Magic the Gathering – Angel of Flight Alabaster

I have really been looking forward to releasing this painting. Another piece from last year that I have been waiting for the Innistrad release. This image is a little different than the one printed, it doesn’t have the spirits in the background. I liked this version better, I felt it kept the focus more on the character.

This image is also available in my new store, as a limited edition print!

Dungeon Cover – Venca

Here is a cover I did a while back that I haven’t put on my site yet.  It was for Dungeon Magazine.  When painting something that doesn’t exist, it helps to construct something that you can light and use as reference to at least have a basis in reality.  So, below the image of the cover is a shot of a little maquette that I made along with some rough steps I put in to give me a better place to start the painting.  James Gurney is a wonderful source of inspiration for such things, I hight recommend his book Imaginative Realism.
