X is for Cross of Providence

A depiction of a small pendant from Myrskynlintu - Stormcrow. Four arrow points converging.

U is for Unnatural cravings

Part of the Myrskynlintu - Stromcrow -storyline, Deleana here has snuck away for a light midnight snack. No, she's not crazy, just a bit - um, pregnant.

Disclaimer: No rats were physically harmed in the production of this drawing.

S is for Saria and Ramir

Saria, the Stormcrow, you've met before. Here she is with Ramir, who until just a few moments ago was your ordinary, run-of-the-mill dashing young nobleman with far more sense of valor that was good for him. Now, having literally confronted his inner demons, he's a man changed - and not a bit happy about it.

K is for Kara the raven

Okay, here's a redeemer for the yesterday's raven pic. Of course, this one's drawn from photographic references. I don't know why a part of me still considers that to be kind of cheating.

H is for Hell-hounds

It took a lot of references to get the poses right. Originally intended as a small vignette, so the shading might seem a tad heavy-handed.

G is for Gang of Mercenaries

Another one of the Myrskynlintu - Stormcrow project. The armour is getting better, although.. is that supposed to be studded leather? *sighs*. Oh well, can't win them all.

E is for Enna the Seeress

Another drawing from Myrskynlintu - Stormcrow: Saria, the plucky heroine of the tale, is getting her fortunes told by a wisewoman. Probably one of the first drawings I made for the project.

D is for Demons in the Snow

I wanted to illustrate a story. Or novel. But I was not comfortable in doing someone else's world or characters, and so decided that the easy way was to write a novel myself, and do the illustrations - and the whole lay-outo f course - for it. Thus began my on-off project Myrskynlintu (Stormcrow). The main problem was that I never really knew whether I should have concentrated on the writing or the images, and eventually I lost steam. I usually had these quite vivid images of the different, key scenes, and translating those to prose was quite awkward at times.

Well, at least I have a bunch of images to remember it by.
