Hi,
I've recently done some artworks for my adventures and wanted to share them with you. I must admit that ICE artworks from Rolemaster and MERP range have always been my favorite. I don't like much the new artworks we can find now, made with Bryce/Photoshop. I much prefer the black and white style, old school illustrations.
I didn't know where to post them so, sorry if it's the wrong area.
I hope you will like them ;)

I love them all, very well done.
-
Great stuff! I am very fond of this type of artwork, brings back the good old days of RP..
I will definetly use them, with your permission!
-
Fantastic, that's exactly the kind of artwork I love most. The maps look so much better than any CC3 map and the rest is also more than great.
Do you also draw portraits?
-
I love them!
-
Stunningly beautiful!!! ;D
I love them a LOT!!!
They are reminiscent of the old school adventure modules but far superior!!
..and in case you were left with any doubt, the answer is 'yes' - I do want to see more! ;)
-
oooohhhhh! OLD school goodness . . . .
-
Nice work!
-
These are very good. I like the maps, especially. Too many garish satellite-photo wannabes out there claiming to be location maps these days.
-
They are very good and I will be stealing them - if you don't mind.... ;D
-
I absolutely adore these. I would love to see more!
-
Very nice. B&W sketches are my favorite.
-
Very nice. They give me ideas & inspiration for playing...
-
Excellent, I'd love to see more :)
-
Beautiful, the peak in particular was inspiring.
-
Thanks for your comments, it's always a pleasure to hear they can be used by somebody else. Feel free to use them, print them, whatever you want to use them for. No copyright, just happy to help the rpg community.
I will post the rest, even if they can be not as good as these ones. They are older and I must confess I wasn't at the same skill level.
But I still work on new maps/ artworks and hope you will like them.
More to come soon...
-
:o omg drooooool!! AMAZING!! ;D this is the style i love!! compliments!!
i gave you one idea point ;) keep sharing!! its a pleasure for the eye!!
ps: expect a private message very soon from me or other "Order of d100 - members" ;D
-
great work....
-
Thanks,
All right. I've finaly managed to create an account on DeviantArt and have posted many artworks.
It's probably better than just giving a link.
http://fred73fr.deviantart.com/gallery/
Hope you will like them all ;)
Feedback is more than welcome :D
-
I bookmarked it. I'm going to be loving it and sharing it.

Three more, waiting to be added to DeviantArt galery ;)

I love the rendering ypu've used on the cavern walls!
Keep them coming! ;D
-
This is awesome work!
ICE - if you haven't already, you should talk to Dain and have him illustrate for you :)
-
Thanks for the kind words ;)
There are about 10 artworks to go until for the adventure I working on.
Here is the new one.

Don't let that bother you. I don't share these artworks for any contract or anything. Just because I want to share, that's it.
Actually, my rewards ARE your positive opinions. When I read something nice, that gives me energy to do more ;)
As usual, as long as I get good feedback, I guess I won't stop sharing them :D
-
Dain, these do rock seriously!
BTW: I used to live in Melbourne, Fl and briefly dated a girl from Melbourne, Australia while I was stationed in Hawaii (yes, I had it very, very rough ;D).
-

I've been toying with Photoshop for making maps in colour and I ended up with that. What do you think?

Please keep posting these!

Please keep posting these!
I concur - I love the style.
My only comment would be about the sea - I would reduce the texture of the land under the sea a bit.
I think the colours used are excellent too! :)
-
I really love the islands above. I will most definetly use them in a planned campaign, as they are exactly what I've been looking for. Islands are great when building a world of your own.
-
Looks great!
If you have access I have always loved National Geographic maps and they can provide an example of what to do....or not to do....or to try to do.

Sounds interesting. Any specific url? I didn't find anything special form their website so far :/

No most of the stuff I have seen is from their mag and the maps that come with it. I will try and find some.
Some links maybe
1) Ocean map links [to get idea on bottom topography]
2) island map links [to get interaction of land mass and water]
3) Sailing maps
4) military maps as in general they are the most accurate of all

I will join the growing crowd of worshippers to your art. These pictures are stunning and yes a reminder of ages past.
In addition to admire your craftmanship I admire your unselfish will to share your work for free. My hat off to you, sir!

