Orrin's Artist of the Week: Prometheus

Niklas Jansson, who seems to go by the name of Prometheus, mostly does pictures of old-school video game characters, robots, and monsters. Not that there's anything at all wrong with that. Though the monsters are, of course, my favorite part, I first encountered his work thanks to his redesigns of Megaman characters as cute anime girls. He has an interesting approach to digital coloring that lends all of his works a very appealing (and immediately recognizable) texture.

His most visible work out in the world is probably his work on the Dragonmech D20 setting. I've never actually read the books or used them to game, but the art is certainly nice. I think what ultimately won my heart, though, was the fact that he redesigned the characters and monsters from Fester's Quest, proving that he's the only person besides me who ever so much as played that game.
