Luthien

Autumn in the Snowflake Mountains

Finally managed to find some time for concept paintings.

It was supposed to be the Edificant Library, but as I read through the first book of Cleric's Quintet and more descriptions were provided I realized that the library looks like anything but this.

Here is the Autumn in the Snowflake Mountains instead.

Well It was a good fun anyway!

'Edges of Erebor'

Thranduil's Scount at the 'Edges of Erebor' :

Painitng exploring the environments of lands at the edges of Erebor. Created for Forodren Auth.

Wip's here

Portriatis

Two portraits. Finally. I haven't tried any for a longer while.


One I am quite happy with:

 

And guess what? One that I am not happy with:

Feedback most appreciated.

Environment Concept

Here is another concept environment:

Lúthien Tinúviel

Here is a quick b&w drawing of  Lúthien :

Noldorin Scout

Here is my most recent piece. I have decided to try to make an illustration for Tolkien's Silmarillion. It was supposed only to stimulate the imagination without revealing the plot.

 That's an illustration of an elven Noldorin scout in Ered Lómin:

And a close up:



Finally, I attach two links:

Environment Speed-paintings

Two speed paintings of environments- forest and a forgotten worship place for some cultist located in a valley nearby a modern city.

Nidhwal

I decided to try concepting a sea monster from 'Inheritance'- a Nidhwal.
It was rather a quick activity than a finished painting

Here are my thumbnails:



And the conceptual painting:

Thumbnails1

Last night I practised thumbnailing.
I think it is my first attempt to do so- I decided to go for black and white, but at the end I added some colour accents.
I turned off the transfer and used only the standard brushes ( with different settings) and one self made custom brush. Majority of them started as scribbles and I just waited till something emerge from the 'random' lines.


Here are two smaller ones:

Firstly..... a flower!


Then a bird:






Two environments:

Battlefield:


Mountains:




And finally some characters:


Hunter:



Bard:



Witch Hunter



Sailor/Pirate:



Battlemage:




And finally an assassin:



I am quite happy with them, especially that they are just sketches and their creation process is really quick.
Moreover they introduce something fresh and new to my works.This 'style' just emerged from my random scribbles, although I am quite sure there are lots of people who already work in this style.

Environment Concept1

Here is another concept image. This digital painting show my concept of a town localised by an underground lake.

Here is a link to full- size image: Underground Laketown

This is a small scale version:
