The complimentary copy came in the mail today, the first RPG book in which I had a hand in creating: Future Player’s Companion published by The Game Mechanics and Green Ronin Publishing. Thanks to Gary again for recommending me for this gig and everyone at TGM (Stan!, Marc and JD) for giving me a chance illustrating part of the book. The feeling of holding the book in hand and flipping through the pages is great, although going through my artwork in the book I would like to say the first batch of pictures for the first PDF I drew looks embarrassingly bad. The final batch, even with its shortcomings, are the ones I’m satisfied with. If you want to read the book you could come over to my house for a read, or you could buy it from the Green Ronin site, or you could download a freebie chapter (756kb […]

Tomorrow’s Evolution Freebie
The Game Mechanics have a freebie pdf for Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Evolution role playing game supplement named Future Pharma, from the chapter on drugs and pharmaceuticals in a science-fiction setting. Four of my artwork are also featured in the free pdf. Download it at Free Samples section at the FPC page here. Additionally, Marc Schmaltz has added me to the contributors roster at The Game Mechanics. The spelling errors on the bio there are all my fault for typing too fast. I’ve sent an email to Marc with the corrections. Tee hee. (blush)

Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrows’ Evolution
The last of the series of three Future Player’s Companion books is now released: Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Evolution. Written by Gary Astleford, Neil Spicer and Rodney “Moridin” Thompson and co-illustrated by Jacob Elijah Walker, the supplement to Wizards of the Coast’s d20 Modern and d20 Future has all you need for advanced sci-fi characters from cybernetic enhancement to new gadgets to effects of drugs and medicine in a science fiction setting. Here are all some of the artwork I contributed to the PDF supplement. For the previous two books, pencilling and inking were done with a regular pencil and pen, then the pencils are erased while the inks are scanned and greyscale shadow is added in the computer. For this book, only the pencils were done out of the computer. The line inking, lighting and shadow effects were all made digitally with the graphic tablet. Update: To view all […]

Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Hero
Apart from Future Player’s Companion: Tomorrow’s Hero, the second of three books released by The Game Mechanics, being released and on sale at RPGnow.com, I’ve also took my old gallery at Geocities, modified it, gave it a proper banner, updated some details and relocated it here at Hishgraphics.com. The Hishgraphics Gallery can be found at http://www.hishgraphics.com/gallery. In the meantime, here are three four of the artwork from Future Players’ Companion, Volume 2. Click on… to view them.

The Game Mechanics Update
It was official last week, Stan! of The Games Mechanics has thrust upon me another 1.5 pages of illustrations to be done for the d20 Future Player’s Companion. I’m very excited about this, and like the previous batch of work I’ll do my best to give them their money’s worth. To clarify: TGM will be publishing short three e-books in a series in the middle of this year. Later this year, Green Ronin will be publishing a hard copy book consisting of the three e-books. Imagine that. My science fiction artwork on actual printed pages that people will have to buy to see. I can’t wait to add these illustrations to my gallery. Hopefully I’ll get consistent work from other publishers as well. Another thing I have to look out for is an efficient way to transfer funds from the publisher to me, that wouldn’t be difficult to manage for […]
