Don't pay the Ferryman....

Frontispiece illustration of Charon, the dark ferryman of the river Styx, for the "Horrorschocker"#3 comic book from 2004. Done with fine liner, brush and a sponge.

Legends of Horror: The Werewolf ...

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

A rendering of the classic "werewolf" image for the "Legends of Horror" feature in the funtastic German "Horrorschocker" Comic Book by Weissblech Comics. No black "Doggie" nose thing here, makes him look stupid instead of scary. Acrylics on cardboard, 2008.

Blast from the past: "The Taxidermist" (1991)

O.K. - this one really collected some dust already: "The Taxidermist".

The image was done in 1991 with Photoshop 1.0 (!) working from an grayscale scan of a rough pencil sketch. It was enhanced with the limited tools available back then, like the smudge finger, airbrush and some filters I can't remember the names. Ahh, before I forget: No WACOM at all.  More of this old stuff soon....
