Tha Work Thang #6: Aliens

I've recently done some work on the "Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader" rpg and thought I would share a couple of pieces from the previous book I worked on, "Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy Creatures Anathema." (Snappy title!) So, here we have the feared Genestealer and the weapons of the scum of the universe, the Orks. Waaaaagh!!

Tha Work Thang #5 : Dangerous Delves

Soon to be released by Wizards of the Coast is the "Dangerous Delves" set of monstrous miniatures for use with Dungeons and Dragons. I designed seven of the forty beasties in this set.

• Bloodseeker Drake


• Banshrae Warrior


• Beholder Eye Tyrant


• Bonechill Chimera


• Cyclops Crusher


• Minotaur Battle Shaman


• Young Gold Dragon

The Work thang #4: The Rule Book

My good friend Rob Kitchin has just had his first novel published, it is called "The Rulebook", a crime thriller set in Ireland. Available from all good book outlets.
Rob asked me if I could do a little promotional piece to go up on You Tube. I haven't done anything like this before so had to familiarise myself with image transitions and music synchronisation and suchlike.
The result feels pretty atmospheric.

Tha Work Thang #3. Beauty is in the Eye.....

Wizards of the Coast has just put a preview up for its new set of D&D miniatures, "Dangerous Delves." The preview features a new Beholder, concepted by yours truly. There have been four Beholders produced in the range and I have been lucky enough to design three of them. The Beholder Lich from the Unhallowed set, the Eye of Flame from Dungeons of Dread and the new one. I love designing these miniatures and hopefully will get to design many more.

Da Life Ting #2. Crabs love a bit of Bacon.

Spent a week with the family at my parents over Easter. Lovely weather, lovely time had by all.
Did a bit of fishing off Beaumaris pier, there were a lot of people crab lining and the popular bait of the day was bacon, those crabs love a bit of bacon! We caught not a jot with the more traditional ragworm.

Tha Work Thang #2: Rise of the Nevret.

I created these concepts for the Dreamblade collectable miniatures game made by Wizards of the Coast. These were drawn just for fun, after the games production finished. I had a soft spot for the Nevret and had all sorts of ideas how the race could be expanded upon. The main one being they were in complete denial that they were in the dreamscape and they were the only sane beings amongst all the madness.


In other news, my printer has just given up the ghost. I need a new one urgently, to print off art orders, invoices, reference materials etc. So an investment in a new machine is required, any recommendations people? My budget is strictly limited.

Da Life Ting #1. Of Hot Cross Buns.

Sharing a hot cross bun with another is supposed to ensure friendship throughout the coming year, particularly if "Half for you and half for me, Between us two shall goodwill be" is said at the time. Recently my appetite for these fella's has known no bounds and I have been far to greedy to share.The smell of spices and cinnamon as they pop from the toaster. Golden and dripping with butter.....yum, yum! Funny thing is I couldn't stand them as a kid.
