I am happy to announce I will be attending Japan Expo this year. I will be hosted by a French publisher Editions du Chat Noir, and I will be signing copies of the novel NOX by Eloise Tanghe, for which I had the pleasure to illustrate the cover. Chat Noir will also be selling some A4 poster prints and postcards with my works. Find us in Hall 5A, booth C191. I will be there Thursday through Saturday.

aren't they all just so great? i can't imagine how much work must've gone into these costumes! thank you! :heart:

and while we're on the subject, if anyone else has been considering cosplaying any of my characters please know that my gallery is very cosplay friendly - just let me know which picture you'd like to work on, where i can expect some photos (because i would just love to see them) and, if possible, add a small copyright note when posting. if you need assistance or further explanation of the outfits i'll do my best to help you^^

i will be updating this journal with your works~

it's been a long time since my last entry, have a bunch of updates:

:bulletblack: lords of the fallen

after coming back to poland over a year ago i was lucky enoguh to get a job as a concept artist working on LOTF. my job included designing a number of armors and weapons, illustrating a large part of the equipment cards and some other 2D elements, taking care of feedback for our 3D artists and a number of other tasks.

it was a great pleasure working on this project, with so many amazing developers both at our studio and all over the world. everyone tried their best to deliver a game people might enjoy and we hope those of you who decide to give it a try will find it a fun experience.

i should be able to share some of the concept artworks i've created soon (or so my art director said before) so look forward to those.

for those of you who haven't heard about it, you can learn more about the game on the official website and facebook.

:bulletblack: skillshare class

for those who missed the news: you can now enroll in my skillshare class for free! check out character concept art: from grayscale to full color illustration

:bulletblack: threads artbook

check out the beautiful, fantasy fashion themed artbook threads - it's full of stunning artworks and helpful tutorials by some of deviantart's most talented folk! i am delighted to say that one of my pictures will be included as guest art. check out the kickstarter campaign and support the wonderful artist behind this great book.



:bulletblack: yayuco 2014

finally, over oct31 - nov2 i will be attending this year's yayuco - a bl/gl convention in munich, germany, where i'll be having two short live drawing + Q&A sessions on saturday. the rest of the time you'll be able to find me in the artist alley, offering some postcard prints (they might be available online after the convention if i have any leftovers) as well as con-hon entries. you will also be able to purchase FireangelsDA's artbook dragonlords, which features 6 of my artworks.

please come over and say hi if you're there^^

Due to some technical difficulties early on and in order to provide you with high quality material the class release date is moved to December 23rd. Thank you for your understanding!

----------

I am happy to introduce my first art class that will be provided in cooperation with skillshare.com - Character Concept Art: From Grayscale to Full Color Illustration. The class is currently being prepared and it will introduce the digital painting technique I use most of the time for creating concept art and illustrations. I will talk about Photoshop layers, how you can use them to color your black&white works and the advantages that this particular technique can give you. I will also share some tips about creating character concept art so hopefully those of you who wish to work in game development will find it interesting. I will be adding a video trailer for the class within a week or so.

The class will unlock on December 23rd and it will consist of a number of prerecorded videos so you can enroll and watch them at any time convenient for you. However, if you choose to enroll early you can get 20% discount using the code SKILSHAR (it expires next Friday so hurry^^).

You are encouraged to take part in preparing a class project and share it with your fellow students. I will be checking out everything you post and I will feature the best works here on deviantART and on my facebook fanpage, however I won't be giving individual feedback - you can get tips and suggestions from the other students and help others with their work though!

I will be thankful if you share this information so that more people can learn about the class.

Thank you!
