Here’s my favourite illustration from Aegeon #10, a two page spread for the short story ‘The Secret of Castle Belfrage’ by Brendan Heard. I’m sure keen observers have spotted the Piranesi ‘homage’ in this one. I’ve recorded a time-lapse of me drawing it and added some voice-over, if you’re interested:
Here’s another one of my illustrations from Aegeon #10. This one’s for the short story ‘Glow in the Night’ by Bryan Leyland. It was fun drawing all the weird monsters revealed by the airship’s searchlights.
It’s been a long time since the last Aegeon, but now that the special, extra-thick issue 10 is out, I’ll be posting a few of my images from it. This one’s for a very poetic short story ‘The Return of the Prodigal’ by C.P.Webster.
I’m also working on the second part in the Dullahan quadrilogy, but that’s not going to be out for a while yet.
Empire of the Tropics is one of my favourite ongoing series from Aegeon, second only to The Dream God. Despite giving it my best effort, I feel like my illustration doesn’t do justice to the fantastical weirdness of the stories.
It’s non-stop action in ‘Beyond the Pale’, the lead story in Aegeon #9 by Brendan Heard. In this image, I tried to convey the sense of high-speed motion using ProCreate’s perspective drawing aid.
It seems that Max Ryan has gotten himself into quite a pickle! Will he escape his jailors, or rot in the conqueror’s dungeon? The only way to find out is to read Aegeon #9, either as paperback, or now also as a Kindle version.
As the era of manned military aviation is slowly drawing to a close, it was nice to reminisce about its beginnings, thanks to a story by C.P.Webster I had the privilege of illustrating. And since Aegeon stories usually involve an aspect of the fantastical, you know it’s not just about WW1 and biplanes.
Long time no see, my esteemed visitors (both of you).
Aegeon #9 spent a lot more time in the oven than it was supposed to! Now it’s finally here, as you can see above (miniature bust of Homer provided for size reference). Not only that, it’s number-fucking-one in new short story releases on Amazon!
In the following days, I shall post some of the images I contributed to this issue, even though I’m busy working on a super-secret project.
One of the many downsides of summoning an evil elder god is that he’s going to eat all of your best dating prospects. This rather suggestive illustration is for the short story ‘Astarsoth Prince of Dusk’ by Hermanubis O’Rourke, published in Aegeon issue 8.
