Who is Persuading Who?

An Illo I did today for a RPG product I'm working on - The piece is called "Persuasion as Seduction". I was given a lot of leeway on the 'look' of the game, and I decided to take the whole project in a very Jim Steranko direction.

Drunken Octopus Pugilist Society

An idea I've had for a t-shirt - finally had a moment to sit down and draw it up all fancy like.

And here it is in a nice distressed sepia

FAUST "Truth" Poster B

From a series of 'backstory' posters I'm doing for the Machination game.

Mur Lafferty's Heaven

I've been working on a side project with author Mur Lafferty. Mur's much lauded Afterlife Series is about to see it's first paper print edition, and as part of the production we dusted off an old idea I've been kicking around to do a set of old time luggage labels for the book. Here are some peeks at two of them.

I hope to do more such labels in the future - expanding into other universes *cough* Girl Genius *cough*

50 Fathoms: Blades of the Burning Sea

I found an old sketch I did for 50 Fathoms. Just a thumbnail that never got turned into anything. Now it has. This took about 3 days - done in Photoshop Cs5 on a 21Ux Cintiq

The Exclusive FAUST Kickstarter badge

Here is a look at the exclusive FAUST kickstarter badge which will only be available to the folks that pitched in $24 dollars or more to the Machination Project before the deadline - which at the time that I write this is in 42 hours (Sunday, March 6 @ 5:08pm).

We are trying to hit $1000 over our goal - doing so will let us release the game on both the iPad and Android devices at the same time.

The badge will be made of a silvery metal (Zinc actually) with a dark and ominous black enamel color fill. Once the deadline arrives there will be NO OTHER WAY to get this version of the badge. I will make only enough to fill the Kickstarter pledges.

Don't miss out!

Exodus from Five Fingers

I did a speed painting today to loosen up my digital skills

I call it "Exodus from Five Fingers" - and I had a time limit of 2 hours.

50 Fathoms: New Kieran City

On top of everything else, I'm still working on the color update of 50 Fathoms. One aspect of my old work that I really don't like was the cityscapes. Buildings were (and are) not my strong suit. Rather than work on everything else and save the cities to the last minute, this week I decided to tackle them head-on.

Tonight I started work on the capitol city of the Kieran empire. Here is the original peice from 50 Fathoms, Some "works in progress", And a close up detail - I'll be updating this post as I make more progress.

------ UPDATE 2-18 ----------

------ UPDATE 3-3 FINAL ----------

I realized I had too many tiers on Keira (and that it's important to go back to the original text and not depend on spotty memory about something you worked on 8 years ago)
