Scifi/Fantasy illustrator, comic artist, maps

#1 Post by michael.galefire »

Hey all, I had a friend point me towards this board as a good place to look for some work.

My name is Michael Rookard, and I am a professional digital painter, and I focus on sci-fi/fantasy illustration and character/creature/gear designs. I have worked with Fantasy Flight Games, Paizo (of Pathfinder fame), Warmachine, and many others.

Here is a sample of some of my latest work:

character design

Gear

More examples here: https://www.behance.net/michaelrookard

If you are interested in working together on a project, please contact me at: michael.galefire@gmail.com or shoot me a PM with a brief description of what you are looking for and I will get you a quote asap.

Thanks for checking out the art!

Guys an absolutely brilliant artist. We only did three NPCs for our game, but they are outstanding and will only enhance that portion of the game. He's also fast and efficient.

I can't stress enough how wonderful the art is.

Your art is amazing. I love the oldschool SF painting look.
