BAXA creates art for Sigantium Kickstarter

Sigantium Campaign Setting - Kickstarter
I’m excited to announce that I’m contributing some art to a brand new campaign setting for D&D and Pathfinder.  The core product is a hardcover tome featuring new classes, races, feats, magic, creatures, demons and more!  Plus there is many cool reward tiers in the Kickstarter campaign.  Derek and the team have come up with some really great stuff. Sigantium Kickstarter Page

You create a Demon, Baxa paints it
There is a special BAXA rewards tier in the KS campaign where you get to design a Demon for the world and we will work together to create a full color illustration of your demon that will go in the game book complete with stat by the game designers!!!!

The Sigantium creators ran a contest like this pre-launch.  Here’s the description and the Demon I painted.  You can have your demon come to life too!! [ Note: For some reason Chrome and Firefox render this illo super dark.  Please view in Internet Explorer or Safari ]




Nix-Grokaar Description:
Once a lower lieutenant to a more powerful demon, Nix-Grokaar, the Violate Wind, rose to his current rank after his master was destroyed during the last angelic crusade. He is a violent demon of thunder, sky monsters, and physical lust. He despises mortal affection and has crafted several cursed items designed to doom those in love.  He appears as a ten-foot-tall, bald, jet-black humanoid with large, ram-like horns, and serpentine eyes too bright to directly look at.   Two sets of peacock-colored, oily avian wings line his back, flanking a spine of jagged, protruding spurs. His canine teeth are bone-white, as is his saliva free tongue and mouth.  While he has the hands of a human, his feet are the three-toed claws of a hawk.  He wears a skirt of bird skulls and his favorite weapon, Shrike-scar, is a scourge fashioned from the vertebrae and talons of celestial eagles and rocs. -- Robert Gresham, Portland Oregon, contest winner 10/9/14

I’m also doing a full page oil painting of a fiendish necromancer type sorcerer raising a demon.  Here’s the sketch.


There is a lot of info on the Sigantium site and FacebookPage about the campaign setting, so check it out.  I hope you’ll contribute to the Kickstarter campaign to bring Sigantium to life! Sigantium Kickstarter Page

BAXA in Chicago Gallery show Maleficium


My friend Anthony Kosar is hosting an awesome HORROR THEMED gallery show at his Kosart Effects Studios & Gallery located at 760 Burr Oak Drive, Westmont, IL 60559, in the west suburbs of Chicago.  All my Chicago peeps - go check out the show!

The opening is Saturday, Nov. 15th, 2014 from 3pm to 10pm.  There are tons of super talented artists showing their paintings and sculptures; and Anthony has some other cool stuff planned as well.  Take a look at the gallery page www.Kosartgallery.com for details.


You may recognize Anthony as being the season 4 winner of the movie make-up competition tv show FaceOff on the Syfy channel.  He's an amazing special effects make-up artist, sculptor, painter and instructor.  Be sure to look at all he has to offer at his studio / school website: www.KosartAtelier.com .

This is only the second gallery show I’ve ever participated in, so I’m very excited to be a part of Maleficium! Here's the three pieces I have in the show, all of which are for sale:  1.) Rot Mouth, 2.) Bloodjaw, and 3.) Bloodstone Alien.



 

Anthony will have his work on display as well as his student and Face Off Season 7 winner Dina Cimarusti.


Don't miss this chance to see a ton of very cool horror and monster art all in one place!
Tom
