Space Dust

Deklan Jasra
Having had a major nostalgia trip down memory lane recently that raced me through the entire Mass Effect franchise, slammed me body and soul into Kaidan Alenko and then crashed me heart first into Carth Onasi - Raphael Sbarge's voice has a lot to answer for - it seemed somehow fitting to revisit Deklan Jasra.
Aaaall the way back in 2003, following a play-through of one of my all time favorite games 'Knights of the old republic', Deklan was the result of my mighty need to create a character of my own who could hang out in a Star Wars universe and possibly make things float through sheer force of will ;-) But it wasn't until 2005 that he finally found a face via the stand in for Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 'making of' footage from 'Phantom Menace'. It was my first encounter with awesome actor Marc Warren and he has been my template for Deklan ever since.
Mr Warren, I would like thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you are and the tremendous inspiration you continue to be. You rock!
We've come a long way since 2005, Deklan and I. And I still love him as much as I did the day I created him. My original older brother. <3

Meanwhile in Sweden...

Sweden
Sometimes my brain thinks really odd things... such as 'What if someone was actually called Sweden'. It then went on to think 'He would probably look kinda like Lester from Chuck.' Who, btw, is played by the staggeringly handsome Vik Sahay. So that's how this painting started a year ago, and now it's finally finished. Vik Sahay, or as my brain likes to call him 'A Man named Sweden.'

Oh, Thomas...

Tom
Coming to ya all the way back from February 2017, the portrait of Voldemort looking smokin' hot in his smokin' hot black suit is done. Still haven't read any of the books or made it past film number four... and actually I don't think I want to know, because I've got this whole story in my head now about Thomas Voldemort who grows up alone and mocked due to his lack of nose and quite frankly alarming skin complexion. but then one day he meets someone really special who turns his lonely existence up-side down and shows him how beautiful he truly is. So there.

The backlog of my imagination

Wulfric
Occasionally I have a little excavation to dig out all the many wips that I've left hanging. So today I decided to finish  this one of Wulfric the Viking. This one comes all the way back from January 2017. Sorry about that Wulfric.

It's a kind of magic

Raynfalg
I've hardly had any time for painting and so when I had the chance, although I'm trying to learn Procreate, the siren call of Photoshop was too hard to resist - sorry Procreate (not really, actually). So, here's my visually impaired sorcerer Raynfalg doing some magic.

Things to do

Yudaina
... when you're recovering from the flu.
A lil' painting of my nomad King Yudaina, based on the one, the only, Hiroyuki Sanada!

Pistachio-nuts about the boy

'5 Second Rule'
Probably it's been under the sofa for 5 five weeks. Finally found a bit of time for some personal work. Wip of little Micky.

A beautiful, beautiful man

Takeshi Nomura ME
Holy moly there's just so much going on at the moment. But here is a little sketch of a character that hangs out with Precious and little Micky. Takeshi Nomura, medical examiner - writer of poetry, master of power napping and perfectly capable of snapping your neck. And of course he has to be the spitting image of Hiroyuki Sanada, need I even explain why ;-)

Moar faces!


The 29 Faces are back! Yay! This February is going to be quite busy for me for various reasons, so I don't know how many faces I will manage. I'm already behind since I was travelling back to the UK from States on the 1st. But here is face number one, an elf in hues of blue. Happy Black History month.

Happy New Year!

Micky - wip
Once again I'm with la familia in ye olde country for new year but this time there has been a computer upgrade! And while the monitor may be smaller, this time around my PSD files haven't forced the computer to it's knees, making it beg for mercy.
My first painting for 2018. Little Micky off to do a spot of flying with Precious the pilot. Almost done, but still some tweaking to do. 
May 2018 bring you all many wonderful and groovy things. :-)
