A Day At The Races...?, Chariot related Illustrations...

[BONE IDOL]

Aaahh...my kind of section...feels like home already...

I've already posted one of my illustrations in progress in the "Last Stand of Ammon~Chthul" in the Fluff Section...

Thought I'd show y'all some of the stuff I've done for Boney's Grotto...my own little section on Khemri.co.uk...(I did the banner and skin there too, if you're ever popping by... )

Anyway the wonderful host their Tiefion gave me my own mini~Forum which I called Boneys Grotto where I get to indulge my creative Tomb King related impulses...to anyone from the SOS faction of COTEC, this little project at "The Grotto" was the reason I could not take part in the campaign the way I would have liked...I apologise, but the Grotto just took up to much time...

I've designed armylist sheets for Tomb King players to download, army counters for battle reports and little stuff like that...then I got carried away...(the disease is closely related to Figmentia, I believe...Illustramentia I think... )

There is now an ongoing project called the Unofficial History of Khemri...a project aiming to bring all our TK's fluff ideas together, for which I've done a full colour map of Khemri...which inspired me to start work on Sands of Blood, a Risk~like campaign game (WIP~ it uses my Khemri map and some additional counters which I would be happy to show you... )

Jewel in the crown for me though (some illustrations to follow) is the On~line chariot racing game I've designed from scratch, called A Day at the Races...it started as a small project~ basically I thought GW's chariot game was awful, requiring v.little thought or skill. I wanted something simple but elegant...then things got out of hand...

The rulebook is some 50 pages long...there is a 10-20 page chariot designer Player Book (with loads of different chassis, wheels, scythes, etc to choose from) and a {WIP} Campaign Section...plus their are currently 10 different Houses (teams) to choose from (with more coming...all Khemri so far , but I intend to include Goblin chariots, H.Elf Princes, Wood Elf "Glade Runners" (sci-fi pun intended...why did GW not pick this over Glade Riders? ), Dwarf Steam Chariots(?) and Skaven Racing Doomwheels...all to be played online by site members...

Anyway, thats the background behind the following illustrations...hope you like!

The cool thing about these images is they are totally flexible...they are b/w pencil and charcoal drawings that are tinted on computer (the strong outline lets me "grab" areas) all layers are seperate (bone, bronze, colour1, colour2 and "bits") which means people can have their team in their own army/racing colours...

Also, heres some stuff I did for a 40K comic (got turned down by GW... )

Dude,

If you're not in a "graphic" job, you're definately missing your calling. Awesome stuff and GW's loss.

Just as SexyBeast said, you really have a talent for this stuff. I hope to keep seeing more of it.
