The rest of the Anthrocon commission for https://twitter.com/PizzaSkunk Inspired by Pacific Rim, a custom Vivid-Jaeger, piloted by me 'n Liz, fighting a multi-headed hydra-like hellbeast. Thank you Leon for the awesome commission! 8D
Working on some more art for the new website redesign, and also as background assets for the video game. ....I might try to do a few variations on this image, for different times of day. Also considering multiple cloud layers for subtle dimensional effects in the game.

Posting some art for https://twitter.com/PizzaSkunk from Anthrocon! ...2014. We're getting caught up! Too much to do.
The Plush kickstarter is shaping up to launch in mid-August. A huge truckload of factory-produced Whip plush is our primary goal- but for the higher tiers, we just might be able to offer some handcrafted treats...

This one isn't done yet- still need to do water effects, daylight streaming in, shimmer reflections- but it's getting there!

We're gearing up for the Whip plush Kickstarter- aiming to mass-produce the little bugger. And if the pricing shakes out, we may try to add a limited run of hand-crafted Mace or Vi plushes for the higher tiers.
But for now- here's Track 19 of the official Dreamkeepers score attached, for you, for free!

We're back from Anthrocon- and here's our latest Prelude update! PSD file attached.
Wayward Astronomer art, including the posters, are at last accomplished.
Currently polishing off a few take-home commissions from the convention, then it'll be time to rebuild the Prelude buffer- and get the new website underway. More updates to come!

I don't know now, but whatever you guys decide, I'll be drawing it tomorrow! Hopefully finished in time to post before Anthrocon, otherwise I'll share it right after.

Working on another portion of the Wayward Astronomer poster- another background element that may be pulled for double-duty as a video game asset.
I wish they still made buildings like this. Why can't the dentist's office in the local business park also be a work of art?

Alright then! More progress art shall be seeing its way to this feed, thank you for the feedback. 8 ) And on that note, I thought I'd share this still, and stream for a bit if anyone wants to watch me putting some shadows on the snow. https://picarto.tv/Dreamkeepers

My question is this:

I'll come by this weekend and compile the ideas for voting.
I'm currently hoping to finish the Wayward Astronomer poster before Anthrocon- so it's possible I'll be sharing the Monthly sketch after we get home from the convention, in early July.

I've been busy with some backdrop illustrations, figured I'd share some progress with you guys!
This is a Starfall forest ridge- meant to serve as a backdrop for the Dreamkeepers video game, and possibly also for the website's new background.
We have a bunch more in the works, I'll probably share more samples with you soon. E ) Thanks!

Thank you for backing us at the PSD level!
Attached is the PSD file of the recent monthly sketch, Mace and Paige what-if. Within you can find some of the paper textures I toasted and scanned, I really enjoy the look they can give these drawings. Feel free to use them yourself if they help with your work. 8 )
I also experimented with some techniques with painting on layers and the smudge tool- I'm still not the best at painterly styles...

The monthly sketch submitted by and voted for by the Patrons. This one holds a special place for me- thanks everyone!
It's an illustration of what things would have been like, if Paige had never died, and they made good on their plans to escape and become bandits.
PSD file coming tomorrow for the PSD-level backers, but wanted to at least get this up before crashing tonight.
