COBRA’s Crimson Guard
Here is another painting and deviantArt upload I made in the last couple of days. COBRA’s elite Crimson Guard platoon with its leader unmasked, who is based on my pal Shane Welin, companion of Duckie, who’s in a G.I. Joe mood this month. Click on the link under the image below to view its deviantArt page.

I Painted Over The Weekend
Over the weekend when I’m not in class, I tried painting some more artwork digitally and upload them to my deviantArt site. Here are three of the paintings I did. Two are original works while the third is a frame grab-referenced Gollum from Return of the King. Click on the image title under each picture to view a larger version […]

Here’s a Moria Orc
… as designed by the cool kids at Weta Workshop, using a solid black Photoshop brush, thickness keyed to stylus pressure. So it’s my first fully digital black and white piece posted in these here parts. The reference source is a screen capture of one of the Orcs surrounding the Fellowship just before the appearance of the Balrog in Moria.

Harloth Graf, Naboo Guard
Here’s a portrait of Harloth Graf the Naboo Guard in the Star Wars RPG Sabredart campaign I posted earlier, using Photoshop to pencil and paint the piece. I wish I had a better photo reference of player Stu Cunningham for it, though. Close enough, Stu? Or more work needed? 😉 Click on the image below to expand:

Illustration Friday time again, and this time the topic is Night.

Illustration Friday: Remote
Not just remote, but cold, lonely and desolate as well.

Illustration Friday: Cold
Another Illustration Friday entry, with the subject title “Cold”. How could a person be sent out walking the plank in his shorts in space? With the closest star being just a faraway glow, our friend here should be in quite a cold spot. Medium: Digital painting.

Illustration Friday: Lost
My first Illustration Friday submission for 3 weeks and I’m late for it. It’s almost time for the next topic to come up. This week’s topic is “Lost”… and there’s only one thing that came up in my mind when I heard of the topic: One of my favourite TV shows on the air right now. Media: Digital painting using […]

Voyage of the Flying Couch
Here’s a single piece of artwork that I came up on a whim in about 2 hours. A girl’s adventures to faraway lands on her flying couch. Imagine the possibilities. Maybe there’s an actual story to be written there somewhere, and made into a book. I shall ruminate on it on my armchair.

Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Hero
Apart from Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Hero, the second of three books released by The Game Mechanics, being released and on sale at RPGnow.com, I’ve also took my old gallery at Geocities, modified it, gave it a proper banner, updated some details and relocated it here at Hishgraphics.com. The Hishgraphics Gallery can be found at http://www.hishgraphics.com/gallery. In the meantime, here […]

Illustration Friday: Escape
Escape is the topic of this week’s Illustration Friday. Two convicts sneak out stealthily of a watery tunnel near a prison from which they’ve just broken out. All they have to do is make it undetected into the woods. But how will they avoid from being beamed by a searchlight?

Illustration Friday: Depth
Another Illustration Friday, another illustration. The topic for this week is depth. I’m trying add another layer to the concept of depth in this piece of artwork. Desolation? Fear of the unknown? What are those doing in the bottom of the ocean? How did it come to pass? An illustration somewhat less colourful and more morose than the art I […]

Illustration Friday: Roots
Here’s a quick one using Photoshop, a whole lot of solid layers and brushes, a bit of colour dodge. It’s nothing profound and nothing I’m trying to say. It’s just a graphic tablet exercise without any pre-planned sketches off or on the computer.

A Raging Sea
Here’s something I cooked up rough and fast using Artrage: a digital oil painting of a boat not remotely having the best of days.

Illustration Friday: Dreams
One of my dreams as a child was to be an astronaut and explore the solar system. For Illustration Friday, for the topic “Dreams” I wondered what an astronaut, during a high-stress space walk, would dream about. Here’s something I came up in the last hour. Click on the thumbnail below to view a larger sized version of the image. […]
