Salamander

And so the year is gone... It was a very prolific year. I produced a lot and learned a lot also. I`d like to thank everyone who ever commented or read something around here. Your support is very important for me to keep going.

The only sad note of the year is that my father passed away last week and left a hollow in my life that will never be filled. I`ll miss you a lot Dad. This post is for you!

Mercenary

Hi friends! This time it`s a Mercenary on the hunt. Entirely on Photoshop. See ya!

Head Study

Hi there! This is a digital painting I did based on an old oil study (see blog banner). I tried to finish it within 1 hour at the most so I could concentrate on design and brushstroke shapes without getting too much into detail and not polishing too much. All the best!

Cargo Ship

I decided to try painting the previous drawing as an exercise. It took me a couple of hours and here`s the result. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed doing it!

Ship

This is just a study of silhouettes to find some interesting shapes and ideas without having anything specific in mind.

Android

I always loved Sci-Fi movies, so I just wanted to give it a shot with a sexy droid. See ya next post!

Digital Painting: Hunter
