One more sketch from the painting that is being developed in my free time. It was more practice at self-modeling: setting the timer on the camera, jumping into position, checking the results and doing it again until I get what I want. Thursday, August 19, 2010. Monday, August 16, 2010. This is how Escaped Null. Appeared in its final version:. From the Vault: Relics.

Part of the reason I haven't posted in a while is because I took a vacation, hiking around Bryce Canyon in Utah. Maybe another cowboy painting on the horizon? I'll have to see how good my photo reference is . I feel the power . One "Uncommon" and one "Rare.". Larger Leyline of Sanctity. Friday, July 2, 2010. It served to loosen me up and eliminate bad color choices.

Back in February, I was assigned the sequel to At the Queen's Command. Asked for a specific painting to mimic, Of Limited Loyalty. Was a little more open-ended. The short story is that I went with these two John Trumbull paintings:. Had been transformed into a larger monster with wings and Gila Monster coloring&...

View my complete profile. Cyril Van Der Haegen. Metal Magic and Lore. Wizards of the Coast. Even the President uses reference. Updates, updates . Friday, January 28, 2011. I provided a detail to show you what I was most proud of. Whether by the grace of the art gods or by luck, I was able to maintain the transparency of the shadows. I love this effect, but can rarely achieve it. The opaque illuminated head merges quite nicely with the brushstroke-y transparent shadows. Friday, January 21, 2011. Tangents ...

View my complete profile. Cyril Van Der Haegen. Metal Magic and Lore. Wizards of the Coast. An update on my palette. Illustrators are talented people. Thursday, March 31, 2011. I got into Spectrum 18! This time last year was my first entry into the annual publication, and I'm proud to repeat. I don't have any clue whether I got multiple pieces in, but to make the list at all is still a thrill. The list of accepted artists is here. Or here, taken from the Muddy Colors.

I did a ton of thumbnails for Howlpack Alpha, but only came up with one idea that seemed to work for me. The werewolf needed to be jumping through the window, glass shattering around him and if possible, to include a full moon. This is the only way I figured out how to do that:.

View my complete profile. Cyril Van Der Haegen. Metal Magic and Lore. Wizards of the Coast. Monday, November 29, 2010. I debuted this painting at IlluXcon, and have finally gotten around to photographing it. I'll eventually have this painting professionally scanned, as this reproduction doesn't quite capture the contrast and color. You can read more about the Zorn palette on this great blog. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. I made it into the Society of Illustrators. At the Queen's Command. I could go on an...

View my complete profile. Cyril Van Der Haegen. Metal Magic and Lore. Wizards of the Coast. And the rest of Innistrad. Thursday, September 29, 2011. Here are some leftover artist proof sketches from the Innistrad prerelease. Many thanks goes to the Mana Core for hosting the event and the players for stopping by my table. They were giving away my promo card for entering the event, and I was a little surprised how few people wanted a free signature on their card! So ultimately, I had some time to sketch.

Dungeons and Dragons released Fortune Cards recently. I suppose they are cards that somehow determine your fortune within an adventure. I'm not really sure. All I know is that last August I did 5 small, quick illustrations for the product. The original illustrations are on 8x10 canvas. This is only a 7-day auction , so get bidding! It's been a hectic ...

View my complete profile. Cyril Van Der Haegen. Metal Magic and Lore. Wizards of the Coast. And the rest of Innistrad. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. The world of Magic: The Gathering can be a random place. Artists generally have no clue whether their art will be used on a very powerful card or a relatively weak one. Army of the Damned. Is the first mythic rare card I have illustrated, meaning it's the most rare and generally the most powerful kind of card. A total surprise to me. One thing I do have to p...
