Zoltan Boros (born October 15, 1965) is a Hungarian artist who has provided artwork for several roleplaying games, including Dungeons & Dragons, HearthStone, and Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, often pairing with fellow artist Gabor Szikszai.[1] He is one of the most prolific artists of Magic: The Gathering.

Career[ | ]

The high-school friendship born from the fact that both of them lived far from home, in the residence halls of Budapest Secondary School of Fine Arts, blossomed into their first common project right in the very first year, when they created illustrations for Galaktika, one of Hungary's most popular science and science fiction magazines. Both were influenced by the other's talent, style, and visions. They accepted each other's critical remarks and observations and tried to make use of each other's strengths and advantages. As time went by, co-illustrating matured into a steady work affiliation. Their works were based on analog freehand drawings, though they tried to use technological possibilities to their best advantage.

The historic success of their first artistic collaboration kept the two artists together as “Boros-Szikszai” for the next 25 years, through an assortment of assignments including advertising illustrations, storyboards for numerous multinational advertising agencies, and artistic illustrations for book covers, role-playing games, and trading card games.

The Boros-Szikszai collaboration ended in 2010, with Zoltan moving to New York State.
