And Then Some SWAG Character Requests
It’s the couple of days lull before I leave town for Eid-ul-Fitr vacation at the in-laws, so I had some free time to take on some Star Wars Artists’ Guild requests. Here are three character requests I picked up. I used a new Copicmarker Ciao ink brush I just purchased for their line art.

Superman Saves Cats!
You know what I miss about Superman? Him being sometimes ridiculous and fun. Here’s a tribute to the fun and ridiculous Silver Age Superman with the best ending in the world ever. This might have occurred just after Luthor stole 40 cakes. Click here to view a larger image on DeviantArt.

Ruthermore’s First Cover
Ruthermore Heidigens and the Fifth Planet is the first of David Leyman’s Ruthermore Heidigens science fiction novellas. It features the most powerful wizard in the known universe, simply because he’s the only wizard in the universe. His powers are real, but are they really of a magical source? Here’s the cover for the book I painted recently in watercolour:

SWD6: The Rancid Putrefaction of a Cosmic Caterwauling Cabal
Last Sunday, I ran a Star Wars RPG D6 game for the GOKL group. It started out as a one-shot, but who knows; the tale might continue another time. The Rancid Putrefaction of a Cosmic Caterwauling Cabal Episode 312: All Heaven Broke Loose Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, aboard the space station Kwenn that served as deep space commerce and transport hub, there was a Rebel cell, who sat all day for days in a spacer’s cantina named The Drunken Dewback, waiting for their first mission. Then one day the young bartender gestured them to the bar. She told them to go to Anchorhead on Tatooine where they will be given an important mission briefing. Chapter One – We’re So Starving The Rebel cell consisted of Avril Mantessa, Pew Pew and Tyvokka. Avril was a young Jedi who had been cloistered away and trained by her […]

Bare Bones Cover Process
The Bare Bones Game System published by DwD Studios – the rules-lite, role-playing game featured in the previous post – also required a cover art. I was commissioned to produce a comic-style scene of the characters in the fantasy template cards appropriating loot. Here is the step-by-step process of how the cover came to be. I start with a rough sketch of the cover in black and white, overlaid with the margin and bleed marks. The previous sketch is used as a rough pencils layout by reducing the transparency. Inks are applied on top of the pencils. In this case, I do not pencil with a lot of detail. Colours are applied under the inks. Actually by this time I’ve coloured the background, but I’ve blocked it out with a white layer so you could see the foreground colours. What does the background look like? The background looks like this – originally. […]

Villains and Vigilante Card Art
Recently, I have been commissioned by Superhuman Games to produce seven Power Cards for their licenced Villains and Vigilantes card game. I am honoured to be illustrating scenes with characters created by Jeff Dee. Spyder and Condor are grappling on the subway tracks as a train approaches. Dreamweaver issues forth a host of spectres in combat. Motivator telekinetically causes Space Racer to feel pain in his gut. Stigmata pops out of thin air behind Gauntlet. Blastar fires a burst of deadly energy from his body. Lady Armageddon does what she does best. Auntie Gertrude feeds an injured Condor soup as he recuperates.

Another F-Sharp Bell
On Twitter, Calamity Jon Morris wanted to see more designs of alien Green Lantern Corpsmen, so I thought why not create another visually blind Lantern of the F-Sharp Bell Corps. Like Rot Lop Fan, this original alien named Toku-Taka Togg of Space Sector 0073, has no sense of sight nor the concept of light and colours.

Bookmarks for Orphans
Last weekend, Irfan’s aunt Cik Emma was involved with some community activity with her friends at Pulau Pinang. They performed voluntary community service to the residents of Rumah Seri Cahaya, an orphanage at Batu Maung. She asked if I could contribute some art for some bookmarks that she was going to give the children there. I used my ink pens and yellow marker to whip these up quickly: Hope the orphans put them to good use. (Probably mulch by now, though.)

Cover Process for Hags of Teeb
EBB & Folks sent me another task to complete: The cover for another ebook novella titled The Hags of Teeb. Here is the step-by-step process involved from the first sketch until the finished cover artwork. The first sketch (seen below) was based on the original black and white cover illustration made by David Leyman. I used the general shape of the Hags and the cauldron in the sketch and put them in a cave. After the sketch was approved, I decided to create two painted elements which would then be composited digitally. Firstly, I painted the cave background element (below). The centre of the cave where the cauldron sat upon a fire was lighted. The hags themselves were easy enough. I painted over the pencils I drew, using the outlines of the characters I drew above in the sketch. They were mostly dark and in shadow. Their outlines closest to […]