Hi guys,
I know this has nothing to do with Rolemaster/ Harp but I just wanted to share with you my last map.
To be honest, I would like to do something for this community but don't know where to go yet. Shadow world/ Cyradon? Any idea guys?
Just it'll give you some inspiration and give me some good feedback ;)

Some months ago I sent you the draft for a HARP campaign that I wanted to publish on TGC, so that many from the ICE community would have free access to the campaign. At that time you could not spare the time for painting some maps for this adventure. If that has changed now, it would still be cool if you could provide (part of) the artwork for that campaign...
-
Absolutely right! ::)
I'll contact you soon
-
Oooooooh fantastic...bookmarked your gallery... ;)

Long time didn't post anything on this thread.
I guess moving from DownUnder back to Europe didn't help :P

hi guys,
Just wanted to share some more pics ;)

Woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neither words nor the selection of emoticons comes close to describing these!!! These will have to do I'm afraid as I'm quite speechless. :worthy: :laugh1: :wave:

Agreed. They are both very good. I really like the name of the inn, too. Very funny.

Very nice. It fits perfectly to Shadow World and their sky ships, very useful to give a base for the player´s imagination.

Long time no see :(
I know it's quite Old School but just I wanted to share with you guys, you can find attached a new illustration of a kind of special bridge.
Hope you'll enjoy. It took me a while to finish it up ;)

I love that old school art, and it is IMHO well worth the wait.

-
Well, thank you guys, it's very appreciated. I didn't expect a feedback so soon ;)
I've got an old school city on the burners, as well, which should be nice enough.
I'll post it here as well asap. It shouln'dt take too long now ... hopefully :P
It's probably better to post the finish version rather than a wip. No need to flood ;)
-
oh, I disagree - feel free to flood. :D
-
All right then, here it is ;)
Still a lot of work to do but it's not too bad.
Don't hesitate to comment.
I need to finish up the roofs, adjust the mountains/hills, and add some stuff here and there.

(http://www.cerbere.org/dain/nothingness/wip-portnoir-10-small.jpg)
-
Looking great so far!!! :)
-
Does that city have a background, name and setting?
-
First time seeing this thread...great stuff. Mind if I ask what software you use?
-
Thanks guys, that keeps the motivation high ;)
About the software:
The Skyship has been done with technical pens like this, from Faber Castell (http://www.faber-castell.co.uk/40832/Products/Technical-Drawing/Technical-drawing-product-line/fcv2_index.aspx).
When I'm not using them, I use a graphic tablet Intuos 3 with photosho, but still draw by hand.
Sometimes, I go with pure photoshop tools and realize something like the one in color in my gallery, called Trenth. Have a look on my deviantArt page, it's on my signature. ;)
I'm glad you like them :)
-
Does that city have a background, name and setting?
The city is actually one of the semi-pro rpg called Nothingness. There was a map of it, but small and kept simple.
The port city is a commercial one, and where an elite martial order was born. The order now works as an independent force and helps the city against corsairs and pirates. Guilds are powerful and taking the power over a prince who lives there.
I don't know much about it apart that, I'm more focused on the maps ^^
There are about 15 other cities that I'll like to map as well, so I guess you're gonna see me for a while still.
-
Keep them coming! Very nice style. Love the environs of the layouts.
-
These make me want to have maps of all the cities in my setting... take commissions? :D
I have an ambition of putting together a historical atlas of my world someday. The world map is done and even a lot of historical maps but the cities would be awesome to have as well. (Also have to finish a historical document, it's 6/7ths done.)
-
As a matter of fact, yes, I do take commissions.
I fancy myself a bit of semi-pro mapper 8)
I actually usually work on a freelance project, magazine stuff or professional Rpg at some time during the day.
Don't hesitate to PM me and give details about your project(s)!
If I can be of some help, I'd be delighted ;)
-
Hi guys,
I just finished the map/ illustration of the Bridge District and wanted to show you the outcome.
I have to change some little things here and there but I need to move on to something else first.
I did again the cast shadow, done properly now, and added the maps of several buildings.
Hope you'll enjoy how it turned out.

