Onward: Surreal Fantasy Painting of a Barbarian Girl

Onward

Surreal fantasy digital painting 2015

The barbarian girl grows weary of her relentless march onward.

She finds herself slowing. Resisting. Giving up. Letting go.

She no longer cares of the obscure notion of a so called end. She has come so far, yet has reached nowhere.

Hope and purpose were cruel lies.

Sinister jokes which have brainwashed her for far too long.

This medieval portrait painting was created with Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and a Wacom Intuos tablet using a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation.

Based on the photography of Natalie Von Lotus

Bathing Pixie: A Surreal Fantasy Digital Painting

Bathing Pixie

Surreal fantasy digital painting 2015

She washes her worries away, and bathes in naive pools of innocence and indifference. 

She frees herself of binding emotions, and unchains herself from suffering and regret.

She will not be held down.

She will not be a slave to the expectations of others.

She hears only what she wishes to hear, and eyes closed, she sees only beauty.

This digital portrait painting was created with Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet.

Based on the photography of Marianna Orlova.

Standing Ground: Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting

Standing Ground

Surreal medieval fantasy portrait painting 2015 

She stands tall, and proud. 

She stands strong.

 She stands her ground.

As the shadows crowd around her, and the unforgiving world whispers of horror and of isolation, she refuses defeat. 

She is the light enduring in the impossible. The stubborn life-force insisting on survival. 

The warrior we all wish we could be.

This dark fantasy portrait was created with Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet using a combination of digital painting, and photo manipulation.

Based on the photography of David Olkarny

Pale Horse: A Surreal Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting

 Pale Horse

Surreal medieval fantasy digital painting 2015

There's a strange stillness to the surrounding world as she rides her pale horse in silence through the fog.

She is thankful that she has made it this far, and is hopeful for what the future holds. 

Despite the horrors she has faced, there is still a kindness in her heart which has managed to survive. A calming assurance that somehow everything will someday be alright. That everything really does happen for a reason. That her many efforts have not been wasted.

This portrait was created with a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet.

It was based on the photography of Amanda Diaz.

Gothic Fantasy Portrait Painting: Secret by the Sea

Secret by the Sea

Surreal Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting 2015

Resting in silence, she hides from the world. Her dark secret ties her to loneliness. Condemns her to solitude. Imprisons her to a foreboding sense of emptiness.

She stares up at the blank grey sky as the restless world passes her by. She prays for the idea of heaven, and the notion of salvation. She dreams of hope, and of freedom from her terrible curse.

The simplicity of the wildflowers, and the indifference of nature are her only friends.

The unknown her only grace.

This moody portrait was created with a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet.
