AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #13: Alice O'Malley AKA The Azure Arc by Clark Huggins

This week the Artist Enclave is happy to announce Clark Huggins as a new recruit to this year's madness! Welcome to the roster, Clark!

This Chesley nominated illustrator has a rich history of strong illustrations that have made him a go-to in the industry. With a body of work that stretches often into storyboarding, Clark comes to us with a skillset that allows him to tell very nuanced stories and as such is perfectly poised to illustrate the sort of memorable characters that AetherCon loves to bring to its convention audience. This year Clark has opted to illustrate Alice O'Malley AKA The Azure Arc for us! We sure can't wait to share the finished piece, but until then, here's a sneak peek at an early stage! Stay tuned, because the clock is ticking down to some finished illustrations from this year's amazing Enclave!

10 Days to GM REG!

Rev up your GM screens! Fire up your Imaginationators! GM Registration for AetherCon is just around the corner!

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #12: Jamburdeena 'Burdy' Mollermoggles by Bruno Balixa

The Artist Enclave is happy to say that we're welcoming back Bruno Balixa to our roster of artists for another year of illustrative goodness!

Bruno has a way of telling stories with his work that tends to make other artists swoon, and we can certainly see why he has become an in demand artist. Using beautifully crafted compositions for his images, he regularly gives viewers an illustration that can speak with great volume. Jamburdeena 'Burdy' Mollermoggles will be Bruno's 4th illustration with us and it looks to be just as interesting as we've come to expect. We hope you go hang out at his portfolio for a bit, and as always we hope you look forward to the second half of our summer as we begin showing the final versions of these early artist drafts. You won't want to miss it.

Summer Roundtable Series Week#11: Modiphius Entertainment

We finish off our Summer Roundtable Series this year with SRS Week#11! Join us here today at at 1:30 PM New York/10:30 AM LA/6:30 PM UK/3:30 AM Wed Sydney when Sam Webb, Nathan Dowdell, and Virginia Page of Modiphius Entertainment talk about their most inspirational geographic location, their favourite Monty Python bit, and their RPG pet of choice with Richard Coates of Shiny Games.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #11: Jome Mardo Manks by Quico Vicens-Picatto

As our summer goes on, we get just a few more weeks to discuss upcoming artwork! Here at AetherCon we've got even more new artists to announce, and that's pretty exciting. This week we really want to introduce you to Quico Vicens-Picatto.

With this being Quico's first year with us, it will be fun to see what he can explore with his wallpaper – but judging by his existing body of work it won't disappoint. His work displays a lovely classic feel, full of influences from some of our industry greats, but with a great favoring of darker fantasy and horror and things that go bump in the night. We hope you join us later on in the summer when we can unveil “Jome Mardo Manks”, Quico's contribution to this summer's Enclave Wallpapers! Exciting! In the meantime go check out his work and show it some love! And of course come back next week for more artist announcements!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#10: Kotodama Heavy Industries

It's SRS Week#10!

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #10: Stenvro ‘Clack’ Nemas by Chris Malidore

This week the Artist Enclave would like to welcome back long term AetherCon contributor, Chris Malidore!

Chris has been attending AetherCon as an Artist Enclave member since very early days – to the point where he came onboard eventually as the Artist Enclave Coodinator to help steer the ship of artistic goodies that you all get to experience here each summer! Chris has been illustrating since around 2002 professionally (to varying degrees) and continues to push his work into new exciting areas whenever possible. This year he saw on the list the sort of illustration that he knew would challenge him to new levels and decided to jump in head first... and is sharing here one of the variations that he eventually began painting on. What does the final of Stenvro ‘Clack’ Nemas look like? Find out later this summer when we release all sorts of amazing wallpaper artwork produced by the ever skillful Artist Enclave.

Summer Roundtable Series Week#9: Iron GM Games

It's SRS Week#9! Join us here today at at 9:00 PM New York/6:00 PM LA/2:00 AM UK/11:00 AM Wed Sydney when Rone Barton and Lou Agresta of Iron GM Games talk about what their favourite childhood storybook was, the gametable snack they absolutely have to have, and what kind of 'punk' is their favourite genre with Stafford Matthews-Klingebiel of Tome of Tales.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #9: Dr. Harrison Chatsworth PhD AKA Lavator by Jacob Blackmon

The Artist Enclave returns for another week of RE-introductions! That's right, we have another artist who has been kind enough to join us again! Please join me in welcoming back Jacob Blackmon! 

