Abaddon Ukiyo-e


Abaddon, Lord of Chaos, and the main villain of the PS2 game, Primal

I had a lot of fun with that line work and trying to write/paint Abaddon's name in Japanese (don't butcher me if I've got it wrong! I used Google Translate) The script in the background are quotes from the game put through the translator, but you can't really read it.

NOTE: I don't know how to do translucence without killing the picture quality, so that light blue/grey is meant to be invisible.

Pike Bait / Ol' Abbaron



Nothing like a online contest to get those art juices flowing.
This is my first, real, attempt to add colour onto a black and white painting. It turned out a lot better than so of the other attempts in the past.

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.
