Hello everybody! If nobody minds, I would like to share few works of mine related to Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate universes here. Some of them are from some are new. Your feedback will be very appreciated and please feel free to express your opinions, suggestions or concerns. Thank you very much for watching!

The first one is an oldie of mine, Icewind Dale inspired piece which is called "Welcome to Eastheaven" - some alternative vision of famous landmark. The source with process is here.

Next one is another Icewind Dale inspired piece, "The Long Road". As usual, source is here.

Another villain that I was impressed once - "Kagnaxx", the Lich. Some sort of a spin off as he should look like as an complete undead. The image shows the moment of his transformation from the warlock to lich itself. Source with full article is here as well.

Your landscapes are amazing.

ashafetov

#lolien thank you very much! I will try to add some fresh stuff a bit later. Those are outdated, but fit the topic though.

@ashafetov Wow! These are some of the finest pieces of Digital Art I've ever seen! The landscapes are vibrant and scenic, the balance of lights and shadows is impressive, and the expressions on the characters are so life-like!

ashafetov

#Rik_Kirtaniya thank you so much! I do really appreciate.

Long time no update.. Here is another old piece of mine with character avatar animations. Those were inspired by amazing works of Patrick Lambert for the old TBS "Disciples". Thank you for watching!

Anyone else here NOT realize that some of these pics are gifs, and then get completely freaked out when they moved?

Oh.. sorry about that, I have received such feedback before. Sorry for all this creepiness, but I normally do write this in description

Hello guys! It has been a while since my latest update. We, together with Baldur's Gate EE Community wrote an open letter for Beamdog with modding-related content request. I was honored to put my latest BG fan art into it. If you are curious or just want to support us, please visit this forum thread. Your help is more than much appreciated! In meantime here are few artworks, dedicated to "The Siege of Dragonspear" Universe.

Hello guys! yet another quick update related to the next Wild Surge '12 Issue. My artwork served as a cover to this, full of giants, issue. Please feel free to give it a look and support guys for all their tremendous work done. Thank you in advance!

Valeriya

My favorite is "The Ruined Fortress", it has a grim-gritty atmosphere, kinda reminds me of the Witcher.

ashafetov

Oh, thank you @Valeriya ! Silly, but the "Ruined Fortress" is the very first more or less good image of mine, from 4 years ago.

ashafetov

I has been a while since last update. I hope you all were having nice holidays and feel refreshed for the next (or current?) year. Here are few things from 2018 I forgot to publish here. More here, as always. Thank you very much for watching!

Skatan

Wow, just WOW! I had completely missed this thread until now. I'm blown away by your talent, your art! It's everything I wish I could do and more. Thank you for sharing!