Jacob hit our radar a few years back and caught our eye for a big reason – his visual style isn't really like many others in this field. While still illustrating, he has opted for a very sharp and clean look compared to an industry full of painters and it really does stand out. For this reason, he's been busy for quite some time now! So we're very happy that he found some room in his schedule for us. This year, Jacob has taken on the chance to create “Dr. Harrison Chatsworth PhD AKA Lavator” and it certainly is going to be interesting! Check back later this summer for a WHOLE LOT MORE of not only this, but a pile of other art from our Artist Enclave!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#8:Knight Errant Media

It's SRS Week#8! Join us here today at at 4:00 PM New York/1:00 PM LA/9:00 PM UK/6:00 AM Wed Sydney when Christian Nommay, Daniel Eymard, and Ghislain Bonnotte of Knight Errant Media talk about who their favourite sci-fi/fantasy author is, Star Trek or Star Wars and why, and what the others surnames would be if they were Hobbits with 'Podcast' Pete Bryant of Aetherforge Creations.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #8: Sysssskrot Grussssko by Jim Ling

This week we would like to welcome Jim Ling back to the Artist Enclave! Jim joined us last year and we loved what he did so much we couldn't help but invite him back for an encore! 

Jim has a body of work that has earned him a strong following – with skillsets that expand on not just illustration, but conceptual design, education, and branding as well, he brings a knowledge to the table that makes him a go to artist for many projects. We suspect his work will take him incredibly far in this industry, and will be worth keeping an eye on. This year he was generous enough to pick Sysssskrot Grussssko from the mighty illustration list.... and as the work in progress suggests... that's a character who may not play well with others. We'll be sure to show you all later on this summer when these wallpapers are all finished up and ready for your viewing pleasure – in the meantime be sure to check out Jim's website, it's full of goodies.

Summer Roundtable Series Week#7:Necrotic Gnome

It's SRS Week#7! Join us here today at at 2:00 PM New York/11:00 AM LA/7 PM UK/4:00 AM Wed Sydney when Gavin Norman, Yves Geens, and Mish Scott of Necrotic Gnome talk about whether they prefer planes, trains, automobiles or boats, which dwarf from The Hobbit was their favourite and why, and the time they had the RPG plan that was completely right, but went completely wrong  with Richard Coates of Shiny Games.

Happy Father's Day

All of us at AetherCon would like to wish all of the Dads out there a Happy Father's Day!

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #7: 'Iron' Bruuk Zorpek by Eric Messinger

The Artist Enclave is back for another week of artist introductions! The last few weeks we talked about some of our newer artists... but how about we introduce a fellow who is back for his 4th illustration with us?! Well, it brings us pleasure to welcome back Eric Messinger: http://ericmessinger.com/

Eric is a varied artist who produces well whether that work is digital or traditional - Regardless of medium you can count on intelligently used colors and dynamic shaping. Along with a well displayed level of drive and dedication, it's not hard to say he has enviable skillset in the illustration circuit that we suspect will continue to take him far in the field. This year, he agreed to take on the illustration of 'Iron' Bruuk Zorpek... as you can likely guess from his work in progress there, it is no doubt going to be pretty killer! As always, we urge you to go check out the artist's portfolio! Eric definitely has some really neat things on display.

Summer Roundtable Series Week#6:Shades of Vengeance

It's SRS Week#6! Join us here today at at 2:00 PM New York/11:00 AM LA/7 PM UK/4:00 AM Wed Sydney when Ed Jowett, Johnathan Lewis, Fred Harvey, and Leo Cosh of Shades of Vengeance talk about whether they prefer J. R. R. Tolkien or Douglas Adams and why, what book most influenced them to go into RPGing, and their luckiest RPG character with Richard Coates of Shiny Games.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #6: Turreq Darrune by Raphael Lucchini

This week the Artist Enclave wishes to introduce all of you to Raphael Lucchini, a recent addition to our roster! 

