Horizons - a miniatures skirmish game designed by me This is what has been taking up all my painting time these last 6 months, funny coz I started it to give me something to paint for.  Horizons is a miniatures skirmish game that lets players control factions fighting over artefacts in deep space. Its been a gruelling task to get it to a playable rulebook I have to say, and I have done very little art so far.  But when you consider that I am designing, writing, illustrating and doing all the graphic design you can forgive my slackness I'm sure. Anyway its all going well, I have a team that is helping me playtest it and we are currently dev

It is very nice to say that almost all of my art this year has been commissions.  That isn't just because I have had an increase in the amount of work I have been receiving.  It is also because I have been taking longer on pieces and have less time to spend on them. I am spending alot of my time working on a number of games designs.  Currently I am creating the universe to set my newest idea in. I have just finished a second Album cover commission, this one for a local band ColdFate.  It is my biggest painting and I pushed it alot further then I expected.  Alot of that is thanks to the guys over at Conceptart.org, if you have not been I rea

My army buddies n I love the skaven assassin, we were wondering if we could use it on our team shirts. We were known as the echo rats when we were deployed
I notice you’re from Australia I hope you weren’t anywhere near those wildfires!

I’ve always been intrigued with Australia and I love kangaroos! I’d love to visit Sydney someday!

I've found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don't know much their own country, much less anyone
else's. :(

I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raise awareness about what's going on in the rest of the world.

Recently I’ve started a personal initiative; if I notice someone on DA is from another country, If I've done their country I let them know.
It’s my way of letting them know that others are thinking about their home. :)

This update is about your home!

Hey mate, I saw the album cover you created for Cold Fate and thought it was awesome, so I got your Deviant Art page off the guys to check out more of your work. Its fantastic, VERY well done!

I'm a Tassie-based designer who has worked on a couple of different posters for the guys, among other musicians, so its always good to see what other talented people are out there :)
Hi Synner. Thanks alot for the comment and making the effort to visit my gallery :) Nice to hear from another Aus based artist. The album cover was alot of fun to do, ill put it up here soon.

I liked ur gallery, keep up the good work. Thanks for the watch :)
Thanks for checking out my gallery too mate, really appreciated :)

Its always good to make contact with other Aussie artists, and see who else is doing what, out there :)

Keep it up mate, I'll keep an eye on you.
Guy.
