Figurine Conversion: Monsters are our Speciality!
So many figurine manufacturers produce awesome monsters - ready for painting, photographing, and conversion to an illustration. -
So What Doesn't Work?
Anything that is hand-drawn doesn't convert well in our process. For the same reasons photographs of anime figurines don't convert well. -
Figurine Conversion: Character Portraits are our Speciality!
Whether you are a Gamer, a Referee, or a would-be Indie Publisher character portraits are going to be your most often used illustrations. -
Oh the Carnage!!
Not every game session ends well for the players - no, sometimes the game master wins!! -
CGI Conversion: Setting the Scene
While illustrations of scenes aren't always shown to the players they are very useful for conveying mood to the referee. -
CGI Conversion: Landscapes
There is no better way to convey to the players the wonderous vistas that their characters behold than by showing them an illustration. -
CGI Conversion: Architecture Illustrations
From the smallest outhouse to the largest castle our Architecture Gallery contains a wide variety of building illustrations ready for use. -
CGI Conversion: SciFi Vehicles
A photograph of a piece of miniature scenery can become the perfect illustration for your next project. -
CGI Conversion: Aeroplanes
Vehicles of the imagination take form in CGI. -
CGI Conversion: SciFi
You can almost hear the drone of the engines and the murmurs of excitement from the passengers waiting on the dock... -
CGI Conversion: Warplanes
The great advantage CGI has over photographs is that you can render the physically impossible but you can't build it. -
CGI Conversion: Portraits
Scenes so familiar recreated in CGI make excellent illustrations. -
Figurine Conversion: Scene Setting
CGI characters can change pose at the click of a button - making them an excellent choice for portrait conversion. -
Figurine Conversion: Encounters
You can convert photographs of dioramas into illustrations. Most of our Individual Illustrations utilise this process. -
Figurine Conversion: Large Figurines
Large figurines are easier to paint and easier to photograph - which usually results in a better illustration. -
Figurine Conversion: Vehicles
Vehicles often make excellent illustrations... -
Woohoo Libby!
It would be ungentlemanly to not enjoy painting Libby in all her poses... -
Figurine Conversion: Vignette
A single figure scene makes for an evocative illustration. -
Figurine Conversion: NFL Memories
Fantasy Football needs the odd illustration too... -
Figurine Conversion: Heroes Cry Out For An Evocative Illustration
Every gamer wants a great illustration of their beloved character carefully developed over weeks, months, even years of gaming... -
Figurine Conversion: Monsters are People Too!
OK, not really, that's why they're monsters - but they do deserve evocative illustrations! -
So How Does It Work?!?
We convert photographs and photorealistic images into illustrations. Here is an example of a figurine photo converted into an illustration. -
Photograph Conversion: It Isn't Just About Macro Photography!
We can convert stock photographs into illustrations. -
Photograph Conversion: Portraits
Portrait photography is a great way of sourcing new faces for character illustrations. -
Figurine Conversion: Action Poses
Illustrations of characters in dynamic poses convey a sense of urgency... -
Figurine Conversion: Freehand Drawing
The more detail on a figurine the greater the skill of the painter - and the better the resulting illustration. -
Figurine Conversion: Multiple Angles
You can photograph a figurine from multiple angles in order to create a variety of illustrations. -
Contrast!!
The magic in our process relies on contrast. We often tweak the photograph so that it looks terrible but converts nicely into an illustrtion. -
Figurine Conversion: Come in Number 7 Your Time is UP!!
Who better to watch over a small flotilla of paddle boats?! -
Figurine Conversion: Vehicles
Models of vehicles are easy to photograph and make for nice illustrations. -
Figurine Conversion: Just Because I Have Wings...
... doesn't mean I'm a monster. The fact that I AM a monster is just a coincidence. Nothing to do with the leathery wings...

December 2011
Today -- the 23rd of December -- we deployed the alpha version of the website to our new webserver and configured the URL. The website is now somewhat live.
This gives us an opportunity to review the look and feel of the site and get some information on how long it takes to display the pages. As we start uploading the stock illustrations into their galleries we'll have a better idea regarding any performance issues.
Months of work for us is now coming to fruition -- exciting times.
