1:1 details of Hurakan

Hurakan is the largest digital painting I ever did. Its size is 5906 x 4303 px, 50 x 36,43 cm (19.7" x 14.3"). Let me show you some details.

Hurakan, god of storms

Dragon tattoos

I think it's one of the greatest honors to see your art tattooed on someone's body.

Portrait of a savage dwarf

Long live R'n'R!

I'm working on an image for my cousin's tour management company, and just drew this lovely mascot.

1:1 details from the docks

Close-ups of the Seattle dock scene.

Seattle crime

An asian orc Bruce Lee clone is fighting with hellhounds at the docks. Triads vs vories. Shadowrun, Seattle 2072.

Street shamen

An illustration from the Seattle 2072, which is a 200 page, full color beauty - one of the most iconic Shadowrun books ever produced.

It’s a screwed up city. Isolated from the rest of the UCAS, it’s haven for criminals-mugglers, syndicates, gangers. Legal criminals, too-megacorporations, governments, politicians. As beautiful as she is dysfunctional, Seattle is urban sprawl amid rolling hills and forests nestled up to man-made wonders next door to natural and man-made disasters. Whether you’re a native or not, Seattle will draw you in like no other. You can run for a lifetime and never leave Seattle, but some say you can’t run for a lifetime without entering.

Parashield Handler

The other cooperation with Catalyst Game Labs art director Brent Evans. You can find this illustration in the Running Wild sourcebook.

Shamaness

It's an earlier illustration for Rolemaster. Just a chick for Friday. Have a nice weekend!

Shifter Brawl

Rooftop Meal

Description: A pack of gargoyles gathers around the indistinct remains of a meal on the rooftop of a social housing project, covered in graffiti and pockmarked with age. One of the gargoyles in the foreground is tearing the meat that’s still attached to the shoulder joint of a cyberlimb.

Earlier gargoyle illustrations by Jim Nelson
(from the Critters and Paranormal Animals of North America sourcebooks)

Some gargoyles - just for inspiration

The sketch

I received this comment from the Shadowrun development team about the sketch : "One might have a blunt canine snout, another a leonine aspect, and a third might have a beak, instead of a mouth. Essentially, gargoyles resemble the traditional statuary. Just as most examples of the statues look substantially different, it’d be great if these did as well."

The final illustration from the Shadowrun - Running Wild sourcebook

Running Wild is out!
