Freaking cool Dusty!

[keith_v]

Really beautiful painting. Great use of reds in the face.

[Dahami]

The style reminds me of the concept art of the LotRO orcs. Something about the way the eyes and color is handled.

[El Jeremie]

Cool stuff. Really creepy.

I have to say, its about time you shared this with the rest of the world. And boy is it worth sharing. I have always liked the creatures designs, but am pleasantly surprised at how you did the mist. It works really well.
Well done!

[Dusty]

Duman: Well, I toiled over the mist for awhile...not to mention Nov/Dec I hardly worked on it at all, haha. Thanks for keeping up on it in the WIP thread!

keith_v: Thanks! I'm glad you like that aspect...the entire time I change the colors up a lot, but I knew I wanted the mouth area to be striking, so I'm happy I achieved that.

Everyone else: Thanks so much!

[Duman]

Believe me, the pleasure was all mine.


Now lets see some more.

[mtedore]

Have you done any more album covers? I thought that bands would be leaping all over you after the Bloodbath ones.

Have you done any more album covers? I thought that bands would be leaping all over you after the Bloodbath ones.

I've had several bands contact me, but I think they expect a little bit cheaper work and haven't written me after I tell them my rates. I'm comfortable with that, though, as I don't feel that my rates are all that high.

There is one major black metal band that I have been talking to that tentatively wants to work with me, but no new album from them for another year or so...so it's the waiting game on that one.

Overall, I am eager to do more, but at the same time...I only have enough time for so many (which is why I keep my rates where they are at). The day job and wife time restrict me from being able to bang these out in a week, so my spare time is valuable.
