Loviatar #10

It has been an incredibly busy few weeks, perhaps the busiest I have ever known. Between colouring a children's book (more to come on that at a later stage) and lettering a comic (that too), I managed to somehow get the artwork done for Loviatar #10, which is now on sale.

Here is the cover for it -

And here are the interior illustrations for it -

And as usual, you can purchase your copy of the zine right here!

Sir William commission

A little while ago, I was contacted by a fine fellow by the name of Lon Varnadore, from California. He's a table-top gamer and had a character that he wanted me to draw for him. The character is a cavalier, who had a nasty run in with a mage turned him into a female version of himself, who I came to call Sir Williamette for the laugh.
Anyway, Lon and I sent many emails back and forth, and I have many pieces of paper with sketches of every element of their attire, weaponry, poses and facial features. We did this so that we could collaborate on getting the final designs as close to what Lon pictured in his head for the characters.
And here's how they turned out...

My thanks to Lon for allowing to show the images here, and for contacting me to begin with, these pieces were a lot of fun to do.

This is as good a time as any to mention once more that I am available for commission work, be it something similar to the above pieces, or something completely different. So email me if you're interested and I'm sure we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Loviatar #9 y'all

Loviatar #9 is being posted out to subscribers and available for purchase as of today!
So I can show off the artwork I did for this issue now, so gather around folks.
Here's the cover I did for it again...

And here are the interior illustrations too...

As is my usual sign-off for Loviatar related posts, go buy your copy of Loviatar right here!

Loviatar #9 cover

I just finished the cover to the next issue of Loviatar a few days ago, and this is how it looks...

I have a few more interior illustrations to do for the issue as well, of which I will put up here when the issue is out.

Loviatar #8

Loviatar #8 has been out for a little over a week now, but I plum forgot to post about it here. Silly me...

I contributed three interior illustrations and the cover image for this issue, so let's begin with the cover piece -

That ugly looking fella is an Otyugh, a creature whose dung is highly prized as fertiliser, so much so that Otyugh babies are auctioned for high prices.

And here are the three interior illustrations for this issue...

Mushies!



Gnome riding a Badger



A Serpent

As usual, Loviatar #8, along with all previous issues, can be purchased over here!

Commission me!

That's right folks, I am available for commission work!
To expand on what the above flyer says, I am now accepting commission work on a wide variety of subjects and genres. The flyer is geared more to the fantasy gaming community, but I am also happy to work in the fields of...
comics (character designs and such, not actual sequential work at this time)
children's book illustration
general fantasy art
book illustration and heaps more.

As for the media, I can offer a wide variety of approaches, including...

pencil (that would be grey lead pencil depicting tone and such)
pen & ink (like a comic is inked)
ink wash (greyscale inks with tone and highlighting)
watercolour (in full colour)
ink & digital colouring (like a comic again, but coloured like a comic too)
oils (full colour painting)

I'm not the sort of person to set ridiculous prices for these commissions, or to set in stone a price for each type. What I like to do is discuss with the 'client' what they have in mind and try and work out a price that suits us both from that. I believe in fairness and giving the person a piece that comes as close to what they originally envisioned as is within my power to do, at a price that is reasonable and worthwhile for both of us.

So drop me a line at giantkillerjay@yahoo.com.au if you are interested and I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.

Loviatar #7

I just finished producing the artwork for Loviatar #7 yesterday. This issue features far more illustrations by me than ever before, and the work that Christian has done in writing a campaign promises to make this a fantastic fanzine.
Christian has, very kindly, been showing off the artwork over on the Loviatar blog, but I think it is time I did a post on it all over here.
So, first of all, we have the cover...

Loviatar #7 cover

It features a 6-legged Basilisk at the top, a halfling town in the middle, and a few of the local brewery's wares and a giant owl at the bottom.

Next up there are a bunch of illustrations to go with the campaign...

A Gnome amongst some potatoes

A Giant Owl

The mysterious Stone Man

Offerings for the Stone Man

Kemper Burrowell, local law enforcer

Goblin Raiders

I had a huge amount of fun drawing things for this issue, and I think it is some of the best work I have done for the zine.

The issue isn't on sale quite yet, but if you keep an eye open over at Loviatar, Christian will announce the release of the issue soon.

Until next time!
