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!

Check out the full write-up here!

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!

Sketch Card – Tri-Headed

Technically this is not a sketch card, but a commissioned full illustration from GraniteCon 2013. I posted it with my convention report, but it hasn’t gotten it’s own full post yet into my art archive, so…in lieu of a sketch card today, here’s the three forms of Bahamut from FF VII!

Sketch Card – Duck Season!

Here’s a re-upload of an old sketch card from MeCAF 2011! Used to love those old Bugs versus Daffy episodes of Looney Tunes, and for some reason when I was a kid I always identified with that zany duck! NEW sketch card next week!

Sketch Card – Blastoise Attack!

Yet another MeCAF Pokemon! Blastoise always was a fun one to draw for me for some reason!

Sketch Card – Mistress Keo

My friend Keo is a game streamer at Instagib.tv and member of the VaughnLive crew. She’s also a furry and this is her alter ego! The color on the hair was hard to match with my limited palette of Prismacolors, but I have a better idea of how to approach it next time! And there will be a next time, she’s super fun to draw!

Sketch Card – Link

I’ve officially run out of MAGFest Sketch cards! Now I’m creating them as warm-ups in my studio before I work on comics most days. I hope to build up a BIG fat pile of them for my upcoming conventions and next year’s MAGFest! This time around I’ve done a classic Link from the very first Zelda game on NES! I picked up a copy of Hyrule Historia and am feeling super excited and inspired by it!