Hmm... can no longer see the original images from the first post. All I get are the urls which I get Forbidden access when trying to view them manually. :(

Yep, annoying.
Good news is you can find them all on my DeviantArt page
No big deal, then ;)

Shameless stole a copy of the Bridge District for my next game. Excellent work! Very Inspirational.

Excellent work there Dain! Love the style of the second one, would've like to see that applied to the first map, black & white can be a bit to stark for the eyes sometimes.

I can comprehend that. On the other hand, the B/W illustration took me 20min to do it, whereas the other one ... more than 30. I guess it makes a big difference at the end of the day ;)

Hi guys,
Playing with the idea of drawing Belynar for Harp, I'm working on a new style.
What do you think of this style? Not Belynar yet, but will work on it straight after ;)
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22128644/Vaeriel-wip2.jpg)
-
I think it's a great style!!!! :)
Is it all an island? I think the broken water ripples need to go all the way around or have a faint outline of any adjoining lands.
-

Thanks,
It's an island/ continent, indeed, as much as Australia can be seen as an island ^^
About the ripples, I'm toying with the idea. It's gonna be all around obviously in the end. I'm still wondering whether it'll be better to use this style or another, like clouds of 1pix dots with various density, woodcut style waves, texture etc.
-
Yeah, that is really good. Throw some color and a little more detail and we got ourselves a winna!

Very nice work. I like how the mountain chains turned out (always had problems with that myself).
-
I love the overall look... but something seems to make the apparent perspective of the flatlands, lakes etc. slightly disagree with the apparent perspective of the mountains. I'm not sure what it is, and I may be fooling myself, but it's as if you're looking at the flats more straight down, and the mountains at more of an oblique.
-
Many thanks for the feedback. It keeps the motivation high!

Yeah, i will certainly consider making one in color. I've got quite some inspiration pictures in store. We'll see how it goes.

There are a lot of details that need to be added. I'm still in the early process, figuring out what to add, what style to choose for forests, hills, plains, shores etc.. Consistency of the isometric view is one of the things I need to polish.
Well spotted anyway, your eyes were absolutely right :P
-
Its a new take on the Fenlon style; which is a big plus! I love those maps where you can spot the little details and perhaps describe mountain ranges the players approach based on the graphics.
But as always, your style pops and is crystal clear, which I like. With color (but not too much) I'm sure your new style will stand out among many.
-
A small update before my move to Italy
Just a small addition to figure out what style to use. Grayscale so far but will be in color eventually.
Enjoy!

Lovely artwork. How much can I steal and use for my world as long as I say you drew them? ;)
rmfr
-
I thought the B/W image was gorgeous but the Grayscale version is superb!!! I can't wait for the colour version! :)
-
I like it. The perspective is starting to come more into line too.
However, you do realize that both of your seas/large lakes will be heavily salt, since neither has any outlet. Personally I would decide that the one to the NW would be so salty you can't possibly sink in it, but I'd put an outlet leading ESE from the other one to the ocean. YMMV.
Also, the current map leaves nearly half the continent (NE) with no rivers at all large enough to show on this scale map. To me, that says about 1/4 of the continent is howling desert wasteland, or I would put a river in it somewhere, possibly from that major central peak cluster to the notched bay on the NE coast.

Hi guys,
Illustrations and maps on their way for an awesome MidnightD20 adventure and here is one that won't be included in the book.
Therefore, time to share it with you. Might be useful for someone ... hopefully ;)

In case it may be useful for someone, here's another illustration done recently. Just something personal, in between several commissions ^^
Hope you'll like it ;)

