ALLURIA PRODUCTS: Remarkable Races: The Relluk LOCATION: Perth - Western Australia BIO: I have been studying art and it for the last 8 years and have recently graduated from University with my Bachelor of Art in Graphic Design to add to my list of certificates. Currently I'm working as the senior graphic designer for a digital lifestyle company but am always looking to break into conceptual and game design, I am in the process of setting up a small Conceptual art/ Illustration business with a close friend, Molehill Creations, which if it gets up and running could be exciting. I have worked on a few independent games as a concept artist as well as a movie project. I am a fantasy nut and absolutely love to create worlds and come up with creatures, monsters, races, and lore to fill them. I am currently writing a book called the Shadows Mage - it is a constant work in progress and I often get lost in creating the world itself instead of the storyline. I am also working on a children's book entitled "Wannabe" which is about a duckling that wants to be a dragon.

BIO:Sam Flegal was born in October 1980 in
Midland, Michigan. His love of illustration began when his father, while
trying to calm a fussy three-year old on a plane, introduced little Sam to
the world of drawing. Immediately intrigued, he quietly traced what his
father drew, much to everyone’s relief.
ALLURIA PRODUCTS: Remarkable Races: The Mogogol, LOCATION: Perugia, Italy
BIO: Since when I was a small child, I started
messing with pencil & paper, colors and brushes. I've always been fascinated
by fantasy, horror and science fiction, and my first works were inspired by
al genre of media of this kind, form comics to books to movies. I attended
art school for about an year after graduating, but I left it after a short
while, since it focus too much on "formal" painting and limited my interest
in figurative art and illustration and into graphic design. I started
working as a freelance in the field of graphics design, and later I founded
a company I still run. We mainly do web-design and custom software. Along
with my work as a graphic designer, I continued developing my skills in the
fantasy/science fiction illustration field. I added to traditional painterly
techniques all the innovation given by computer graphics. I do my
illustration mainly for private commissions and personal use (I'm also an
avid role-player, and most of my art was used to add visual aid to my own
games), but I also did small freelance work from time to time. My personal
inspirations are the old masters of fantasy illustration like Richard Corben,
Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, Larry Elmore and also the new generation of
artist like Brom, Craig Mullins, Todd Lockwood and many more. I always try
to improve my skills and develop a personal style which is not only
imitation of those models but something more. Other samples can be viewed

ALLURIA PRODUCTS: Remarkable Races: The Squole, Remarkable Races: The Anumus, Remarkable Races: The Numistian, Remarkable Races: Expansion Sets I&III LOCATION: Chicago, IL USA BIO: Eugene Jaworski is a freelance artist and illustrator from Chicago USA. He spends way too much time in his basement studio breathing in noxious turpentine fumes, watching cheesy fantasy flicks (think Beastmaster), and painting images of things that never were. His ideas come from years of playing Dungeons & Dragons and reading fantastic tales by authors such as Tolkien, Moorcock, Lovecraft, Howard and many others. These stories creating in his mind a bridge to the creation of his own particular fantasies. He likes to work with pencils and oil paint to create his images, as he loves the effect he gets with these traditional mediums.

BIO: A brief bio of me... for any who are
interested. About the most accurate thing that can be said of me as a person
I guess is that whatever virtues I may have are the result of far better
people than myself. My life in general revolves around my wife, my family,
my friends and all the day to day hassles that go along with domestic life.
I've always been interested in military history and aviation, and my first
experiences with art involved drawing airplanes on paper bags on the living
room floor when I was 4 years old. Around the time I started high school, I
began to read a lot of fantasy, and fell in love with Tolkien's work
immediately. Not long after that I discovered role playing, and particularly
fell in love with all of the amazing artwork to be found in all the books.
My interest in art began not long after I learned to walk, so naturally,
when I saw all this work, I began to try to imitate it, and well, that's
what I've been doing ever since. In the beginning, the artists that
influenced me more than others were Larry Elmore, Keith Parkinson and Frank
Fazetta. I was also reading a lot of comics at the time, and the work of
guys like Joe Jusko, Michael Dorian and Jim lee had a big influence on me.
Lately the artist's I've been most impressed with have been Todd Lockwood
Luis Royo, and Paul Bonner, as well as a lot of work that is being done in
the computer gaming industry, guys like Samwise Didier and Ian McCaig. In
addition to my interests in art, I also build a lot of military models, and
for the last several years have been working off and on at creating my own
gaming system and game universe. It may never get finished, because, frankly
it's a lot more work than I thought when I started, but between that, my
other hobbies, my artwork, and all the hassles of life in the real world, I
stay busy. Most of the advice I could give another aspiring artist would
simply be along the lines of what NOT to do, because I've become a bit of an
expert on that, but the one thing I'll say that matters more than anything
else. Do what YOU want to do and what YOU enjoy, not what somebody else
thinks you should. It is a bit of a cliché, and probably every artist in the
business will tell you the same thing, but it truly cannot be said enough.
