Some unfinished works that I didn't have the heart to finish.

The Vûûk: Size Chart

Just a little something to break up those Redwall portraits.

This is a Vûûk, commonly known as Lava Ammonites, that dwelling in the volcanic islands on my fantasy world, Dahllol. They are filter feeders, shifting the nutrients pushed up from the earth’s core, and are in turn preyed upon by the Okslann Deep (Lava Mosasaur)

Blimey! Painting that shell was boring. Haha!

Badrang the Tyrant Portrait

I think Badrang is just pleased he actually looks like a stoat this time (yes, I'm looking at you, crappy TV cartoon character design - seriously? A Black 'stoat' that look more like an mishapen canine?-)


Would have been nice if didn't have to re-paint this halfway through thanks to Photoshop crashing. That'll teach me not to save regularly.

It also would have been nice that, while painting this, I didn't have a nightmare of this character burning me alive on a pyre...

Ungatt Trunn Portrait

Back in 2010 I painted this monstrosity.

Urrrhh! *scrapes hands* unclean unclean! (but nice to see I actually have improved since then)

I have decided its about time that I re-painted it. Plus, I'm still in the Redwall mood from the last painting.
Above is the first fella, Ungatt Trunn. One of only two warlords to successfully invade and occupy their target.

He's a Scottish Wildcat (as in the books he was described as coming from the "Cold North" so he has that tartan wear and woad dye (but that's relevant for in the book he was Master of the Blue Hordes, who dyed their fur blue)... He also has an obsession with spiders...

Mattimeo Poster

 I felt the need to get my previous painting printed to a glossy poster...and an excuse to try out Artflakes quality (could have gone for a smaller, less expensive size...meh! *shrug*)
It printed out darker than the original painting, but that's to be expected on a glossy 'photo' paper.

Just A Little Speed Paint

Just a little speed paint of a character from the book featured in the previous post.

Mattimeo Book Cover

Not a real book cover, a fan-made one...

It feels good to be plunging into some Redwall art, like visiting an old friend. Must be how John Howe feels when he gets a Lord of the Rings painting.

Slagar has that metal thing on his nose because I figured he’d need to, you know… BREATHE with relative ease. Having a blooming silk mask over your face is surely stuffy, not to mention suffocating, making it hard to breathe when kidnapping children. I’m also playing Final Fantasy VI so Kefka’s outfit had an impact with Slagar’s costume.
I think in the book, Ironbeak is never described as having a metal helmet, but thanks to the cartoon adaptation I shall always picture him with such. Obviously if this was a real cover commission I wouldn’t have a helmet, so fan-boys get off my case!
