Trenches

Same as previous exercise...1 hour limit speedpainting in one continuous session.

Bloodsucker's Humble Abode

Set myself a time limit of 1 hour to do this speedpainting trying to focus on the essential elements and using as much time-saving techniques as possible. I also did this in one pass to see if I could get away without relying on those invaluable pauses that make you see all the dumb mistakes you did.

 

The Hidden Path

Something more China inspired.

Swamp Traveller

Finally got some time to post a personal piece.

Romantic Shadows - Inspired by Lisbon's beautiful small parks...

Into the Dark - Another dark forest environment...

Conspiracy

Inspired by a visit to the beautiful church of "São Domingos" in Lisbon.
The church suffered a big fire in 1959 which completely destroyed the inner decoration. It was decided not to hide the marks of the fire and to my eyes it only makes the church more beautiful. I was told the orange painted ceiling is a reminiscence to the fire. Here is a photo:

Dedicated to Paula Bottas for showing me this beautiful church.

Spikes of Despair - Going for a really cold environment...

Medieval Town - An old concept I never posted.

The Hidden Library 01

The Hidden Library 01 - I'm doing an experiment over at Deviantart where I'm doing a painting from start to finish with the aid of the online community's suggestions/critiques. I thought I would post the process over here, too.

The Hunt

Nothing much to say, other than this started as a thumbnail a sketch I did last year for James Paick's online masterclass.

Everyone Wants To Be A Hero

I leave a suggestive title so you can decide if this guy makes it or if he is just a bit too ambitious...

Peaceful Kingdom

Some months ago I created a new folder with unfinished paintings/sketches and also intermediate steps of finished paintings. Basically it's a collection of a lot of crappy images I did over the last years that I think had some potential if taken further or reworked. This is one of my attempts to try and make something interesting out of something not worth looking at. Let me know your thoughts.

Winter Village

Commissioned concept I did last year...

Dark Days To Come

Image inspired by the work of masters Khang Le and Maciej Kuciara, two artists I greatly admire...

Warriors2

A fleshed out version of the previous sketch...
