This is a portion from part of a poster I did for the Legend of the Five Rings a few years back for AEG. I’m not sure if the poster was ever made, because I never got a copy, but they used all of the dragons for cards.

This is a card from the latest WARLORD CCG expansion set, "Shattered Empires."
When I get a Card like this, this exact description I get:
4E-0244
Belt of the Bear
Fighter Item. Armor. Belt.
We see a heavily muscled mid-third of a bare-chested Nothrog fighter. Around his waist is a broad belt, somewhat similar to current day boxing or wrestling champion belts (if a bit more practical to wear). The Metal plate over the belly shows a bear design.
The above illustration was executed in Chromacolour liquid Vinyl Chromacolour International and Sakura .005 Pigma Micron pen on 140lb Arches watercolor paper. 9"x7'

As a beginning sketch, I enhanced the belt area of a nothrog character I had done a few years ago, and then modified the buckle. I usually do a quick sketch on 8.5"x 11" Hammermill color xerox paper (I like drawing on it's ultra smooth surface) then do the detailed under drawing directly on 140 lb Arches watercolor paper using a light box.

Contained
Fit it in a bottle,
Put it in a box,
Keep it with a turtle,
Stuff it in your socks,
Wrap your arms aruound it,
Stick it down the drain,
I don't care what you do with it,
As long as it's contained.

I've been trying to do the Illustration Friday thing for the past six months or so, and I really find it fun to do. If you enjoy creating images and want to give yourself a weekly challenge, give this a try.

The elves in this game are EVIL and use bone and things that are dead for armor. I was going to have a blast with this one, because I love working with skeletons, and absolutely love fish. Warlord is also a commission where I get to "play the villain", and I do so love to act.

Native Mage
Elf. Female. Wizard.
We see a female Elf wizard on a coast. Other than the traditional elves, this one looks like she came out of the water, with her „clothes“ being adorned with shells and other maritime accessories. The ridges and bones theme remains, but the bones are now from whale and other ... things from the deep.
I as a beginning sketch I usually do a quick sketch on 8.5"x 11" Hammermill color xerox paper (I like drawing on it's ultra smooth surface) then do the detailed under drawing directly on 140 lb Arches watercolor paper. I added the waves in the background as a Photoshop enhancement to give the art director an idea of what I was planning to do with the background.

This is the cover to my Little Book of Magical Beings. It is a miniature encyclopedia of magical humanoids from across the world and time. In this next year I will be posting pages and individual illustrations from this book, A Little Book of Monsters and the book I am currently working on, A Little Book of Sea Monsters. If you get some pocket change buy a few from me or let your friends who like mythology know about it. You will be donating to the "Keep Llyn Publishing Fund" and getting really cool books in exchange.
Just as an added note, the designing, writing, and illustration are all mine, and the first 1000 are signed and numbered.
