Hell Devil!

A cover for the 'Hell Devil' EP by metal band Amadis. When an art brief includes a medieval knight, a pistol-weilding nun, an evil nemesis, a space suited hero riding a terrorbird and wielding a magical broadsword, a supercharged death racer, an apocalyptic bare-chested badass discharging his AK-47 into the air and a t-rex equipped with laser guided missiles, you know you've landed a fun gig..!

 

Plus, the band rock! Check 'em out -

Monsters!

 

Some beasties done for Wizards of the Coast. Painting these dudes was a big deal for me because after years illustrating various other RPG products, this was my first work for the big daddy, Dungeons and Dragons.

As a teenage lad I'd sit in my bedroom marvelling at art from the likes of Jeff Easley and Larry Elmore in the D&D books and imagine my own humble scribbles on those pages one day. It took a little while ( over twenty years! ) but it was worth the wait - opening a copy of Monster Manual 3 to see one of my doodles peering out was a little dream come true.

Revenge of the Gherkinoids

Finished the B-Movie image. Here are the final steps and completed picture.


The Zucchinians became Gherkinoids once I discovered that the zucchini is a more distant relative of the pickling cucumber than I first thought.


"We imprisoned their cousins in jars - now mankind is in the pickle!"

B-Movie

I've enetered the 'B-Movie' challenge over at CGSociety. I'm not sure if I'll get if finished with the deadline just two weeks away, but the topic is irresistable!

 

 

Concept goes something like this: Humans preserve gherkins in vinegar. The Zucchinians disapprove of their cousins being treated in this manner and decide to teach humankind a lesson. Poor Debbie is snatched up just one bite into a crunchy dill. What terrible fate awaits her? Can Miss Pickles, her faithful pooch, save the day or is it the end of Deborah Cornichon and millions of gherkin-munchers across the globe?


We'll never know unless they make a film out of it.


I'll post updates as I go along. In case I forget, the challenge thread is linked below -
