I have nothing but good things to say about Empty Room. They're a professional and responsive bunch. Rick was easy to communicate with and was extremely timely in making changes when he worked on the Land of the Crane cover, which you can see in the examples above. They took great pains to make sure I was happy with the results each step of the way.

I'm certain I'll be working with them again on future projects.

Hey David, thankyou for the compliment, but it goes both ways man! As a first time client you were great to work with and your feedback was the key to allowing us to move that cover to completion while enjoying working on it. I'm actually pretty excited about Land of the Crane, so anything we can do to help move that to completion is good news for all the fans.

I don't really have anything to add except holy crap that art is awesome! The first four pieces especially are really incredible (I love the one of the fiend rending the world)! Nice job!

Thanks for the compliments!!! The first two were done by staff artist Joe Slucher, while the second two were done by Jeffrey Koch. The "fiend rending the world" was done for Jabberwocky Games, their Nyte Rpg I believe, another great client.

I have nothing but good to say about Rick and ERS. The cover by Tim Hibbetts for Temporality turned out great and working with Rick on the interiors for Hoards was quick and painless.

Thanks Bret, both those projects were great fun . . . and Jeremy Mohler (ERS art director) did an incredible job on the Hoards cover. We talked about that forever, wanting to get the "idea" right on it.

If you haven't seen Hoards, check it out: HOARDS


Empty Room Studios also did 3 covers for the "War of the Burning Sky" Campaign Saga, so we are all excited to see them released and very happy to have had a small role in such a great event.

I also wanted to mention, as I keep forgetting, that ERS artists do private commission work also. . . so if you have a favorite character you want drawn, feel free to contact me at the above e-mail also, just make sure it says "private commission" in the subject line.
