I’ve been waiting years for an excuse to post this dumb thing I made.

Hot off the presses. New illustration for my board game Arena of Shadows. I present to you the Lady of Gristle.

This is round 2 - previous attempt never sat quite right with me, much happier with this attempt!

New thing I did for my game. Making these illustrations doesn’t come easy to me, but reasonably happy with this guy.

Still extremely proud of all the art produced for the game, from 2D to 3D to something you can pick up and play with.

The game was very well received in 2018 at PAX unplugged so I’ve never given up on it despite feeling winded and a bit lost in production right now. Watching folks enjoy playing your game is a high I'll never stop chasing.

I moved to trying to get a digital version of the game out in the mean time. Unfortunately two different engineers I hired and paid ended up ghosting on me before completing any shippable work

An older sketch, but one I’m pretty happy with
