G is for Gang of Mercenaries

Another one of the Myrskynlintu - Stormcrow project. The armour is getting better, although.. is that supposed to be studded leather? *sighs*. Oh well, can't win them all.

F is for Float-fortress Sneak-sinker

Here's a little vignette I made for a homebrew adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Still Waters Run Deep. The insidious Skaven are preparing a test of their newest secret weapon. Inspired by the Turtle submersible of the American Revolutionary War, I could not help but think that there was a scheme that would totally fit the modus operandi of the ratmen. I also ended up making a model of the submersible, and later a surface support vessel for it.

E is for Enna the Seeress

Another drawing from Myrskynlintu - Stormcrow: Saria, the plucky heroine of the tale, is getting her fortunes told by a wisewoman. Probably one of the first drawings I made for the project.

D is for Demons in the Snow

I wanted to illustrate a story. Or novel. But I was not comfortable in doing someone else's world or characters, and so decided that the easy way was to write a novel myself, and do the illustrations - and the whole lay-outo f course - for it. Thus began my on-off project Myrskynlintu (Stormcrow). The main problem was that I never really knew whether I should have concentrated on the writing or the images, and eventually I lost steam. I usually had these quite vivid images of the different, key scenes, and translating those to prose was quite awkward at times.

Well, at least I have a bunch of images to remember it by.

C is for Comet Seers

One of my few forays in the world on RPG publishing was a brief stint I did for Hero Wars/Heroquest by Greg Stafford. On the whole, it was a learning experience in many ways. Mostly, it taught me that I'm not so great with paint-by-numbers -commissions, especially since I have never been a huge 'fan' of Glorantha, and did not know much about it before I signed up, so I was never very comfortable about what I should - and could draw.

Well, it did fulfill one of my childhood dreams, having my drawings in a published RPG. Nowadays, I'd rather do layouts and such.

B is for Brinda Shelck

'Brinda, of the Shelck Family. Vermin eradicator exraordinaire'. A drawing of my Neverwinter Nights I character from the Escape form Underdark - Persistant World I used to frequent. Rat-catcher by trade, loner by nature, Brinda was a fun character to play. And of course, the gear she sports in the illustration shows only a fraction of the stuff she had in her inventory. I just couldn't get a longbow - or a tower shield - to fit comfortably, for example.

A is for Ambra

Ambra was a major character in a Sci-Fi story   I was planning some time ago, a feline-featured zero-gravity gladiator on a run-down space-station visited by asteroid miners and freighter pilots. The origin of the character started as a thought exercise about how to create a plausible 'cat-girl', and the story just sort of grew from that.

The drawing was going to be coloured afterwards, and therefore the shading and other features are quite minimal. Ambra is supposed to be a blue-creme mackerel tabby, after all.
