the long push to 2013

Hello, all!

for those of you who might not know, ive been working regularly for Paizo on some pathfinder campaigns for about a month now. its a lot of fun and im really enjoying it. Im not able to share the work im doing for them with you yet, but when i get the OK ill have tons of new stuff to share. ive got solid work almost til the new year, so i should be good and busy through the holidays.

Comic-con was also great fun, and it was awesome seeing those of you i got a chance to hang out with. It also made me realize that its time to make a more serious site, and that is in the works. (Thanks, Marc). ive never been this busy before, ever. even when i was finishing school. forgive me for not being able to stream as much, I hope you all understand. for those interested, ive started my first run at mentoring over on the daggers site. i run it on sundays, and i think it'll be a cool experience. you can follow it and check out the classes here-

lastly, heres a new piece i can share. its a new card for moonga, and it was easily the hardest thing my colorblindness has ever had to deal with painting. youll see why.

more soon. <3

some good news and some new work!

Hey everyone. first off, for those of you who frequent the stream, id like to apologize for not being on much at all lately. I promise ill get some time for it in my schedule soon. The reason ive been away is because recently ive had a huge increase in NDA work- which for those unfamiliar, means work i contractually cant share. Ive taken on so much that its been almost impossible to make time for anything else, including the stream. The good news is ive landed a freelance job with Paizo as well as several other smaller clients that will mean regular work. they've been tons of fun, and i cant wait to share what ive been doing for them with you when my contract allows it. Ill also be at new york comic-con, as those of you who listen to the stream have probably heard. if you can find me, ill give you a hug. if you cant, then prepare to leave the con un-embraced.

below are some symbols i wrapped up for dream reactor's card game. theyre sort of heraldic takes on the 6 faction symbols in the game. because the images had to work at multiple sizes, some very small, the textures had to be generalized and painted in manually with less details than a textured brush would offer. was a lot of fun to try my hand at.

more soon, I promise.

Old and New!

Hey! havent updated in a while. a lot has been happening! since my last update, ive moved into a really great but much more expensive apartment. this means I have to do a lot more work! ive been streaming less and working more and ive got all kinds of stuff in the works i hope to be able to show soon. today, im gonna upload some stuff from the villains a couple weeks back you may have already seen, and a newer card for Dream Reactor games. new paintings, some UI stuff, and sketches soon!

this might be done?

ive got some new jobs i have to get started on, and my move is wrapping up this weekend, but i wanted to post my king card which i think is done finally. maybe it isnt, but i think it is. who knows.

pics and love from the new workspace coming soon.

Thanks, Brah

Ooooooooo its been a long month. between the stress of moving, working freelance, and all the usual streaming and studying, its been a rough go lately. the move has been wrapping up and i should have it settled soon. But i wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so supportive and awesome on and off the streams. when i needed more work, you guys were there to help, getting me freelance gigs from forums i hadnt seen as well as even some card art for employers you had looking for new people. It really means a ton, so thanks for everything.

heres some new stuff, none of it done, except for the redone cathedral dude fixed with a paintover from david. theres also my villains spreadddd which i hope will be wrapped up soon, and that king card which i themed off some of my favorite stained glass. 

so thanks again to all you awesome friends. you know who you are. more soon!

Some new, Some old

hey everyone. thanks for all the positive feedback on the last piece, it meant a lot. i just got back from an impromptu  3 day trip to las vegas with my brother and ive been tryin to hit the ground running. ive got 3 new pieces in the works and i wanted to dump these 2 old ones and a rough for one of the new ones.

the oldest here is a weird and very specific character commission some of you might have seen me working on on the stream. this is as far as i got with it, and i really enjoyed rendering the smoke. so much so that ive adopted it into my momo image below, a book with, conveniently, a large emphasis on smoke.

also below is the my most back burnered image in recent memory. i had to stop working on it, as it should have been done ages ago. be careful of taking on too much at once! the consequences can be terrible.

more soon!

Best-

Updates!

Been very hard at work this past month. ive got a few more images ill be putting up tonight or over the weekend, but i wanted to share this giant mess below (with detail crops). this started as a sort of stress test, to see what i could do with the same 14 days spent on the gauntlet bloodsport. its got its flaws, but im satisfied with the improvement within the time alloted. updates have been slow on here- theres lots coming! between crimson conversations, NDA jobs, a secret project, and me and Dave's plans for the next year of daggers, ive been totally shut down with work! but im loving it, and look forward to sharing more.

Much love!
