Beast Again

2011-11-25T11:58:00.006+01:00

Just a little bit more refined.

Refined Beast

2011-11-23T13:57:00.003+01:00

A little shading has been added.

Beast

2011-11-22T23:25:00.000+01:00

Just a sketch drawn in between more important real work;-)
Yep, making archaeological maps could be very boring...

Machines And Magic

2011-11-05T11:55:00.004+01:00

Machines and Magic is a compilation of Fantasy and Sci Fi images by 91 International artists from all over the world. Two of my pieces were chosen for this art book compiled and edited by Craig Musselman.

Axl In Colour

Axl Dwarf

2011-10-12T11:45:00.015+02:00

It has been so long since my last update. Things have been a little messy around here... So, here is a pencil drawing from my sketchbook finished in Photoshop. His name is Axl ;-)

Bros

2011-06-05T18:20:00.003+02:00

Pencil sketch, reworked in Photoshop.

Humaleon Step By Step

2011-02-02T16:49:00.027+01:00

This image was made in Photoshop 6.0 at 600 Dpi. The actual pixel dimensions are 5200x3900 pixels.

#1 I usually draw directly on the pencil sketch but this time I decided to make a clear line art. I used a hard edged brush in a multiply layer.

#2 In a normal layer below the outline I added colours, using a hard edged 100% opacity paintbrush.

#3 I added some textures on top of the coloured layer and changed the blending mode to overlay. I used a noise texture to make the image less sterile and CG like. I set this layer's opacity to 50%

#4 I created a new soft light layer to add some shadows with a black, hard edged paintbrush and a soft edged 15-40% opacity airbrush.

#5 More shadows added on some 50-75% opacity soft light layers.

#6 On a new overlay layer on top I drew the light areas using a white, soft edged 10-30% opacity airbrush.

#7 The final image with some colour balance and background elements.

Virus Check

2011-01-26T09:55:00.002+01:00

This morning I had to run a virus scan. This miserable little fellow was drawn during that time.

Dungeon Delve Details

2011-01-06T10:39:00.002+01:00

Some details of the image in its original size.

Dungeon Delve

2011-01-05T11:21:00.005+01:00

This is my entry for the Dungeon Delve Challenge on ArtOrder. I did it in an unusual way 'cause it's digital on rough pencil sketch directly. It was the first time I draw the whole thing in greyscale so I was in trouble with the colours.

Check out all of the other entries!

Neglecting A Blog

2011-01-04T14:54:00.002+01:00

Is there anybody out there?
Well, things didn't quite go as planned last year so I could not find time to update my blog unfortunately. Sorry:) But I promise this will change soon...
Happy New Year anyway!

To Keep A Blog Alive

2010-07-15T15:03:00.003+02:00

I know that I have neglected this blog for long time so I decided that I'm going to try to update more often. I'll post whatever I did recently or formerly:) that I'm happy with.

First here are a few old drawings from my goblin-era;-)

Hope you like it!

I'm very busy nowadays but I allowed myself some days (well, some nights to be more precise:) to get in to this awesome challenge.
Check out all of those great entries!

Burst of Activity

2010-04-02T15:00:00.002+02:00

I'm sorry for neglecting the blog, but I have been busy like hell these days...

Prága/Prague

2010-03-17T10:10:00.004+01:00

A short trip to Prague - I'm afraid a few days were not enough to see this wonderful city...

Kiállítás/Exhibition

My pictures exhibited in Laszló Novák's excellent wrought iron frames in Táncsics Mihály High School, Kaposvár.

Assassin Devil

2010-01-26T20:11:00.004+01:00

I had some spare time (no, it’s not true but I didn’t want to miss that challenge:) so I submitted for Jon Schindehette’s ArtOrder Challenge, Creature Retread - Revisioning D&D’s Assassin Devil.
I did some tiny changes compared to the submitted one, I hope you like it…

The Soul Monger

2010-01-13T10:51:00.002+01:00

Pencil drawing scanned and worked up in Photoshop.

An old pencil sketch.

Dark Jedi

2009-11-24T08:49:00.005+01:00

I finally had some time to finish this image.
Digitally coloured pencil drawing with some 3D models as background elements.
It's just a fan art...

Thanks to Scifi3d.com for the Trade Federation Battle Tank & Sebulba's Pod Racer models.

Late Autumn Hiking

Trees without leaves...

2009-11-05T09:50:00.004+01:00

These are some SW bounty hunter character sketches I did a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Monsters From The Past

2009-10-22T13:57:00.006+02:00

Just two more sketches from the depth of the drawer.

Autumn Outing

2009-10-20T12:18:00.004+02:00

There's nothing like a forest in autumn.

Old Drawings Again

2009-10-16T08:52:00.003+02:00

Just two more drawings from the past...

Old Pencil Drawings

2009-10-05T12:57:00.003+02:00

I'm quite busy nowadays so I don't have time to finish my new stuffs but here are some old - really old drawings.

Praying Mantris

2009-10-02T12:24:00.006+02:00

A lethal predator in the courtyard.

Green Goblin

2009-09-23T12:12:00.006+02:00

This was just a very quick sketch what I coloured and finished to an exhibition a few months ago. I've never been satisfied with it so I thought I should make some changes.

Well, the colours are fit to my concept now and I hope I'll have time to finish the rest of it soon - especially the backgound.

Goblin On Guard

2009-09-16T09:40:00.007+02:00

Digitally coloured pencil drawing combined with 2D textures and some really simple 3D rendered objects. The background picture is from the depths of the web, so if it looks familiar I can assure you there's no commercial use or something :-)

The door and floor textures are from Mayang Adnin. Thanks!

