Beyond the Cloudspine

Dominus — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:40:23 +0000

I've started this D&D Dungeon Master Shield last year but only recently I got some spare time to finish it. Five weary champions returning from a great battle... Oh, use this as a soundtrack.

The City

Dominus — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:09:55 +0000

As a tradition, my final post of the year is Thief related. The universe of Thief is centered mostly on a dense, sprawling metropolitan complex only known as "The City" so here is my vision of this industrialized and overgrown dystopian place, where magic and technology colide. I hope 2012 will be a very good year for everybody. Cheers!

Lady of Pain

Dominus — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:16:22 +0000

For those of you not familiar the D&D roleplaying game, this is my interpretation of The Lady of Pain - the fictional protector of the city of Sigil in the Planescape campaign setting. She is also known as Her Serenity, for the permanently vacant expression on her face, The Bladed Queen, or simply The Lady. She is an immensely powerful being who rules Sigil, the City of Doors; she is an entity of inscrutable motives, and often those who cross her path, even if accidentally, are flayed to death or teleported to one of her extra-dimensional mazes. (Print available here!)

Melancholia

Thanks Nine Inch Nails for providing the fucked up music I love, especially this song. This image couldn't have been created without this music. As a bonus, here's a hi-res wallpaper .

ECHO

Dominus — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 18:48:53 +0000

I've finally finished the cover artwork for a personal project that I'm working on, I'll post more info about it when it is finished, hopefuly soon. If you like the artwork you can also order it as a print from the menu above.

Aenigma

Dominus — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:03:30 +0000

This shadowy image came into my mind a few nights ago and haunted me until I've painted this, it took around seven hours in Photoshop, you can see the making of over here.

Nyx

Dominus — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 22:06:11 +0000

Time for another personal piece. In Greek mythology, Nyx was the primordial goddess of the night, a shadowy figure, she stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of personified gods of Sleep and Death.

Thanks Radiohead for providing the fantabulous background music.

This image recently received the 3D Total Excellence Award! Le awesome!

Also you can see the making of in the November 2011 issue of 2D Artist!

Eowyn

Dominus — Tue, 03 May 2011 22:35:23 +0000

Another lady, this time Eowyn from the Tolkien's masterpiece Lord of the Rings, created for the "Eowyn and the Nazgul" challenge on The Art Order. I tried not get influenced by any other artworks on the internet regarding Eowyn, just what I remembered from the books and from the movie of course, and what i've come up with is a little different from the typical battle scene, I've depicted Eowyn victorious over the decapitated body of the Nazgul's fell beast. I must confess I've chosen a static image also because I had limited time to do the painting, took about 4 hours, yet I tried to create a powerfull iconic image.

Red Sonja III

Dominus — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:20:11 +0000

The third lady from the series, took arround two hours to be born, since I've already had the color palette from the other two portraits.
