ART GALLERIES

These art galleries include the original creature concept designs by the amazing Matt Frank.

Following Matt Frank’s designs is an incredible Nemesis poster designed by illustrator James Biggie.

After the poster, you’ll find a fan art gallery, including more than twenty-five pieces of art!

MATT FRANK CREATURE DESIGNS

This first gallery includes the original creature concept designs for Nemesis (Maigo), Scrion, Drakon, Scylla, Typhon and Karkinos by the amazing Matt Frank, whose work you might recognize from many Godzilla comic books. While they were based on descriptions straight out of the book, the concepts also influenced the story, as both took shape simultaneously. Check him out at:

JAMES BIGGIE POSTER

This next piece was commissioned by me, after purchasing three pieces of James’s fantastic Godzilla related art, which you can find at

FAN ART GALLERY

Soon after the release of Project Nemesis, I started receiving fan art inspired by the book. Other than two or three pieces over the years, my 40-ish books never generated a lot in the way of fan art. But PROJECT NEMESIS managed to stoke the imaginative fires for a large number of people. As an artist myself, I get a lot of pleasure out of fan art, and as I wrote PROJECT MAIGO, I decided that I would like to share some of that art with my readers, which is what you’ll find on the following pages. There’s a large range of ages and skill levels on display, but one thing comes across in every image: a love for the Kaiju known as Nemesis! And that is amazing and inspiring to me as a writer.

If you would like your fan art to be featured in any future Nemesis books, send it to
[email protected]
at a 300dpi image quality. The only real rule is that the images have to feature Nemesis (or any of the characters and new Kaiju from Project Maigo) and cannot feature any trademarked or copyrighted Kaiju, such as Godzilla, Gamera, etc... Thank you very much to all the amazing artists who submitted their work for publication in PROJECT MAIGO, and I look forward to seeing more!
