SF&F Picture 25 out of 54 by Bruno Krippahl.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Impaler

This piece represents a refinement of my watercolour technique. I used the black drawing ink in three different tones by mixing it with water in different quantities, never applying ink straight from the tube. This way, i get much more control over the dark tones. The piece was a birthday present for my girlfried. It should be on the wall by her bed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY an SWEET DREAMS! Love you.

UPDATE - The pic was digitally revamped in Photoshop to gain impact. I uses a wacom tablet to paint in all the extra detail and light.

26 Jan 2004	Nissa Valdesalice	Loading... Ah, a demonic figure on a pile of skulls...and age old gift to represent true love. Excellent job, I don't know how some people get their watercolors so sharp.
27 Feb 2004	Anastasia	Loading... Omg! I have add this in my tour! Is that ok? Bruno Krippahl replies: "I´d love to be in your tour! Absolutely! Tour me up Scotty!"
24 Sep 2004	The Architect	Loading... The Impaler? Anything like 'Vlad the Impaler'? Great work!
3 Nov 2004	Ilwin	Loading... This picture is one of the favourites for me among all the pics ever posted on elfwood. Just look at all the power represented in his face. Immense! Keep up the good work!
16 Jun 2005	Hot babe	Loading... sweet dreams? Considering im afraid of pretty much everything i wouldnt sleep with that above my bed....very creepy...not likely something id give as a birthday present, but i like it, im sort of a 'dark' character
18 Nov 2005	Sulphurette	Loading... The sky is amazing! What a cool effect.
28 Feb 2006	Belphagor	Loading... oh i like the Stoker/Vladimos the Ipaler reference here. If it is a take on Dracula then I must say that it bares a chillingly close resemblence to my own artwork/image of the Count. I love the smug/prideful malice in this guy's twisted little face! you have managed to make him look emaciated but supernaturally gifted: seemingly weak but quite obviously strong. QUALITY!
17 Feb 2007	Freyja M. Stokes	Loading... aaw, he just looks so happy, doesn't he? and all proud of himself, like a manic cat bringing in a small dead mammal for you to enthuse over. Can I keep him? I promise to feed him...
24 Nov 2007	Rebecca Dawn Raab	Loading... Wow, I love the atmosphere of this picture, and parts of it look super realistic (the wing tips at the bottom especially, something about the way they reflect the light makes them nearly pop right off the page).
19 Mar 2008	Marijan Sruk	Loading... Very nice. I like the greenish fog and transition from green to orange. Also, great work with wings - visualizing hard skin on it. And I like the psychotic grin And the fact that he is living in the wasteland )
