Vrul Vs. Frog-Men

It's been a while... I've been delving into other projects lately and have been slow to post and to create! Here we have an exciting scene though. Oh that creepy Vrul man has gotten himself into quite a quagmire. Suddenly surrounded by Frog-Men he has only his light dart gun and a shoulder cannon to save him. Unless he's got a terribly tough hide, or some tricks up those fuzzy sleeves he'll be roasting on a spit tonight!
The Vrul creature is a creation of Mr. Blair of Planet Algol fame, and again this is a wonderful inspiration for an artist such as myself.

Out of the Mushroom Forest and into the Lava Lands

Charismatic Creature of the Slime Lands

I'm illustrating a children's book named The Swamp, and this is the alien creature I've created for it. It seems to fit the requirements set forth for a friendly, slimy alien.
Looking at it though, I could see it being a helpful creature to come across in the Slime Lands of Planet Algol. A nice charismatic slime that leads you either out of the swamp or straight to its nest of hungry friends.
He's just so darn friendly looking!

Temple City of Klovoyga

My first architectural piece in a while. This one is for Planet Algol, and is described there as such:
A titanic walled complex of rotting monolithic mottled grey stone wreathed in yellow vapors, dating back to the time of the Elder Races. It is said to be a nest of blasphemous alien Sorcerers and their hideous inhuman servitors.

The Temple of Set
Snake priests, surprise attacks, and human sacrifice; a perfect setting for an adventuring party out to make a fortune, or die trying.This is a future book cover for one of Blair's projects. This time not for Planet Algol but for his Wilderlands' Temple of Set supplement. Blair set up the scene for me, my friend Robin drew it out, and then I transfered it to the panel and started painting!
This painting is on a large wooden panel (about 4 feet by 2 feet) and is done in Oils. This still has a long way to go, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at what is to come. I also think it's fun to see the process of a work in progress, and I hope you do to!
