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 […]

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.
Continue readingA 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.
Continue readingIllustration 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 […]
Continue readingIllustration Friday: Reflection
After two straight weeks of cheerful pieces based on the titles given by Illustration Friday, I present to you something that’s on the other end of the scale. Here’s this week’s Reflection. Hope you like it. Or not. Medium: Digital painting
Continue readingIllustration Friday: Wisdom
Someone with great wisdom would be revelling in relaxation, high above the hustle and bustle of the tedium of mediocrity that is the life of regular people. Medium: Physical 2B pencil, with digital colours.

GenCon Indiana will be on later this week at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis. That’s when The Game Mechanics will be launching Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Foundation, a game supplement for d20 Future. Where my professional artwork in the game industry will be published. The document will be an e-book […]
Continue readingIllustration Friday: Empty
My first Illustration Friday piece, with the title Empty. I had a bunch of concepts for this, but somehow I took the easy way out and just painted a somewhat empty room.
Continue readingIllustration Friday
Last week Lilian brought my attention to Illustration Friday. It’s a website that posts an idea for an artwork every week, and links the artwork you made in that particular week. Sounds like a great exercise for me and the Wacom. According to the Welcome page: Illustration Friday is meant […]
Continue readingMy Faux Star Wars TV Promo
A new Star Wars TV show? Sadly, no. Yesterday, as I was monkeying around with Painter, I remembered that once I thought of making a opening credits-type of video of my IRC Star Wars RPG gaming group, Sabredart. So I figured, why not just do a storyboard for the credits. […]
Continue readingA Banyan Tree
More scratchings with Painter Classic using the tablet, with some highlighting using Photoshop. This barely resembles a real banyan, since I drew this without any references. Note to self: use more references if you don’t actually remember what things look like.
Continue readingA Spider-Man Portrait
I saw Spider-Man 2 again today. The movie version of the Spidey costume is quite rich and detailed in texture, yet true to its comic-book origins… As before I wondered how a student / freelance photographer, making barely enough as it is, is able to afford to come up with […]
Continue readingValley Orchid
It’s not much to look at, but there’s something that barely looks like an orchid in the picture below. No, I don’t know which species it is, only that it’s yellow. And yes, there’s a water-filled valley beneath it. This is my second piece using Painter Classic, scratched out with […]
Continue readingArise, New Graphics Tablet!
The other cool stuff I bought the same day I bought the table is this Wacom Graphire 3 graphics tablet. In fact, I’ve been wanting it for many years now that when I finally have it in my hands, I didn’t have the heart to remove it from its box […]
Continue readingTales of the Prototype and the Table
Last week, we printed out some of the prototype pages for the first ever Hishgraphics e-book. To be honest, prior to this I do have a fair amount of doubts about the project. In my mind, I estimated that perhaps this would have a 20-30% success when it’s eventually released […]
Continue readingThe Cliff In My Mind’s Eye
So after drawing a dozen or so robots and a couple of cyborgs for a freelance client, I thought I’d take a break and draw a quick pencil sketch of this seaside landscape which real estate value would no doubt be way over my head should the location exist. I […]
