My second "Cthulhu" box cover artwork
Here it is! 🕵🐙 The official box cover for our expansion "Among Cultists: Down into the Abyss" from Andreas Schroth 😍
In the depths of the ocean, a life form unknown to us has been discovered. The creature is larger than anything that has ever existed on Earth... and it appears to be asleep.
However, since the discovery is too far away for us to delve deeper without any complications, a huge, top-secret research facility was quickly built on the neighboring islands. But as soon as the facility was completed, a jet-black shadow spread between the islands... and the horror took its course.

Das Voranschreiten der AI im Bereich Artwork ist einfach nur ERSCHRECKEND, sowohl was die Zunahme der Qualität als auch vor allem die GESCHWINDIGKEIT angeht, mit der aktuell neue verbesserte Versionen der AI angeht. Beispiel Midjourney: Die beiden folgenden 4er-Bildgruppen sind jeweils der unmodifizierte/unkuratierte ERSTENTWURF desselben Prompts: "cyberpunk police robot, full body, heavy, armored, neutral backdrop, ultrarealistic, highly detailed", einmal von Midjourney V3, einmal von Midjourney V4 (ca 3 Monate später). o_O Wir werden alle sterben... oder im Fall der Artists: Verhungern.

Latest Artwork Commission, and, believe it or not, an actual photobash of the player, who has white skin and dark hair and wears a totally different kind of clothing in the photo (dress style and color as briefed down to the hex code) :)
Ehre, wem Ehre gebührt. Florian Stitz ist immer awesome, macht aber normaler Weise Fantasy. Dieses Bild ist ein exzellentes Beispiel dafür, dass man einen Artist niemals durch seine aktuelle Auftragslage definieren sollte.

Illustration done for an upcoming book by Catalyst Game Labs
01/10/2022
Over the course of the last 1,5 year, we commissioned AAS Art & Concept to create Shadowrun metatype illustrations for our new improved successor of Genesis we are currently working on.
The goal was to have female/male illustrations per type and at least one of them should show enough of the body, that you get an idea of what makes the body special.
And while this is an ongoing effort (you may notice that Centaurs, Drakes, Changelings, Infected and perhaps Shapeshifters are still missing), we are already impressed by this collection - which is unpreceeded in this detail and completeness.
Auch in diesem Jahr wird Shadowrun DE Illustrator Andreas "Aas" Schroth (AAS Art & Concept) an drei Messetagen bei uns am Stand sein und in eure Bücher zeichnen!
Ihr findet unseren Stand wie gewohnt in Halle 3 - M110. Kommt vorbei und lernt "Aas" kennen!
📅 Do 13-15 Uhr
📅 Fr 14-16 Uhr
📅 Sa 11-13 Uhr
So you want to play a Merrow in Shadowrun (I don't judge). And you've read in the companion that EVO is producing a three-wheeled, Segway-like vehicle for Merrows who want to venture into the wonderful realms of the landlubbers. But .... how does this technological marvel look? Find out in this artstream for Shadowrun GENESIS.
Ab 18:00 im "Patreon Only" Discordserver AAStrium: PATREON ART STREAM.
Wir stellen das Cover der Erweiterungsbox für AMONG CULTISTS fertig, dem von "Among Us" inspirierten Brettspiel um Cthulhu und Verrat, und arbeiten danach am Titelbild eines geheimen Fanprojekts für SR.

Getting creepy. But still not as creepy as seeing my real SR portraits animated ...

First drafts for a Shadowrun(-esque) cover artwork (scene: extraction. One aircraft tries to exfiltrate someone, one attack craft is, well, attacking, and there's a walker thingie on a rooftop - which may be too much IMO but it's in the briefing).
Which is your favorite? (#1 to #6)
#1: Foreground rooftop with people to be exfiltrated, exfiltration craft approaching. In background: Attack craft and walker.
#2: Focus on battle between exfiltration craft (pilot) and attack craft.
#3: Focus on walker watching attack of attack craft on exfil craft.
#4: Perspective of attack pilot diving down on exfil craft, no walker.
#5: Person to be exfiltrated or shadowrunner looking up, seeing exfil craft blowing up. No walker.
#6: Exfil craft outflanking attack craft, focus on exfil pilot looking down on rooftop he has to get to. Walker firing smart missile.
Sending a prayer to "scene god" Klaus Scherwinski, any feedback welcome ;)

