Granite Con Sketch Card – Dagger

Posted on October 18, 2014 by admin

Princess Garnet is still probably one of my fave FF female characters. Most of it is nostalgia for sure, but at the time when FF IX came out, she impressed me as a fun, ambitious, and brave protagonist in a world where the ladies were usually damsel fodder or simple love interests.

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!

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!
