Just in case you don’t have a costume yet, here you go! Just print out/cut. Add some blood smeared clothing, voila.

Fire!

Hey Gang,

people seem to like the process stuff (I know I do), so here is so more. This time a splashpage from VIKING issue 2. If you’re not reading it for shame!!

I really like painting/drawing fire, and in a book set without artifical light I have lots of oppurtunity.

Here is the final page, with PS tweaks and all.

the “pencils” if you will…

a closeup of the same….

 

Here comes the color…

starlord 1 process (sorta)

keeping on with the Starlord theme, I found some steps from what is probably one of my favorite covers I ever did.

1) was the sketch. since this was my first gig for marvel, I wanted the sketch to look super nice, colors and all. I usually only go this far with a sketch when I have really want to sell an idea instead of showing the client multiple options.
2)the concept of the “bruce willis” jumping & shooting was asked for and approved, but the sketch was very undynamic and left alot of useless negative space, so when going to the prelim drawing for the painting I worked this out.
3) the pencil drawing with PS “blocked in” colors. I used to do this before I go into painter.

Starlord

a starlord piece I did for the heck of it, during the time I painted the covers to the Annihilation Conquest:Starlord covers for Marvel.

test

When we started working on VIKING beginning of this year, I did a little test of colors, and a simple art style. I think it was just an excuse to draw this image I had in my head. here it is, un spectacular… but it has something.

hair.

My initial design for Egils haircut. it changed a bit after this design in the actual issues of VIKING, but I stayed with the mohawk… I still rather like this sketch.

Cap!

A few years ago, while visting my mate Marko, I painted a quick-isih captain America for fun. I don’t recall ever scanning it and showing it online, maybe I just forgot, either way here it is. Acrylic on paper.

Some Magic for you…

Here are some Magic the Gathering card Illustrations I did, I found them in the visual spoiler so it is ok to show them now

I used a combo of artrage/Painter 8 /CS2 to paint these, other then that they are pretty self explanatory, so I will just post the art/cards and sketches, if you have any questions drop a comment. They were super fun to do and hopefully time (and oppurtunity) will allow me to do more soon.

Black Annis

hey gang. heres a pinup I did for Mike Oemings Mice Templar. It shows the witch “Black Annis”, which accompanied an article in the back.

I also put the B&W ink piece next to for people who are interested.

The Tin Drum

A while ago the folks of mogamobo, , reissued their comic 100 meisterwerke der Literatur (100 masterpieces of Literature), where they asked comic artists to illustrate a Literary masterpiece in 8 panels. I got to do the Tin Drum by Günther Grass. and since I saw the book on the shelves this weekend I guess it is ok to show.
The book is a great idea and filled with cool pages so if you get a chance to pick it up, do so. the comics are without text also, so interesting to all native tongues
