Dear readers/watchers/whomever it may concern... I'll be uploading some new material throughout this year. Mostly hand-drawn or photomanipulation-based concept art, created for my own worldbuilding needs. Yes, I do worldbuild quite a bit outside of vexilology, and in recent years, I've also been focusing on writing fiction more often, on a more regular basis.


Though I will not upload every single bit of concept art I've ever made for my own fictional settings, I am willing to share quite a few. It took me many years to come to this decision. I'm a person that likes to protect their own IP and I take a very, very dim view of plagiarism, or people stealing another person's hard work. This is part of why I am still going to be selective of what art I do upload and which specimens will be only seen in my archives.


Some of my long-term worldbuilding projects, either for writing or gaming purposes, include a detailed space opera setting (writing purposes mostly, but also some gaming concepts), an early modern style fantasy setting with crime themes and an early industrial revolution (developed mostly for tabletop game design), and a more conventional steampunk/dieselpunk setting with an adventure travelogue and aviation focus (writing purposes). I do have one or two more in addition to that, but these three are the ones you'll be seeing the most concept art from. Each of my settings has its own particular underlying themes, style, and overall tone and flair. This extends to how I design things, draw things and write things. You're never getting generic stuff from me - everything I devise in worldbuilding has a personal touch. And this is also the reason why I ask everyone kindly to respect my copyrights utterly. If you appreciate my works, fave them, or better yet, discuss them. I'll be happy to answer any reasonable questions and feedback. Thank you.

Not a particularly big bit of news, but I'll be adding some new artworks to the gallery this autumn, primarily flags as usual. The highlight, a set of alternate history flags for fictional Austro-Hungarian overseas colonies, has already been posted. Hopefully you'll find them interesting...

I've been rummaging through my little portfolio lately, and found a few forgotten gems I thought were worth uploading. Here are the first two of that batch. More to come, sooner or later.

That fake advert I made for the "Chrochtadlo" DMU... It's been gone or invisible for some time now. Any idea what might have happened ? A legal issue I don't know about, or some technical issue instead ?

I was kind of busy in the last year and a half and mostly neglected this place. But now that I've built up my collection of artworks with quite a bit of new material, I think the time has come to finally fulfill my promise and post a few new flags to my Gallery. But, to make up for the rather long wait, I'll also be posting numerous other emblem-related artworks, particularly roundels and markings of various fictional air forces. As usual, since I like alternate history fiction, most of these flags, coats of arms and roundels will come from various alternate timelines/universes. I hope you'll find them enjoyable.
