Artist's Comments

One of many, many illustrations drawn over the past six months for the upcoming tabletop RPG Fantasy Craft. Check out more of the book and keep an eye on the release over at Crafty Games.

This is one of about twenty or so "class" illustrations, the "Soldier". It's also a sneak peek at the "ogre" race, which you might recall from the cover illustration. This character is particularly brutal, as you can see from his sense of shield decorations.

Digitally drawn in Manga Studio EX with an Intuos 9x12. ©2008 Crafty Games, all rights reserved.

I take it the digital inking is holding up well for you? I have been thinking of buying the Cintiq 21UX because of being able to draw directly on the screen. Looks good man.

Did you do the Wall of Fire art too?

Nope, only the Soldier. I did a lot of illustrations for the book, but I think they're keeping most of 'em under wraps until the release (or at least closer to).

Thanks! I can't remember how much of that was in the description, but since I'm not normally so gruesome I think it must have originated with the art director.

I'm very fond of the Cintiqs I work with at Fates, but I still don't own one at home. I think all the work done for this book came from my 9x12 lap-tablet, and I really can't say which is best... there's advantages to both, and I do know a couple of painters who swear by their tablets because they prefer their hands to be "invisible". I find it more effortless to use a Cintiq, which just feels more like drawing the way I've always done it, yet I can't say it's necessarily "better". But if you can make the investment, it's probably worth it.
