Cover artwork I created for Issue #27 of Frontier Explorer, a free zine for the Star Frontiers rpg. This was an homage to Larry Elmore's original box art for the rpg, this time using the setting's main baddies - the Sathar - as the subject.
This was also an earlyish attempt at a large digital painting. For me, it kinda works in places and generally was good practice.
Two spot illos commissioned for Old School Essentials. On the left, Strangleweed drags a hapless elf to her doom. On the right, a Cloak of Flying is used to make a hasty escape.
A Xorn snacks on some tasty treasure, despite the pesky dwarves. Spot illustration commissioned for Old School Essentials.
A Flail Snail. Spot illustration for Old School Essentials. This was the first illustration I was asked to create for OSE, which pleased me no end as the Flail Snail is one of my all-time favourite D&D monsters.
A Hiver messing around with some tech. Spot illo for the Star Frontiers zine Frontier Explorer (which occasionally featured Traveller rpg material).
Sketch of a goblin. I tend to see goblins in AD&D as being bat-like in face, so here I'm messing around with that concept.
I played Runequest quite a lot from 1985 to about '87, and always liked that it featured ducks as a playable race. I had a duck barbarian character called Koduck Instamantix.
'Crush your enemies eggs, see them rolling before you, and to hear the lamentation of the ducklings'.
I've always liked the illustration of a Bugbear from the 1E AD&D Monster Manual (drawn by David Sutherland). It made them seem slightly unhinged. My Bugbear sketches are trying to tap into the same vibe.
Another 'weird' spaceship design.
Some random creature sketches.
Cthulhu. This is the fat, bloated, 6-eyed version based on H.P. Lovecraft's own sketch.
Digital painting and an older pencil sketch of a Sathar, the bad guys from the Star Frontiers rpg setting.
A Chanda Series 303 Trek droid, for all your arctic travel needs. This one includes a 'howdah'-type hump to carry a passenger. At night, the 'antlers' light the way with a powerful glow.
Chanda Series 99 wardroid striding through the grasslands on Altair IV.
A Morrigan in mid-transformation. Created for Creatuanary.
The Egyptian goddess Sakhmet. Drawn for Creatuanary.
Space Whales being bugged by Space Dolphins in their pursuit ships.
Fenrir. Image created for Creatuanary.
Owl Woman. Drawing created for Creatuanary.
Pig-faced orcs. This might be the cover for their next album. They haven't decided yet.
Spot illo of a Kelpie, for Warhorse Adventures.
Pencil drawings of sea dragons - D&D monsters I created for my blog. You can read about them here and here.
A Mooncat. Spot illo for the Karst rpg.
A Quillbeast. Spot illo for the Karst rpg.
Pen and ink drawing of a shrew armed with a falchion and shield, wearing a gambeson. Because... why not.
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.'

A survey ship navigates it's way through asteroids as it skirts the edge of a nascent solar system.
Going for a Ralph McQuarrie/Chris Foss/Chris Moore/Peter Elson vibe.
