I’ve got another two QA’s for you to checkout in this months ImagineFX magazine (issue 80). Follow my step by steps as I show you how to create a creepy spiral staircase, and then find out how to create a perspective grid from scratch in paintshop pro (or just your favorite paint program).

As always there are great pictures and articles for the SF & Fantasy Art enthusiast to enjoy, not to mention workshop and QA’s by other artists to delve into – out now!

Checkout this months edition of ImagineFX magazine (issue 79). There’s a really interesting piece on Wayne Barlowe that I highly recommend, quite surreal!
If you’re interested in gaming theres some interesting concept work for Batman Arkham Asylumn thats well worth taking a look at.
However I reserve the best to last, make sure you get to see the excellent sketches by John Howe an artist who’s work I greatly admire. Oh and did I mention that I have two Q&A sections in this months edition?

One of the QA’s you might recognise if you’ve looked through my gallery before. I’ve changed my colourful sunset for the QA article and given it more of a fantasy theme. The other QA is a new sketch that I made in artrage for a three step explanation of how to paint decaying flowers.

As always I am really honored to have my words and pictures featured in ImagineFX magazine, but more than all I recommend it as a quality publication for all lovers of the digital fantastic!

Checkout the Art Class is this months ImagineFX magazine (issue 70). I was fortunate enough to mentor a very talented young artist from Brazil by the name of Luisa Rafida. We corresponded over her fantasy painting and I provided help in the form of advice and technical know how. It was really fun to do and Luisa was a great student. You can see the final result on Luisa’s Deviantart art page here
I was quite fortunate last year to be able to paint ‘Sacrifice to Khaine’ for the Warhammer Invasion Card Game, The Morrslieb Cycle. (c) Games Workshop Limited 2011
I have always wanted to do something Warhammer related to this was a great opportunity given to me by Fantasy Flight Games. I don’t play these card games myself but I’m always interested in seeing the illustrations painted for them.I guess I’m quite fortunate having painted so many myself for other games.

I’ve posted a copy of the original image in my gallery for viewing. The card itself is now available through the ‘Chaos Moon’ edition of the Morrslieb Cycle – if you happen to be a player/collector.
See the Fantasy Flight Games Website for more details..
Checkout my new Q&A and my classic flying saucer in the A-Z of Sci-Fi in Januarys edition of ImagineFX (Out Now) . I painted a six headed monster for one of the Q&As which was really fun to do, and I got to paint an alien abduction which was pretty cool too!
Looking forward to the Christmas holiday and spending time with my family now. Have a great xmas and a happy new year to you all!
