Eric is a concept and gallery artist who specialises in otherworldly character design. “I love the value and textures of black and white work.” With careful use of kneaded erasers, he pulls and pushes abstract shapes into refined details.
1 DRAGON OF THE CALM SKIES “While I love the overall dark feel and the lost lines of this work, the details were the crowning touch.”
2 NYOOGEN “When the Nyoogen appears out of the black mist, he will decide your luck based on your deeds from the previous year.”
3 GOBLIN LORD “This was an exercise in learning how to apply charcoal pencils as shading over a layer of metallic watercolour paint.”
4 REMOVING THE BLANKET OF ILLUSION “His claws gently sink into the golden fabric. The blanket of illusion shatters and then begins to tear with gentle vibrations.”
