This would appear to be the final look at role-playing game artists for a while again. Last but certainly not least, Palladium has in its newer crop of artists the very talented Mike Mumah. Like the last two artists Mike has some art in Dead Reign. Most of them are very clean line art with something of a minimalist take, where only the lines necessary are present and no shading is used. These pieces have dark objects like clothing and shadows in sharp flawless black. A couple show comedic movement and, a certain playfulness in contrast to the dark subject matter. All of them have good detail. One picture on page 76 is a stand out piece of digital art in smooth greyscale--in contrast to some colour digital art that Palladium has had greyscaled to the images' detriment.
This particular image from Mike has a very Tom Savini-esque biker ready for some zombie bashing. As a matter of difference this art has blending to make a chrome-like sheen to parts of the motorcycle as well as shading. It is surrounded by a couple of well-merged sunburst gradients--one from the headlamp--giving a sense of light in the darkness as well as focus on the rider. This picture is reminiscent of Mike's work for the special summer Swimsuit issues of Palladium's The Rifter. Rifter 39 on page 6 has an amazing femme fatal with a katana and cybernetic arm. It has good lighting represented complete with shadows. Mike's other contribution is a graceful mermaid on page 28 that shows excellent movement and emotion. These are just Mike's most recent work in this style.
