The Perch

Here's something I did last night.
A new character for a new story I'm working on.
He was inspired by the Alkonost and Gamayun of Russian folklore.
Done in Photoshop with my tablet.

New Character

2 more characters to add to my increasing list. They're mercenaries.


I'm thinking of painting these on Photoshop. I found a tutorial and I'm eager to try it out.

Other Old Things

Oh yeah, I do watercolors too.


This one is my interpretation of dawn and dusk. I suppose I was inspired by Alphonse Mucha for this.


This is another of my characters from another one of my story ideas. She's a part of a tribe of indigenous peoples who lives in a canyon. Their particular tribe suspends their dead from the lofty ridges; that's why you can see coffins in the distance. This practice was inspired by something I saw on the Discovery channel about a group of ancient people who left the deceased on ledges in China.

I like how anything that piques my interest can end up in one of my stories or even inspire a new one sometimes.
