Here's an old one. A Huldre done in University. I'll post some older Halloween related drawings on and off for the rest of the month.

A Valkyrie from a college ptroject on Norse mythology and folklore. Looking at this piece now i can see the direction I was going in combining drawing and painting.

Here is yet another piece from my favorite art school project, my Scandanavian Myth project. This is a pretty dark piece and not very refind but I find it interesting as an experiment. I really wanted in this picture to evoke an expression of mass and shadows and perhaps evil. I'm not very good at evil, I shy away from extremely dark imagery. I think I can infer something dark but a direct visual translation seems false to me. Some artists pull it off really well, like Goya. In this piece I do like the exploration of mood and place, which was the point. After I had done this piece I felt freer to have more finished pieces have a more pronounced sense of emotion and expression.
I watched Revenge Of The Sith yesterday and I can't stop watching the opening spaceship battle sequence. I want to watch it over and over, it's the craziest, coolest thing. Well, I like it.

Hin Eric,love your work! By the by,there is a small award waiting for you on my blog,if you do awards and if you want it,keep up a good work,greatings Sandra
Gorgeous piece! Really nice job with the lighting in this. His reminds me a bit of Neil Gaiman - which, of course, is a good thing.
Great piece, Eric! You achieved a wonderful sense of depth with the background. This character looks a lot less cheerful as those that you do now, I've noticed as well.
Thanks Aleksandra! I really appreciate that and I love meeting new (to me) artists!
thanks Sara!
Thanks Brian! You are totally right, people used to comment all the time on how sad all my characters look. I am a much happier person these days.
