Boartusk Liege

Boartusk Liege is another one of my new magic card illustration. It was difficult to get both the rider and the steed equally detailed in the ususal format ( 40x25cm ) so this one I did on watercolor paper stretched up on board. 

I did a lot of sketches of the giant Boar, most of them too naturalsitic. I found that when they looked to much like a real animal it did not seem dangerous enough compared to the Boggart. 

Sketch

This is the colorrough for Tattermonge Duo. I usually do my colorroughs in acrylics, but this time I was sitting by the computer anyway so I tried out the thing I had in my mind. The pencil drawing is an alternative sketch.

This painting is a Magiccard illustration for the Shadowmoore expansion. It is one of my favorite paintings because of the carefree brushstrokes in the background. A lot of things I have aimed for artisticly, succeded in this picture and I would change almost nothing...
