Ent-Druid

I have exams in university since the beginning of June. So don't have enough time for even sketching. But I trying to cope with it, so tomorrow I will have the last exam and after it - absolute freedom for two month!

So it may happens that these two pictures are last for the summer - I suppose that I gonna travel much this time!

First - the Photoshop painting of the fantasy Ent-Druid. He casts some healing or growing spell, I think.

And this sketch I made few month ago. It is elven ambassador on the reception of the dwarf's King.

In December I shown my sketches with rabbit for 2011-calendar in newspaper. Now I will post illustrations I made for each month. Ideas for pictures came to Chief Editor and she just told me what she wants to see. In every month she chosen two out-of-the-way holidays and I tried to show them with this rabbit-character.

November - rural women day, boss day.

September - day of struggle against war toy, day of smile.

July - programmer's day, fisher's day.

June - day of desert, day of finances.

May - day of shopping, day of exchange.

April - gypsy's day, secretary day.

March - pet day, accountant day.

February - swamp day.

January - hugs day, day of straw.

Father and son

Here's a two great musicians who had concert in Voronezh yesterday. Nickolay Vintskevich and Leonid Vinthkevich are playing really great jazz! It's kind of family tradition for them.

Elf-scout

I tried to draw this elf in the style of American Indians. That's why I added to him amulets and feathers and made lot of brown shades.

Banjo pigs

With the help of Shane Lewis I founded very interesting blog: artists are dueling in drawing pigs with banjo. And I thought it could be interesting for me to take part in it. I thought that it could be funny to use stereotypes. So, you can see fat American pig with banjo and hamburger, and alcohol-drinkin Russian pig in cap with ear flaps and with balalaika.

Scetch with Rock-Group

I know all these guys since school years. Now they play real hard rock!

Scetch with girl

She was so cute posing this way.

Defenders of the Doriath

It took long to draw this picture. I was inspired mostly by Tolkien's "Silmarillion".

Oprichnik

An oprichnik was a member of an organization established by Tsar Ivan the Terrible to govern the division of Russia known as the Oprichnina (1565-1572). They dressed in black garb, similar to a monastic habit, and bore the strange insignia of a severed dog's head (to sniff out treason and the enemies of the Tsar) and a broom (to sweep them away). The dog's head was also symbolic of "nipping at the heels of the Tsar's enemies." They were sometimes called the "Tsar's Dogs" on account of their loyalty to him. They also rode black horses in order to inspire greater terror.
