Poster for the 7th Tolkien Conference in Jena, Germany (2010)

The 2010 seminar organised by the German Tolkien Society and Walking Tree Publishers deals with "Tolkien and Romanticism". For the illustration, I "quoted" a painting by German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich entitled "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog" (1817/18), altering it a little to give it a Tolkienean touch.

Poster for the 6th Tolkien Conference in Hannover, Germany (2009)

The 2009 seminar organised by the German Tolkien Society and Walking Tree Publishers deals with "Violence, Conflict and War in Tolkien". Instead of drawing a fierce battle or a heap of bodies, I decided to show a less bloody scene: Rohirrim charging the enemy.

"First fitting"

"The Entertainers" (all 2008)

Faramir in disguise. And yes, he is not too happy about it. The two ladies in the first image are Narejde and Hanîje, and the two gentlemen in the second Mezlâr and Lôkhî. From The Snake's Checkmate.

"In the bath"

"The graveyard"

"Faramir and Narejde"

"Faramir preparing an ambush" (all 2008)

Poster for the 5th Tolkien Conference in Jena, Germany (2008)

More information about the conference (most of the talks of which are in English) can be found here.

"Conversation with lioness"

"Éowyn dressed for Consorts' Breakfast"

"Eowyn and the Grey Lady"

"Testing the boundaries"

"Changes"

"Éowyn and the Snake" (all 2007)

Since my co-author Lady of Rohan complained about me only drawing pictures of Faramir inspired by our fanfiction, here are a few sketches of Éowyn in various scenes from The Snake's Checkmate. The scene with bad guy Al-Jahmîr behind her is even creepier in the story.

"That depends on the manner of your return" (2007)

Sketches and the finished inkdrawing for the cover of the 4th edition of the Noble Steward's Chronicles

Wounded during battle on the corsair-ship while guarding his captain Faramir, the Ranger Dorgil (actually the healer of the company) is in need of treatment, so Faramir tends to him. From The Snake's Checkmate.

"Ranger" (2007)

A pencil-sketch of Faramir in Ithilien, the resulting etching, and one of the prints done from the plate, out of a series of 20. Actually, this is my first etching for a very long time, but I needed to refresh my knowledge of the technique in order to teach my students properly.

Print is available in the shop

"Checkmate" (2007)

Actually a scene from an earlier fanfiction, which can be found here: Faramir playing (and winning) a game of chess against his arch-enemy Marek Al-Jahmîr.
