Alternate Token - Human Rogue

I know I'm kinda going backwards here. But it will all work out in the end. I'll be working on some references and drawings for the Rock Token next week.

But Anne Bonny here is one badass rogue. I'll have the original in my store next week for anyone interested.

I've also worked on the new tiers that I'll edit aft...

Dragons, Rocks, Rogues, Fates, and Pirates

I've been sketching and making notes for myself about what to make you guys next. I've sketched out some fun ideas for a 2/2 Dragon and a Rock. 

Right now I can share one new "booster". A Fate Counter. And some art for a 2/1 Human Rogue. I also have an artwork I'm making some painting updates to for a 1/1 Pirate. 2020-11-14 17:19:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Shake it up for 2021

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some ideas for 2021. I've made a fancy chart above to outline some ideas. Nothing is really set in stone giving us a chance to discuss either thru messages or comments below. So many of you have been with me for so many waves and I truly appreciate it and your input is important to me.&nb...

Ooze Wave Token Lineup

Thanks again everyone for taking part in the Ooze Wave. The lineup above has been ordered and I have to once again thank one of our great members, James, for his valued expertise when chatting about tokens. 

We have the main Ooze as an X/X that should cover a ton of cards. The sketch seemed perfect for a 1/1. I kno...

Ooze Wave Bonus!

I finished up the cat themed ooze painting. And I just wanted to try something else. So I set up a quick still life box and got to work. 

Happy November! 

Ooze Drawing

I decided I wanted to try something a little new. Usually I've been doing drawing on toned paper. I still love this but I wanted the opportunity here to possible transfer this drawing via my printer to some super heavy stock paper for painting with acrylics.

The drawing here is 8x10" And for now that's the minimum size ...

Ooze concepts

It looks like Ooze was the winner. Here's a few ideas I'm working on with the cat theme. Looks like a familiar got caught in a witch's Goop jar. Now it's loose and playing with a fire bug.

I'll chooze one tonight. Or maybe I'll do both so we can have a 2/2 or 3/3 as well. We've got a few options to work with.&n...

Demon Wave it is

With the end of the month fast approaching I thought I'd mock up some of the tokens for you guys. With this one painting and drawing you'll get 3 new token types! Based on the feedback I got I think these options will make the best tokens. I feel like the Minion would see more cube play than the Minor Demon so I thought the s...

Next Wave for September!

Hey all!

I've been hunkered down in my studio all year and I'm finally getting back to this painting for a client. The project this painting is for is on hold (and I wish them all the best that it can get back on track) but I felt it was too awesome not to work into a few tokens for everyone with their blessing. And we ...

Metal Tokens are in!

Finally got the metal tokens in. I'm racing to get a painting done. As soon as it's done, the packs will start going out. I still gotta sign a bunch of them so that always takes some time anyway. Just know they are in and your stuff will be in the mail soon!!!!!

I don't think we'll have a wave for the end of this month....

Happy Friday and a Human Soldier for ya

Alright, this will be our "free sketch" token so everyone will get one that gets tokens. I hope it makes your human decks happy to have this dude working for you.

This is an alternate artwork of a paladin painting I did a while back. The background was from a trip to DC when I did the GP there. After the show my wife an...

One more token for this Random Wave

Maybe that's what this wave will be called. The Random Wave. Having a Cat Soldier and an Egg just don't easily pair up for a catch all description.

But let's just jump to the cool portion here, the Cat Soldier! A black leopard leonin. I've been wanting to work on one of these for a long time. I was able to make one of m...

First token for the August Wave

Still not 100% sure what I'll call this wave but August Wave works for now.

I spent the day working on this Golden Egg for you guys. Among all the idea I had spinning around this worked best for the mood I wanted to go for. The dramatic contrast from the golden egg to the nest of bones. Gotta be a dragon egg right? ...

Custom Token Sketch

I realized I don't think I've shared very many of the sketches that go out. I got one done for the dog wave. I know it's a cat but for that wave Angel Tier patrons could have any pet for their custom sketch. 

I have a few more to do for the Angel Waves. I'll share those once I get them completed. All the other tier...

