The blog of David Michael Wright - Freelance Illustrator

Hello, and welcome to my humble blog!

If you too like the drag of Graphite on Paper, can appreciate the flick of a well executed Brushstroke, and like I favour subjects of the Dark and the Monstrous, the Weird and the Wonderful, the Abominable, Diabolical, Fantastic, Dramatic, Adventurous, Ghastly, Nightmarish and Phantasmagorical!

…Or like myself, seek to devour all sources of the Technical, Practical, Methodical and Inspirational!

Then perhaps this blog is for you.

It is (I hope) to become a progressive ongoing account of my endeavours as a Freelance Illustrator specialising in mainly the Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror art genres. As is always the case (except perhaps on Sundays) I will do my very best and veritably strain heart and nerve and sinew to write a faithful accounting of all my latest Discoveries, Resources, Technical Explorations and Inspirations, in addition of course to featuring regular posts of my current Creative Exploits and Works in Progress.

Enjoy!

Equinox - Setting Guide

This is a piece of cover artwork I did earlier on this year for the recently released Equinox Setting Guide!

I feel like I ironed out a few persistent niggling mental creases and inched myself forward a little bit technically with this one.  It was a challenge, and a lot of fun to do.

"Equinox is a future fantasy setting of stunning action, frightening intrigue, and mystical powers set in a war-ravaged dark future!"

It is published by Vagrant Workshop (www.vagrantworkshop.com), and can be purchased from Drive Thru RPG
