In 2006, joined by Romulo Royo, Luis Royo traveled to Moscow to complete a commission to paint a fresco on a domed ceiling, reflecting classic themes of eroticism. The process and result of this work was published in another art book, "Dome". Royo began to work on "Dead Moon" in 2009, a project with an oriental theme. This produced two art books, "Dead Moon" and "Dead Moon: Epilogue" that tell a love story. Royo also designed a tarot deck using the "Dead Moon" theme. The original paintings were exhibited at Salón del Manga de Barcelona, ExpoManga and retail store Fnac. In 2011, Luis and Romulo Royo started a multimedia project, "Malefic Time", that included illustrated novels, a role playing game, figures based on illustrations, calendars and other spin-offs. Royo worked with George R. R. Martin in 2014 to produce illustrations for Martin's novelette, "The Ice Dragon". An extensive collection of derived works has also been published, including calendars, collectible cards, and portfolios. In 1994 "Penthouse" magazine reported on Royo's work and later in 1996, one of his images was used on the cover of the American and German editions, both with an interior report. In the same year he received the Spectrum silver award for best contemporary fantastic art. Reports on his work also appeared in other publications: "La Stampa" in Italy, "Airbrush Action" in the United States and "Penthouse Comic" in Germany. In 1998 Royo exhibited at the Norma Gallery in Barcelona and at the Viñetas desde o Atlántico comic festival in A Coruña. He received the Millennium Prize at the 7th Salone del Fumetto Cartoomics convention in Milan in 2000. He also exhibited his work in St. Petersburg in 2001 and received the El Peregrino fantasy award at CTPAHHNK. In 2006 Royo exhibited his work at the 24th Barcelona comic fair. He also received the Unicorn fantasy award at the 7th International Fantasy and Terror Film Week in Málaga. Royo won the Inkpot Award at San Diego Comic-Con in 2015.
