Twisted Menagerie Cover painting progress.
I'll stick this in the garage and let it "cure" for a week before I go back into it for (hopefully) the last time.

Another sketch for cover painting.
Another cover design sketch. Since it's all under the red light it really needed to be a color sketch so I could figure it out. Seems pretty ironic to be making this image on Easter 2017

Underdrawing for painting.
Board primed and drawing transferred. ready to start laying down some color. I might get to some today. Going to try to keep putting up regular updates on the process, one step at a time.
This stage is pretty loose obviously and I don't spend a lot of time sketching out all the values or a lot of detail. I will refer back to the original sketch as I go.

Simple Pueblo
This was another based off of the quick little sketchbook landscape drawings but I decided to leave this one alone. I like the muted impressionist quality.

3 days left to go on the kickstarter. 500 to the next stretch goal.

Umerica Characters
I got the inspiration for these characters from Reid's description on the Spellburn podcast.

A reminder that there are 4 days to the kickstarter left.
