Flashback Friday - Temi nostalgia!

I play games! Boardgames, tabletop RPGs et cetera, et cetera and so on. It's fun.
A few weeks ago me and a couple OBOPOFOM started talking about games from the past. Games that we played as teenagers. Games that we still play, just a little different. What a flashback!
I don't want to bore you with my nostalgic rambling about games and whatnot. Instead I'm going to bore you with beards. Yes you heard me right. BEARDS! Beards are incredible "hip" here in sweden right now. If you want to be awesome and I really mean AWESOME, start growing that facial hair.
But the end of the hipster is near some say, so I'm not going to give you advice on that matter.
If you're not a dwarf that is. Dwarves in fantasy fiction has always been awesome. Why? Because they always have freakin beards, that's why!

Throwback Thursday

So it's time for me to try this Throwback stuff out.
Some years ago I made a couple of illustrations for a bedtime story about a little troll. In the midst of the illustration process the company pulled the brakes, paid for the work I had done and basically went belly up. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. Days became months. Months became years. And for five long years, the illustrations passed out of all knowledge...

Enough said... It's about time for this little troll to see the light of day!

 

SwedCard Art

I suddenly realized that I haven't posted any art of the christmas cards that I produce through SwedCard LLC. I have put up some links and photos but that's all. Well shame on me! So for all of you out there who miss that christmas feeling, this one's for you...

Karl Kämpe - Den Franska Kanaljen, novel two

So, I'm back with some illustrations for Jörgen Karlssons book about the carolean Karl Kämpe (Caroleans (Swedish: karoliner) were the soldies of the Swedish kings Charles XI and Charles XII)
The book is planned to be divided in eight shorter novels and this is part two.
You can download the two released novels about Karl's adventures at: THIS SITE

For the first novel I painted the cover, this time around I got to do the cover and two illustrations in greyscale. Enjoy!

World book

Today I got my sample of the new world book for the swedish RPG Svavelvinter. One nice suprise was that Fria Ligan (Free league publishing) put a neat brown tint on my grayscale illustrations. Old as well as new. I'm posting some of the new illustrations below, but you can also check out the "Winter is upon us" post for other new illustrations done for this book.

Merry Christmas!

Winter is upon us

The first real snow has fallen and what could be more suitable than a few illustrations that I made for Fria Ligans ( Free League publishing's) upcoming worldbook for the RPG Svavelvinter? (Sulphurwinter)
A lot I guess.

This way around I got to do some character-portraits and a few creatures that roams the lands in Erik Granströms fantasy novels and in the role-playing game.
The Grotebelia pic can be found on Erik's own blog where he writes short about it. The character Grotebelia from his books is actually based on one of his own daughters as a child. Both in appearance and manners. Now that's a fun fact for all the Granström fans out there.
