Dragon Walking With Lamp Fantasy - digital painting

A friendly dragon assists a traveler during a trip through a dark forest at night. He is holding a lamp so that the bearded man on the cart, being pulled along by some other fantastical creature, can see their way safety through the hazardous forest.

This digital painting was done during December 2016. It is drawn/ painted within 'Auto Sketchbook Pro' software with some additional work done in Photoshop, mainly extra textures applied in some areas, and for final colour grading.

Winter scene with castle - digital painting

 This small (960 x 1280px) picture was digitally painted as a small project on my Samsung Galaxy tablet using the  'Auto Desktop Pro' art app. The programe responds to pen pressure input through the tablets built in 'Wacom' pressure sensitive screen, enabling painting on the device. The only part done outside of the app was when the image was exported and placed in Photoshop where the type was added on a PC. I have used the app for some sketching from life outdoors during the summer and sometimes for roughing out ideas, where the image would be exported to Photoshop to be refined in to a finished painting. This example is the first time that a painting has been finished (as much is practical) on the tablet. 
The scene was not expected to be a Christmas card for followers on social media, but as it was finished a few days before and had a suitable subject, it was made so.

Planet Castle On Arch - digital painting

Planet Castle On Arch - digital painting

 

 This digital Sci-Fi illustration was painted in Photoshop from a basic sketch done in 'Auto Sketchbook' running on an android device. The scene features an alien planet landscape with strange rock like formations that rise-out of the ground like half of an arch formation. Some of them are very large. On one of them a castle has been built on one of them which has now fallen in to disrepair. In the foreground is a local resident on a cart which is being pulled along by some strong, horned beast. On the back of the cart is a cargo of red, egg like objects. The sun is setting on this peaceful landscape and the driver takes no notice of the castle that's been there seemingly for ever and quietly rots. The image was created in July 2016.
