Take your time to also read the very positive reviews that
are beginning to circulate -
'The author is obviously well versed in classic sci-fi
- the traces of Dune and Brave New World (among others) that
permeate the story mesh well with the world that has been
created, without ever becoming derivative. The nods to writers
as varied as Mieville and Tolkien serve to further enhance
the dystopian vision on display.'Amazon.co.uk

Adapted
from one of the most influential pieces of mythology, Robert
Zemeckis and his team have produced a glowing spectacle of
pixels. Beowulf a classic tale of a flawed hero,
wonderfully adapted by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery.
Of course the original poem’s story has been stretched
out to add a little more weight - but the main gripe is Ray
Winstone’s miscasting as a cockney Dane. If Jolie is
delivered to us as a beautiful woman, Hopkins’ acting
calibre and likeness as king - then surely our hero should
reflect this too? For its full effect, watch it at an IMAX
in 3D for a full five stars.
November 10, 2007
Richard

detailings of his 'mark'. Check it out in Richard's

Characters Gallery. Make sure
you also check out his take on Romulus while you are there
along with a Newtonian transport over in the Machines
& Weaponry Gallery.
July 18, 2007
Two new versions of the Darathia are up in the Creatures
Gallery. Alan's atmospheric painting has really nailed
a balance between the grotesque and perhaps a sympathetic
nature - a creature that has lost its direction and connection
to the Rojin, wandering the Erth and assimilating any lifeform
they come across.
Jesse
has gone for the more intimidating approach, depicting a lone
Darathia about to fire on an unsuspecting victim.
July 16, 2007
Michael has posted a new painting of a Rojin Missionary. Head
on over to his Gallery to view the
image.
Welcome on board Oleg Djimbinov from Philadelphia. You can

& Environments Gallery. The underground city will
more than likely feature as another art direction feature
very soon. Gargoy marks the 100th image submitted in just
ten weeks.
June 12, 2007
Two new digital paintings from Leoonardo are up in the Scenes
& Environments Gallery. Moku Operates is
loosely based on Thomas Eakins' The
Gross Clinic painted in 1875, and the original inspiration
- Rembrandt's Anatomy
Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. Richard requested that
Glen base a scene from Moku's past on these masterpieces -
helping to depict Moku's struggle to save the life of a fatally
injured Rojin missionary.
June 11, 2007
Alan's new painting of the Siran is up in the Creatures
Gallery. It captures a real sense of underwater atmosphere
and pure viciousness of these creatures - you can see how
much further it has been pushed since adding more deep-sea
and Lovecraft reference.
June 6, 2007
Updated images. Check out the Environments HERE
for sketch paintings of Gargoy from Ado. New character designs

MAY 21, 2007
Richard has added a new character design of Pirian Horncastle
over in the Galleries. The Rojin Tarot designs are hopefully
to be the first of many depictions of a number of characters.
This one in particular shows Pirian's growth from sick Newtonian,
to potential Rojin hero - the main backbone of the first book
The Enemy's Son. CLICK HERE
MAY 20, 2007
Another warm welcome to Alan Lathwell. Alan has also graced
the pages of ImagineFX and has produced a viscious

Some character, creature and environmental designs from Ado.
His depiction of the Rojin capital is outstanding. He wasn't

very quick sketch he nailed it. Check the new work out in
his gallery, otherwise you can browse the Creatures or Scenes
and Environments galleries.

Yet another familiar face from DeviantArt and Imagine
FX has joined us. Check out Jesse Cutler's rendition
of the Rojin and the rest of his work over at his link. Jesse
sent me a similar visual and asked if it could be adapted
in some way. After a few notes on the original he came back
with the example uploaded. Stunning work, the details and
complexity of the suit is very striking. I see the influence
of Frank Herbert's Dune in there, which has often
been a pointer when describing the Rojin further Clearly artists
are listening and more importantly immersing themselves in
the story and Erth Guide. CLICK HERE
MAY 10, 2007
Ado and Leonardo have produced a number of new pieces. Check
out the Environments Gallery for Ado's depictions of the Rojin
capital. Leonardo has posted a number of new concept sketches

MAY 6, 2007 - FILM RECOMMENDATION
Seven
astronauts on board the Icarus II have the assignment
of saving mankind by detonating a gigantic bomb into the dying
Sun after the Icarus I's transmission is lost. Due to the
screening effect of the solar wind, their communication link
with the Earth is cut. The success of their mission, as well
as their own survival relies solely on their own judgment,
which is altered by the 16-month trip to the star.
Danny Boyle's vision of the future is clearly grounded in
the British ideology. This is straight out of Ridley Scott's
text book of nerve shredding tension as the paranoia amongst
the crew of the Icarus II fly towards the sun on a way trip
to the big yellow thing in the sky. A film that wears its
influences on its sleeve, yet stands firmly on its own two
feet.
MAY 5, 2007

An
outstanding showcase of student work from the world-renowned
Art Center College of Design in Pasadena,
California.
Over the course of a semester, Khang Le, Mike Yamada and Felix
Yoon were guided by their instructer Scott Robertson - creating
characters, scenes and environments based on a Brother's Grimm
fairy tale. The result is some of the best conceptual and
reimagined material you will ever set eyes on. Surpassing
the typical story-art book, The Skillful Huntsman
takes the reader on a step-by-step guide in the creation of
a fully realised world.

Updates from Leonardo include the Vazeesh family; Harad, Karl
and and Kira in casual Rojin attire. Also, the last remaining
Gargoyles; Vagabond, Brom and Stone. 
Richard has added a new character design of Pirian Horncastle
over in the Galleries. The Rojin Tarot designs are hopefully
to be the first of many depictions of a number of characters.
This one in particular shows Pirian's growth from sick Newtonian,
to potential Rojin hero - the main backbone of the first book
The Enemy's Son. 
Another warm welcome to Alan Lathwell. Alan has also graced
the pages of ImagineFX and has produced a viscious
rendering of a Sirian. Great to see artists tackling the creatures.
Welcome on board this May's ImagineFX 'Artist of
the Month', Lars Rasmussen. His depiction of a Newtonian Guild
Commander is still currently being tweaked and will be updated
accordingly to try and remove the 'Boba Fetish'. 
Some character, creature and environmental designs from Ado.
His depiction of the Rojin capital is outstanding. He wasn't
million miles off on the first draft, after sending him a
very quick sketch he nailed it. Check the new work out in
his gallery, otherwise you can browse the Creatures or Scenes
and Environments galleries.
New character designs are up in Leonardo's gallery section,
including Jeradon Horncastle III (pictured), Pirian Horncastle,
Dr Moku, Emperor Surel, Rayal Jakahn and Ersula Cordwain.
Yet another familiar face from DeviantArt and Imagine
FX has joined us. Check out Jesse Cutler's rendition
of the Rojin and the rest of his work over at his link. Jesse
sent me a similar visual and asked if it could be adapted
in some way. After a few notes on the original he came back
with the example uploaded. Stunning work, the details and
complexity of the suit is very striking. I see the influence
of Frank Herbert's Dune in there, which has often
been a pointer when describing the Rojin further Clearly artists
are listening and more importantly immersing themselves in
the story and Erth Guide. 
Seven
astronauts on board the Icarus II have the assignment
of saving mankind by detonating a gigantic bomb into the dying
Sun after the Icarus I's transmission is lost. Due to the
screening effect of the solar wind, their communication link
with the Earth is cut. The success of their mission, as well
as their own survival relies solely on their own judgment,
which is altered by the 16-month trip to the star.
An
outstanding showcase of student work from the world-renowned
Art Center College of Design in Pasadena,
California.
