Mob Town Concept Art

Here is some concept art for my up coming game Mob Town (working title) soon to be published by 5th Street Games. Originally it had a semi-gritty mob theme with human characters. We are changing it up to animals to lighten up the theme a little and to inject a little humor as well.

I start my sketches right over the card template I made previously, then sketch using a Wacom tablet and Adobe Photoshop. Doing it this way allows me to make sure the characters are going to fit nicely on the card without key elements being cut off by frames or icons.

From here I am going to clean all these up by redrawing them by hand. I will then scan them into the computer, ink, color and shade them with Adobe Illustrator then bring them back into Photoshop for the finishing touches. Below is a sample of where these characters will soon end up. I know I am not a very good writer, so if you have any questions on my process, please ask them below and I would be happy to answer.

Mob Town Art

I realize that I have not posted in really long time. I have been very busy perusing my other passion which is board games. My first game Mob Town is being published by 5th Street Games and I could not be happier. Until I have time to fully get back into the swing of my blog, here is some sample art from Mob Town.

It has been a long time…

I have not posted here since September! That’s pretty pathetic. I have been really busy but I feel that I need to keep up with some more consistent posting.

 

I am going to change a few things on my site in the next month or so and try to encompass both of my hobbies, art and board game designs. So if anyone is reading this, hang in there. I am going to try and get back to this!

Bodacious

I started drawing this girl and about half-way through decided that she should be a stereotypical 80’s chick. Not sure why, maybe it had something to do with the fact that Duran Duran and Depeche Mode are pretty much always in heavy rotation, and maybe it didn’t.

Peeping Tomcat

This was done awhile back, but I have not posted it here yet so here it is. This was simply an image that just took shape as I was drawing. I started with the girl then got the idea for the rest. I set it up with a simple color scheme to leave open the possibility of creating a screen print.

Contemporary Pin-Ups Sketch Card Preview

Here is a preview of one of the puzzle cards that I did for an upcoming Sketch Card set called “Contemporary Pin-ups”. This started out simply as a girl in a sexy bunny outfit and then quickly evolved into a really fun image.

Zombie Tattoo Design

This is a tattoo design that I did for a co-worker of mine. I know its old news to some of you, but I am posting it here because she just got the tattoo this weekend and her artist did an amazing job translating it to the world of ink!

Also…Ouch!

Contemporary Pinups Promo Card

 

This is the Promo card for the upcoming Contemporary Pinups sketch card set. The artists were asked to submit a pinup in any format to use as a promotion piece. I am doing 15 hand drawn sketch cards as well that I will post once the set is released.

 

I have really enjoyed working on this set. Ken Galan, the set creator, has created what I am sure will be an amazing set of sketch cards and promo cards. Thanks Ken, good luck with the set!

Lil’ Superhero

Couldn’t resist, I had to add this one!

Lil’ Cowboy

This is the first of five images that I created to decorate my son’s room. He has been here for 4 months now and I am just now getting back to my blog… I’m hoping that you find these images so darned cute that you will forgive my absence.

Pizza Turtles

Good morning everyone, what’s for breakfast? Pizza you say? Well well well, then have I got something for you to look at! There really is no rhyme or reason that I made these. I just started drawing a cute little turtle, then it hit me that he should be a ninja, love pizza and come in 4 different colors!
