Ok, deep breath.

Such a busy 8 Months or so since I last blogged.  First and best news is that on New years eve my beautiful baby daughter was born. She instantly became my sun, moon and stars.
And now at 8 months she is wrecking the house. I am convinced its only a matter of time till I come home to find weetabix in the PS3!

Art wise  we have had few new births too . Images that have been pulled screaming out of me.

Esgaroth or the destruction of by Smaugh, was great image to depict, I think I learned a few things on this one.

The Viking Dead book cover was great to work on and I cant wait till it comes out. Viking Zombies! How cool is that!

And the we have the Troll  in the Kings Guard. I enjoyed this littel Character study.

I have a lot of other stuff to post  when I get the chance, some matte painitings, more covers and of course DRUSS, the psd file keeps calling me in my sleep , " come back , come back and finsh me..."   

Another update quite soon.

Till then in the words of the great Dave Allen ..

"Goodnight, thank you, and may your God go with you"

Hi Journal readers , yes all two of you.

I havent updated this Journal in awhile, so much has been going on I just havent had the chance. Relocation, Relocation.

Anyway,

Updates since  last time have been few and far between. But I did post up the Character study of the " Northern Knight ", pose is a bit stiff but I suppose he is wearing armour.

A environment study inspired by Macbeth, the Blasted Heath.

I still havent got round to finishing a Painting of Druss I started oh so many months ago now, but I am determined to finish it soon.

Anyway all the best and kepp it Coountry.

Hi journal readers,

Yes all three of you!

News for July I am honoured to have received GameArtisans.org Award of Recognition for my Dracula's Castle piece.


I haven’t posted much recently but I have been doodling away and I will post a couple of new pieces, one of them is a companion piece to The Fortress of Dros Delnoch painting I did, it features " Death walker" himself.

That’s it for now, art dump coming soon.

HI all,

Wow I am so chuffed to have one my images * Cavern Base Flight Deck * chosen as a DD. I didnt even notice till today, I was wondering why my page views and messages shot up.

So yes Dracula's Castle, This was a fun image created for a friendly competition on CA. I spent a couple of relaxing evenings working on it.

Anyway big thanks to everyone who has commented on or faved any of my work its really appreciated.

More to come soon,

G.

WOw time is passing quickly almost May and the begining of summer!

There never seems enough time anymore, so many books to read, places to go, movies to see.....

I just posted in my gallery  a study of a subway station, one of those grimy ones you get in less affluent areas of a city.

I think the image is abit stale and not a very exciting piece, more an exercise, so I have decided to smash it up a bit and do a paint over, add a monster ripping it apart! WIll post soon.
