The Exiles- B&W card Illustrations

The Exiles faction was practically the first faction I was assigned to develop concept-wise.
It was also the first faction to be developed for the game Conquest. Even though there were some creative guidelines nothing was yet set to stone and no one had any idea what they should be like, since, at the time, there was no visual development for any other race/faction in the game, yet. They were to set the the tone, so to speak. I must admit I took some of the guidelines and pushed them to their breaking point, all the while infusing the designs with my personal brand of crazy. It payed off (somehow :) ) and thus, were the Exiles created.
These are some of the Core Box unit B&W illustrations (concepts for these units, again, by yours truly), done in pencils, for the game Conquest by Para Bellum wargames. Initially intended as the command card illustrations representing the units, they were later replaced by selected details taken from the box cover artwork.
