So… it’s been awhile, to say the least. Wow, almost exactly a year. Sorry about that, though there isn’t really any followers to this blog- so not like anyone missed it.

The main reasons to why I haven’t updated this blog in such a long time is that I’ve been very busy with school, graduation, and now work. Secondly because I simply haven’t had anything to update the blog with really.

So- anywho, heres some stuff. Enjoy :D

  1. Terra – An abstract concept thing I did just for fun, which turned out pretty well, with my “new” graphitint pencils. They are kinda like watercolors.
  2. Skull Study – Another thing I did with my graphitint pencils. This one was more like a quick sketch with the pencils, which I then applied water to for added effect. Turned out cool.
  3. Wings of Dissolution – A school assignment. This is a print from a linoleum carving (google it), so it’s a more complicated installation than it may look.
  4. The One Truth - Acrylic painting, based on the theme of “truth”- the one truth being the inevitable destruction, ending, death of all and everything.
  5. The Veil - Oil painting on death, souls and afterlife. The relationships to ones you’ve lost and the power of their never fading touch on your soul.
  6. Blueberry Box Design – Design for a tea box. It’s blueberry flavored (in case you’re colorblind). Supposed to be a realistic design for a very popular brand of tea, and fit for a modern, “to-day”, application in a market store.
For a more in depth view and description on all of these artworks, go ahead and have a look on my deviantArt Gallery.

That’s you, my friend. *WIP*

Work In Progress

*Updated – 19/2*

This is my friend Edde trying his best at looking Emo *haha*. I recorded this while drawing and uploaded it on youtube with x800 speed, like a fun speedpaint video.

The Deverry Cycle, Act I; Thoughts and Tribute

Deverry Cycle Daggerspell CoverThis is a tribute to the greatest writer of whom I’ve had the pleasure to read from during the last year and a half. This is to Katharine Kerr.

Katharine Kerr is mostly known for her today fifteen parts long book series called the “Deverry Cycle”, a “high fantasy” tale with strong influences from Anglo-Saxon and Celtic culture. And this is a tribute and a contemplation, if you will, of the first four books in the series, also known as the “first act”. For this book series, and especially the first two books in the series (Daggerspell and Darkspell), have left a special mark on my heart. They have opened my eyes for a kind of Fantasy I did not realize existed, and with its great writing and lovely characters that left me feeling nothing else but pure fan love for this now twenty-six years old book series.

Sketchbook 10.July 01

Some more stuff, enjoy <3

And just a quick note on the first image, it’s an anatomy practice I did, and I started out by drawing to this as reference. So I’d like to thank StudioQube for that awesome guide, it helped me out a lot. So the first two drawings to the left on the first image (the one with naked dudes in blue lol xD) are drawn straight from his tutorial as reference.

But while drawing those two first I studied the layout of the body and muscles and such, and the two others (the leg and the guy standing on his hand) are both drawn from mind using what I learned from that quick practice. Someone who’re skilled in Anatomy, like my masterful friend Dile, will notice that the muscles don’t sit or stretch realistically on those… because I’m a beginner at this stuff.

But I’m waiting for my copy of Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogarth, the one book of figure drawing and anatomy, so when I receive that I’m going to submerge myself in Anatomy studies.

Have a nice day, and again, hope you enjoy!

Update: I added a better version of the male anatomy picture that I had made black and then sharpened, because I noticed it was a bit too faded in blue.

Spacecraft Concepts

This is a longer concept series I started recently of designs for spaceships to a single race. It started out with the “Heavy Fighter” and then it grew from there, I had pretty much defined the unique style and core concept of the ships after I had done the “Crusier” ship (Which ofc should be “Cruiser” but my spelling sucks).

Sketchbook 10.May 02

Okay, here’s the latest update in my sketch book! Not much this time tho, because honestly I haven’t really done much lately. Hopefully I’ll have more for next time. And if you wonder why two of the images have a dull bluish color (Ceil Blue), that’s because it’s the background I draw against to minimize eyestrain, and because they are just sketches I haven’t taken the time to change the background color, because then I would have to “resharpen” the lineart to fit against the new background, which is more work than it sounds like actually.

As always, enjoy!
