Hi everyone!
Doing personal work again between (or rather while) doing commissions. I'd like to keep this one simple, and will try to do the lineart rather quirky and playful instead of being precise and going for lines that just don't really happen organically in nature. It has been a long ti...
Hi everyone - found a name for the ship, it is called "Penumbra".
It travels the seas of grass as a merchant ship, where there are only the remains of old civilizations left. Its sail shows the banner of the Merchants guild of the nearby islands, and it mostly trades Ember from the chalk clif...
Hi everyone!
Just checking in to let you know that I'm still around :D
Currently there is a lot to do with commissions, but today on Sunday I took out some time to only draw my personal art.
The goal is to make the scene a sunset, and the sail should be the main point of attr...

Hi everyone!
This one will be a ship that sailing on a sea of long grass - as usual, the thing that still bugs me is the question of the weather and lighting. It will either be daylight and blue sky, or go in the direction of golden hour where the sun is just setting behind us. This would have...
Hi everyone! This one took longer than usual, I hope it was worth the wait though. I'd like to reach the effect that one gets intrigued and drawn towards the city. The thought of making the whole scene in a plain blue sky never really left me, but it makes sense to paint in different colors than ...

Hi everyone!
This one should feel vast and spacious, almost a bit like we're lost in the sea of sand. The rocks will most likely be rather dark and blueish, but I have yet to think about the sky. Maybe so it doesn't feel so out there, the wizard will be connected to the city in the distance, ...
Hi everyone!
The last few pieces grew a desire in me tp return to something clean and simple, which this one will be. Not only the lineart, but the composition as well - I want the piece to be able to "breathe".
It will give the opportunity to train rather muted colors, as such arid pla...
Hi everyone!
After getting back to my dayjob after the vacation, the art side moves more slowly. Yet the travels of our small wizard continue!
This piece made me overthink my lineart again, but maybe it isn't even a bad thing if I don't have a fixed pen that just always gets used to...
Hi everyone!
This new settlement carved out of stone is something that I didn't have the courage to try out for some time. Drawing rocks is rather hard - like trees or plants, there are so many different ones, yet they still can look "wrong" pretty fast.
Now that I see the piece without ...

Hi everyone!
The wizard is on his journey again through the hills, probably drawn by the smell of fresh bread as travelling can be rough. He usually gets all sorts of provisions from people, as he is skilled with mending things that were broken through his magic.
The new brush works pret...

Hi everyone!
The Wizard returns! Wanted to show you the not finished lineart already since I like that house so much. As you can see, the original sketch (sorry that it is so blurry, it was really small when I made it) has an angle that is showing us the scene from a way wider angle. Befor...
Hi everyone!
Kind of a change from the usual subjects, but I hope you still like it. Watching the stars has been a fascination of mine, oftentimes when going out with our dog I just stop in my tracks and gaze at the stars, imagining the distance and feeling so tiny that everything feels so...
Hi everyone!
This piece is absolutely misleading as a sketch - I'd like to make the whole thing in moonlight (not too bright) and a huge nightsky, which is something that I've been itching to do for a time now.
The design of the tower was a real pain, it took me about 8-10 tries until it...

Hi everyone! These chalk cliffs are usually home to families and have been in their possession for ages, continually being worked on while carving more rooms into the rocks.
As you can see, the piece undertook quite some changes with its colors regarding the rocks itself, which was the cent...

Hey everyone!
At first I wanted to wait until this piece is completely finalized, but this might take some more days to color it, which is why you see the lineart already. To be completely honest, I am not too convinced of its composition so far, but not every piece can be something t...

Hi everyone! A new piece with its composition being all over the place, but I liked the concept so much that I went with it. This will be a large chalk stone into which there has been carved a place to be called home. Red in the sketch is a cat as well as a flying kite, which should have a nice c...

These trees blossom once every 7 years. Their fruits carry a great healing power within them, which is why they have been protected since the moons were much younger.

Hi everyone! It has been a really busy week, which is why this took rather long, but that is not the only reason as you can see. As I really want to level up drawing rock textures, this piece came to life. There is definitely no shortage of training ground with this piece. Two things are still pr...

Hi everyone!
I'd like to become a bit more daring with the concepts and perspectives, as this is what fascinates me with art from other artists. For this, these stone pillars as natural rock formation are well fit, and yet there will still be enough trees and grass and everything good that...
"It is said that this Sea Stone emerged from the water in this bay when the Empress' son was born. In order to ensure his long and content life, the Empress had a temple built to house the stone. It has served as a beacon for sailors for years, and it continues to shine brightly as long as th...

Hi everybody! Currently in Northern Italy and taken by a commission, there was not too much time for a new personal piece. This will be the new one piece, yet the nature of the temple might be changed later down the line. I'd like to give this one an eerie feeling, maybe having the foreground in ...

As the first droplets of rain began to fall, the wizard hastened his steps homeward. The lantern on his stave cast a warm glow, illuminating the path ahead. In his mind, he envisioned the shelves of his cozy home, lined with old books and some curious artifacts that he picked up on his travel...

Hi everyone! This one will have a bit of a moodier setting - I love Summer Storms, or rather the feeling before they come in. The wizard will have small lantern that will light his way, which will hopefully nicely light up the leafs and grass in front of him.
This idea came to mind when I g...

Hi everyone! We are continuing the travels of the small wizard to another town between the hills. Sometimes I ask myself why these old villages were not always built on hills, but if there is no particular need to defend yourself, it is probably best to build the village where the rivers and cree...

Hi everyone!
This idea originally came to me when doodling around, and as I am currently almost finished with the third book of Lord of the Rings, I remembered Legolas "feeling the call of the sea", which gave me the base idea for this piece.
At first I feared that the blue hat will not ...
