This is one of the paintings I got into Spectrum 18. I added the thumb too. I think I covered most in that little thumb. 6 days later it looked like the final.
Jesper Ejsing was born in Denmark in1973. He first discovered fantasy through the works of Tolkien and got introduced to D&D on Christmas Day, 1986. Skipping through the pages of the rulebooks, he set a goal for the rest of his life: He would become a fantasy artist. He would make a living illustrating things that live only in imagination... one way or the other.
He studied Danish literature and Art History before quitting University for a freelance artist life. The early years as a fulltime illustrator meant drawing anything for money. Soon he weeded out the assignments that weren't historical, and after a while all he did was fantasy art.
When he finally got his first assignment for Dungeons and Dragons it was 20 years since that Christmas when the goal was set. He struck out on a journey, stubbornly, and at times ignorant to the realities of life, and 2 decades of traveling has finally brought him home.
Jesper Ejsing still lives in Copenhagen Denmark, with his 2 sons and wife, Lea. Along with paintings, he has written numerous books. "Jarvis – the Sorcerer's Apprentice" is the only one translated into English.
@Stryke: Spectrum is a juried competition. You do not pay to get in. You pay to submit your work to the judges, and they decide if you get in. The entry fee is $20 USD per piece entered.
Jesper, I notice you are able to carry over, or at least create anew, the energy in your finished piece from your sketch. Would you be able to share a post in the future about what you do to achieve this?