Raphael is joining us for the first time, but as we look through his work we see a skillset that we are thrilled to have onboard. With a beautiful level of depth to his illustrations we see nothing but promise from this artist and look forward to seeing what life he will bring to his rendition of “Turreq Darrune”. At this stage of work in progress, we get to see him exploring different camera type views for that extra punch in delivering a dynamic and interesting scene for the viewer. Through exploring early perspective drafts like this, the potential of an image goes up dramatically, and saves a lot of problem solving time later on. We suspect this will be a very interesting image when all is done. We hope you come back later on this summer to see how it finishes up – and of course, urge you to spend some time on his Art Station page to get to know him better!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#5: High Level Games

It's SRS Week#5! Join us here today at at 7:00 PM New York/4:00 PM LA/Midnight UK/9:00 AM Wed Sydney when Josh Heath and Quinn Moerike of High Level Games talk about their favourite prank, what TV show they absolutely have to watch, and the RPG villain that frustrated them the most with Mike Kafes of MythWits.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #5: Warhaul Andi by Carl Frank

Time for another artist introduction on behalf of this year's Artist Enclave! Today we bring you the work of Carl Frank.

While this will be Carl's first year with the Enclave he is no stranger to the illustration world, having created for some of this industry's biggest names. He brings to the table a well maintained skill in story telling by use of compelling compositional elements and strong bold colors to bring out JUST the right mood. We are thrilled to have his expertise with us this year. Carl was kind enough to give us his very initial sketch as well as his painted WIP for his illustration of Warhaul Andi, so that we can show some more process of just how his piece is coming along. While that early thumbnailing stage can feel raw and hard to reign in for many artists it's one of the most important things one can do for their illustrating. That sketch phase is one important phase. Anyway, we greatly urge fans of fantasy and science fiction to go check out Carl's portfolio – it's quite a treat.

Summer Roundtable Series Week#4: Alligator Alley Entertainment

It's SRS Week#4! Join us here today at at 8:00 PM New York/5:00 PM LA/1:00 AM UK/10:00 AM Wed Melbourne when Brian Dalrymple, Rich Lescouflair, Eric Wiener, and Christopher Robin Negelein of Alligator Alley Entertainment talk about the high school class the wanted to skip the most, their favourite family recipe, and why their most memorable RPG character was memorable with 'Podcast' Pete Bryant of Aether Forge Creations.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #4: Moradaeden Vreltz by Nicula Mircea

For today's artist introduction, in our fourth week of talking about the Artist Enclave a bit, we bring you Nicula Mircea.

Nicula joined us for the first time last summer, and knocked out what quickly became a favorite piece of ours, by using a compelling composition and a variety of skillful story telling techniques. We would have kicked ourselves if we didn't invite him back for a second round. This year Nicula has opted to try his hand at illustrating Moradaeden Vreltz. This work in progress shows a lovely stage of shape arranging that will help push the eye around just right in the final paint work... we'll get to share that a little later into the summer of course, but for now we hope you'll check out his other thrilling work in his ArtStation portfolio!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#3: Dark Skull Studios

It's SRS Week#3! Join us here tonight at 9:30 PM New York/6:30 PM LA/2:30 AM UK/11:30 AM Wed Melbourne when Richard Leon, Joe Slucher, and Darrel Hardy of Dark Skull Studios talk about their most prized childhood toys, what their favourite pizza is, and the secret superhero names of the other two with Mike Kafes of Mythwits.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #3: Father Francis O'Flanagan by Dion Harris

For our third week of artist introductions, this week the Artist Enclave presents to you, Dion Harris.

It's always a pleasure to bring Dion on board for these wallpapers, he's always up for trying something new and interesting – and has delivered artwork that lives up to that each time. Approaching his fifth finished wallpaper for us, we suspect this release will be no different. Already we can see his composition and colors being planned out in compelling ways with his Father Francis O'Flanagan piece. We can't wait to show off the final stage of this when it pops up later this summer!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#2: Awful Good Games

SRS Week#1 is here! Join us here at 2:30 PM Eastern (2 hours from now) when David and Melissa Guyll of Awful Good Games talk about their life on the farm, their favourite movie snack, and what character classes each of their kids are with Stafford Matthews-Klingbeil of Tome of Tales.

