The fairy know all manner of secrets, but even they must at times seek darker truths, the fairy known as willow wisps are the lore keepers to this magical world and their knowledge runs deepest of all.

The fairy has asked her question, the willow wisps have imparted their wisdom... does she like the answer? what will this fairy do with the knowledge she now holds?

This one came along much further than was intended, wasn't originally happy with the sketch but am reaaly pleased with it now.

Thanks for looking]]> Sun, 05 Aug 2007 21:57:19 +0000 http://abscnth.cgsociety.org/gallery/524797

the fairy nightstock summons the fairy magic of moonlight. wrapped in ecstacy
her fairy powers are strong, equaling perhaps even those of the fairy taarna,
yet she is a calming and soothing influence on both the fairy courts of the seelie
and the dark fairy of the unseelie court.

She is of the winter fairy, though they are cold of heart and only to be found in the dark of night, bathed by the moonlight, these fairy are pure, they are not to be feared but must be respected. Winter fairy are wise, drawing on the all the memories of all the winters of the fairy that have come before them.

This is my final entry submission to the Eon 2D Illustration competition. It is a realisation of Patricias approach to Axis Nader and the overwhelming geometry of 'The Way'.

I had a cracking time on this competition and extend a warm hello to the friends I hope I have made and who helped make this piece what it is. Cheers all!

Most of the hours consumed on this piece were in an attempt to work out a relatively (to me) complex perspective issue due to the point of view chosen. Cinema 4d was toyed with to try and iron out those problems, but by and large Photoshop was the software used. Drew quite a bit of technical inspiration from the Gnomon discs also, in particular the David Levy disc.

Any comments/crits gratefully appreciated as this is my first environment piece]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 23:27:29 +0000 http://abscnth.cgsociety.org/gallery/461938

I have recently been struck with a desire to do dark, gothy and slightly naughty faeries. Valentines being right around the corner has had me playing with a few ideas and this is one of the outcomes.

Poser and photoshop over the course of one weekend so I am pleased with the time aswell. Anyone who knows of some good tutorial sites for poser and in particular texture mapping please comment as this is also the first peice that I have played around with creating my own textures.

Edit... 01/08/07 - this is updated work on the image]]> Fri, 09 Feb 2007 23:33:50 +0000 http://abscnth.cgsociety.org/gallery/430221

My first real work using Poser 6. A character development piece that will be part of a series which will hopefully interest potential card publishers for a christmas / winter solstice themed card.

The model was lit using Poser lights. Everything except the figure is done in Photoshop using a blend of photography and custom brushes. The model was also colour balanced in Photoshop. I know the piece uses the good ol' lens flare but it did really seem to suit the mood better than any other lighting effects that were done.

Total time was probably about 6 hours which I am quite pleased with. Anyone who wishes to critique please feel free to be ruthless or generous all comments are welcome.]]> Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:52:22 +0000 http://abscnth.cgsociety.org/gallery/395227

"This piece was inspired by a description written by the only two astronauts ever to witness an eclipse of the sun by the planet earth as seen from the moon."

On the eve of the final battle when all are weary and resigned to this fateful day one young soldier looks out to the far horizon, and there, she sees hope...

Produced in photoshop from pencil sketches. Quite a few hours went into this as a developmental piece and the outcome is a new direction in style from that which I have followed till now.

Any comments you have please feel free to make them as all critique is valuable.]]> Sat, 19 Aug 2006 15:56:23 +0000
