Exploring the darkness for light.

From an early age, I’m talking some 45 years ago I have loved anti gravity or floating objects, the larger and heavier the better.

A return to the Egyptian theme

For this one I chose a story from Exodus as the background to the ideation and narrative.

Bithiah was an Egyptian princess and the daughter of a Pharaoh according to The Old Testament. Although the name of her father is not stated in Exodus, it is specified he was a Pharaoh.

What lay beyond the mountains is unclear, a vast avenging army, a dragon beast looking for its next kill, maybe we are on the wrong side and amongst strangers, possibly the enemy. One thing is clear, we are high up, it’s freezing and we are hungry…let’s explore!

Personal work. Late afternoon summer vibe.

Stage 1. Working towards a new style. Where I created brushes for textures and map painted more then I useully do in Photoshop. Making a more comic style. Inspired by Love Death Robots and Spiderverse. See the images for the process. Hope you like the first outcome.

Fitting as I’ve just retired, sold the family home and embark on a new chapter with my wife

I painted this one last night. Sketched it in Sketchbook Pro and finished the rendering in Procreate.

Looking for inspiration, I came across images from another artist on ArtStation. A nice image of a monolith hovering over a bleak landscape. I quickly set about creating my own scene that sees ships leaving Earth to a new hope.
