Helloo!

After years of people asking (no really some actually did!).
I have scanned a whole sketchbook and flung it up for those interested enough to purchase a 69 page pdf of badgeriness.

Okay, back to digging.

A better cat fellow than my earlier sketch, less like the cat head, human body thing, and more like the weird fluff slinky that cats are.

This is a friend's character in our current d&d game.

I'm joining a d&d group on Friday, so I needed to design my character, a big haired Shadar Kai light cleric.

She uses a lot of candles and oils in her lamp staff.
quite like the idea she has to change lamp candles for concentration spells, and makes horrible magical oil from some dead monsters.

The Nilus is a deep space courier with limited atmospherics, primarily used to ferry water to outer planets (and maybe a bit of smuggling).

Heavily inspired by a visit to the Buran at Speyer.

Plenty more fantasy stuff coming, just trying to ensure finish things!

Ezra is a hobgoblin artificer who has a potion for every occasion... or can attempt to dangerously make one.

I have no idea why so many of you follow me, I mostly feel like an invisible artist in my field. But thank you for your interest.

Here's an old concept I did a decade ago on a game called Elite Dangerous (2014). I started on it when we were 3 people in a backroom, but fairly quickly expanded over development. I really enjoyed designing for hard sci fi and all the thinking that entails.

I did a series of quick mood sketches for gameplay beats and ideas, this was my take on the Krait.

Fairy character idea, I'll call her Lymyntria, it's probably the only chance to play a character with a mermaid skirt.
I quite like her super narrow ring backpack, has suggestions of the insectoid feel.
Also little spy listening kit at her belt.

Here's my concepts for the Fer De Lance for Elite Dangerous.

I did the first one pre Kickstarter launch trying to get a sense of how a super fast yacht might look in space.

Later I was given the Zorgon Petterson ship line to pitch the visuals for. I mixed 50s bombers and Nasa X planes to come up with something that I felt could both contrast the other shipyards and hold it's own aesthetically.

This is my concept design for the Adder in Elite. Much more than the other designs I did, I wanted this to feel closer to a shuttle.

Both because of it's size and how I imagined it being used, grabbing supplies and then being atmospheric.

Concept Art from #elitedangerous, these were some of the super early pieces of key art trying to hit the major beats of 'feeling'.

Some Combat (Our earliest builds were dogfighting around an O'Neil cylinder)
Some trading in the insides of huge spinning stations.
Flying your ship exploring the vastness of space.
