Waves

See? There doesn't always need to be action and it doesn't need to be perilous either. Can be just a tranquil panora... wait. Something went wrong there. I spoke too soon.
That guy in the boat was not supposed to be there. Something went wrong.

Seriously, I just added him because the square format of my work often leaves a lot of room and even though a landscape can be lovely or awesome, it's not me. I wanted  to make this beauty in the surf and had some room to spare, so why no...

Perilous Plants (XL)

Yes, another one. It's really impossible for me not to get all these weird associations when hearing "Jungle" and I can go on forever with the theme. This blonde explorer might not be that happy about it because, well, peril is not her thing. Yet, she's a trooper and will wrestle with anything art will throw at her. It's in her job description :)

Love Story (XL)

Better no swiping for the easily shocked :)

Just when he's about to propose the moon comes out. That's a bummer. Or not, if she likes werewolves, which I think might be the case, because I see her with them a lot.  
And it's not even Halloween yet. But who now really cares? Werewolves are werewolves all year round. In fact I have another one almost ready, so...be forewarned. And melt that silver into pointy things in a hurry, just to be safe.

Vampyre Kiss Too (XL)

You know, it's vampires. I like them. Always did. Probably the only creatures I don't mind a little blood with. However, not with this one. She's not there yet.
I remember someone had a t-shirt printed once, very long ago, with a portrait of Christopher Lee I did. Lee was the ultimate vampire lord really. No one has ever been a better Dracula in the movies.  No one has ever been more creepy than Klaus Kinski as Nosferatu. Gary Oldman came close in Bram Stoker's Dracula but still... 2021-05-08 07:49:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Observe Tribe (XL)

Yes, she finally found that lost tribe but I'm not sure if she's happy about her unique discovery. They seemed so friendly at first but then they just tied her to that bamboo pole and are carrying her to who knows what. Lets hope they'll not be eating her. They look like they're not from this earth so you never know what they're up to.

Do not swipe too far though, if you like things more modest :)

Veggie Vixen (XL)

I try to keep my work positive and light hearted but I do care a lot about larger issues. Like how humanity treats farm animals and how that industry is a huge source of pollution. It is hard to make appealing images without getting too preachy. I like this though. It's communicating my love for nature, animals in general and in this case farm animals specifically, as well as my love for the female form.
I actually turned vegetarian not too long ago while I would not have believed I would,...

Balcony (XL)

It is a great privilege when beauty decides to lighten up the grey monotony of urban construction and is not shy about it.

I probably should've spent more time on the urban background but the foreground was too interesting and high rises bore me quickly. Go figure :)

Vampire Kisses (XL)

Another Redo. I thought I'd finish it by May 1st but it turned out that that was a bit too optimistic. But here's something Vampiristic, which I know is liked by, at least, some of you  :)

Pretty difficult to make this sfw, really. The earlier version was just for Deviant Art and didn't need that kind of treatment at all but you can't do just the one platform. You need at least a handful  and all platforms seem to have a different audience. With some overlap, granted, but stil...

Couch Potato (XL)

I made the sketch way earlier and posted it for higher Tiers but it wasn't until last week that I finally managed to finish it.  As far as I can call it finished. I'm not sure. It seemed to be a pretty uncomplicated scene (and why not have one of those once in a while?) but it turned out it had surprisingly serious challenges nonetheless.
It might be that it doesn't have a real story except for the carnal anekdote. That might be too uncomplicated. It's more interesting to paint when a...

Mermaid Call (XL)

I found this in my WorkInProgress (WiP) folder and it has been there for many years. It looks quite different now but much better, so here it is finally. :D  I didn't do any mermaids recently so it is a nice change and as my loyal Patrons know; I like to change things up sometimes. Just for kicks and giggles as they say :D

Even though mermaids are mythical creatures they should look convincing enough and that's what the old setup in my WIP folder lacked. I just did not get where I ...

Eve (XL)

In case you were wondering about that comic that will be published soon with the French publisher Tabou-Editions and that I prepared for print last month or so; Here's the designated cover. It will get a whole different title in a different font in French and it might get a layout overhaul, but this is the basis and these are the main characters too, whose names probably will be different as well.

Stretched (XL)

Have you picked up on me having a real preference for the beauty and the beast theme? If not, you've probably not been here for long. Stick around and you'll find out. Werewolves, demons and all that are such a good contrast to the female elegance. And it doesn't even need to be wilder than this. As long as the wildness is obvious enough and the elegance elegant enough. I blame my heavy metal roots. I was influenced by pretty aggressive album covers from when they were still large enough and ...
