Working on more droid concept paintings for sci-fi role-playing games

The first line of images on my sci-fi concept art website is a bunch of robots. The ones that are there are nice of course – capturing the essence of a dark, nerdy future, when droids are as likely to help you with an adventure, challenge you to a game of chess, or try to [...]

A phenomenon is an extraordinary event – game illustration