Dog Wave is a go!

Thanks everyone for being an awesome patron! This wave is going to support our pup Tiberius. He snuck a corn cob out of the trash bin. A bit of leaf we sticking out and he pulled it from the lidded bin. And off to the ER we went. He's since recovered. Most expensive corn ever....

The lineup with work as follows from the...

Shark Tokens!

Finally! I know, I know. The art for the Shark Wave is finally done. 

If you're new and seem a little confused let me explain. I was a little behind and launched the Shark Wave button before I had the artwork done. I had the alternate art ready but not the main art. So, I'll be doing a little catch up with the upco...

Shark! Sketch version

I am excited to share the sketch version for the Shark Wave. I went a little crazy with the color. Inspired by one of my comic favorites - Moebius.

If you think a friend will love it too make sure they sign up before the end of the month.

Thanks for checking in.

Stay safe and have a great weekend!

Shark progress

Hi everyone! 

I know it's been a minute. I've been working on new Magic assignments and getting a Kickstarter fulfilled. There's a scary pandemic out there but you wouldn't know it in the studio. Well, I feel it personally. Stress levels are much higher and the wanting to get away from it all urges all the time.&nb...

New art for Ikoria!

While I'm waiting for metal tokens to arrive for the Nightmare Wave I wanted to share some new art.

Ikoria and Commander 2020 previews have all taken place. I'm happy to share a few of the cards I'll have in each set.

Nightmare and Horror

Hi folks,

I just wanted to pop in and post a quick update on your next wave. Here's the Nightmare and Horror. The Nightmare will be the main token and the Horror will be the "alternate art". And the "sketch" version will be the Elk Token that didn't happen last wave. Everyone will then get an Elk this wave. 

...

Nightmare preview

This still creeps me out to look at. 

I'm sure Ashiok would be more than happy with this manifestation. 

I started working on this while out west in Joshua Tree. I was painting with a couple of artist...

Nightmare!

Hey everyone. 

I wanted to pop in during the Kickstarter campaign to share the progress of the next wave, Nightmare Wave.

It will be another fun sphinx cat creature to add to the ...

Kickstarter is live!

The campaign is off to an amazing start. Over 50% funded. If you haven't checked it out now is the time so you don't miss out on any of the early bird specials.

Waves are paused during the c...

By Patron Request

We've created a new reward tier thanks to you guys. We made it way more interesting than you'd have imagined. If it sells out I'll work on a Whale Token!

So, get some of your friends on board for this.

Can't wait to see how this all works out next week.

It's getting real

I can't tell you guys how much work goes into something that seems so simple. But after a ton of work, and some amazing help from fellow patron James we are finally ready for this Foil Token Kickstarter. Well, almost ready. I still need to make a video.

The foil token campaign will be launching on the 28th. There's a 48...

Elemental Wave Art Update

I mentioned I had already been working on the 5/3. I'm really happy to share it with you guys.

Again working within the idea of transformation I wanted to make something different from something that existed within my work. A new sentinel emerges. The Sentinel of the Eternal Flame.

And before you ask, no, that is ...

Elemental Wave!

We're certainly making some elementals. We have three so far. And a few more to come.

I still have on my list to make a 5/3 and a 3/3 Elk. 

And let's not forget about Crossbow Stev...

To all my amazing Patrons! Thank you so very much

Hi all,

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for a great year. I've got a lot in store for me next year as well. A few known ideas and many we will discover together.

I thought I'd also share some progress with this next wave. I have a lot of work on yet. I know this was supposed to be easier and faster...

Goin on Facebook Live around noon CST.

Hey folks,

I got my proof packs of the foil tokens for the Kickstarter next month. I thought I'd share the proofing process via livestream. I'll use Facebook for the event. If you're around and want join me!

Be Merry!

Happy Holidays everyone. 

I'm hoping you all have a great week. Even with all the stress I'm going to make the best of it. A few computer issues and a water heater that quit working is not going to keep me down. 

We're going to spend time with family and make too much food. Watch some movies and laugh as...
