KickStarter Sketch Card – Peach

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,

Since I think you’re all so sweet, here’s the eternal thorn in Sonic’s side, Amy Rose!

Sketch Card – Blaziken

Fire Pokemon are probably the worst battle-type in the game…SO many weaknesses, especially dual-types…but MAN do they always look AWESOME!

Sketch Card – Super Fighting Robot

One of the best shows at MAGFest every year are The Megas! I threw this sketch card together shortly after their concert! Classic Mega Man!

Sketch Card – Marle

The damsel in distress who then turns around and becomes a leader in the games darkest hour, Chrono Trigger’s Marle has long been one of my favorite female characters in gaming. Sure she’s bossy and mischeveous, but cute and a powerful mage in gameplay!

Banner – Save/Continue GOTY

Happy weekend everyone! I was commissioned by my buddy JoeCam to do the banner for the #1 post of Save/Continue’s Game of the Year countdown for 2013! Tomb Raider came out on top with 4 #1 votes, so she’s the focus of the piece!

Sketch Card – Robotnick

Seeing how I’m still working off of a MAGFest high, here’s another classic video game sketch card: Dr. Robotnick! Called Eggman in Japan, it took almost a decade for that name to make it’s way to the States versions of the games. My very first video game was Sonic The Hedgehog back in 1991 when I was six years old! It’s stuck with me ever since!

Sketch Card – Kupo!

First sketch card I did for 2014, on the road at MAGFest! A classic Moogle, I’ll do a lot more of these little guys as their designs have changed a lot over the years, such variety!