Ist eine Weile her, dass wir einen neuen Patreon begrüßen konnten - kein Wunder: Corona, Crieg, Costen und Co führen aktuell eher dazu, dass Patreons verschwinden oder ihren Support reduzieren müssen, was ich natürlich vollstens verstehe!!
Umso größeren Dank aber an Daniel aka Bär ... äh ... Behr, der heute in die Bresche gesprungen ist und mich fortan unterstützt.
ER LEBE HOCH!!!
Vielen lieben Dank an Behr und auch an alle, die noch dabei sind - und ebenso an jene, die es einmal waren und aufgrund wirtschaftlicher Zwänge aktuell leider nicht mitmachen können.
Liebste Grüße!
Euer Raben-AAS

Another Patreon's Gift ready.
This artwork was based on an original pencil sketch by the Patron (Stephanie Goltz, some of you may know her as the "Sprotte" photobash from the "Become your SR character" promotion). She asked for a color version "in a somewhat more clothed version" and in front of a Hamburg or North Sea backdrop.
Free art gifts start at the 3€/month tier. Your support is highly appreciated.

(Danke FB fürs Fressen des Beitrags - Hauptsache deine Info zu angeblichen Verbesserungen meiner FB Seite kommt 8x pro Stunde an, inkl. Einladung zur Tour der neuen Funktionen, die ich mir aus reinem Frust schon 4x angesehen habe)
Wie an anderer Stelle erwähnt, muss ich diverse Dinge loswerden, die bislang im Haus meiner (verstorbenen) Mutter einen gutbehüteten Platz hatten, aber leider keinen in meinem 1 Zi 36 qm Palast finden.
Zu diesen Dingen gehören auch 2 dreiteilige Bilder (Triptychon), 1 in Acryl (das mit der "dezenten" Kapitalismuskritik (hing jahrelang im Büro eines Berliner Bankvorstands - das hat man davon, mich als Sohn zu haben), 1 in Öl (gespaltener Kopf und Hände) sowie einige weitere auf Leinwand gezogene Bilder (meist Acryl, 2x Öl (Drachenkampf und Landschaftsbild)).
Falls also jmd ein Interesse hat, einen "echten AAS" in der Wohnung zu haben - JETZT ist erst- und wohl letztmalig (da ich heutzutage praktisch nur noch digital arbeite, ich hätte für Acryl und Öl auch keinen Platz) eure Chance.
Interessenbekundungen gerne an [email protected] - und die beiden Triptychons (Triptychone? Triptichoi?) gehen natürlich nur jeweils "als Set" weg.
Aus naheliegenden Gründen werden Selbstabholer (Berlin-Charlottenburg, wo die Bilder aktuell notzwischengelagert werden) bevorzugt berücksichtigt - ABER auch Versand ist möglich, wenngleich ich aktuell NULL Vorstellung habe wie das geht und was das kostet (die Dreiteiler sind echt rel. groß, k.A. ob DHL/Hermes sowas anbietet oder ob das per Spedition muss...)
Moin!Das Schattenkompendium ist frisch erschienen - also muss eine Rezension her! Hört es euch gerne an!Hier könnt ihr direkt zu den einzelnen Abschnitten di...
It has been quite quiet on my channels in the past few weeks, and since I just got the permission of the client to post some pics, I wanted to show you what has been - and is - keeping me busy:
I am in the process of designing my very first gaming board for a fantastic, upcoming new social deduction tabletop game: "Among Cultists" from Godot Games, for which I am also contributing some character art and will be doing the cover artwork.
"In AMONG CULTISTS 5-10 investigators of a secret society try to prevent a dark ritual in Miskatonic University. Unfortunately, evil Cultists are already among us! AMONG CULTISTS, inspired by Innersloth’s masterpiece AMONG US. Secret kills, lying, voting, finding dead players, no player elimination, roles and more awaits you!"
For , I would love to do a picture honoring the community. Being an old cis hetero male, I have some fear of using clichés and being accidentally distespectful. So please: if you are a member of the and know what SR is, leave your suggestion in the comments. Or share this post to people that could help. Thank you!

