Flying car. Spider drones…. with beam weaponry. Alien locale. All in the day’s work for these mercs out of the Esper Genesis Roleplaying game. 1/2 page color interior that is hot off the “drawing board” by yours truly.

A bit of an homage to one my heroes, Mark Schultz, inspired from his cover to Cadillac and Dinosaurs.

A fun private commission that I got to do.

A fun private commission that I got to do. A Star Wars sniper character, but maybe the Star Wars visual call outs might not be too obvious and be useful for other sci fi settings. I don’t have a ton to say about it, although it was a totally digital creation. Usually I do a pencil sketch, but this time I wanted to work a bit more with my cintiq. The initial scribbles where done on separate layers, along with some reference that patron gave me. I did this at work during lunch over a few days. The camo texture was provided by the patron.

This was a full page illustration that got away. In the sense that it is supposed to be an interior illustration. But the thumbnails that were more scaled to a interior didn’t suit the client. He wanted a sense of scale and wanted bad guys and good guys and pretty specific visuals on the good guys. This turned into full blown cover in its detail. Took me forever. I certainly lost money on this one.

But sometimes you have to take a bullet for the team. It is better to have a happy client than to finish something too fast.

My character’s backstory is that he is from the underwater cities of Europa and his ship was one of the first survey ships sent from earth to Europa. Now, there is no artificial gravity (we are taking a lot of queues from the Expanse), so the ship “stacks” over the main thrust to simulate gravity. But this ship also is a submersible to descend into the depths of Europa’s oceans.

So I came up with the “Flying Fin”.
