Silver Thorns: A Surreal Medieval Fantasy Portrait Painting


Silver Thorns

Medieval fantasy digital portrait painting 2015

From the Jungle
a foreign world
an ancient dream.

Silver Thorns crown her presence
mark her authority
speak her accomplishment.

 From a dark past, she finds a new light.

From an untamed existence, she finds order.


This mysterious portrait of a beautiful barbarian queen was created with Corel Painter 2015, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet using a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation. Click here to see an example of my creation process.

Based on the photography of Ojjla

Digital Painting of a Mysterious Fairy

Digital painting of a fairy by Justin Gedak

"Fairy" is a surreal portrait of a beautiful and mysterious fairy in a dark, abstract forest. It was created with a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet. 

I see her as someone who has underdone some sort of turmoil. An unbearable experience which has scared her soul, and disfigured her heart. 

She will never be the same. She will never feel the same. She will never love the same.

Yet she is stronger for it. The internal agony has deepened her core existence. Has made her wiser. Has humbled her. Has broadened her reality on the pleasures and pains of life.

She will endure and prosper at the expense of heartache.

She knows now what it is like to lose and to fail.

She understands that going forward she must cherish, and not take for granted the good things that come her way. 

Because at any moment, they can be gone forever.

From Strange Waters



This is a surreal fantasy digital painting is a beautiful and mysterious blind cannibal princess standing at the edge of dark, murky waters. 

A dead tree lingers in the background like a foul memory. A reminder of the world and life she is wanting to leave behind.
