He's a long-time Ars Magica artist, and had several unpublished pieces that were looking for a home. Ars Magica was where they obviously belonged!  Michelle thought Brigid was particularly striking, and featured her in our ads and previews throughout the campaign.

Doug's talent for creating lifelike portraits just amazes me, and his Bestiary illustration is chock full of them. The process for this piece was particularly labor-intensive, because of the sheer number of models involved. First, I gathered photos of each of the real-life people appearing in the illustration, some of whom actually]]> … Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:03:00 -0500 http://atlas-games.com/news/post?s=2026-10-03-ars-magica-definitive-release http://atlas-games.com/news/post?s=2026-10-03-ars-magica-definitive-release The magical Ars Magica Definitive Edition just released!

Our thought was, to re-conceptualize Thomas' ArM4 cover for ArMD. We'd revisit the scene with the dragon for the centerpiece, then extend it outward to the two sides, to make the Storyguide Screen art. This very looong scene was broken]]> … Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:03:00 -0500 http://atlas-games.com/news/post?s=2026-09-26-ars-magica-definitive-release http://atlas-games.com/news/post?s=2026-09-26-ars-magica-definitive-release The massive Ars Magica Definitive Edition just released!

He described it as "a distant shot of a covenant built on a cliff that overlooks the sea. Choppy water down below and mysterious towers reach upwards.

Literally for a decade, he would hand in a completed manuscript ready for me to lay out, including months of outside playtesting for every facet of the new supplement's rules.
