Todays art: A Silent Commision for SF

Sometimes me and my wife cooperate on illustrations and this time around I think we really had it going. This Illustration is a commission for +Simon Forster and I do hope he like it.

Whatever it is I guess you will find out when he release it if he hasn't allready.

EPG: Some art

I am about to move to a new place, and have no actual time, so that is why I got seated at the desk and made some art for the expanded petty gods. It is gonna be a real killer that book with about 380 pages of strange trivial gods.

Art of today: A mystery of Sigils lost

This weekend I will DM an adventure earlier mentioned on this blog, "the Fifth Advent". Today you will get to see one of the illustrations from this;

It is a dark religious mystery sandbox that take way to long time to play for a convention but what the hell, it will be fun and I'm looking forward to it! :)

(oh, it contains maps from +Simon Forster so it is destined to rock! ;) )

Art of today: Lanterns Light

Sometimes you draw some illustration and they just go sour on you. At a first glance I guess some people think this look good in some way but the truth is that I just think this picture have 29 faults and the fake light is just one of them. ;)

I have posted very little on the blog lately. I have been writing on some adventure for KlossCon and it really just consume all the time I have when not at work. This above picture is actually one of many lunch-break pictures I make. The lunch is often a small drawing session for me and it is both relaxing and fun.

Why the dragon in my nose ate the bugger

When I was young I always bealived I were to become the new HR Giger or something, cause you need a little delusions of grandeur to kickstart your life. The truth became that I took a lousy job, as each struggling artist need a lousy one, but then I forgot to draw and paint. I had this gap of no roleplaying and no drawing for almost ten years.

Then two of my friends contacted me and wanted me to draw some illustrations for the swedish RPG "Svärd och Svartkonst" and I jumped on this train with no expectations on my own skill, what this OSR thing really was and if I could deliver anything after this large gap.

I can't say I am great at drawing but I can say I am quite good. The positive response from a lot of you reading this blog at times is proof enough for this conclusion how much I still want to be modest.

Ok, this is the tuesday rant but I need you to bear with me a bit longer.

Back in the days when I did the obligatory swedish military service I met this  sweet strange man, +Jonas Wideen , that later became a friend of mine even if we haven't met for some century. Good thing social media exist so people don't loose all contact with eachother. :)

Anyways, I draw smaller illustrations and are quite happy with that. He on the other hand do this more proffesional drawings with real paint and such.

My plan is to feature a few of his pieces here on Aenglum so we can broaden his audience as some of his art are right down the pocket of OSR I think and if you THE READER want this piece on your wall at home, you should contact either me or Jonas Wideen even better. He is one of those artist that actually live on his art, contradictory to me... as +Erik Tenkar call it; beer money. I just do all this for fun and beer and not profit. ;)

Todays art of Jonas is a fire breathing dragon;

Art of Today: The unghouly Ghast

Inspiration by a childrens book illustrated by Erica Henderson. All children need their first mythos.

Art of today: The Cyclops searching

Me and my wife both like to illustrate, and now and then we help eachother out, and she really helped me out with this piece and elevated it a bit further. Thank you +Josefin Magnusson, Love you!

Art of today: The Jotun Giant

Stumbled upon the Jotun Giant and got inspired to make a illustration out of one. Thanks to Svarte Grim I played around with a bit of perspective to. :)

Art of Today: Female templar and Male Assassin

Bored as hell this sunday as I am every sunday so I drew a little

Female Templar

Trying to keep the women more tough as nails and not fall into the sterotyphical bullshit with no clothes and pouting lips and ass.

Male Assassin (Thinking about the world)

Art of today: The lichkid

"Forever dancing in the cold light of the tomb,

her short sad story on that mossy stone eternally told, 

holding her teddy dear in a cold embrace,

the plays on the graveyards soil so damp and cold,

what is that in your other hand you hold behind your back?

Oh no, it is my own deaths grin I see in the old cold blade of steel! "

The Lichkid and eternal plays

art of today: Osquip

saw this amasing map by Simon Forster and those holes with Osquips so I thought that I needed to draw one of those amazing beautiful critters.

Hungry Osquip

I am starting to feel like drawing some dungeons too. Maybe need to add a lot of these ones to that one to. :)

Art of today: Minotaur directions

With a minotaur in a group of adventurers. Who is gonna tell that bull to not follow every red cloth in the labyrint?

Art of today: A female minotaur Thief

Inspired by minotaurs as a playable race and was thinking of breaking out from the norm and make both a female and a thief character.

The first question was how to make a minotaur even look female. I think I made it look femenin enough.

And then to have it look stealthy enough and still be a minotaur. 

In the end I think I lean to think that minotaurs really should be a playable race in Aenglum. What do you think?

Some art over at the tavern!

A couple of my illustrations will be featured over at Tenkars Tavern.
They will appear in a competition; which in itself isn't decided anything about.

You can see the whole article here

Some cult summoning a deamonchild or something?

It is gonna be great to follow the progress of this and what will become of it all!
