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.
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.
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.
