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:

three letters ... OMFG!! (ok, four)

Great Work, like the expression on the face, the feel of the image, and the transition between the lower half and upper half. The only thing that sticks out at me is, I'm not sure the band of dark water on the bottom edge helps the composition or not. Nice Job in any event.
HEJA
Superb, especially the ships.

Not sure I agree with droyd. I think the dark blue at the bottom of the ocean balances out the darker blue of the sky, so I like it.:o) Wonderful image, full of emotion and motion. Love his expression and those bulging veins, and the ships on the turbulent waves are stunning. Very gorgeous work. :o)

:-) - thank you all for your comments - and a special thanks to droyd, as i have the same oppinion, i dont like the dark band at the bottom, but as it is an illustration for a cover, and thats the place where the title has to be, i had to do this dark band - whish clients would hear more what artists have to say ;-) - lol - thanks for the comment droyd, be sure i will show it the client :-) - but you know client is king - ha haha - thanks

Those ships are indeed outstanding! They are tedious to draw with all that rigging, too--I did scrimshaw for a company long ago and I know good ships when I see them;-) And looking at the thumbnail I think the dark band at the bottom is fine--it may not have been your first choice, but you got it to work. And of course your colors are always splendid!