Mal eine GANZ andere Frage:
Ich arbeite ja nun seit Jahren ausschließlich digital, ABER das war nicht immer so.
Aus meiner Zeit "davor" gibt es (neben allen möglichen Bildern in Acryl und Kreide und Tinte und Bleistift, die ich schon aus der Verglasung geholt und in zwei Künstlermappen verstaut habe) zwei dreiteilige Bilder (Triptychons) in Acryl auf Leinwand - eines hier sehr unscharf aus einem Video abgescreenshotted - plus einige wenige weitere Bilder auf Leinwand (2x Acryl und 1x Öl), die ich infolge der Auflösung des Hauses meiner verstorbenen Ma "loswerden" muss (notfalls bringe ich die noch irgendwie hier oder im Keller meines Pa unter, weggeworfen werden die in keinem Fall).
Ich bin nicht so arrogant zu glauben dass es Sinn macht die zu versteigern o.ä. - aber hätte da irgendjemand ggf. Interesse dran? Ich habe null Ahnung, weder von Preisen noch davon für welche Summe ich mich davon trennen würde - ABER mal als Schuss ins Blaue: Wer Bock auf einen "echten AAS" hat ;) und zwar ein haptisches/klassisches Gemälde, der möge sich sehr gerne melden (bitte per Mail an [email protected]).
(Vorr. nächste Woche werde ich auch nochmal Fotos der Gemälde machen, sobald ich die aus den div. Stauräumen geborgen habe).
Die DeMeKo ist ein mächtiger Medienverbund, der für jede Interessengruppe den passenden, maßgeschneiderten Spin anbietet.

offers many ways to create really unique characters, as this commission of a SURGEd elf with satyr-like legs and devilish horns showcases. I really like the touch of the AR flame between the horns (all in the briefing; I'm just the guy doing the illu). That was a real fun pic to do, esp. since the reference material (a pre-composition of two players/SR enthusiasts into one character in cosplay/nun attire) already was pretty awesome.

So ... before I started doing Digital Artwork I did several pieces in Acrylic and Oil. Since my mother died they have to leave her house (about to be sold) ... any takers? I mean: Yeah, the ones that can be rolled up or put into a folder, null prob, but there are 2 pretty HUGE tripdychons on canvas frames that I don't have any room for ... so ... well ...

New artwork completed: A Yuan-Ti decker wallpaper with quite specific wishes regarding composition and pose. I hope the client likes it - I had great fun doing this.
12/03/2022
There is a vote going on about the best artwork of all time, and the fan picks will be published in a poster book.
AND THERE IS ONE PIC BY ME IN IT!!!! (((o_O))) https://pollunit.com/de/polls/shadowrun-art?page=2
Vote and share, share, shaaaaaaare!!!

Another day, another experiment: TODAY at 8 pm CET (apparently 2 pm EST, correct me if I'm wrong):
My first art stream in ENGLISH (Germans still welcome ;) ).
We'll be doing the final elf metavariant (and maybe the first NAGA) for the GENESIS SR character app and talk about anything you want to know (AMA).

New Streaming "Plan". Because it's better to surprise viewers with an unexpected stream than to frustrate them by cancelling way too often. http://twitch.tv/dasrabenaas

And sorry to emphasize this: But when I started out doing illus for SR, all I was ever any good at doing male trolls and orcs.
I managed to draw up dwarves and norms and elves eventually, to varying degrees of success, but my greatest difficulty was and is drawing women and also catching the skin tone of black people (light behaves quite different on dark skin than on white skin) ...
So this here really is the best "black woman's face" I ever came up with on my own (no photobash, no real reference apart from the headgear/scarf). No need to boast - there are no limits on the level to improve - but I am surprisingly happy with how she turned out.
