Hello, the Tolkienians! I made a new portfolio category, “Tolkien : Digital”.
This portfolio contains Tolkien related character’s art work. All art works are drawn by digital painting method (with Corel Painter 12 and AdobePhotoshop).

Now I’m starting a new painting. I think it would be Túrin Turambar’s.
Keep your eyes on!

I posted new art work to “Les Arcanes : Digital” section.
That piece has titled as "Pray for Japan".

R.I.P. all victims of 3.11 earthquake and tsunami.
I’ve been praying for my lovely and beautiful country, Japan.

I hope this art work would give warm feelings and a big hug to all people who has been doing something for recovery.

Study for the next one

Here’s a study for the next work.

I’ve drawn those two characters from Japanese Manga “Toward the Terra (or To Terra…)” by Keiko Takemiya (she’s the one famous Japanese Manga artists). That one is my great masterpiece of young era. I’ve been loving those characters, Keith (L) and Shiroë (R) for a long time.
I think this Sci-Fi Manga is also a masterpiece of Japanese Manga!

You can read that Manga in English. Here’s a link to Amazon.

The 1st Art Work@2011

I just posted new art work to “Les Arcanes : Digital” section.
That piece has titled as "Oblivion:gold".

The based image has came from a song of Kamelot’s "House on a Hill". I love such mystical and tragic atmosphere of that song.

I’ve drawn my loved original vampire, Fawler.
He manifests himself and his secret thoughts from the abandoned past, like that picture.
