Hi there - 

I'm Michael Fiamanya,  founder of

 I produce commissioned art and am also working on a range of new self-
published fantasy / sci-fi titles that will see light by the end of the year.

My first title in the pipeline is a paranormal actioner called MASTERS OF WAR, 
and I've got a whole bunch of in-development art I'll be showing you from it, along
 with a whole lotta commissioned concept art also (that I can get permission to 
use)...!









Renegade druid Wizdro (having just reactivated the powers of Stonehenge and 
announced the return of the age of Avalon)...

 ...Major Thrett - an ex-military cop whose sword (confiscated from an antiquity 
thief of war hotzones) draws dark energy directly from the stone circles 
(even more reason for him to watch his head, I'd say!)... 

Dettah Neyter (real name: Kara Flynn) uses her remote viewing abilites to hunt 
her soul twin Starcyde,  who was born within an inescapable stone tomb 
said to extend infinitely in every direction.... Dettah uses her gyrorazor to protect 
anyone helping her in her search, and to make short work anyone who dares 
stand between her and her sister.

Here's a closer look at designs for the broadsword-toting Major Thrett, 
gryorazor-wielding Kara Flynn, and the unstoppable death-droid Obliterator... 

 

Here's a couple of concept sketches of mine recently commissioned by Isys Entertainment, 
of their flagship heroine Isys Omega 

Here's a concept shot of some vehicles that may be used in Masters Of War's 
upcoming story Black Harvest - the notes may give you a feel of the 'dark times' to come...

Three concept sketches here that I did for Isys 1002 Entertainment: the main 
characters from their upcoming sci fi comic book Kut'tah & Mah Sun...

and a member of spacefaring rock group and saviours of the universe, 
Jam Starr 3x

My concept sketch for another member of Jamm Star 3x, the bassist with vast 
secret powers, Athya!

Another Masters Of War concept pic now: The Necrogaunts, Pointmen, or
'Zoms' as they're often referred to. At the right moment, the masks of these 
undead footsoldiers' slam open to reveal a hovering, irresistably hypnotic orb 
that forces their victims to step into [i]nightspace[/i], where they renounce all 
they hold dear in their desperation to escape 'the worst place in the universe'.
No prizes what happens to them next - yep - they're 'conscripted' as more 
Zoms!

 

Another from Masters of War, here's a concept painting of  deadspace-dwelling 
assassin, The Gurrencor:

Here's an early image of Major Thrett, and the war droid Obliterator - fighting 
on the same side (an unlikely situation now!)

As shown in  in the comic, the Marshals - our good guys - mostly fly around 
in this  souped-up old crate, a modified Dominion  Iron Eagle starfighter...  
Mostly.


  




Here's a concept shot of the Zom gestation lair, lying between our world and 
deadspace, and serving as a bridge for the creatures to arrive here to devastate 
the Earth! 

The deadspace droids, built to trawl oblivion in a never-ending hunt for lost souls...

Here's a concept pic of Lijia, Masters of War's queen peddler of the ultimate 
high in the universe - miniature black holes. Naturally, she doesn't touch the stuff herself. 

Here's a concept pic of alien racer/bounty hunter 'Tyr', commished by Isys1002 
Entertainment for its sci-fi saga 'Galaxy Remixed'...

Another Masters of War monster, these guys are space-faring immortals who 
have outrgrown evolution, having surpassed all 'learning' necessary for survival. 
They're called the Dunn, perhaps because to all physical intents they are... 
but they're not averse to using the 'lower' species as game for their bloodsport...

A li'l ole sketch done on the bus...

So what do those big ol weird moon boots do? Keep checking in on this thar 
thread to find out!

 







More characters on the scene here...

Starcyde...

 

It's the shiny happy city of Arachnos... well, not so much with the happy, unless 
you're into some big-time masochism. I'll show you the inhabitants sometime
 - can't give to much away now, but let's just say when they tell you they're 
having an old friend for dinner, they're not  just (ahem)... spinning you a line...








































Here's the opening salvo splash page to another comic I'm working on, 
Sacerdotal , where I had quite a job capturing the writer's panel description of 
at least two cities... he says he thinks it looks great, though - so I guess I 
managed to get it all!
