The Chimera Experiment

There is a contest at ICE (developers of the Rolemaster roleplaying rule set) for Chimera Creatures.

These are but the 2 initial creatures. Hardly bone chillingly fearsome until you realise that the Lick is 10′ tall! 8O

As for the Wabbit, his bite is certainly bigger than it’s bark!

Temple Map Contest – Azreith

This in my final entry into the ICE (Iron Crown Enterprises) Temple Map Contest and a few of the interior illustrations. Click on the cover image on the left to download the PDF. The file is 19MB.

Here’s the rough digital painting I did for the cover as well as the intro spread to the PDF where I’d dropped in some of my biro sketches.

My entry was a runner-up. The PDF map included a ‘Master the Map©’ feature which allowed you to select one of the three options – the ground floor, the first floor or the secret locations – and the pages would update within the PDF overlaying the base image of the Temple which allows you to show a lot or a little leaving the choices up to you.

ICE are going to be doing more Map contests and I’ll include my future entries on this site – the next one is a Crypt Map.

In the meantime, they’re running a different contest concurrently; it’s a Chimera Creature creation. I’ll add some of my early versions next. :)

Iron Crown Enterprises are the creator of the Rolemaster, Spacemaster and Harp roleplay rule sets.

Plasma Mage

After a very long time, I’ve picked up the old paint brush again (or Wacom tablet to be precise).

This is the first of many hopefully and will form the basis of my art portfolio site (not to be confused with my graphic design portfolio site – CJ Productions)

What do you think?

Warrior Mage.
