Inspired by a Richard Morgan novel and the universe what he created. The Crusher is a kind of a cage boxer of the future with upgraded body and filled up with war drugs for more entertaining fight...
Made mainly for testing a new / much faster painting technic...

What happens in a mind after the first kill? Wanted to catch the embarrassment... He might want to say something... He might want to explain what happened...

Done mainly for fun and for testing some new custom brushes what I made. Hope you like it!

The human marines send a scout to every destroyed colonies in every 5 year. The scout has to report any enemy presence, but noone have seen any ag'groar in the last 120 years. Scientist think its about the radiation level on the planets.

The marine just came round the corner and the huge creature stood there. His blood runs cold and he doesn't understand why the creature isn't attacking. Maybe it is waiting for something....

Started in painter 8 to put up the patches and main colors and finished in photoshop cs2 with wacom. I wanted to keep it more rough and handpainted-like, but hope you like it.

I made this concept for the strategy game Planet Gloom (work title) . The kyasid elv warrior is following the emperor's small caravan what carries an artifact.
I wanted to create a full detailed concept, but not hiper-realistic, because it isn't fit for this fantasy world. All done in Photoshop, not even a single photo used for palette or textures or anything else... just different brushes... hope you guys like it!
Crits welcome!]]> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 09:24:06 +0000 http://momarkmagic.cgsociety.org/gallery/531384

I created this piece as a book cover for Anne McCaffrey's White Dragon. The basic idea was to show the two different worlds: the dragon's and the dragon rider's. The two parts are well separated, but still blending into each other somehow....
Done in photoshop with wacom about 25-30 hours...

The spaceport of Sa'duk located at the border of the wasteland of the known galaxy. The spacecarrier's pilots usually stops here to get some fuel before the jump and have some rest and couple of drinks.
The local hunters of the planet often comes to the spaceport to have some fun with gampling in the pubs. Everybody knows that if you play with Rhak Sa'duk hunter, he has to win. But sometimes there are young carrier pilots who never heard about this....


Done in photoshop cs2 with hips of custom brushes. Used some textures to add more details and scanned references for the cards.

I made this armour concept for a fantasy game as a trial version. The main point in the work was to create a detailed concept for the 3D modellers. I think concept art - as an applied art form - have their own rules. It's not enough to create amazing illustrations, if they are useless for the other fellows who you working with in a team.
I hope you'll like it and critics are wellcome for sure!

Long time no post, but now I got permission from the client.
Made as a book cover for the fantasy book `Steel and the Lion`. They are the main characters of the book: the headhunter and the witch, who will fall in love into each other in the story.

Last week I went to an exhibition about the ancient incas and I was totally amazed. I made pencil sketches from the jewels, sculptures and weapons.
I was impressed by a mace and I've started to made up a story about the object...

The picture is about the best inca hunter in the tribe, who have to kill a black panther by oneself every year to prove his abilities. If he fails, another hunter gets his place...
The hunt was succesful and the hunter prays for the gods in itself to help the soul of the panther on the other world.

Done in photoshop cs2 with wacom in about 12-15 hours. Hope you like it and I'll post some closeups soon...

Hi,

Hi guys,
This is my first matte painting post and hoping some crits...
Done in photoshop cs2 with photo references and about 30% painting with my wacom friend

I've put the main reference photos below the artwork, because first it was rejected by CG... the photos are just from google - castle photo is copyrighted by Carl Tashian, one of the mountain picts by Chuck Painter. I can't find any copyright notes on the others. (does anybody know how can I attach multiple files to a gallery upload? or is it just for CG members?)

c&c wellcome and hope it will gone trough this time... ]]> Sun, 17 Jun 2007 21:30:49 +0000 http://momarkmagic.cgsociety.org/gallery/427322

Hi,
I've never posted commercial stuff, but now. I made this illustration for a contemporary theatre piece what's based on Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. Done 95% Illustrator and finished in Photoshop to get some texture on the whole artwork and build up some minimal shiny lights. It was quiet a speed work... done in 3 hours.

I was the designer of a tabletop game. It is much like the "Warhammer" tabletops but you have to control goblins and the rules are much more simple and understandable for kids in younger age (6-8yrs) as well. This illustration was made for the guidebook of the game.
