Hey guys, I am a professional illustrator and I work for some places like Fantasy Flight Games, Privateer Press, Paizo, Catalyst, etc.

I figured this is a better place for art than 'General Discussion'

Also, I am accepting custom commissions, just message me on here if you are interested.

I'll start off with a few 40k pieces I have been working on for a while, that got a bit of a refresh during Spectrum (the art show in KC)

edit - Website was hacked, you can check out my portfolio here now: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Galefire-Portfolio/11389539

also my blog is now here: http://galefire.blogspot.com/

I am going to start a P&M blog to show some of my process as well, since I generally end up posting it on my website anyway.

All of that stuff is linked in my sig

so feel free to drop by them.
If you want to follow me on something like DA, that is here: http://michael-galefire.deviantart.com/

I will post as I complete more, hope you enjoy!

So is this all done by hand, or what?

Amazing pictures, I can't even begin to think how you get from beginning to such an amazing end result

It is all done by hand, yes.

Glad you like them, you can check out my P&M Blog thread if you want to see how I tackle these a bit more

NEW!

**daedalus-templarius**

Couple new things

**Cave_Dweller**

This stuff is amazing, keep doing what you're doing. Your illustrations are incredibly detailed and awesome!

**SheSpits**

Almost all of your figures have no waist. They are wide and thick all the way down to the thighs. That kinda kills it for me, also the way a lot of them are posed there body doesn't flow/ angles are off. Just my two cents your coloring is nice its kinds of a kick back to older 90 era colors with a touch of modern sc-fi glows.

**Epicus Maximus**

Wow.... You sir have an amazing talent!!

Your art is very inspiring! Please keep posting your work because I know we wold all like to see more!!

I have a thing against waists, since I personally don't really have one.

I'll try to pose myself and my models better in the future, tell 'em to loosen up.

Agreed, although I enjoy your work I find that all such figures, be they SM or in these cases some sort of heroic winged daemon slayer should have a waist. It would really kick your work up into the realm of divine work of arts.

**Tyranidcrusher**

Man, all this stuff is crazy dank.

**daedalus-templarius**

I pretty significantly updated these two, and wanted to call your attention to them.

Off to the printer for gencon tomorrow!

**daedalus-templarius**

Its coming together!

See you at gencon

**radioaktivemann**

Awesome Work!
