GraniteCon Sketch Card – Shuckle

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

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

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 2014 Sketch Card – Fighter Kirby

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

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!

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 – 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!
