@adelofsilvermoons: Thank you, sadly I didnt find a publisher who liked it. The story may be a bit short though .
@knut-: Thanks, I am always trying to get better
@Mah ' Crub: I hope I can do both ^^ Good quality in short time. Or just getting paid better XD

Finally something new: From the actual COW:
A biological assasin creature.

**Waipunga** · September 11th, 2010, 05:10 AM

Wow, like this last one! Biological assassin! Cool idea and great execution......... bad to the bone that bastard. Nice

**Crawley** · September 11th, 2010, 03:00 PM

**House Hatke** · September 13th, 2010, 09:45 AM

Wow, some really great stuff here! I especially liked the spider and your little red riding hood. you've got a fun experimental style.

Horses can bring in work? interesting... where from?

I have to make a crit of your horse - Im' an equine artist when i'm not doing fantasy stuff - its got too many joints in its front leg there and its bending the wrong way...
There is heaps of ref on google - type in 'spanish stallion' or 'PRE stallion' for the best stuff...

Bio assassin creature is AWESOME.

Also i second or third the love of the last two dino drawings. really lovely style and balance.

**Jadedarts** · September 15th, 2010, 08:33 AM

Some truly amazing stuff, the movement in that horse is stunning and the spider and baby one is still giving me shivers !!!

**ArchDesign** · September 15th, 2010, 11:20 AM

sweet colors on the first posts... kids would really love to look at it. the bright colors are so attractive...

**Vaejoun** · September 18th, 2010, 06:34 AM

Thank you all, glad you like it.
@Arch Design: Thats what I heard a lot, but sadly the publishers are too afraid of the stile. I am currently working on a childrens book and I hope I find a publisher soon.

@ Art by manon:
The horses are good for showing around on book fairs, because a lot of artist have trouble with horses, so the publisher like to see them.
But you are right on that painting, it was a speedy with no real ref in the first place and...well you mentioned the problems already. ^^ I should make some new horses.

Ok, heres the one from CHOW 214: Koshei the immortal
This one was a lot of troube. Sadly I didnt find a fitting bg again and there are anatomy issues left as well. Although I am kind of happy that the skin turned out so well. Dunno how Randis or Craig Mullins are doing there skins.

**Moltee** · September 18th, 2010, 09:11 AM

Amazing work! each piece is as good as the last, the one above "Koshei the immortal" looks amazing

**Vaejoun** · September 21st, 2010, 09:12 AM

@Moltee: Thanks, the pic was a lot of trouble.

Finally I am able to show some paid work.

Two Warlords for nex set of the CCG "Warlord"

produced by Phoenix Interactive GmbH

Hope you like it
Done in Painter and PS in the later steps.

EDIT: I had a little trouble with the dwarf, the jpg and the thumb for the original TIFF file appeared pretty pale, like in Painter. But the Nothrog (Orc) didnt, although I painted both the same way. Any ideas what could have caused this ?

Some stuff for Blizzard WOW/ SC2 contests and for fun. I like the stile I used in the last one and I hope it can improve my painting process for more detailed works as well.

@Swiezy: Yea, I once played it too... for too long I think. XD
I would like to do cards for blizz, but its kinda hard to get in the buissness.
But at least I won something for my blizz accountgard piece.

If someone knows someone or a contact... I would be happy to try it.
