Post The Third
Hey all,
Frenzied work and crazy personal life roller coaster means new posts in this neck of the woods are sporadic. But I'm doing my best!
The cover for a role playing games supplent, Friends of Foes. This book will provide extra material for the recently reissued classic Brit rpg Dragon Warriors.

I had a mare with the palette on this one. Which is pretty funny when it turned out in my usual earth tones. But I came to that predictable conclusion via a very different route than normal, so I felt some progress was made! And that grey green is pretty different for me, and for added otherworldly atmospherics the whole scene being in quite unnatural colours. Local colour out the window!

This is the sixth or seventh cover (I lose count!) I've provided for Dragon Warriors, and a narrative is building surrounding several iconic characters. In this scene we see our heroes after a dismal defeat that occured in this one: http://JonHodgson.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-Warriors-Bestiary-99496884
A mysterious female knight has resuced/captured our iconic knight (he laid over the mule back there) and now our barabrian chum is negotiating his release in his own inimitable fashion... Meanwhile the locals get busy earning a crust off the rich adventurers.

Thought for the day
Sometimes the illustrationist's skill is to take the short film that is the brief and draw a single frame that implies all the others.

Hey All.
Whilst I already have a blog over on LJ, I decided it was high time I actually created something over here on Blogger, since I'm following a bunch of blogs here, either via the blog roll on my google account, or via bookmarks, and so it seems to be where the artz peeps hang out.
The main draw back right now is that I don't have very much that's new to show. I'm a couple of months into what I hope will be a career defining project which is understandably wrapped in a tight blanket of secrecy. Luckily I do have a fairly high turnover of other things too, so hopefully some of them will be replacing this very boring piece of text as soon as.
Meanwhile here's a picture of a monster.
And here's an image from a long term project I've been working on called The Gentleman Cannibal.