Well I hope never!
The good part with imagination is that your can play the same game but envision events in a different way. With 3D environment, it will become a video game more than anything else, where there's no more room for imagination.
don't you think?
-
Just now seeing these - the art is Gorgeous, well done.
"How many years do you think it will be before we are playing in a 3D environment or using advanced 3D equipment to let players really see a room/area?"
We are already there. Tools get more advanced every day. I have to agree with Dain though: A 3D environment implies an artist outside of your own head working laboriously to beforehand create what you see, and robbing your brain of the pleasure of visualizing that for yourself.
When the day comes where I can project what I see in my mind, well, OK that'll be a game changing.
-
Yes I have seen the possible shift coming since the Occulas Rift and other devices get closer to public launch. I can see both sides of the argument and I agree with both, I also hope the any 3D environment would be able to be edited by the GM.
The main reason I ask was I thought "boy it would be cool if I could zoom into you artwork above and get a view from inside that castle courtyard. How much sun would there be in the courtyard during summer vs winter? How many people could fit in there?"
I think you can see the advantages of such questions being able to be answered, but again I think that is a ways off as it would take some powerful software and computers to transform you picture above directly into a 3D Environment.
MDC
-
You could already use 3D rendering software to do that. Zoom around in it, move or change the light sources, render from different angles. E.g. Daz Studio is free. But then you need 3D models of the structures, and if you want to actually construct those models it's quite a bit of work. I constantly want to do more of this, but the time requirement is not really justifiable in terms of what it adds to the game. Writing up material is more productive.
At some point of advancement, you're just playing a computer game that happens to have a human AI.

don't you think?
I tend to agree. Part of the fun of tabletop is creating that shared illusion and collaborating to bring something "to life." Once you take that part out, it's almost the GM marching the lab mice through his vision of the play. It also takes the narrative portion out, and since a good GM can use voice as part of the setting you're losing that as well.

Sketchup is also free, and VERY easy to use.
As an example, when discussing plans to build a new house in the place where the last one burned down last winter, I made it as easy as I could on the contractor. I did a 3D rendering of the house we wanted in Sketchup, went into Google Earth and grabbed imagery of the land, placed it in the proper position, added some trees from the 3D Warehouse (basically a HUGE collection of free Sketchup models), added a few "textures" (color patterns on surfaces), and took sceenshots to send to him to illustrate any points we were discussing.
A 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1920 sq. ft. house, on its proper footprint, with nearby trees that had to be chopped down or avoided, along with location of the well, the driveway, various outbuildings, etc..... maybe an hour and a half. Granted, I have been using it for a few years, and like anything else it gets faster and easier with practice, but still...
A castle is a huge and complex collection of structures, so that would take a while. But getting the sight lines right for the bar fight that's about to happen? You can build and furnish the local bar in under an hour, with practice.
Note: I SUCK CANAL WATER as an artist. Yes, it's *that* easy.
To be sure, it's probably not worth the trouble except in cases of:
1. Very simple structures, and/or
2. Places the party will return to over and over.

So I have been watching Scarecrow & Mrs King (while still a lot of fun, it doesn't age very well) and the maps they have in the "Agency" offices are the kind of maps I like; lots of color and raised (the mountains stick up higher than the plains, etc...). I would love some game maps like that. If I am not mistaken, they are old Rand McNally made maps, does anyone know for sure? These would be the maps that would be in classrooms across America (and possibly other countries) in the 80's.

I think Rand McNally stopped making them, but there are others you can purchase. Here are a couple to get you started. Just do a search for "3D relief maps" or "raised relief maps" and you should find enough to your hearts content.

As far as having one made for a fictional world, I know of none. Perhaps a 3D printer?

Yeah, I found those, I was just hoping I could find a place where I could send in a fantasy world map (say.... Kulthea) and they could make a relief map of it. Wishful thinking.

The internet is large and contains many unexpected things.

Just $4000-6000 for 20-30" map. A bargain. :o

You can order an unpainted map, with just the relief. Prices from $25-545 per square foot, minimum five square feet. Top price includes complex layout, painting, roads, walkways, and model buildings and trees.
You could also just print multiple copies of your map on thick paper or cardstock. Cut along contour lines with a craft knife. Glue layers on with spray glue. Not as cool, more work, save $1000's.

I was afraid it would have those kinds of costs.... sigh.... why ain't I independently wealthy? Aaaarrggghhh!

Awesome!
But it would be even more awesome seeing her in action in a web comic of some sort...lol.
I have always been a fan of fantasy martial arts and when I discovered the Changrami in Shadow World I was hooked. I have always enjoyed what little stuff on them I could find.

Super artwork. Appreciate you posting it. Level up!
