Shield Dragons

Sword Portal

Feral Protector

I'm probably going to work into the leaves more but for now I'm getting going on my next projects.

Holy Retribution 2

This is a complete revamp of a piece I did a little under a year ago. If you remember, or care to see the original idea it can be seen here: http://dietermiller.blogspot.com/2011/10/holy-retribution.html

I feel that I have grown a lot in the past year, I'm excited to see what my final semester at school brings!

One more

About 3 hours

2 1/2 Hour "Caster" speed paint

Speed paint of a character I did for a book project I'm working on in school

The Falconer

Some good practice trying new things

Luminary: And the Thousand Shards

Here is a triptych poster I created for a made up video game pitch. The characters names are Thierot, Saryn, and Garruk which are in the made up game Luminary: And the Thousand Shards. When I have more time I will compose 3 separate posters for the characters. This took a looong time but I learned a lot. It will be printed 14 x 35 inches.

The Egg Thief with process

I often get asked by people how I work, and how to get started digital painting, so I posted a brief process to show what I do. If you have any questions feel free to comment me or email me!

Death Spawn

I cant believe it took me so long to make a Spawn piece...but here it is! I've always loved Spawn, ever since my big brother Paul bought me my first Curse of the Spawn figure when I was probably in 3rd grade or so. I loved it and it got me into the comics and I've been a fan ever since. I obviously put my own spin on the character, but I had a lot of fun doing this, I hope this broke the shell for more Spawn pieces in the future.

Elf Papa

Some more quick practice. A proud daddy - a proud beard.

Desert Elf

Original character concept that I did start to finish today. I integrated all of what I have learned so far from doing all of my speed paintings into an original piece, and I HIGHLY recommend doing it for practice. I learned a great deal from doing just the five this past week or so and its really paying off already. Set aside 2 hours of your day (or even one) and just do it!

Also: This week I really realized what I need to start working on...and whatd I do? Started working on it. I believe everybody should be looking at their work critically and really see what they need to do if they want to be successful with their art - or anything for that matter. The first step in getting better with anything is first realizing what you need to do to get there! For example: the other day I realized I have no idea how to draw noses out of my head - so that afternoon I just sketched them for a few hours. Also I just studied many of my favorite artists, compared them to mine, and really started noticing huge things I needed to do to mature my work - mainly color schemes. Draw everyday! Take care ya'll

RIFT Contest Entry

This is for a contest on Deviantart right now for a game called RIFT. This is Rahlizel. I had a good time on this piece and learned a lot!
