2029 - Church of Skulls

2029 - CHURCH OF SKULLS

This is a concept and idea I have been working on for a few years and this will be where I will share stories and updates on my development with the personal project. Here is the first image of my idea turned in to a graphic novel style. Below we can see a naked female and she is strong and in control, she fears nothing and nothing will stop her from her mission. The man you can see is a pleb and at the will of the female as are all males in 2029 - Church of Skulls. Why? What is in the females sack? who is in the Cabin? Why is the female naked? Where are we?

Church of Skulls has character motives and story that is messed up with a shocking twist.

This has been a fun project to work on over the years and can not wait to work on the first pages over the next 24 months.

Painting and Mr Leon Taylor - 2016

High Priestess - Magic the Gathering - demo card  by Mr Leon Taylor

THE HIGH PRIESTESS - Valor Quawm Issatopode III.#magicthegatheringcards I have always looked up to the art of the game. Am keen for someone who knows it well to give her description and powers / levels. #imagine . #art #artist #artwork #designer #design #artofvisuals#magicthegathering #concept #conceptualdesign #magiccards#digitalpainting #imagine #pushthemskills #drawing #painting #paint#design #magic #thegathering #mtg #card #cards #powerful

Screenshot/Work in progress: THE HIGH PRIESTESS - Valor Quawm Issatopode III. I have never played #magicthegatheringcards , but have always looked up to the art of the game. Ever since I could draw I wanted to be as good as them so I am going to try make my own card. Have started the details on the Robe/Vest/Dress and here you can see my brush and layer set up for those #photoshop fans. Next will be face and other details. Light sources and bouncing light. Getting away from the m trying to use line work and more painting style. #art #artist #artwork #designer#design #artofvisuals #magicthegathering #concept #conceptualdesign#magiccards #digitalpainting #imagine #pushthemskills

Rough version of the anatomy based on one of Pikachus famous poses!

Cleaned up - linework only

add some background duplicates for visual fun.



Then add a white behind the linework making some parts grey to show a light source.

That was an exercise that got out of hand. But am very happy with the result and will be selling A4 prints at OVERLOADNZ 24th September 2016.

Dream Tarot Cards - Personal project -

I wanted to make an exercise that could start with drawing skills and end with photoshop skills. So make it almost like and endless Personal Project I went with the Idea of "Dream Tarot Cards". These are all from the idea that they are different from other everyday Tarots and even more truthful.

Here is THE ID - You inner most desires and motives behind your existence.

Face them or die by them, it is up to you how you narrate your time on earth. But tread carefully, because even living to 100 will still feel too short.
