Stage 2 complete

Homage

This is a new piece that I have been working on and off (unfortunately mostly off) for most of the summer.  Alphonse Mucha has always been one of my favorite artists, I love Art Nouveau, and have always wanted to do some nouveau themed pieces.  So in may I decided to take a break from landscapes, monsters, and knights in shiny armor and do my version of a Mucha art nouveau piece.  Hopefully this will be colored and painted by Illuxcon in September, but there are no promises.

Salt Mine

Several months ago I did some card art for Romance of the Nine Empires and they have begun to release some of the artwork for the set.  One of the cards I did was released so I can now post and show the work.

Angel of Justice

Had this idea in my head for almost a year, looking up at an angel as he is taking out his sword to deliver justice.  I started painting it over the summer and realized half way through that the composition was TERRIBLE, so I abandoned it.  A few weeks ago I was messing around in my sketchbook and did a sketch of the same idea of an angel unsheathing a fearsome looking sword.  This sketch had the energy and drama that was completely missing in my previous attempt.  So I scanned the drawing and took some more reference photos and I came out with this, something I am really happy with.

Drink of the Damned

So I did this piece almost two years ago and at the time I was really happy with it.  Recently I was looking at some of my older work and noticed that this piece could use some more work.  I thought I had a opportunity to turn an okay-good piece into a great piece.  I went back and repainted the hands and face of the figure and completely repainted all of the statues on the arch and some other things here and there.  I have to say after finally getting around to fixing all the things that were wrong with the piece (I didnt like most of the stone figures even after I finished the painting in 2011) this is now probably one of my favorite paintings.

Outpost

I started this piece a little over a month ago and decided to take a break from it and work on other things and this week I opened it back up and finally got around to finishing it.

Moonlight

Been wanting to do a night themed painting for a while and now I finally got around to do it
