And here’s my latest quickie sketch, a caveman without a club.. dang! I might add that at a later date

A little bit of World of Warcraft Fanart, although I don’t think we’ll see any Taurens begging for the toilet any time soon

Well ,I got a nice surprise over the weekend! I received my copy of the above named book on Saturday and I have to say it’s gorgeous! And doubly surprising for me that they used one of my pieces for the cover! Shock, horror!

You can buy the book on Amazon here… http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Painting-Undead-Animation-Educational/dp/0764138138

My morning sketch, sadly the only one of the week so far.. busy times

Hi all, There are now more black and white pieces in the goblinoid gallery, please check them out and enjoy!

Hi all,

Well while I’m painting and scribbling away on the Goblin Book I still make sure that I give myself time for some personal painting too.

Here’s one that I started today, I’m in two minds to carry on with it. It was a fun exercise using an Artist’s Oil Brush in Painter, rather than my normal set… as well as a bit of painting in PS, which I’m still trying to get to grips with.

Well this is my ‘big’ announcement!
I recently submitted a proposal to the wonderful folk over at David & Charles Publishing. The subject being an instructional art book themed, surprisingly on Goblinoids, haha, they were foolish enough to accept the idea! Woot!

Ahem.. anyway, the book is going to contain ideas on how to create your own goblinoids, I’ll show you how I work in colour and black and white, using the digital medium and give you ideas on how my processes can also be accomplished traditionally.

It will be aimed at the beginner and professional alike and I’m hoping everyone will have fun reading and using it. It is currently slated for a 2009 release and will be 128pages of goblinoid goodness!

I’ve just uploaded a handful of the goblinoid designs/filler art, that you can view here.. http://www.scottpurdy.net/blog/?page_id=40 so please enjoy. I’ll be updating with new pieces from the book whenever possible

The races I’m including in the book are
Goblin
Hobgoblin
Half Orc
Orc
Troll
Ogre

Cheers all,
Scott

I’m feeling a bit melancholy, my work isn’t going as well as I’d hoped (what artist doesn’t have days like that eh?) today. So my morning sketch (this afternoon) is a bit sad.
