The Living

As anticipated in this post, lately I worked on a range of illustrations for a zombie RPG that does not mean that RPG is a living dead RPG, but that it's a RPG about living deads and survivors of a zombie apocalypse.
For those who doesn't know, RPG means Role Playing Game and it's that kind of a game in which a story teller tettls a story where the players have to fullfill the role of the chosen character, the success or insucces of every action is due on the result of a die roll.
Dale Easterling created this game with a D20 system, that means that you only need 2 twenty-sided dice and all your fantasy to create your survivor or living-dead character and play.

If you are interested The Living is on sale here where you cane see also a preview with a couple of illustrations of mine.

Here two illustrations to give you the idea of what I'm speaking about:

The Living

I'm finally allowed to share what I'm currently working on: The Living is a RPG game based on a D20 system that is setted in a zombie postapocalypse environment. 

Here a taste of the illustrations in the book that will be available soon.

Postapocalyptic survivor

Here there is my entry for this month character design challenge themed "Postapocalyptic survivor". I am currently very very busy (as you could maybe spot) but, men, I am a doughter of 80s, how could I miss this theme?

So here there is my quick sketch for the challenge:

Steampunk arm

Just a sketch of a steampunk arm drawed with pencil:

Don't mess with'em

Last summer I spent some days with a friend at Wacken Open Air (that is a very huge metal music festival in Germany) and, between a gig and another, I spent most of my time wandering around the stand of the Wasteland Warriors.

It's pretty hard to explain what the Wasteland Warriors is, let's just say that in the festival there was a sort of post-apocalyptic corner all "dressed" with post-apocalyptic vehicles, post-apocalyptic people and tents and wreckage and stuff... (you can take a look to their deviantart page here).

Well, let's face it: I was born in the 80's. How could I be emotionless in front of a post-apocalyptic set?

I have been in my personal paradise!

I took lots of photos (and my friend almost killed me, but that's a different story: she is from the late 80's, she can't understand).

So, since she is a very good friend but a collegue too, I had to excuse my extreme enthusiasm promising her I would use all the photos as an inspiration for some artworks.

Some months passed by, but now here there is the first of my post-apocalyptic artworks.

A few words about the illustration itself: the weapon of the guy on the left was very different in the first sketch I made, now it makes more sense than in the first version thank to my weapon-consultant Luca who suggested to take a look to a UZI to steal some ideas.

I drawed it in pencil and ink and painted with digital colours.
