Apocalyptic Adventures

I have been playing roleplaying games ever since the mid 80´s, and still do. Our group is formed by such opposite guys as possible. We have a Game Designer, a Yoga-Master, a Nasa Scientist, an Author and a Fantasy artist. Both the Author and the Game Designer are artists too, so we have a long history of illustrating the scenes we are playing or especially our characters and the stuff they carry around.

Recently we just switch from a classic fantasy setting. We have played in the same homemade world for the last 10 years, so now we wanted to try something new. This new world is a mix between Miyazaki´s Nausicaa and the new Mad Max movie. And of cause we needed to visualize these new guys and the equipment right away.

Here is some of the figures I came up with. They are loosely based on my brother, the gamemaster´s Ideas. The world is polluted with toxic fungus, so we either live underground or use masks to stay alive.

Color roughs are something I put a lot of value in. Colors set the mood. They tell a story as much as the drawing does. To me, the color choice has never been easy or something I have taken lightly, but over the years I have developed different palettes that I like...

I use photo reference all the time. I try to put them away and work from imagination but then I get insecure and I start searching in books or on the internet for things looking like the stuff I am painting. Most time it creates a fake security and I continue painting...

I paint with acrylics. And like to paint on paper, because I enjoy the feeling of the thinned paint soaking into the surface. I have never been a fan of prepping the surface with either gesso or mat medium, because both ways creates a barrier between the paper and my...

    Wonderful concepts, would you recommend any photoshop(or other digital program) tutorials to learn basic? I love this type of rendering but when it comes to digital art I cannot create anything.

    Such a refreshing setting even without saying I felt the nauscicaa feel as it's my favorite of his films

    As someone who’s been immersed in roleplaying games since the mid-80s, our group is incredibly diverse: a Game Designer, Yoga Master, NASA Scientist, Author, and Fantasy Artist. We recently shifted from a decade-long fantasy campaign to a hybrid of Miyazaki’s Nausicaa and Mad Max, complete with vivid character illustrations inspired by our imaginative gamemaster’s concepts in a world tainted by toxic fungus.
