These are the first of a WHOLE BUNCH of illustrations in cooperation with Scott Jones for his Gaming Guide/World Book for "Shard; a role-playing game of Dardunah".
Shard is a fantasy role-playing game based on an alien world where the creatures are animalized-humanoids. With a heavy Indian-Arabic culture, a vast array of clans of mammals (Vajrah), avians (Paksin), and reptilians (Sarpah), and an insectoid "animal" populace, Dardunah is a deeply rich world of legends, culture and adventure, and looks to be a unique and exciting new RP adventure!

This first series of illustrations was a collaborative effort between myself and Scott (as are the rest). They were rendered for a size chart and are therefore all male and wearing very little (to display body styles of the different breeds).
The next three pages are from the second set for the early Beta test published in September of '06, but they will also be used in the full version coming out in early '08. I seperated them by animal kingdom.
