The Quality of Flame
Another practice sketch from several weeks ago, where I tried to paint the dynamics of cloths against the wind.
The fire is actually an afterthought for added drama.
The Quality of Rain
A practice sketch from a couple of weeks ago, where I tried to refine some figure work and painting of skin.
Star Trek Hybrids
So, I drew some cross-species hybridization as Star Trek aliens are wont to do. For example, Spock is a Human-Vulcan hybrid and K’Ehleyr is a Human-Klingon hybrid.
A Tholian-Vulcan hybrid! I only remembered the pointy eyebrows after I finished drawing.
A Horta-Cardassian hybrid. No space beneath the silicon-based body for a Gul Macet-style mutton chops. And think of the amount of hairspray needed to keep that 'do in shape.
A Tribble-Andorian hybrid. How is this even- I- Never mind. Everyone go home. Nothing to see here.
Brett's Star Wars RPG Group
Recently, Brett Pisinski of Wicked North Games commissioned a group artwork of the adventuring party for his Star Wars Rebels D6 RPG campaign. Here is the final illustration:
(L-R): Kurshk Sho'kre human cyborg from Alderaan, Liakan the Wookiee mercenary, Voss Dorn the Kel Dor former-Jedi and Suna Foss the Togruta cargo hauler captain.
Almost Time for Aidilfitri
Hari Raya Aidilfitri looms at the end of the week. Ramadhan is almost over.
Last weekend, I was tasked with making a Aidilfitri card at work. As seen in the image above, I am in the card climbing a coconut tree. In fact, everyone in the department is in the card.

Ruthermore's First Cover: Redux
The cover of Ruthermore Heidigens and the Fifth Planet was the first in the series that I drew for Ebb and Folks back in 2011.
There was a request for an enhancement of the cover. Originally painted in water colours, I employed GIMP to give it a digital upgrade by smoothing out roughness and applying digital paints where required.
For a look at the original painting, click here.
Ruthermore's Fourth Cover
After creating the cover of David Leyman's debut entry of his science fiction story Ruthermore Heidigens and the Fifth Planet, followed by the covers of two subsequent entries, Ruthermore Heidigens and the Voices and Ruthermore Heidigens and the Nights at the Round Table, now comes the cover I made for the upcoming fourth installment of the series in Ruthermore Heidigens and the Fires of Avalon! Check out the dragon. He seems nice.
Keep an eye out for its ebook release on Amazon at David Leyman's website here!

Finn the Human Stormtrooper
The latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser dropped last week at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015. The internet exploded.
Meanwhile, I drew John Boyega as Finn, from the trailer.
Updated with BB-8 as B-MO!
Alterkine RPG Aliens
I was commissioned by HermaDolph to illustrate ten alien species artwork for the Alterkine role playing game.
Behind the scenes story: I completed one piece of this series before the 8-year-old Linux laptop I've been using for work finally died. Details will be told in a future entry. I completed the rest with a underpowered netbook which took longer than it usually did.
In any case, here they are in alphabetical order:
Candebreth
Edekin
Grandrite
Kaubeth
Keliswen
Medurr
Neryak
Perakor
Saremwen
Watchi

Star Frontiers: Balneum Blue
Last year I illustrated some pictures for Balneum Blue, an article for Star Frontiers RPG. And after more than a year it's finally released in the pages (and the cover) of Star Frontiersman magazine issue 25!
Here's the cover I did, of some gigantic floating aquatic jellyfish creatures called the hydrozoan.
The planet known as Balneum Blue has an intelligent native species called the Gnatha that live in biotech coral cities.
All the image above needs is a map of all the train stops.
Day of Dredd
Earlier this week there was a drive via online social networks for a sequel of 2012's film Dredd starring Karl Urban as Judge Dredd. Known as Day of Dredd, there were many posts and tweets about it across the internet. Even Psi Judge Anderson actress Olivia Thirlby herself made a thank you video for fans who helped with this drive.
Dredd was an enjoyable, very tight, very focused story with just the right balance of grittiness and the absurdness of the future social dynamics of Mega City One. Its violence is very explicit, assaulting viewers with the atrocities of the film's villains. It sets the tone for the grimness of the situation of having Dredd and the rookie Anderson trapped in a vast but somehow claustrophobic Peach Tower residential block by Ma-Ma, the local drug lord played by Lena Headey.
Of course the dire circumstances only serves to accentuate how cathartic the payback is to the criminals when Dredd regains the upper hand. It's no spoiler he would eventually get the upper hand. How he gets there is a roller coaster ride.
Would a Dredd 2 emerge from this effort? Let's hope so.
Here's my contribution to Day of Dredd on Twitter:
Dunjonworx Card Game
I drew some tiles for the Dunjonworx Card Game by DwD Studios. Also, I also made door as transparent PNG that DwD Studios can randomly place on the walls of these rooms, creating different door configuration for each room. Links to the product can be found at the end of this blog entry.
Tendaar in Disguise
Last week, Tendaar the Mon Calamari (from the Age of Rebellion Beginner Box) played by Ivan snuck into Whisper Base wearing an awesome disguise.
I wasn't able to participate in the session but Ivan commissioned an artwork of the pregenerated character in his new disguise. I thought the helmet sells the disguise very well.
The original Fantasy Flight Games Tendaar artwork by Mike Nash can be seen here.
Babs
I drew Babs.
Specifically the new Batgirl costume designed by Cameron Stewart and Babs Tarr.
Also, yay! 1300th entry!
