Jakub Różalski

Jakub Różalski (born 1981), also known as Mr. Werewolf, is a Polish artist. He is best known as the illustrator of the board game Scythe and related paintings, commonly featuring mythical, fantastical beasts, robots and similar concepts. His style combines the classic art style of late 18th and early 19th century paintings with modern fantasy and science fiction concepts.
Biography
Różalski was born in Koszalin, Poland, in 1981. He graduated from the Wyższa Szkoła Sztuki Stosowanej in Poznań, and resides in Kraków.
Works
Różalski created concept art illustrations for the 2017 Kong: Skull Island film. In 2018, an artbook featuring his works, titled Howling at the Moon, was published.
The 2016 board game Scythe was inspired by his art; Różalski has contributed dozens of illustrations for the game. It is the first major work in what Różalski calls the 1920+ universe, set in an alternative history universe, around the time of the Polish–Soviet War, but incorporating science fiction elements like dieselpunk or steampunk airships and mecha.
