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.

Quick painting

Just another quick painting. 20 min. Boring but good colors.


Wasteland Concept

More Digital practice
I think I still like the original sketch better!

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.

Black Wolves mercenary mountain fort.

Some relaxing landscape.

Twisted Menagerie Cover sketch

Now I need to transfer this grayscale sketch to the panel I am prepping today for the Twisted Menagerie cover. Nervous and excited about starting the painting.

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. http://spellburn.com/2017/04/04/episode-49-invoke-reid-san-filippo/
A reminder that there are 4 days to the kickstarter left.