Guardian

2009-09-11T12:14:00.003+02:00

Just an old pencil drawing coloured in Photoshop.

Holiday Sketches

2009-08-17T13:39:00.006+02:00

These are some sketches I did over my holiday.

More Holiday Shots

2009-08-14T13:56:00.002+02:00

Some more pictures from the beautiful Paklenica NP and some photos of Sibenik Old Town.

Holiday Shots

2009-08-13T11:35:00.005+02:00

Some pictures I took on my holiday in the breath-taking Paklenica National Park, Croatia.

Sand Demon

2009-07-21T11:57:00.002+02:00

Just another quick pencil sketch worked up in Photoshop.

Red Sonja

2009-05-11T14:58:00.003+02:00

Present for a friend.

Mencike

2009-05-06T15:36:00.002+02:00

Illustrations to a competition of a hungarian children's book publisher. They didn't like it...

Warrior

2009-04-22T09:33:00.003+02:00

A pencil drawing worked up in photoshop.

Rooftop Thief

2009-04-16T09:02:00.002+02:00

Another attempt to combine digitally coloured pencil drawing with 3D rendered image.
Anyway, it was an old sketch with a rough doodle of the background...

Desert Warrior

2009-04-15T11:46:00.004+02:00

Just a quick pencil sketch, finished in Photoshop.

Gnome Thief

2009-04-03T16:33:00.002+02:00

This time I tried to combine digitally coloured pencil drawing with 3D rendered elements.
I'm not a skilful 3D modeller, so these are just simple objects, but I think it would be an effective method in the future.

Ending

2009-03-24T11:42:00.004+01:00

Thanks a lot to everyone for visiting our exhibition, and thanks for the comments left in the guest book. We hope you all know how much we appreciate your kind words.

Over and over again...

Dwarf

2009-03-13T10:05:00.001+01:00

Thanks to the exhibition and the deadline I could finish some really old stuff at last.

Goblins And Others

2009-03-12T11:38:00.002+01:00

There are Goblins on the wall!
In Laszló Novák's cool iron frames...

Exhibition

2009-03-11T13:02:00.002+01:00

Some of my works and Laszló Novák´s great wrought iron stuff were exhibited in the Exhibition Room of Eötvös Loránd High School in my hometown, Kaposvár.

Thief

2009-02-16T10:41:00.006+01:00

This one was drawn in pencil a long time ago, and this was one of my first digitally coloured drawing.
Well, it's not too colourful actually...

The Vendor

2009-02-10T08:33:00.003+01:00

Thanks Istvan Molnar for the background image, and Mayang Adnin for the floor texture!

Hellboy

2008-12-15T09:29:00.002+01:00

Just a fan piece…

I really like Mike Mignola’s Hellboy stories and his amazing minimalist art style. I did some quick sketch of Hellboy's character recently but I didn’t think that I would ever finish either of them. I've made a couple of adjustment of the posted one, although I wouldn't call it a finished drawing or something...
In the background there is a XII century stone carving of 'Samson fighting with the Lion' from St. Egyed Abbey, Somogyvar.

Original Hellboy character created by Mike Mignola.
Original Hellboy logo designed by Kevin Nowlan.

Zombie

2008-08-26T10:00:00.004+02:00

The usual process: a pencil drawing coloured in PS.
Thanks again Mayang Adnin for the floor texture and background image!

Big Ears

2008-08-22T15:39:00.003+02:00

Some really old stuff got into my hands these days, and this goblin-like creature is one of them.
I think it was drawn about 15 years ago.

Another Orc

2008-08-18T09:16:00.003+02:00

Have I ever mentioned how much I love to draw orcs?

Orc

2008-08-06T09:09:00.002+02:00

Always fun to draw orcs...

Mos Eisley

2008-08-04T13:16:00.009+02:00

A really old stuff with some recent retouch here and there.

Machine Hand

2008-07-31T11:18:00.000+02:00

Well, it's nothing else just a coloured sketch - as in so many cases.

Angry Goblin

2008-07-04T11:27:00.007+02:00

This burly fellow with the nailed club and his little angry buddy were drawn a few years ago, but got into my hands recently so I decided to scan it and add some colours.

Guard

2008-07-03T09:01:00.004+02:00

This surly orc guard was drawn in pencil, and coloured in PS. The background picture was taken by Mayang Adnin, but I changed around a little bit.

Zombies

2008-07-02T12:04:00.003+02:00

These were drawn in pencil and coloured in PS.

In The Woods

2008-07-01T14:29:00.012+02:00

This was drawn after a picture I’d taken in Croatia last year. Thought I'd finish it some day but only added some colours and lights, and I guess it's all for the best.

Assur Horqua

2008-06-18T09:58:00.002+02:00

This was a quick & rough sketch done in pencil. I liked the character, so I decided to scan at least. First I thought I'd leave it that way, but as some details and colours were added it started to take some real shape.
The background was done entirely in the computer.

Thanks Mayang Adnin for the floor texture! I’ve used it so many times!

Mogour

2008-06-16T09:33:00.004+02:00

This little fellow is a RatGoblin - or something alike...

War Paint

2008-06-10T07:32:00.003+02:00

I really enjoy drawing orcs.
Big brutal chin, huge teeth, rough skin, raging eyes and in this unusual case... a little make-up.

Magic Potato

2008-06-09T15:57:00.002+02:00

Instead of working on a must-get-done archeological map I just scribbled all over the paper and what came out of it in the end was a big tattooed potato with some magical skills.

A Really Old Piece

2008-06-04T12:24:00.005+02:00

I drew this in pencil - nearly ten years ago, and coloured in PS lately.

To Begin With...

2008-05-28T09:15:00.004+02:00

Nothing else, just a blank paper.
