H is for Hell-hounds

It took a lot of references to get the poses right. Originally intended as a small vignette, so the shading might seem a tad heavy-handed.

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.
