BIO
Short Bio: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling was born in 1968. After graduating with a diploma degree in graphic design 1991 he worked as a illustrator and graphic designer further on. His first works were countless covers for videos, books, ... and many technical and architectural illustrations for advertising agencies. An important step in his further development followed in 2000 where he started to develop his "Fantasy Artwork" more seriously and did his first attempts creating his art on a computer. Since 2003 almost all of his work is painted digitally for clients all over the world mainly in the Fantasy Art genre. Uwe lives and works in a little village in the south of Germany. Tools used: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling is a traditional artist using traditional media like oils, watercolors and mainly gouache, but the last years he did the step into creating his art digital. The last 3 years 98% of his images are created using digital tools. Uwe experimented with several digital tools 3d as well as 2d. For 3d he experimented with 3d max, Poser, Vue, Bryce and more nice 3d applications, but as it doesn�t fit him too well he decided to work mainly using 2d digital tools. For his 2d digital images Uwe uses mainly the software Painter, currently version 9, so most of his paintings are now done with Painter. For color corrections of his images or several effects Uwe uses Photoshop. All his latest images are done using Painter 9 and some Painter 9 and Photoshop CS in combination. Uwe currently �paints� on a Macintosh G5 using a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet.
Uwe was voted for January�s 2006 Renderosity Artist of the Month. Read the AOM interview here:

Wow, what a wonderful fantasy picture! Your work always takes me on such an exciting adventure, not only into the world of your characters, but the extraordinary vision inside your artist's sumptuous mind, a seemingly endless wonderland of creativity and talent. I adore being in the perspective of the two 'warriors', poised on a ledge, looking down on the city, ready for whatever may come. And those marvelous stairs leading to dangerous, bizarre looking places. How interesting that it seems to be a water engulfed city. The moon is so big and real I can almost reach out and touch it, and that wolf, he is a wonderful combination of protector and predator. Excellent vision and art. CC

Excellent detail on the figures--the moon is a star player too! I like it very much but i can tell it is an older work--your lighting is more sophisticated and complex now!

awesome guache work... never really liked using guache but you have definately mastered it.. must have been a bit larger than this to create such detail.. otherwise this would have taken forever.. well... it probably took forever anyway ;) EXCELLENT! :)

1994? I was in fourth grade then...wow...anywho, now that you made me feel old. ;o) Fantastic art work! Orignal and very colorful! Great job!!!

Gouache is a very difficult medium to control and blend, not to mention expensive, my compliments. I think the theme of the image is very strong and compelling. A comment/critique is the value structure of the image for a night time work is a bit brilliant. The top half of the image has sold me, but the bottom half feels like broad daylight in comparison.Your technique is exceptionally precise.

Man, I bet this took forever! lol. Awesome details...it is like taking a step back in time. Makes you wonder what caused the city to be engulfed by water and how the wolf survied... as well done as your newer pieces. Can't wait to see more!
