A Party Of Pig-faced Orcs, Some Goblins And Bugbear Walk Into A Bar...

An Ironbeak, a D&D creature that I created for my blog. You can read about it here.

Spot illo for the Casting The Runes rpg, which is inspired by the writing of M. R. James. The artwork was an attempt to mimic the style of illustrations from Edwardian period. This particular illo depicts the creature described in Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book.

'There was black and tattered drapery about it; the coarse hair covered it as in the drawing. The lower jaw was thin—what can I call it?—shallow, like a beast’s; teeth showed behind the black lips; there was no nose; the eyes, of a fiery yellow, against which the pupils showed black and intense, and the exulting hate and thirst to destroy life which shone there, were the most horrifying features in the whole vision. There was intelligence of a kind in them—intelligence beyond that of a beast, below that of a man.'

Some sort of Cold War-esque jet.

Some spaceship designs. I like weird ships and I cannot lie...

Cover art for an RPG adventure I was writing for the White Star scifi RPG, but will probably convert to the Mothership rpg instead. General vibe was channeling 70s scifi book covers by Chris Foss, Peter Elson, etc.

An alien created for a homebrew adventure I originally ran for Star Frontiers in 1987. These are short creatures with stone age technology, although they do use bits of a very old crashed spaceship.

Do pictures illustrate rollplaying or is rollplaying inspired by pictures?

I've created illustrations for various rpgs over the years, most notably Old School Essentials.

An Umber Hulk

Owl Woman. Drawing created for Creatuanary.

A Vulturebear - when Owlbears just aren't enough. This is a monster I created for my D&D blog and you can read about it here.
