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!

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 – Demon King

About the time The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD was coming out, I was attending Granite Con in Manchester, NH. Clearly the game influenced a few of my sketch cards that weekend! Always loved the design of Gannondorf in that game!

Sketch Card – Welcome Mayor!

Though I usually wait a month or two after a game comes out to actually purchase it (Unless I really really want it!) I did eventually jump on the Animal Crossing: New Leaf bandwagon and boy has it been fun! I started off GraniteCon this year by drawing your trusty in-game assistant Issabel!

Sketch Card – FantaCon Samus

I had this sketch card pre-penciled before FantaCon, but decided to finish it off as my warm up at the start of the show. It was great fun coloring this and I even made some free-hand changes while inking to the design so it was more accurate. I’ve been drawing a lot of Samus lately, as I prepare my Super Metroid themed comic for my upcoming Beyond Mode 7 anthology with Jesse DuRona!

Next week CITADEL returns with a brand new chapter! Check out the cover inks for Chapter 2 on Tuesday!

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!
