Dragons flying around a temple on mountain top

Dragons flying around a temple on mountain top 

Two large dragons are flying around an old temple on top of a rugged mountain top. In the temple can be seen some soldiers and priests, who are making an offering to the dragons. The sun is setting and the moon has now become visible.

This fantasy image was painted in Photoshop during February 2014.

Mermaid on rock with friends
King Kong plane swatter

'King Kong plane swatter' was painted in july 2005. I suppose if I was to do it now (2010) I might pick a more dramatic angle,more film like,but then this angle does show the empire state building and king kong on top of it very clearly. The joke is easily to read flat on I suppose! I would paint the clouds to a better standard though.

'Mermaid on rock' was painted in dec 2008. I had painted an earlier one about a year previously but was never happy with that one. I'm sure I will revisit this subject in time for a repaint!

King Kong plane swatter
This digital illustration shows the famous monster, King Kong up on the Empire State building. In the film he is in battle with a number of small Biplanes. Here I have added a fly swat for Kongs defence against the planes, that would seem like irritating flies to him. The fork of lighting adds some drama and helps to show his form against the dark clouds. Painted in 2007.  

Mermaid on rock with friends
A mermaid is pictured sitting on a rock in the sea in this digital illustration. She is brushing away her long, red hair away from her eyes so that she can see her other sea friends, a crab, a dolphin and a seagull. Painted in 2008.

spider with fly having a picnic on web

SPIDER WEB PICNIC

This was painted in 2007 and is loaded with 'dark humour'. The fly is quite happy eating his sandwich and is offering some to the spider. It is difficult to say if the spider will have some sandwiches for lunch, or have the fly for lunch. I experimented in this image of painting the background out of focus, like a photograph of a real spider on a web.

from the website...
This is perhaps a slightly frightening image to youngsters and is quite dark in its tone. The fly is having a little, sweet picnic on a spiders web. The large spider has appeared on the web and it is up to the imagination of the viewer what happens next. Does the fly get eaten or does the spider join in the picnic? I have gone for a very flat on, unrealistic perspective here, basically for styling and clarity in the image. I particularily enjoyed painting the food! The background was painted out of focus as if seen through a camera. The painting is created in photoshop to a size of 10" x 8".
