The arts student

Another character concept for the cutout-style animated series Golden Monkey. The model was the actress Patricia Kovacs.

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.

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!

"Great news people! We have a street date for Running Wild, your guide to everything that’s crittierific! So what’s the date, you ask? It’s - now. Right now. As in, there are copies sitting at lots of FLGSs! So go out and get one! Need a little more info? Well, check out the preview, and get a hint of the vast world of critters, spirits, AIs, and other predators that are waiting to be thrown into your game."

Neue Ufer

I painted this cover for the Heredium novel 'Neue Ufer' by Andreas Schnell. The publisher is 13Mann Verlag: their product is the roleplaying game Rolemaster, too, I have been illustrating for a year.

The eyecandy

And now for something completely different... In 2008 I made some character concepts for a proposed cutout-style animated series called Golden Monkey. The model for this very decorative girl was the actress Lilla Labancz.

Dark chick No. 2

Another NMoF painting from 2004. You can see its modified version in the Toron handbook. The model for this painting was the Spanish goth model and artist Enaer Mara Cortés.

Iblogh 02

Poisonous tongues and tendrils, needle-sharp teeth, color-changing skin, luminous lizardy eyes, and a bottomless stomach: the fatty bastard in full splendour.

Iblogh 01

My first quickies for the disgusting, fungus-like, poisonous, hangdog, and certainly man-eater vault monster.

Sarcophagus

An amund scarab sarcophagus. There is a very dangerous man-eating giant scarab hiding in the hole beneath the faces. And some smaller, too. Unfortunatelly the concept is unfinished, it was just a promising idea.

Amund scarab monster 02

More golden scarab monster concepts.

Amund scarab monster 01

Concepts for the misadventurous M.A.G.U.S. game "Seventh Age". I tried to design a giant, man-eating scarab monster for the evil, inhuman, Egyptian-like people of the desert called amunds.

Dark chick evolution

I painted this girl (and some other stuff) for the M.A.G.U.S. handbook "Toron" in 2004, but the project was cancelled. In that year I was voted among The New Masters of Fantasy artists with this illo - then the years passed and it just slept in a box. The book was finally released in 2008, when I changed and redrew the picture because we rather preferred this darker, only black and white style. I created these wallpapers for the promotion of the handbook:

Sizes: 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024.
