The former vice president also led chainmail workshops.

Milivoj’s real talents, however, lie in art. He studied painting at the graduate School of Applied Arts and Design where he now teaches, and later at the Academy of Fine Arts’ department for the conservation and restoration of paintings, both in Zagreb. As a freelance illustrator, Milivoj has worked for Applibot, World of Warcraft and Wizards of the Coast.

1 Fighter

Watercolour and gouache on paper, 19.5x15.6in

“An illustration for Jon Schindehette’s Art Order contest Ultimate Human Fighter. It was my breakthrough piece that opened the doors of Wizards of the Coast for me. After six years of trying to break into the fantasy art business, I succeeded with just one image, produced at the right time and at the right place.”

2 OrcCoo k

Acrylic and structure gel on paper, 17.5x13.3in

“This illustration was for a D&D Art Test Challenge. The idea was to create something different from the usual orc look, so I applied a lot of Croatian folklore elements to his outfit, the interior of the kitchen and so on.”
