So what do you use to make your pictures? Are they traditional or digital? I love the decorative style and the restrained colour palette.

my pictures are traditional and digitial, I draw the image in pencil first, then scan it into the computer and colour digitally, using textures that I create by scanning in old prints and japanese papers, I never use anyone else's textures or brushes.

Aha thanks! That is a lovely idea and I really like the effects you create with your choice of textures. Very delicate.

Whoa whoa whoa, this is so gorgeous! That transition in the Dragon's arm and leg to his claws, the blood, and the Knight's hand on his shoulder are so lovely. And look at the backgrounds, wow. I love how you included the skull! :) But it's their faces and expressions I find most compelling. Lovely as always.

thanks so much, there is a lot of fine detail in the pic I wish I could show it larger, and without watermark, but people go and steal art (learned from experience) so if you show online, this is the way it's gotta be!

It is a great shame that happens, I love zooming in to see the detail on people's artworks but I understand the problem.
