It is the whisperer, tell him the name of one you hate AND of one you love - the whisperer will take both of their lives. - This is a very old artwork I painted. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Flashing Smurf and Orc, a private painting.
I painted this artwork during a painting session with my sons. Did the the last tweaks in 2 or 3 extra rounds. This is one of those works where you start with a face and see how it develops.

Master of Skitarii, painted for Cubicle 7 / Games Workshop 2 years ago.
Again it's small vignette with a quite narrow range of time to finish. Btw. I like the color scheme GW has given the Mechanicum ...

Doom Weaver, painted for Wizards of the Coast more than 6 years ago. Black cards are always a bit challenging; I used the red contrast to give back all that dead black and deep blue some life.

Explorator Majoris, painted for Cubicle 7 /Games Workshop.
Yet another vignette with a relatively tight deadline due to the limited budget.

Great Unclean One for Magic: The Gathering / Warhammer 40,000 that sickly yellow-green color is activated with several reds which are eye-catchers at the same time, a breadcrumb trail for the viewers eyes leading to the little Nurgling on his palm. #DemonArt #Warhammer40k #HelgeCBalzer #Painting

Glaurung - personal artwork - painted based on Tolkien's Silmarillion. The dragon defeats Turin at the ruined gate of Nargothrond not in battle, but with a single, mesmerizing glance.

Daggermaw Megalodon, painted for Wizards of the Coast (Duskmourn) - Making of.
Here, I’ve combined absurdity with horror. Ca. 18h working time.

Daggermaw Megalodon, painted for Wizards of the Coast (Duskmourn) more than 3 years ago. I’ve included a little surprise … do you see the cable running from the box to the hand of the supposed victim? ;)

Invictus-Acquisitor, painted for Cubicle 7 / Games Workshop.
This is a small vignette for Warhammer Roleplay. The tricky thing about spot illustrations is that you always have a pretty tight time frame to finish them.

This is an old piece I painted for the Warhammer 40k roleplay line many years after I painted it I made peace with it. It was planned as a cover artwork but ended up in a forgotten archive and had a revival as a spot illu in the new Mechanicum books. #Warpsmith #Warhammer40k #HelgeCBalzer #Painting
