The Big 5ive-O

With #2  2012, Fenix Magazine celebrated its 50th issue as a gaming publication. As it happens, I have had artwork featured in every single one of those issues, so it was a big thing for me as well.
 I commemorated the event with a cover that's a spoof of the classic Frank Frazzetta cover from Conan the Adventurer but with a guest appearance by another prominent character from Fenix's history, namely 'Birger Barbaren' (Birger the Barbarian). This comic character created by Åke Rosenius has been featured with three new strips in every issue since the start. 
 Also in this issue; "Last Flight of KG200" an original game by Kenneth Hite centered on the cursed crew of the titular Nazi bomber who gets lost en route the their destination and ends up in a randomly generated weird fiction nightmare in the sky. The only question is; "when, and by what hellish means do they all expire"?
 Lastly, a playing card sized illustration for a 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' like game, with a phoenix theme of course:)

The time has come..

..to take some responsability, for god's sake. I've got a boatload of pictures I want to show off but I still want to keep some semblance of chronology, so from now on I'll post like one or a couple of pictures a day with some relevant info until I've caught up to the present time. There's some interesting things coming up so I want to share as much as I can.
Let's start where we left off, shall we?

"the Werewolves of Dacia"
Fenix magazine #1 2012

 
As I said in the previous post waaay back in O-twelve (was anyone ever so young?), Its a fantasy game setting by the eminent Ken Hite that's an original take on Lord of the Rings with werewolves because, hey, everything's better with werewolves:)

*Addendum*

I just realized that I had a preliminary sketch on file. I usually draw by hand to work out design concept ideas and rough composition. The text is in Swedish of course, so if you're from south of the wall you're out of luck:)

Tall tales and short people

The 7th of February a new issue of Fenix hits the shelves, and as previously advertised Ken Hite returns with a fantasy setpiece called "the Werewolves of Dacia". Below is a sneak preview of my illustration for it.

Enjoy.

A little more from last year.

I did touch-up on this piece for a gaming website. They only needed a part of it. Here's all of it:

"Half Ogre Hero - Redux"
2011

End of last year Round Up - New Hites!

While being covers for the last three issues of swedish gaming and entertainment magazine 'Fenix - Speltidningen', these two illustrations and the one in the previous entry were primarily commissioned to accompany three feature articles by renowned sci-fi/horror writer Kenneth Hite. He has graciously agreed to contribute one piece per issue for as long as Nyarlathotep will allow it, and so will I.
On occasion you can also find Mr. Hite on the fantastic HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast.

Stockholm GameCon (spelkonvent) is coming up and I am again honored with the task of making all the other swedish convent's posters look like shit:)

The underlying theme of fighter vs monster still remains, this year taking the shape of a fun twist on the old Sword & Planet premise.
