Torosaurus (2000)
I usually use acrylic paints, and besides the traditional tools I really like the airbrush technique. In the case of this picture my method was quite simple. After pencilling I masked the figure, airbrushed the colours, changed the foil and coloured the backround. After removing the foil I sharpened certain parts by using paints. This was followed by drawing some light on the body of the animal with a white pastel pencil to achieve a more three- dimensional effect. This is a really fast technique, but you shouldn’t forget that the airbrush doesn’t work instead of you. More...

Caliban (2004)
The technique here was a bit more complicated. After the drawing process I painted the surface of the figure by hand to provide a better base for airbrushing. After airbrushing the surfaces with colours I removed the foil and started to elaborate the details with a brush. This was followed by the digitalization of the painting and the refinement of the details by Photoshop. More...

Orc War (2005)
The appearance of digital technology was a giant leap in the development of graphic design. Although I like manual work, it was necessary to learn the new technique in order to keep up with modern trends. There was one thing I didn’t want to change – the phase of drawing. I like the sound graphite makes on paper. I used Photoshop for colouring, and as in the case of traditional oil paintings I moved from the back to the front, finishing with the main figure.
Thanks to the numerous opportunities it offers, digital technology allows you to work more freely and boldly, but what I think of the airbrush applies to digital technology too – computers don’t paint instead of you. It’s just a tool like a brush, controlled by our talent and skills.

Orc Dance (2008)
I don’t usually renew my old pictures, but thanks to digital technology I’m tempted to. But it can be a challenge if there’s a chance to make something new or different out of the old thing. In this case the cover was ready before the novel. Three years later, before the printing of the book I felt the picture wasn’t good enough. If it had been an acrylic painting, I wouldn’t have altered it, and it had already been paid for anyway, but I couldn’t let it be published. I had to make some changes, although the publishing company hadn’t asked me to but hadn’t objected to it either. But I felt much better afterwards. More...

Light Sickle (2011)
It was great to be a bit nostalgic while I was using digital technology. I was asked to make an original painting for a book cover. The writer wanted a hand-made painting on his wall, rather than a printed one. I took my old tools and painted it. Although I did everything as I had done in the old days, I realized that a lot of things had changed. Unfortunately my eyesight had got worse, but my hands worked as I wanted them to. I’m sure I ’ll paint in oil in the future, but it was the last time I had used this technique.

Swords (2011)
I like drawing comics but unfortunately I’ve had few opportunities to try it. In 2010 I had a chance to change this situation because I was asked to draw a new series. I was happy to take the offer, although it was impossible to predict how the readers would receive this style. The comic was intended for the foreign market, but we didn’t want to exclude the Hungarian readers either.

I was asked to draw a full comic in 1987. I wrote and drew two stories based on Hugo Preyer’s short stories, and one based on my own ideas. The title of the comic was People and Robots. All my free time was spent working on this comic, because I had a full- time job as well. It was a pleasure to work on this project and I thought of comic making as my future career. It wasn’t the last comic I’ve worked on, but my fate made me turn to other things. Most of the comics you see here were made at that time. More...
