toasty's work, mostly past year

[toasty]

Hey Ca people,
some people may know me from other forums, My name's Miguel coimbra I'm 31 and I'm a freelance concept artist/illustrator (I'm not related to another toasty on ca irc )
I've finally decided to post here some of my work from 2008 mostly. that forum became so much intimidating, so much incredible stuff lately


so here we go,

Last year I've been illustrating some more cartoony stuff for boardgames, very refreshing from my usual stuff

that game is based on the Easter island civilisation and place

(the cover)


(the board)


(board detail)




some backgrounds










Another similar project, "SmallWorld" ; basically a funny project involving an heroic fantasy world but not in a serious way :

(characters)


(cover)


(board)



======================
A book project still unpublished about orcs, I know its a lot inspired by the Lotr movie (client's wish)




























================================

some illos for a book about romans













=============
An some book covers for various editors




















that's it ! thanks for viewing this post ! hope you enjoyed it

The mood on leilan_t2.jpg look great ! And all your stuff for easter island are so cooooooolll :]

Massive purée effectivement

[Vaejoun]

Niiiiiiice !
The game concepts are really funny, I like them a lot.
And the roman-pictures have a lot of movement, my favorite is the Gladiator and the attack of the barbarians in rome.

And the idea with orcs against the americans is great. And the orcs look great, they bring back memories from the early warcraft games.
