Warriors

Rougher work, which sometimes has the appeal of not showing everything to the viewer making it more engaging. My focus was on composition, color and pose.
Overworking a painting can lead to uninteresting results so instead I decided to share this image where the "paint" is still fresh...

Zombie Overrun

Probably inspired by "Undead Nightmare"...Gotta love them zombies!

Requiem

Here's an image I did for my musician friend Pedro Macedo Camacho.

Hidden Tomb

This is the last of the rocks+tower series.

Twin Falls

Third in the "tower with rocks" series...I hope you can hear the roaring of the waterfalls and feel the chill in the air...

Watchtower

Second of the 4 tower-series paintings...

Empire of the Saviours

A book cover I did last year.

Summit

Testing techniques and ways to approach a painting. This is one of a series of 4 paintings I did with a similar theme.

Forest Temple II

This is the other Forest Temple painting I did simultaneously as the previous post...same ingredients: big tree, forest, 2 characters and a temple.

Forest Temple I

One of 2 recent illustrations I did for practice using techniques outlined by the amazing Feng Zhu. My subject matter was a moody forest, 2 characters and a temple of some sort.

Enchanted Forest

First painting of the year. Trying out new approaches...

The Wise Man's Fear

A promotional image I did for the portuguese edition of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss.

Winter Travellers II

Although I live an area of sunny winters without any snow I've always been fascinated by snow covered mountains. The snow/rock patterns and their value contrasts are something I really love...add a few drops of fantasy and this is what I got to... Happy New Year!

Winter Travellers

Exploration of new techniques can sometimes lead to satisfactory results, although, most of the time, they end up in the garbage folder.
With this one I made heavy use of Photoshop's lasso tool in the initial stages and sticked to only two brushes throughout the entire painting process: a more textured one with opacity set to pressure and a round one with pressure set to size+opacity.

Blue Abyss 2

I wasn't quite satisfied with the outcome of the first Blue Abyss image so I started again from the same initial sketch and this is what I came up with. Even if it didn't improve I wanted to share this second experiment.

Sanctuary...revisited

Based on a painting I did last year that didn't really come out the way I wanted it to, so I decided to revisit it.

Blue Abyss

Practice...this time with a Blade Runner inspiration.

Trackers

Practicing...inspired by the works of Paul Lasaine and Robh Ruppel.

Fantasy Theater

This was done for an ad campaign for imm Sound, a Spanish company developing 3D immersive sound technology for theaters.

Colony Interior

This was the final assignment for James Paick's online masterclass. Had a great time and learned a lot.
