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 Photoshop, with image references from screencaps of season 1 episode 4 “Walkabout”. Click on the image on the right to expand it.

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.
Continue readingIt’s Ramadhan
Starting today, I’m fasting for 30 days from dawn til dusk. A happy Ramadhan to all readers, and happy fasting to all Muslim readers. Sahur this morning, before dawn, we had rice with eggs and cabbages, while watching the Smallville season premiere, as Irfan slept. I have an idea for another book, after looking at a random picture on deviantArt… it would be about kids spending the night camping, and the whole story would take place at night. The blues and the grays of the picture I saw was compelling. Now to come up with an actual story, suited for kids. Childhood camp-outs are awesome. By the way, I updated some large artwork into my deviantArt page. Yeah, I have a deviantArt page. I left it untended for exactly a year and a month. I’ll be uploading large-sized images there and link them from there, or elsewhere, to save on […]

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 are three four of the artwork from Future Players’ Companion, Volume 2. Click on… to view them.

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 made for the e-book posted previously. Medium: Painter Classic

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. Media: OpenCanvas, augmented by PhotoShop.

Illustration 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

Illustration 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.

Illustration 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.
