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.
With Aegeon, the subjects I’m drawing are never boring. This one’s a ‘giant, fat head of a space vampire poking out of a futuristic/gothic coffin’ for the short story ‘Count Mexatrigonex’ by Brett Sinclair.
Another illustration from the Halloween special issue of Aegeon (could you tell?). This one’s for the short story ‘Mechanicals’ by A.J. Bell.
Imagine inheriting a Victorian house from your late uncle, only to find out he’s picked up demonic rituals as a hobby in his final years. So annoying, right? Anyway, here’s one of my illustrations for this year’s Halloween special issue of Aegeon. It’s for the short story A Weekend at Uncle Andrew’s by C.P. Webster.
Update: by popular (?) demand, I’ve added this illustration to my shop.
Even though issue 7 has only been out for a month, the machine elves at Aureus Press have managed to put together a spooky Halloween Special! I’m still LARPing as a writer, so inside you’ll find another short story by me, as well as ten (!) of my illustrations.
Here’s another illustration from Aegeon 7, for the short story ‘The Moment’ by Wolf Vormelker. In it, two future archeologists discover the significance of a single moment in history.
A slightly suggestive illustration for the short story ‘Special Cargo’ by Bruce Pendragon, appearing in Aegeon issue 7. You can probably tell I got the idea for it during my summer holiday at the beach. Lots of long hatching on this one, but it was worth it in the end I think. Check it out in the shop.
