I enjoyed trying to put all the details in.

Sometimes, I just wondered whether someday I could live in a world such as those. I mean, I'm all stuffed up with the mundane reality and thought that living in the world of fantasy will never be bad after all......I love magic, adventure and sense of wonderment....

Awsome in genneral, but IΒ΄m crazy with the demon- you shoul make a few demon picΒ΄s - itΒ΄s rare to see very successful drawings of demons.
Best Regards

Sadly I just do what I get asked, and it ain't always demons

hehe life is like that, I was merely saying that itΒ΄s a awsome demon - IΒ΄m big on RP ans spend some time looking for good illustrations to show my players (got a HUGE bookmarks folder lol)
YouΒ΄re very good in general, and the demon I saw was far above adverage 
I hope you find time (or someone orders another) at some point.
Cheers

heehee, I love the mood in this one. I always look at it and wonder if the mages know how totally screwed they are.

Awsome. How would oen come to work for gw's design or art department? Im an aspireing sketch artist, i know the HQ is in the UK, but none the less how would i go about getting a job in that field when Im older? The web sights have stuff for working in the retail stores but not in design, or anthing like that. Could you help a gamer out? lol

There are relatively few freelance opportunties at GW, especially since the cessation of publication of both Inferno! & Warhammer monthly. The only freelance work available is through the Black library. As with other ocmpanies find out hwo the art directors are and sendt hem a submission portfolio. As for work in the studio, either look out for job adverts or contact the company to ask them about opportunities.

That's jaw-droppingly incredible - so detailed! Fantastic!

I think that it is a good work because it is done with acrylic (for me itΒ΄s a difficult material) congratulations!

Whilst i find working digitally very diffilcult. I am very familiar with acrylic and enjoy the way i can lay down washes of colour and build up the painting. Thanks for the comment

I work full time as a freelance illustrator and I am doing okay, thanks
I do enjoy putting the detail in, it gives me a lot of satisfaction, and I do seem to have the patience

You and your wife amaze me to no end. I envy the both of you, work-wise and art-wise. I haven't started watching you yet, but I will. Keep up the good work.
The great thing about you and your wife is that when my D&D/Warhammer-loving friends buys a supplement with your work, I can be like "Zohmygawd, I knows who they r!"

Hi Ralph.
Great to see Anne finaly got you to join DA.
I keep running accross very well known artists on here even now and again, its great.
I'm involved in a Warhammer game at the moment and I do enjoy seeing your fantastic Art on the covers of the books. The detail is mind boggling.
Can I make one request of you with regard to your artwork on here, is it possible for you to upload larger versions of the Art? The 2 Warhammer covers especially as you just can't see the detail on these smaller files.
How about it?
I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Yeah, thought I'd finally become a deviant, she has good things to say aboutt his place
I too am playing a wfrp game at present. I particularly enjoy the background.
The images are plenty big when downloaded, I wouldn't have thought they need a bigger file.
Thanks for the comment. I will be showing more work.

Oh I see. I was just looking at them on the Devient Art Site, not downloading them. I shall do so and have a look!
Yeah, WFRP is great. Extreamly deadly though. Theres only 2 original characters left in out game now out of 6.
Keep Uploading matey!

we are all still alive, but are getting through the fate points and acquiring insanity ones!
