Kelpie
It´s never to early to start celebrating Halloween with some eery art. I hope you enjoy this Kelpie prowling the misty shores.
Siren – Sketch
I´ve been working on a Siren this weekend really enjoying myself. Since my schedule is quite tight atm and I´m not sure when I´ll get around to finish it I wanted to share the sketch with you. I hope you enjoy this jellyfish-haired lady of the depth!
Friends
This Illustration was done ad my entry into the Discover your Duo HTTYD contest on DeviantArt. The interaction between the baby Gronckle and the Crimson Goregutter where my favorite comic relieve in the Hidden World and the sheep make my day every time they show up. I hope you enjoy the artwork! ;)
Nuru and Aki
Hi guys, today I wanted to introduce you to Aki and his tiny big sister Nuru. These two unlikely siblings will go on a long journey to safe their rain forest nation from the Serpent´s life draining powers and the forest spirits will guide them on their way through the thick twilight forest. I added a step by step break down to give you a glimpse into my process. Hope you enjoy the character illustration. :)
Tree Concept Art

A hot sunny day, a deep lush forest and a rare elusive questing beast that lives among the trees. Hope you enjoy! This artwork is available as a print on Society6, Inprnt and DeviantArt.
Hound
Even hell hounds want a belly rub sometimes. Hope you enjoy this illustration. :)
Dragon
Hi all, today I wanted to share a dragon illustration. This happy guy has found/made himself a nice scorched place to take a nap in. ;) This artwork is available as a print on Society6, Inprnt and DeviantArt.
Character Illustrations – Cradle of Night – Pathfinder
Hello everyone, I wanted to share some character illustrations I have done for Pathfinders Cradle of Night. I had a lot of fun working on these!
Team Play
Hello everyone! This is a recent personal work I wanted to share. Anyone ever noticed how much manatee noses look like the ghosts from Pac Man? ;)
The Serpent
Hi guys, I wanted to share a recent illustration and concept art with you. This is the Serpent! The final boss for a game project. This fallen spirit creature likes to consume souls, and when he does he will grow a new tail based on the soul he has consumed, leaving him eternal bound to some pretty evil ladies. I hope you enjoy the illustration as well as the concept art.
First Snow
Finally I got a chance to finish up this piece. I hope you enjoy it. It´s based on a sketch I´ve posted a while back. Now that I´m settled down in Montreal I got around finalizing it. I really enjoy the broad lion face so I decided to deviate from the original Manticore design.
Sketching
Late night sketching…
Creatures
Elementals – Pathfinder
Since last summer I have the pleasure to work with Paizo on Pathfinder parallel to my master studies. As bigger projects go time passes between the creation of artworks and the actual release. So now I can share some of my first Illustrations with you. :) I worked on a set of four elementals and a golden wolverine for Paizo´s upcoming Summon Monster Pawn Collection. I´ve included my original sketches as well as some work in progress. After the first sketch iteration we decided to change the elementals proportions to make them bigger and more massive.
Morning Stroll
Finally I got to finish one of my own Illustrations again and it has been quite some time since I last worked on an Asian dragon. So here we go. :) This one was a lot of fun to work on. I challenged myself to work with saturation to create contrast instead of color contrast. So the entire picture is done in tones from yellow to red and the shadow areas are simply lower in saturation. At the beginning I had a different design for the horns but found them rather boring and decided to go with ram horns instead….
Frozen Silence – Sketch
Kelpie Steed
I have always found the idea strange that the northern water horse aka kelpie is supposed to look like an actual horse. Everyone who has crossed a river on horseback knows they can swim but they aren´t the best swimmers in the world and horses hate walking through muddy areas where their thin legs sink deep into the ground. I like the idea of him being a real aquatic predator, webbing between his clawed hands and feet, covered with scales and using his strong fish like tale to propel himself through the water like a crocodile in search for prey….
Griffin Illustration
Today I want to share my newest illustration Griffin Mom with you. Remember if you ever find a huge nest with big blue eggs, don´t just walk up on it. Momy might be just around the corner. ;) Hope you like it! Below I added some steps for you, so you can take a closer look at my work in progress.