Happy Mother's Day!

All of us at AetherCon wish all the Mom's out there best wishes and no housework on Mother's Day!

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #2: Kael 'Patch' Stoneslicer by Florian Stitz

For week two of our artist introduction series here with the Artist Enclave, we bring you the thrilling work of Florian Stitz:

In an increasingly digital field, it's always a pleasure to have an acrylic artist joining us. Florian's ability to handle dynamic artwork with a brush where editing may be a bit more limited, shows a strength of skill that we certainly admire. This will be his second year joining us, and we couldn't be more happy to have him here. Anyway, here we have an early version of where he's taking this year's wallpaper of Kael 'Patch' Stoneslicer. Be sure to come back this summer to see the final, and of course, be sure to check out his existing body of work!

Summer Roundtable Series Week#1: Ulisses North America

It's SRS Week#1! Join us here at 9 PM Eastern when Bill Bridges, Greg Gordon, and Darrell Hayhurst of Ulisses North America talk about their favourite childhood pets, the sandwich they hoped would be in their lunchbox and what they think of Battlefield Control Mages with Stafford Matthews-Klingbeil of Tome of Tales.

With that Dragon now placed, we roll up our map, place it carefully in a scroll case, and journey on to see what monsters may await us next year. You'll be able to see the full key map released this August when the new site goes live, we sure hope you'll join us there.

AC VIII Wallpaper Work in Progress #1: Quervalien Zetharanyl by Jim Gallo

As our year trudges on toward our summer it's now time to begin announcing this year's Artist Enclave artists! Always a highlight of our year! This year we would like to introduce Jim Gallo. Check out his portfolio here.

Jim is a newer artist for AetherCon, but he's no stranger to illustration – one of the things that caught our eye with Jim is his great composition skills that really tell stories. This is an important part of being able to pull off these wallpapers! With that said, we have with us a sneak peek of what he's working on over here, his first piece "As our year trudges on toward our summer it's now time to begin announcing this year's Artist Enclave artists!

For our final week of voting we felt it would be good to go out on a big note, so it's time to bring out Zhànshì Dà, the Sea Dragon! This dragon is eyeing Hong Kong, China; Taipei, Taiwan; and Wuhan, China – so now the vote is yours to have. Let's make this monster proud.

You get to choose between Hạ Long, Vietnam; Sedanau, Indonesia; and Tabukiniberu, Kiribati. All three of which seem like fantastic homes for a whole bunch of Seatigers.

This week we've got a big one though. It's time to vote on the lair of Razortooth, the Megalodon. He's not as bitey as he looks, honest. Well.... maybe. We haven't tested this. None the less, your choices this week are Gasmata, Papua New Guinea; Lautoka, Fiji; and Minamidaitō, Japan! This shark has a chance for some killer swimming grounds, huh?

You all have at it, and we'll be back next week for the results of this round and a brand new creature!

It's a new week though! And that means it's now time to vote again. This week we have for you the Vuralien Merfolk Colony. A WHOLE COLONY! I hope it's roomy. But that's where you come in, you get to vote between Kagman, North Mariana Islands; Menumbok, Malaysia; and Umetch, Vanuatu.

Have fun and we'll run the conclusion of this session next week – and meet a whole new monster!

AetherCon on Mythwits!!!

Recently Chris Malidore and Stephen J. Holodinsky were on Mythwits. They said words at 'Podcast' Pete Bryant. He said words back at them. Some were big. Others were small. Some were not words at all but acronyms which by definition is neither a big or small word but only by a couple letters either way. There was a dog in the background and a cat in the foreground. You should listen to this. You can here!

This year's map is focused on the beautiful region simply known as Oceana. It should make sense as we go, so lets get started.

This week we bring you the monstrously bitey Karakhulak, the Giant Crocodile. Now, you get to choose between three locations on our map. Your choices are Darwin, Australia; Kagoshima, Japan; and San Rafael, Philippines. Be sure to put in your vote and next week we'll tally them up, place ol bitey next to the decided lair, and unveil the next monster!
