Dalton Arts Guild Membership Show Ends June 30th!

So if anyone was planning on going but wasn't sure how much time they had...go soon, you got a week.  Unfortunately I will not be able to check the show out myself, but I've heard that it was especially good this year.  Many great Berkshire artists involved.  It's important to support local arts, and the Berkshires are trying especially hard to keep culture growing.

Shireen Baratheon

Soon after I finished the Warhammer: Invasion pieces, I was asked to contribute to the Valar Dohaeris deck in the Game of Thrones LCG.  The AD asked me to do a character card of Shireen Baratheon.  She is the daughter of Stannis Baratheon and she has Greyscale on her cheek and neck.  The AD wanted an image of her looking up at a giant at The Wall, and he wanted it from the perspective of the giant.

I am pretty obsessed with the Song of Fire and Ice series, so this was a true honor for me.  This might be a fairly minor character, but just the idea that George R.R. Martin had to give the final OK on the image just makes me so happy.

This was the Save the Date card we sent back in September.  I was highly influenced by a Ukrainian illustrator's, Vladislav Erko, playing cards.  The card's edges were rounded so it the edges looked better in print, like they had been worn.  I did this all in photoshop with my new tablet, it was a lot of fun to try painting that way again, I hadn't digitally painted since college. 
Then we got working on the theme of the wedding, which naturally became based on medieval royalty.  Sarah came up with the idea for the invitations.  They were based on medieval funerary rubbings: I made them to look as close to us while still being stylized.  We were able to find awesome reference of a Danish king, and since I'm Danish, I…

Smilodon and Elasmotherium

I have just finished another two paintings in my ongoing Prehistoric Creatures series.  The most recent four in the series have all been mammals that lived millions of years after the dinosaurs went extinct.  I plan to do seven of these mammals and then go back to dinosaurs, maybe group them into Prehistoric Creatures Series 1, Series 2, etc.  They are all for sale, but they have been snatched up quick, so if anyone as inquiries on pricing, please email me at owweberillustration@gmail.com.
I have been doing pencil portraits of many prehistoric animals on my instagram account, and these two have gotten the most likes, which is a great way of knowing which creature to paint next for this series.  Smilodon is very well know.  Along with the Woolly Mammoth, it's one of the most well known extinct creatures from the Early Pleistocene era.  It was only a matter of time before I was going to paint this guy.  I wanted to show it in a way that was not often depicted.  We've all seen im…
