Cover and Characters Art for Murder a la Carte


Cover Art



Murder à la Carte is a Pathfinder compatible adventure developed by 0one Games and written by Tom Knauss. I found very interesting this mystery approach to the fantasy adventure where you'll have to unmask Marcellus' killer.

For the cover Mario Barbati (owner of 0one Games) wanted the discovering of the dead body by the house workers. We chose a low point of view to have the drowned man in the foreground keeping the action in the down-right corner to fit the Basic Paths' layout.

As characters I had to draw the old rich man, the legendary hero Marcelus and his servant, butlers, cooker and gardener who are called to be our usual suspects like if we were in a classic mystery novel. 

Thanks to Mario Barbati and 0one games for counting on me for this project.
And thank u all for your visit to my Cave

Good luck solving the mystery ;)
Charro.

Characters and Creatures Art for "PLENILUNIO" by Nosolorol Publishing


Plenilunio promo image from Nosolorol website

PLENILUNIO, developed and published by Nosolorol Ediciones, is a roleplaying game based on the universe of Malefic Time, created by Luis Royo and Rómulo Royo. As you can imagine, I am infinitely pleased to share pages with this couple of art masters and to do my tiny contribution to this meta-project which includes not only three illustrated books published by Norma Editorial, but also a novel written by my friend Jesús B. Vilches, a manga comic book by Kenny Ruiz, a music album by Avalanch and much more still to come.

Characters from Plenilunio are survivors who live in an apocalyptic New York. The most simple goods like food or water are difficult to find, it is a rude world where the rests of our civilization are still present so, our survivors use whatever they can find useful to keep they alive one more day. Behind all this apocalypse, there is a war between two ancient and powerful forces and our characters are called to play a role in that war...

CHARACTERS PROCESSES












At last, I did three creatures included in the book, in which I tried to suggest their shapes from a dark textured background, more than doing a detailed pic. Since I was also involved in the layout design, I decided to paint them directly on their double pages.

Well, that's all for now, but I hope I'll come back with more Plenilunio art for the upcoming books. Thanks to Luis Royo, Rómulo Royo and Jesús B. Vilches for taking me on board of this awesome project and thanks to Nosolorol for making it possible.















And, of course, thank you all for visiting my Cave :)
