Barbarians of Lemuria: Mythic Edition

The Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition RPG is finally out!

I did some of the best work I've ever done on this book and am so happy to have it unleashed on the world.

I will post some samples and process articles soon, but in the meantime, get on over to DriveThru and download the df. If you like sword and sorcery (and who doesn't?) you will be doing yourself a favour.

River of Heaven process

Here is a little process for one of the bestiary images for River of Heaven (available now on DriveThruRPG).

The brief was for a Raptor alien species. Essentially a mix of dinosaur and xenomorph: savage predators living in hive-like catacomb spires. I wanted a big lot of teeth and ripped a little more from a T-Rex than a Velociraptor just to make it a little different. Long arms with prehensile hands convey a hint of 'civilisation'. I chose purple for the base to, again, make it a little different. Complimentary shades of green and grey were used for details.

Flats. Shading (on a solid layer of black, details erased out and opacity dropped) and Tones (you can see the palette I used at the bottom: colour-picked from here as I went on). Textures were painted onto the skin with rough brushes and picked out of the shading.

All work done in Sketchbook on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone.

Well it is finally out so I can share with you some of the art which I did for the River of Heaven RPG from D101Games.
I did the whole of the book except the cover, which was done by the mighty John Hodgson before I came on board.

Great game: you should check it out.

(I didn't do this logo by the way, it's just on here as a header.)

Carpathia Gypsy Character

Here is an exclusive preview of one of the sample characters for the Carpathia! RPG.

I've been sitting on this for a while now as I'm currently hard at work on other projects but I wanted to share this with you to show that the project is still moving ahead and that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth.

While other paying projects have to take priority (some of which are awesome fun; I can't wait to share them with you!) Carpathia is very close to my dark heart at all times. Particularly at this time of year.

This was all done in Sketchbook on my phone, as usual.

devilmonkey Page 1

Here is my first pass at page one of 'devilmonkey', my creator-owned comic series (it's about a ninja monkey from hell who kills monsters- real cerebral stuff!)

It needs lettering yet, but I intend to do all of that at the end to maintain text continuity.

It's all drawn in Sketchbook on my phone and then composited together in Photoshop. The logo is a vector done in Inkscape.

Hope you like it.

Barbarians of Lemuria!

The new Mythic edition of Barbarians of Lemuria, the super cool, story - driven fantasy RPG from Beyond Belief Games and Filigree Forge is on its way!
I will be providing a lot of the work in this. I am so excited to be a part of this, having worked on lots of BoL spin-offs.

I love me some fantasy art. I'm so looking forward to getting my teeth into this!

Have a look at the Kickstarter: it's going to be a great success I'm certain, so it will be well worth getting in a pledge now to bag all of the stretch goals which it's gonna meet.

This is a picture of Krondar,  the Conan-a-like from the book. Great fun to draw ( I was watching Conan The Barbarian as I did him!). Great fun to play.

More to come, with some 'making of' goodness.
