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:

This is really creepy in a way that makes me forget that I don't like creepy images. The contrast between detail and object blending is also fantastic. Nicely done Uwe.

Hehe, Orietta has longer eyelashes! (She is so funny!). This is a great monster--I think he would be beautiful as a yeti in the snow with those green eyes. I like the way you distorted the horizon too and brought the colors up into the sky--a very nice painting as well as a scary one!

this is awesome.. it still amazes me that you used gouache on these works.. I have attempted it a few times and end up getting frustrated with the medium... excellent as always :)

Gosh you make the coolest covers ever! The colors here are fabulous and the subject is so creepy anyone who sees it will grab it! This reminds me of when I take my kids to the local record shop for music and I drive them crazy because I spend so much time there looking at the graphics on the CD covers. lol Guess I should look at video covers now too! Wonderful job!
vbarreto
For sure I like this. Colors and composition are superb!!

They say you can never tell a book (or movie as in this case) by its cover, but isn't that the first thing that grabs your attention? I'm sure that even if it was a Z grade horror this cover will be chosen many a time ;) Thank you so much for sharing :) I adore the textures on his face especially :D Gorgeously gruesome :D
