Metablades Art Samples

Nevin FlanaganLeave a comment

Since the images I provided for the first edition of Metablades did not find much favor, new, more professional artwork was commissioned for the Expanded Edition. The original edition is also being cleaned up and will receive this new artwork, and prior purchasers will have an opportunity to receive this update for free when it releases.

The samples below, which are only portions of the full illustrations, are taken out of marvelous pieces by Sergio “Obsidian” Isaza, whose portfolio is available at The Ministry of Abnormality.

  • A vignette of a balding man handing an eldritch effect he has conjured to another man in armor, who accepts it in a free hand
    Touch Proxy feat
  • A close-up of an action scene; in the lower left, the face of a fighter whose sword is shattering the arm of an armored juggernaut.
    Focused Stroke feat
  • In the background, a mystic grins as ectoplasm pours off his form, coalescing into armored fighters that fly toward the viewer.
    Astral Centurion prestige class
  • A bare-chested man brandishes a sword up near his head; lightning jumps from his fingers to the blade. A grimoire sitcks out of a satchel slung over his shoulder.
    Martial Adept prestige class
  • And extreme close-up of an armored figure holding a scoundrel against his chest in a clinch; one of his hands is held over the captive's smoking face, where a sigil is being branded by his touch.
    Mark of the Infidel spell
  • A small protion of an image showing two fighters; a bearded male is conjuring fireballs from his spiked chain, which are being absorbed into the runes surrounding the woman's sword.
