Digital Art Live Issue 71 - "Battle!"

Digital Art Live provides in-depth interviews of digital artists who share their inspirations, workflows and stunning artwork from their portfolios.

Welcome to this month’s issue of your monthly magazine. It’s the “Battle” themed issue, with a focus on the warfare of the pre-gunpowder period and with some touches of fantasy. There’s a large and growing interest in such matters. Though we can’t adequately cover this lively artistic scene here, we hope that we give a small flavour of it

Digital Art Live serves digital artists around the world and is free for this issue, but every little helps towards the production of this unique publication.

MARTIN KLEKNER

After his success as a cut-scene creator for a major videogame, Martin is now developing his own epic Heroes of Bronze project.

BLENDER | 2D | PBR

“In my Heroes of Bronze project, I aim to combine everything I love to do: writing stories, creating engaging characters and making historical images. I usually have a 3D base and paint over it in Photoshop. I try to be as historically accurate as possible.”

KOSTAS NIKELLIS

In Greece, Kostas has long been making his impressive pictures of ancient battle, using Poser and Bryce.

POSER | BRYCE

“When I create for myself I let the image be created by itself. It usually leads to a different result than I originally had in mind. Yet the joy of creating is far greater, since I feel I somehow overcome myself and express myself as my feelings deserve.”

‘GETERAFROMFAERUN’

Getera from Greece enjoys both the world of DAZ rendering and role-playing games, and creatively combines them.

DAZ STUDIO | RPGs

“I never just download a DAZ content bundle and use it ‘as is’. I always combine different elements, little by little, picking up things from everywhere and forming the final look. Almost everything gets some customizing, all characters deserve detailed work.”
