Mia Miles

2005-10-19

An illustration of a runner character for the Shadowrun role-playing game setting (and similar science fiction settings).

Mia Miles is a techno-savvy street samurai able to run solo missions for rich clients. She has shown a remarkable calmness and control under heavy pressure and some even say that she is in fact a cyborg and not just an augmented human being. While her professional self as a combat-oriented runner has earned her a solid reputation, her personal life is a complete and utter mess with both ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends popping up at the most unfortunate times. Her ability to keep and nurture relationships is at the level of a prepubescent and her most vengeful ex-lovers/ex-companions consider her pretty much just another sociopath with little or no regard for the feelings or well-being of anyone else other than Mia Miles herself.

Work on this particular illustration was begun in 2005, then forgotten, revisited and altered in 2013 and 2016 and finally decided it’s now ready to be published.

Ethereal dragon

2013-03-17

A summoned monster illustration for the Shadowrun role-playing game setting.

Ethereal dragons are spirit-manifestations bending the fabrics of reality. Mostly these things are the results of powerful magics, but sometimes malevolent spirits push through on their own volition in locations where the fabric of reality is weakened for some reason.

Creatures summoned into the corporeal realm of existence may be in an incomplete, shape alternating form with additional limbs, malformations and unusual sized parts. The corporeality enhances while time elapses and in some rare cases the creature can eventually become totally corporeal. The nature of these spirits is extremely volatile, they are essentially hostile to everyone and their behavior is erratic at best and catastrophically unexpected at worst. While the summoning  might prove to be a risky business, one summoned to a strategically important location can be just what the doctor ordered.

Gabriel Veer

 

2013-01-19

A character illustration for Shadowrun role-playing game setting. Gabriel is a potent street mage with a special interest in cyber hacking. He epitomizes the “quiet observer” kind of person who – when called to action – performs his task with precision, accuracy, dedication and fervor. Gabriel does not want to bask in the lime lights, but instead prefers to stay quiet in the shadows. He rarely speaks and never engages in social chit chat or small talk that would serve only to enhance social standing. He really does not like people that much and especially loathes hedonistic and brash know-it-all types that can not walk the walk when need be.

Abor, Ogre Mercenary

2012-12-02

A character illustration for the Shadowrun role-playing game system.

Abor is an ogre mercenary with an attitude! He is a classic brawler, street fighter, bully and generally rather prone to violence as a means to solving problems – whatever the problem is. He is also a prominent member of the White Scorpion movement that is a digital rights movement focusing on data privacy of private citizens. Not a man of many oratory skills, his talents lies in the field of information gathering … by brute force.
