Or Not

Well that weekend playtest session came and went. We had a great time, and made a lot of progress in the development of the game. Sadly, the vast majority of that progress came in the form of "this isn't working, let's figure something else out". So we went back to the design doc, and have been building and scrapping ideas for a couple months now. We've got some new plans that I think have a lot of potential (again), but we're still ironing out the kinks, so I'll come back with info about that later on.

In the mean time, I've been hard at work on a variety of different projects.

I put together another portrait for a Lunar Ascension character,
wrapped up a few commissions,





And started to really dig into the world of Feudal Legacy and testing out what I was capable of achieving with the style I was developing. Of course, I can't show you all the work that I've developed, but I am able to release the odd image here and there. This is the only one that I've taken through to color, as I was just experimenting with how it would look. I wanted to make sure I could use this style to do the cover of the book down the line, because I do so loathe it when the cover of a book isn't representative of the work inside. Given that these were just test runs, I'm really happy with the results.





Oh, and I started preparing for the next expo and joined a video game development team. I'll update on these last two later, I think this post is long enough as it is. Suffice to say, super excited!

LA Update

Spent some time over the last week jamming out new content for our game. We've got a weekend long playtest session coming up soon, so I'll have a bunch more to share in a couple weeks.

Sketch Cards!

Starting into a new thing and thought I'd share. Right now I'm making four of these every day, but for sanity's sake I think I'll be dropping that down to two a day. I grew up absolutely enthralled with Marvel Cards, and have wanted to do something card related for years now. These are a good start, but I think I'll be testing out some more ideas over the next year or so, time permitting.

Anyways, here's a look at a what I've been up to. The next step is to cut them down and sleeve them, and then keep them safe until the Edmonton Expo.

2015 Original Art

Deep into con prep these days, so this is gonna be short. Trying to fill my originals portfolio back up, and am producing a fair amount of sketches to do so. I expect that I'll be going back in to ink, and possibly color, at least a few of these, but you can see them now, in their raw form.

Calgary Expo Incoming!

It's time once more to ramp up for the Calgary Expo. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment, and not nearly as much time as I'm used to, but I'm still really excited to see what I can put together. The work I've done for the board game (more updates coming) is not only giving me a chance to explore some conceptually different characters, but is also inspiring me to spend more time painting, and to take more risks with those paintings. It's made me significantly more confident, and most importantly, it's made me faster. I can just pop out a quick design in a few hours now, where it used to take a day, or more depending on complexity.

Looking at my Expo folder, I've got a bunch of cool pieces in process, a few of which look like they'll be done and ready in time.

Have a looksee at what I've got going on and feel free to let me know which ones you would most like to see finished.
