My very first drawing as a 1-year old that my mother graciously has saved.
My style hasn’t essentially changed – this is how my Apokryfia sketch books still often look like.
Drawing: Furnica (1999)
Pablo Picasso‘s Guernica (1938) is one of my all-time favorite paintings.
I have made tons of pastiches and studies on it. Here is the very first from 1999: Furnica, pencil on parchment paper.
Graphic Art: Swan Mirror (2008)
The final A4 illustration and original 2008 pencil sketch, which was finally to be an etching aquatint graphic work (2009). It is 21×31 cm and there are about 10 prints with slightly different tones.
This scene depicts a story set in the Springbringer fantasy world.
The layout construction was inspired by the legendary Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress (1982) role-playing game box’s panoramic artwork (the game was released by Sierra On-Line Inc. / SierraVenture).
Another graphic print of Swan Mirror (Proof Series ][) on a more reddish tone than the one above which is more yellow.
Above is a deleted scene from the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi film Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth (2017).
Lithograph: A Land of Shadows (2009)
Pencil sketch 21x29cm, Varjojen maa in Finnish. Final sketch above right and below the lithograph proof. The original drawing has a psychedelic concept of a giant swan creature with legs and huge sharp nails. The final fantasy scene has a curious flower-like deer-faced giant meeting a black swan on a dried-out sea bottom.
This is part of the Springbringer fantasy world.
