My ‘Coffin Crushers’ comic is finally shaping up! After a very long design period I could finally make some progress on the actual pages. Here you see two shots from what I have so far!
This first shot is from inside a Coffin Crusher (a huge robot designed to withstand vampire attacks).
And this shot shows a Crusher protecting his fallen comrade from a huge vampire!
Hey! These are some recent maps I made -and I felt like sharing them ;0
The top map is a game-board for the card-game ‘Gang Up!’. Just to explain a little more about that; the city-blocks that have white boarders, is where you place your card stacks. The map itself shows ‘Crimetown’, the fictional city where the game takes place. And the buildings on the map refer to the characters & situations that are part of the game. I made the entire map out of shapes in PS.
The middle map is the floor-plan for a huge manga convention in the Netherlands, the ‘Abunai’. The convention takes place in a huge hotel and it’s a maze! So I updated a very basic map, to this one; using clear colors & icons to help the visitors navigate the hallways :) It’s also visually connected to a timetable that is printed on the backside.*
The map at the bottom is for the website of cosplay model ‘Azzy’, and the locations & feel of the map represent her interests.

During the last few years I’ve been practicing anatomy by attending live drawing classes. And although I made hundreds of sketches, I never really came around to actually make a more refined illustration of a just a model. I think i’ts because I have the strong urge to mix everything up with all kinds of fantasy costumes/designs etc. Anyway, I tried to avoid that this time, so here are some simple nude-illustrations. Enjoy!
I’ve worked on over 40 different projects in the last few years and lately I felt the need to collect all that work in a presentable way. So I made this very old-school paper artbook! Here’s an impression of the book and it’s contents:
The book contains 216 pages, and all projects have a short introduction and some comments. It contains comic work, animation work, concept art, game art, live-model drawings and roleplay art.
-PS. Sorry, it’s just one copy, so it’s not for sale!
For my last(mini) D&D campaign I made several detailed maps. I mainly made these in ‘3D’ to prevent all kinds of delays during play, often comming from questions like: What height was the ceiling again,… can I jump over that monster or not?’ Etc.
There are also 3 more maps that belong to this story, which I hope to combine with the story itself in a PDF. If I ever find the time, I will try to finish that. But for now I felt like sharing these. enjoy!
This is an illustration I work on in the weekends, it’s related to my previous D&D campaign and it is the start of the final battle. One of the partymembers entered the (walking) fortress of King Conhart and is now surrounded by Giants of various sizes. Moments later this will change in an all out battle…
It’s been a while again! I’m currently juggling several projects and my time is more and more filled by all sorts of fun freelance work. But as always, I can’t show much of that until the games it’s for, are released. So I’ll share some of my sketches; These confident characters will be part of a series of map-illustration, that are all part of a short D&D adventure I’m currently hosting. I plan to wrap the whole thing up in a nice pdf file that you can download, so you can play the adventure too :) Enjoy!
