Covers

Ren Dhark has a tradition of circular cover illustrations. That has always led to an abundance of black in the layout, because of the missing corners. I've been able to contribute an updated layout for "Unitall" with a metal frame that goes around the illustration but preserves the circular illustration format. For comparison, here are my latest covers, one for "Unitall" and one for "Weg ins Weltall."

Doolittle in Color

After a slog and struggle I still ended up fairly pleased with this rare painting. There were quite a few occasions when I wished I could click the undo command. I couldn't get away with not thinking through the process in advance, so I hope to get another chance at a painting soon.

Doolittle Raid

I'm about to start a rare painting (28" x 40") for the Warbirds & Warriors air show in Monroe, NC. It'll be used as poster and program cover. The image itself is of the B-25 bomber attack on Japan at the beginning of WWII, a.k.a. the Doolittle Raid. It's good to know paintings are still needed on occasion.

New Ren Dhark

Sternendschungel Galaxis has reached #42 in the series. This is the cover for #41 for which the editor asked me to show the iconic Point Of spaceship in the foreground.

Buzby

A few years ago I designed a bunch of characters for children's animations, one of a variety of things I've been able to work on. (I did the sketches which someone else turned into 3D) This is "Buzby the Bee". You can find more samples at Tinmachine.
