3D droid illustration for science fiction role-playing games like Traveller, progress report

  This 3D droid illustration for science fiction role-playing games has started to look less like a lifeless sculpture, in fact it has started to run. As you can see from the previous two posts, which both have previous iterations of this 3D droid design, there has been a lot of progress – but there [...]

Mongoose Publishing has released High Guard as open content, I’m so happy.

Traveller is – for me – all about the spaceships, and Mongoose just released even more spaceship stuff in the developer’s pack here… High Guard open source version Mongoose Publishing I’m so pleased, because I am addicted to spaceships. But there are an awful lot of rules in this supplement, compared with the simplicity and [...]

My Traveller Campaign now has Robots, that’s right Robots!

  I love robots almost as much as spaceships and my Traveller setting is going to be chock full of them, and not just in the usual servant roles. These science fiction/fantasy role-playing game robots occupy the highest levels of Tarazet society. Tarazet is the name of the Traveller sci fi setting I am working [...]

Sketch for my next science fiction role-playing game illustration

This is going to be my next science fictiojn role-playing game illustration project and I’m very pleased with the sketch. The sketch shows the sort of look of the law enforcement agencies of the game universe. Tarazet – that’s what my science fiction role-playing game universe is called – has a lot of corners where [...]

My Instinct is telling me this fantasy role-playing game image is still not done

This is an image I started months ago, and just found lying about on my hard drive. It illustrates a story about dragons who are part of a travelling circus. The instinct of a dragon would probably not be to take part in something like this, and so the fantasy illustration is given an even [...]

I’ve started modeling a new 3D spaceship, here is how it looks after a couple of hours work

This is the spaceship after I loaded it into Photoshop and started adding shape layers to the basic trueSpace render, in order to get a final spaceship illustration. The spaceship now has windows, nacelles (engine covers), hull plates and a reactor plume shooting out of the back. It is now a spaceship that looks alive [...]
