to detail on how to make digital fantasy-themed portrait.

Painted during a few evenings in Photoshop 7 with a Wacom tablet.

After painting guys for quite a while, I had a bad relapse and had to paint something really, really, cheesy. I painted this on and off during a periode of time when I had a lot of other projects, so I don’t know exactly how much time I’ve spent on this, but a little more than usual. Painted from scratch using Photoshop with a tablet.
