Here is an extended article about Guillermo Del Toro and his many projects. "At the Mountains of Madness" is explored near the end and mention is made of part of the preproduction team (Wayne Barlowe, Peter Konig, Guy Davis and myself are mentioned) Working at Lightstorm with this particular team was an incredible experience and one that taught me a great deal. I was a total newcomer to the preproduction process but rapidly fell in love with the insane schedule and the team environment.

This is Tallow. His form was inspired by, if you haven't guessed, a candle flame. A warm up this morning before I start working. Working today is drawing more creatures.

Sunday is apparently "Blogging is more fun than cleaning my studio" day. Here's a bit more of this piece. I made some progress over the Holidays. Graphite on arches.

A digital paint of the Briar Prince done for Night Shade Books...

She first manifested to me as a mockery of nurture and need...an embrace, made more horrible by the knowledge that she was feeding on herself, waiting to be summoned...which I had just done.

...and the digital paint of the Nethermire sketch from below

Here are a few images from MTG that have been released and one version of Grisswell(Next to last image) the Demon from TWK.

Kasteel...he lives in the same space as TomBow from below. actually I think "TomBow from Below" is the full name of the bird headed character posted earlier.

This is "Sebaath: the Maw". She is a living portal to the abyss. A mouth always open, always hungry...

Here's a quick little dragon done for a friend, just to get the blog rolling into 2011.
