Sketchdump+cool trailer

Bilingual entry, because some neat stuff I found is in Swedish:

Okej - Trailer för Morwhayle 2 av Peter Bergting, som ser ASCOOL ut. Ungefär som om Mike Mignola har sprungit med huvudet först in i Drakar och Demoner. En fristående berättelse finns att läsa i senaste Utopi Magasin, och det är min professionella åsikt att det var JÄTTEBÄST, så hör sen.

Loose tengu-concept for a bigger painting I'm working on. I visited the Natural History Museum's bird-taxidermy exhibit the other day, and let's just say I got an itch to draw birds.

Costume-ideas (i.e: visual identity) for the Whalerider-people.

As a nomadic people, the Whaleriders tend towards becoming itinerant traders.

They also make a big deal out of concealing their faces (both genders); they think of faces as an important expression of identity - the shape of their soul, if you will - and it is therefore considered intensely private.

A variation on the theme of my most recent digital painting; this one focused more on feelings of protectiveness.
