    EXODUS: Event Horizon

    Exodus is a science fiction game where humans are colonizing the systems around Proxima Centauri. It is a huge game, created by NSKN Games. “Event Horizon” is the third part of the trilogy, and I had a great time making its cover. Many thanks to Philip and Severin for posing as the pilot!

    EXODUS: Event Horizon will be live on kickstarter until March 3 2017. Check it out here and support a great game!

  • SIMURGH on Kickstarter!

    Hi everybody, it’s been a long time since I posted an update. It has been a really busy time for me, with many new projects, concerts, travel and sleepless nights! Anyway, this Autumn I made the cover and board artwork for the game “Simurgh” by NSKN games. The game was very successful in Essen, and as soon as the fair was over they immediately started work on the expansion of Simurgh, “Call of the Dragonlord”. I will be posting updates on the artwork process soon, but in the meantime make sure to check the kickstarter campaign for Simurgh:

  • “EXODUS: Edge of Extinction” is done!

    “EXODUS: Edge of Extinction” is done!

    It’s been a long time since I posted, very busy time and lots of things going on. Anyway, I am still here and this time I have a video update. The artwork for “EXODUS: Edge of Extinction” is finally finished and you can see my painting process on youtube.

    The game is awesome, the NSKN team has done a great job and they are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on kickstarter with some great goodies as stretch goals. To name some, there are stretch goals that add more materials, double sided cards and if their page receives more than 500 shares or 800 likes on facebook, the backers will receive a special, science fiction themed painting signed from me.

    It’s happening now, so if you are interested check this out here:

  • Concept art for “EXODUS” Expansion

    Concept art for “EXODUS” Expansion

     

    Exodus is a successful science fiction title, published by NSKN Games. The world is inspired from Stanislav Lem’s “the Magellanic Cloud”, and the game features a very sophisticated battle, resource management and economy system.

    I am currently working on the illustrations for the 6 remaining human factions and the cover art for the expansion of the game. Here are some concepts of the factions:

  • The History of our World podcast

    Ancient kings, slaves, stone-age tribes, pharaohs, worshipers, traitors, heroes, gods…beware! The history podcast deals with everything based on facts – the best that can be found anyway – and in a fast-paced, satyrical frenzy that hooks the listener and takes them to a wild race through time and space.

    The man behind the microphone is mr. Rob Monaco, and he does a really good job in bringing history alive. Here is a link to his page featuring the episodes along with additional bibliography, ancient music and even links to ancient recipies! I wish him good luck in this great and ambitious project.

    As an illustrator, I am always on the look for something interesting to listen to. When silence is too…distracting, audiobooks and music will do the trick. So, being a person fascinated with history, legend and folklore I was pleasantly surprised when I found his podcast series a few days ago. At some point, while listening to the episodes about the Jewish patriarchs, an image popped in my mind with the speaker talking while chasing the terrified caricatures of the ancient world.

    Well, here it is:

  • KRITA’s campaign is going great!

     

    Let’s take Krita to the next level!

    Krita, the free and open source painting application, has grown up and is a great tool for digital artists, with many expressive brushes, HDR painting, filters and much, much more. Take a look at how good our last release was:

    Krita is currently avaiable on Windows and Linux. OSX is our super-stretch goal for this project!

    KRITA, the open source painting software has launched a kickstarter campaign  in order to support the next development step of the software. Polishing the already extended list of features and adding support for more tablets and even IOS, seem to be the top priorities.

    There are just 10 days to go, if you are an artist, art enthousiast or would like to contribute to this remarkable work, you can give your support here:
