Summary

Runesael L. Flynn is an artist who wears many hats - concept art, illustration, synesthesia paintings, worldbuilding, conlang design, even writing. It's hard to put all of that under a neat title, so we're just going to settle for, "Visual Development," because that's probably the closest we can get.

Former clients include: Cubicle 7, Unbound Creations, The Vineyard RPG, Goldhart Gaming and many private individuals and small businesses.

Former TTRPG Lines: The Vineyard, Age of Sigmar, Soulbound, Warhammer 40k: Wrath and Glory, Warhammer 40k: Imperium Maladictum, Warhammer Fantasy RP, Victoriana 5E, Broken Weave, The One Ring 5E.

Originally from Florida, he's been pretty much everywhere in the last ten years. At his core, Rune is a storyteller and his work focuses on providing insight into the worlds and personalities of the characters and props he helps bring to life. He believes every object on a character should tell a very intentional tale, or at least evoke further questions into why it exists. (Or you know, rule of cool is nice too.)

Rune also has chromesthesia, which is a form of synesthesia that translates sound to colour. He uses this to paint music. It is absolutely as weird as it sounds.

When he's not making art, he can usually be found hoarding dice and playing TTRPGs on a variety of streams. He also spends entirely too much time playing Destiny 2. He's currently head-down in Substance Painter and Blender, learning new skills and is always excited for a new challenge.

Experience

  • Freelance Illustrator at Self-Employed
    January 2015 - Present

    Doing my own thing and making a whole lot of art while doing it. Provided illustrations, concept art, graphic design and advertisements for private and commercial clients. Probably should have gotten paid a whole lot more while doing it.

    Still doing it, despite my better instincts.

    Look, I make art. I do it well. I'm tired of being yanked around by people and companies who think artists are a disposable resource.

  • Illustrator at Cubicle 7
    Ireland
    January 2019 - January 2023

    Illustrator on Warhammer 40k, Imperium Maladictum, Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Broken Weave, Victoriana and The One Ring. Created a multitude of high-quality illustrations for all of Cubicle 7's lines. I also did some writing for Broken Weave.
