GraniteCon Sketch Card – Shuckle

Posted on October 4, 2014 by admin

Probably one of the cutest, most innocent looking Pokemon. Shuckles are hardy on the defense and pretty scarce as I recall, back in the days of Gold and Silver!

Kickstarter Sketch Card – Adol Christian

Posted on October 2, 2014 by admin

I’ve never played a Ys game. For shame! I love the music however, so sweeping and amazing and full of passion! Someday I’ll sit down and blow through a couple of the classics. For now, here is a sketch card of Adol Christina from Ys III Wanderers!

KickStarter Sketch Card – Hero of Time

Posted on September 25, 2014 by admin

There were a LOT of Link requests for sketch card rewards. A LOT of Link. I mostly stuck to the SNES version Link to the Past design, but occasionally shook it up and pulled a different generation of our favorite green-clad hero!

GraniteCon may have been a slow year this time around, but I still did some fun and fantastic sketch cards for some very enthusiastic fans! Here’s the first, fighter Kirby!

KickStarter Sketch Card – Peach

Posted on September 18, 2014 by admin

That’s right everyone, just because the Beyond Mode 7 Kickstarter is winding down doesn’t mean the art from it will simply go away!

I did over 50 sketch cards for the campaign and over the next year-plus I’m going to be featuring one every Thursday on my usual sketch card spot! This means all other convention sketch cards are now going to post on a new, special Sketch-Card Saturday posting! I’ll start of course with the sketch cards from last weekend’s Granite Con!

The first sketch card up is Princess Peach! Always on the run, sadly, I hope one day she gets her own adventure and kicks some Bowser butt!

Thanks,

Beyond all expectations

Posted on August 8, 2014 by admin

This week Beyond Mode 7 officially became a reality! I picked up the print run and boy do these things look snazzy! The quality is superb and I cannot wait to start sharing these things with all our backers, and then very soon with everyone else!

Rewards posters have also been printed, including a bunch of Blair Shedd’s amazing Legend of Zelda print and the bookmarks are printed, laminated and just need to be trimmed down to size. A lot of this work I’ve been able to do by-hand on some great machinery and it’s really made for a personally rewarding experience.

Citadel is still unfortunately on indefinite hold as I still have to wrap up sketch cards and rewards commissions, but I do still plan on having Chapter 2 ready to go in-print for GraniteCon (Where BM7 will also premier!)

Finally, Jesse and my application for MAGFest 13 this coming January is in! We hope to get a table this year again and bring BM7 directly to the fans who inspired the book to begin with! So exciting!
