Palladium Fantasy RPG Miniatures Teaserby ~MADMANMIKE

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Fantasy

A Teaser Image for the Paper Minis I'm putting together.

~kageryu Jan 12, 2013

This takes me back... Palladium games got me into RPG, which fuelled my art initially, oh so long ago (ok, it was specificly the old Robotech RPG line to start with back in the 80's, but I have a large stockpile of older Palladium titles).

With the exception of that old Robotech Game, I have all of Palladium's books, and Kevin Siembieda is number 2 on my speed dial. Thanks to Palladium's games, I taught myself the 'normal' behaviors (so I could more realistically play characters) that allowed me to largely overcome my Asperger's Syndrome, and thanks to Kev I have pursued my artistic talents as I always wanted to as a child. Four Rifter covers and several sets of interior art later, I'm working on these minis, spaceship deck plans and trying to write a Tombs of Gersidi for 2E.

I have a pretty large stock of older Palladium RPG books, but far from complete (missing a lot of the world books and suplements for Rifts and Heros Unlimmitted from the late 90's onwards) but the Robotech game was what got me started (was a huge fan of the Cartoon). I have every one of the original books (though they suffered some water damage) as well as the old TMNT line (minus two books that were hard to find in my area). Then picked up other books for compatibilities sake to expand my sci-fi/superhero games until I switched to other ssystems in the early 90's (but still ocassionally revisited palladium...especially some of the pen & ink art which inspired me back then and drove me to become more skilled...I think if you look at some of my hand drawn mecha you will be able to see the influences of those older Palladium books on my ink style). Good times...I miss it.

You should join our group, [link] . Even though it's called RIFTS-artwork, it's really a catch all for Palladium fans and freelancers.

Thanks for the invite, I'll give it a shot.

Is the finished art available for sale now? And PLEASE tell me that you're working on a set of Rifts paper minis too.

~MADMANMIKE Sep 13, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I'm afraid it's not available quite yet; the plan is to have NPC quick stat cards for each of the minis, so that the package will appeal to all PF players whether they use minis or not.. I'm still got a ways to go on the NPC stat cards..

As to RIFTS, I don't know how well I could do for that as the iconography is so specific and I don't have a library of 3D models that fit the bill... Phase World on the other hand...

I should note, there's been a slight stylistic change; there is a visible black line around the characters and no haze in the final product

Impressive! Nice range of different characters and races.

~MADMANMIKE Jun 8, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks. I can get 27 on a page for the humans, but with the Ogres being much taller I'll only have about 21 on the second page, each one front and back to fold in the middle with a bottom, making a narrow triangle.
