Evil Halloween Pumpkin Painting - Work In Progress

 A work in progress acrylic painting of an evil Halloween pumpkin. Once again I shall add some updates of my progress as I go along with this painting.

Art, illustration and doodles of Jonathan Grimes

Just thought I'd drop a link here of Jonathans fantasy art blog which you might want to check out with some amazing and quite inspiring artwork. Especially with this Red creature which early on looks like a Small Red Dragon or Demon of some sort, but that may change as Jonathan goes along with this piece of digital art... - Art, illustration and doodles of Jonathan Grimes: Fantasy creature WIP....:

Women In Fantasy Art

Perhaps one of the best examples of women in fantasy art is either one of two highly excellent artists and these two are Luis Royo And Boris Vallejo, these two artists produce great paintings of women in fantasy battles and scenes of danger and peril.

Perhaps more prolific is Boris, who has been painting for years and has honed his craft considerably over the years and plus he usually tag teams with his wife Julie Bell on occasion to split the art duties on several paintings.

The link to this post shows one of them paintings and it is a small snippet of an insight into a way of working that seems to work well for them.

Fantasy Art Women

In reponse to this short post, I am writing a drawing tutorial on drawing basic women in fantasy art and I'll let you know when this is complete.

Dark Demonic Designs

Dark Demonic Designs

I created my first Cafepress store awhile ago now, but I remember at the point of starting out I had no idea how to promote them and so they remained archived in my favourites folder on my computer for ages, until one day I thought, there are others out there, that would have researched in detail how to market your designs out there.

So I started to find out how to do so, the importance of building backlinks and relevant ones became my focal point, then I constantly thought of other ways to drive some traffic to my stores, article marketing, free advertising etc.

Why demons?

Well I've always drawn monsters and created demonic art for ages, in the style of tattoos, tribal or otherwise, so I reckon I had the authority to create lots of demonic art designs on a range of free cafepress stores.

Drawn in Biro - a demon

When drawing monsters, usually I draw with anything to hand, and more often than not I always have a biro handy for writing my stories so I just use one of these to sketch my ideas out, as the same principals apply when applying hard and soft pressure for your shading techniques, and you can simulate some good effects just like you use a pencil for drawing.

Dark Demonic Devil Serpent

This design was a real pleasure to draw as you can tell from this blog that I love to draw monsters and demons, and am in the process of drawing my epic 10 graphic novels and one of them features demons and a range of monsters that I created as a child.

There is just something about creating creatures from your imagination that is just so satisfying, to start with a blank piece of paper and you then end up with a monster or a drawing of a character that could fit into a fantasy world of any sort.

Full A4 page size drawings like the one below can depict all the elements that you want to and it also provides a reference if you need to develop your sketch idea later on.

The Dark Witch Design

This design is from one of my upcoming projects entitled Witches Evil, a graphic novel about the last surviving witches who have troubles with demons alot.

Demon God Of Evil Art Design

This is the demon god of evil and it was inspired by a serpent creature that I drew way back over 4 years ago, and so I re drew it and added a demon on the end with 2 swords, making him a flaming fire colour adds to the hell design of the usual demons.

I like to do the flame design with felt tips as they blend easier with felt tip pens. to do this I start off with the red and either do the edges of the flame or the centre of the flames, then a light orange colour followed by the yellow pen which seems to blend the colours, sort of like a paint glaze.

Using felt tips could be used as a primary medium, but for me it is for visualizing the colours and moving on from there. I've also been known to sketch with felt pens and often I have gone through packs of felt tips in a day, because they run out of colour.

Top Tip - Save all of your old felt tip pens, because they could come in handy for use with paints and other colour mediums when they dry out, just wet the tips and use them like paint brushes, I always like little recycling tips like this!

Drawings and sketches in progress.

Here are a collection of some of my drawings that I am working on at this moment in time. Some are drawings that have remained unfinished and need a little bit more work to finish the art or redraw it somewhat.

I usually sketch them all out in pencil first and then ink them with quality black ink pens that do not leak(the trouble with pens I've had over the years!!)

And then I rub out the pencil marks and scan them into my computer to either add colour or just resize them and transfer them elsewhere.

This lobster demon drawing I sketched out largely with a crappy black biro and it is one of them drawings that I just went along with just for the sake of doodling.

I would certainly like to develop this drawing further to see how I could colour it and develop it more.



The monster thing drawing below was inspired by the alien creature out of the film "The Thing" which is one of my favourite horror films and I often draw alien monster creatures which are a mass of tentacles and bulging flesh.

I'll go back to this drawing and tinker with it on the computer some day!



The blog header below is the rough art that I had the idea for this blog, it is only meant as an experiment and one that will be replaced by a better header as time goes on.

Update as you can see I've quickly added some colour and added it as a temporary blog header. Wayne Tully Fantasy Art logo design looks pretty good, but if I can get my hands on a decent amount of computer memory I can get some good photoshop software or computer art program to assist me in the professional art creation process.

Demons Power Pencil Sketch A Comic Book Concept

The demon rose out of the amulet as the power was great and filled with intense rage of being trapped inside the amulet for centuries, but now this creature has been freed there is no stopping this evil that is about to be spread on the land.

The drawing below is taken from the upcoming Book of evil a graphic novel that will be written and drawn by me and I hope to finish this soon.

Comic books are a childhood memory I am happy to think about often as I have many of the comic books still to this day and I just love the art form with the art telling the stories and the dialogue adding to the visual storytelling.

Comic books also help with the inspiration factor too like movies and regular reading books, so I hope to show some more of my comic book art on this blog and write about the inspiration processes and successes in drawing this kind of art as I think this may be useful for you to read.

Welcome I am Wayne Tully - A Fantasy Artist And Writer

Hi, my name is Wayne Tully and I am a very creative person that draws continuously everyday, fantasy art drawings and ideas based on stories I've thought up daily are realized and imaginative concepts are what drives me to go on and on, trying to break into the world of either comic books or just create an existence in which I can explore and be involved in the creation of my story ideas and art concepts.

This blog is all about my art and my experiences in getting somewhere with my art in either a professional way or just gain some recognition for my fantasy artist efforts.
I draw fantasy art related material and am in the process of setting up my own graphic novel set of books, which will probably be available as web comic format....Coming Soon!!

Sometimes I withdraw into my fantasy worlds that I create and often think too much about the characters and how they would react if they was in a film or even real life, more things to do with fantastical monster and creature creation has also inspired me from an early age, seeing the old Sinbad films and such classics as Jason and the Argonauts, with the much laboured over work from Ray Harryhausen, great monsters and and designs that either were based on mythical creatures of greek legend or new creations based on ideas of the time.

Drawing can be quite helpful in terms of realizing visually your ideas, but combined with your written descriptions you have the added value of explaining further the ways and methods your stories play out, giving you two voices in a sense, and these two voices need to co-exist together and compliment each other.
