Pit of Giant Insect Monsters

Pit of Giant Insect Monsters

This digital illustration was created during the summer of 2013, and painted in photoshop to A3 size.

Pictured is a man, looking out of place and dressed in rags, on the edge of a cliff in a barren, rocky landscape. A large green humanoid creature, dressed as a savage and sporting a large wooden club, is preventing him from moving away from the cliff to safety and teasing him for amusement. It is enjoying the idea of the human falling to his fate over the cliff, and into the jaws of giant, crawling insects awaiting their next meal. Maybe it will add the skull to its necklace!

White Doves using a Dovecote

White Doves using a Dovecote 

 

This Oil painting illustrates a white painted Dovecote, with a number of Doves using it. The Dovecote is mounted on a wooden pole and was located in a field in Hampshire, UK. The roof is made up of a few pieces of corrugated metal and the wood sides are in desperate need of a repaint, though it seems popular with the Doves, walking in and out of the small openings built in.

It is painted on a canvas board measuring 10” x 12”, and took an afternoon to do, painting wet in to wet. The image is painted on to a red acrylic base, to help give the oil colours something to bounce off.
