A Sacrifice for Dagon

This is my latest painting. It is inspired by the Cthulhu myth of HP Lovecraft as well as a little homage to the golden age of fantasy illustration and of course inspired by representatives like Frazetta or Vallejo and some others. It is based on a pencil sketch from one of my sketchbooks (last picture).



in my Sketchbook:

Joan of Arc

This is my interpretation of Joan of Arc. I'm not a believer, but she was. It's my entry to a contest by 3d total. It's a mixture of 2d and 3d techniques.

Some details

Alicanto

A mechanical, gold-seeking Alicanto bird made by a dwarf smith... or something like that. 😆 Digital painting in Photoshop over a scanned pencil sketch.

Flora & Fauna

This very high-rise painting is used as starter of the chapter 'Flora & Fauna' in the book 'Das Dornenreich'. The upper area is used for the title. The book is a regional guide for the pen and paper game 'The Dark Eye' ("Das Schwarze Auge") by Ulisses Spiele.

The Kadi

He's kind of a judge. It's the last character I've made for the regional guide "Das Dornenreich" for "The Dark Eye" RPG (Das Schwarze Auge) by Ulisses Spiele.

I'm also giving you a little insight into my process here.

Beer Pixy - "Broxkel"

A commission for "The Dark Eye" (Das Schwarze Auge) Pen & Paper game by Ulisses Spiele.

He's a little pixy who likes to nestle in brew kettles. His beard consists of beer foam and he is well over 1000 years old.

Sculptjanuary 2019 Contributions

The year started very productive for me, because I took part in the Sculptjanuary 2019 one more time.

The last time I took part was in January 2017. It is a competition in which artists who work sculpturally receive a new theme every day of the month, which they then convert into modelled form, analogue or digital.

Because of too much work and 3 days at the toy fair in Nuremberg I was not able to finish all 31 entries for Sculptjanuary19 satifactorily. Nevertheless, I am proud of the 26 pieces that I have created this month.

Here are my contributions:
