The headless creature was done for a friend, not sure why he wanted it without a head.

This is a poster i did for....myself, It still needs refining but I'm lost with the background and its hard to get motivation to complete.
(sorry about the shaby join I did, its A2 (4xletter) and wasn't as easy to meld as expected)

Damned beautiful technically, and very scary to look at (the poster's very pale though). That has to have eaten up several hours of concentration and nit-picky work

Awesome, I love the attention to detail.
You MUST finish this!

Great thing about digital art as opposed to pencil: you don't ever smudge it with your hand by accident!

Onbe thing though, if I were you I'd really try to resist the temptation to draw objects like the weapons side-on to the viewer. See how much better the squatting orc's (goblin, or whatever he is!) raised axe looks than either his punch dagger, the sleeping adventurer's sword, or the slung axe on the back of the sneaking orc? It has a lot more depth and realism because it is at an angle to the viewer.
Just my opinion though; it's a great image and I think that your imagination and style are amazing.

Cheers, A.

Lukias,
Never fail to impress eh?! That second drawing is brilliant! The painstaking technicality and detail blow me away. In particular, the seat of the creature riding the beast is f**king clifftastic! You've pulled off the emerging, morphing faces so well I did wee mylelf....I'd love to see it finished.
Can you please blow up the guy rounding the rock in front of the beast, I wanna see him close up too, I wanna, i wanna.
Are you planning to ever work up and colour any of your pics with PS or etc?....Keep 'em coming anyhoo!

Your second picture is very interesting; the knight looks a bit like it's in the style of medieval drawings... it might be interesting to render that one in the style of a stained glass window.

I agree.

Cool Lukia!
I realy like that 2nd pic very scary and imaginitive stuff. Reminds me a little of the Melting Pot comic from Keven Eastman and Simon Biz but with a midevil twist.

Yeah I was gonna say that also, The knight is very classic looking. Like he belongs on a Fresco or a Tapestry. Way cool drawings Lukias.

Cool, reminds me of some Hieronimus Bosch paintings. Been influenced by that?

boy, that one needs color - very imaginational! I love the guy on the quadruple and the lizard tongue above the knight

Gecko - Thanks and yeah its very pale, more so when viewing it here, I have to push myself to darken things up.

A - thanks. Smudging...never

. The side on thing, yeah I suppose its lazyness, foreshortening swords & the like can be hard & hasn't turned out as planned in the past.

Glueman - Thanks for the comments.....You sound very much like someone I know..?

Maxwell & LordArioch - thanks and cool idea, your talking beyond me though, I wouldn't know where to start.

Shadowman - thanks. Melting Pot....rings a bell, one of many comics mentioned on this site I've gotta check out.

Flexible - Thanks. Fresco?

kardis - thanks - I havn't posted my weird stuff yet! (probably won't....its pretty twisted) digital rendition...naa not this one
your talking mission tedious

Jaymo - thanks - Hieronimus Bosch??? Is there a site i could look at?

Solitaire - Thanks for the comments

Hey can anyone give me a hand with the top guys back leg, i've been getting a tad frustrated with the perspective, hints or a blatant fixit job would be dandy

Thanks everyone!

He was a dutch painter around 1500 i think. Site? Hmm. Just did a small google.com search on "Hieronymus Bosch", lots of hits. Lots of bad scans, too, though. Some of the better:

Ok, so you are NOT inspired by Bosch...

Have a look, he did pretty interesting, weird art.

Nice!! It is obvious there are atleast 3 pictures in th big one. You might want to erase the lines where you joined the pictures. The talent around here is certainly growing.

Jaymo - That dude took a few to many mushrooms, he's got a very lively imagination (to say the least). Is that surrealism/symbolism? (I like to pretend I know what I'm talking about).

Thanks for the links, he's really interesting.

Kimzoll - Thanks - have slowed down alot actually (I become very negative). NZ is chuffs the most per head in the world..... theres a useless fact for ya.

Dives - thankyou & yes there is 3
