Dragon Art - Title: "Carrot Run"

Dragons, dragons and more dragons! Here's a piece I did recently. Unfortunately I didn't do it in time for our Dragon Sketches book.

If you'd like to see more dragon illustrations please visit our Dragons section of our portfolio.

Title: CARROT RUN by Bobby Chiu
Software: Photoshop
Description: "Every year, a young member of the Fuz'hy Lindt Tribe who has come of age must prove his worth by donning the blessed regalia of the sacred carrot and leading the Tribe on the Great Hunt. Only the fastest and bravest of warriors will ensure a successful Carrot Run, providing food for the Tribe through the winter."



Here's a fun animated gif I put together to show a bit of work in progress.

Wish You Were Here

Schoolism news - My Digital Painting Techniques class for November is now FULL. I will set up a new class for registration as soon as I figure out my schedule. I'm thinking of having it start in January sometime. I'll update you within the next couple of days.

Here's a collaboration piece I did with a talented painter named Peter Chan this summer.

It's the cover art for Creative Engine's next catalog - volume 41.

Dragon Song

Here's another painting from our Dragon Sketches book!

People that know me, know I LOVE music. It's so inspiring sometimes. I was planning on going salsa while I was painting this one. :)

The story is about a dragon that rescues the princess from her horrible prince and the two become the best of friends and live happily ever after....hahahaha...

Dragon Art Book

Hi all,

Here's one of my dragons from the book! Every new book we make is like counting down the days till Christmas. Can't wait for it to arrive from our printer.

I like this guy. He was pretty fun to draw. It all started from the little sketch I painted in the bottom corner and from that came the pen drawing.
