Painted Man Illustrated Signatures by Dominik Broniek

Posted by Karen

Hey everyone!

Early this week we saw an amazing fan art made by Dominik Broniek, who illustrated both the Polish versions of The Demon Cycle and the fantastic 10th Anniversary Edition of The Painted Man.

Since he had a part in creating the 10th anniversary edition, it’s only natural Dominik would sign some copies. What’s unusual is what Dominik uses as a signature! Take a look at these amazing Demon illustrations that Dominik ‘signs’ copies of The Painted Man with!

A terrifying wood demon with branch-like horns. The texture of its skin is amazing.

A fire demon with a stare that could ignite you on the spot! I love those skull-like flames!

A wind demon with it’s bat-like wings. The smaller sketch of what it looks like in flight is such a nice touch!

A rock demon in mid-roar! Those horns aren’t to be messed with!

These illustrated signatures Are unbelievable! Dominik is incredibly talented, and a master at working with both pencils and Demons.

If you’d like your own illustrated signature by Dominik, you can contact him for the details!

Fanart: Inktober Arlen in Purple

Posted by Karen

Hey everyone! As we leave the spookiest month behind, we’ve got one more fantastic Inktober piece to share that was inspired by The Demon Cycle.

This awesome art by Hannes AKA Koekemoerhannes was the result for Day 22 of Inktober with the prompt ‘Ghost’. Check it out:

This is so cool. I love the purple watercolor effect and how the shadows on the cloak do indeed make Arlen appear mysterious and ghost-like. Very cool!

Thanks so much to Hannes for showing this off. If you’d like to see more of Hannes art, many with the awesome watercolor splash effect, you can head over to their Instagram.

Fanart: Inktober Ornament Arlen

Posted by Karen

Hey everyone!

Artists have been showing off their finished Inktober pieces now that October is over. As all the lovely inked art makes its way online, we’ve been delighted to see more Demon Cycle Inktober pieces as well! Today I want to show you all one excellent inked Arlen by scared.sue!

I love the bold use of ink in this illustration! There’s a dark, heavier use of ink in the cross hatching of shadows, and a bold use of black to make each ward on Arlen’s skin. There’s also some gorgeous typography Scared.Sue used for the Inktober prompt of that day: Ornament! It’s a fitting prompt for a man covered in wards. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Scared.Sue!
