I recently had the pleasure of working with the tabletop RPG Oath Hammer to create a cover and several illustrations. Today, I'd like to share some of the work for them with you! I love the challenge that these kinds of projects present: complex character...
I was recently given the opportunity to test drive the new Huion Kamvas 24 4K digital tablet and I have the results to share with you today. Most of the painting was done live, and if you'd like to see it, you can check out the first VOD where we came up with...
Dear Justin,
You are annoyingly good!
Seriously- as I'm sure many others here will echo, this is a lovely concept masterfully executed. I wouldn't normally post just to say those things only I also felt compelled to say how great is is that you should share your process like this. It's a great example of how following through on strong fundementals can bring a vision to life. Inspiring and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing the final.
Hey Justin!
That is looking amazing! I can't wait to see the final.
what a wonderful sketches . Enjoy me eyes 😀

i agree with CK. I really would love to make my drawing look so effortless and incisive as yours. looking forward your courses at lamppostguild!
Magical!
Love the contrast between the wizard's expression and the kids'.
Best,

Beautiful! The linework is so delicate and perfect for the children, and yet the dragon still looks like a bad-ass dragon.
Your drawings on the brown paper inspired me to purchase myself some more Conté pencils and new EarthBound books.
I started doing sketches on toned paper last year, and while I love the depth I can get using the paper as the midground, I've found I have a hard time translating those sketches to full-color since the mood totally changes from whatever the initial feeling was on the toned paper… do you ever have the problem?
Hi Justin,
I just had to share my reaction which was, quote, “Woaaah!”, unquote. Seriously.
Your sketches are amazing, as always. Love the wizard's expression 🙂
Can't wait to see the finished painting!
What pencils are you using for these awesome sketches? The color just seems really perfectly balanced to the tone of the paper.
Dr Mr Gerard,
I love your work. I hate that I didn't do it.
This is going to turn out magical. Beautiful feel with the curved horizon and cool/warm theme. Make it BIG! 😉
