I looked into the sky and saw
A truth written in quiet motion
The turning wheel rises and as it falls
It shows us what we've seen
A vision from beyond
no different than a vis...

I had a rougher version of this piece in color uploaded to the DB but I was worried about posting too many updates recently, so I sat on it until I had a chance to come back to this.
Man.
I took a second lap on this piece since after I made a couple of test prints. After getting some space from it (again), I was able to make some changes that I'm really happy with. Now, I'm going to be...

I wanted to take a second to make a clarification, since I've changed the description of how often I charge patrons.
Firstly, I'm not changing the way it works, I'm just c...

Refreshed from a short break after the Watchers series, I'm moving back in to creating more Seraphim.
If you look at the JPG I've added to the attachments of this post, you can see the vers...

It seemed fitting, that after the close of the last chapter of Angelarium, that I would paint a doorway. Through this portal lies the realm of the angels.

I made two major changes since the last post, so I wanted to share them since I was saying before that I was sailing towards finalizing the painting.
1. I rebuilt the gate itself in Sketchup to ...

Not much besides rendering now.
The main challenge for this piece was the composition. Without a central figure to moor the line of action, I didn't have a clear grasp on where to provide focus ...

At the time of the last update there were things that I knew I wasn't seeing. Aspects about this painting that I was confidently unhappy with. Giving myself some time away from it to get hungry to pai...

Doing environment pieces is a really intimidating prospect to me right now. On the positive side, some of my most popular Magic paintings were the few environments I did. It's something I have interes...

With the watchers complete and the production of the second book beginning. I'm finding myself between series. The big thing I wanted to accomplish during this time is to expand the space that the ang...

I've known that this would be the last piece in the series for months, so I've spent more time considering how I want it to look than any other piece in the series. That's dangerous. If your a creativ...

The last of the Watchers series marks the end of an era for me. A set of 20 unique characters designed to subvert people's expectations about angels. To cap things off, I've been planning on cre...

All hail,
First Born
Giver of Names
Father of Giants
Protector of the House of Man
Long shall be his days.
The detail work in this piece is either going to be impossibly fun or it's going to kill me. I'm starting to get in there and make some final marks on pieces here and there but I see more room to rend...

At a certain point in this process, I decided that I any time I came to a crossroads about what I should do, that I would side with whatever would be the most fun to draw. This angel represents the de...

Normally, I post a color version as the second update, but the way that the composition has filled out between now and when I made the first post is so dramatic, that I felt it deserved its own update...

Working on this guy has been intimidating. He is the king of the Watchers and the instigator of their tragedy.
Living up to what this piece needs to represent puts me in a tight spot. So many of...

As this piece is nearing completion, I'm a little nervous. It's concept isn't exactly easy to decode. Regardless, this is the piece I wanted to make, so I'm excited to be getting close to the point wh...

Okay, I lied. I really want to do this piece.
After playing around with some other sketch ideas, I really had to come back to the pieces that was most compelling. All I think it needed was a bit...
