Here is the book cover art that I did for “Heroes of the Fallen” a novel by David J. West, which it available in hardcover and on kindle at Amazon. Silhouettes are easier in a way than full color art, but can be much more restricting, as they have to be done just right to…

Happy Robert Burns Day
I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Robbie Burns Day! I recently did a sketch of a striking Celtic wild woman as inspiration for a short story, and thought I would share it today. Also, it seemed like the best way to make my extremely simple post a little more interesting.
The Battle for Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when atop a small house Old Dwarf Santa was warring, with a bitter cold louse. In keeping with this month’s past dwarf-filled week, here is a dwarven warrior Santa Claus, engaged in an epic battle with the vicious Jack Frost atop a slick snow-covered roof, as he struggles to get…
Dwarf a Day: Dwarf Lass on Battlements
To conclude our Dwarf a Day week, surrounding the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I thought I would finish with a somewhat neglected member of dwarven society: the lady dwarf. Shading each individual stone and finishing up all the details of her clothing, such as the Celtic knot work, beads and fur, actually…
Dwarf a Day: Standing Dwarf Warrior
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opened at midnight last night, and as an ode to the book on which it was based, I thought I would post this sturdy fellow, who’s beard is tucked into his belt, much like the descriptions of many of the dwarves in the book. I really enjoyed doing all the…
Dwarf a Day: King of the Dwarves
As dwellers of the mountains I often imagined dwarves having a fondness for furs and pelts in general, as the temperature high on the peaks where they make their homes would no doubt be bitterly cold. The chain around this dignified dwarf’s neck is partly taken from the description of Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit,…
Dwarf a Day: Well Kempt Dwarf
For day four, we have this interesting character. He has a little bit of a gnome quality to him, but I think he might just be more of an intellectual dwarf. They can’t all be warriors after all.
Dwarf a Day: Battle Worn Dwarf
Here’s a somewhat more detailed sketch of a gnarly dwarf face for today. Though he doesn’t have a full beard as is expected of a proper dwarf, I think with the combination of the scar on his head, and the look on his face, he more than passes in terms of required grit and brawn.
Dwarf a Day: Two Dwarf Sketches
For day two in my Dwarf a Day week leading up to the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I thought I might as well post two little sketches in one picture. That doesn’t mean I’m going to do three for day three or anything like that though, this is likely where the synchronization…
Dwarf a Day: Dwarf Profile Sketch
I decided to start posting a Dwarf a Day for the week leading up to the release of the movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, because it features thirteen dwarves, and I happen to like drawing gnarly dwarves in my free time. This is just a rough sketch of a dwarf profile to start off…
