Troll sketch card for The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey

This is my final illustration done for The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey trading card set. 

And although this isn't a very popular or sought after character by collectors, this is seriously one of my favorite cards from the set.... Wish I had kept it.

Phat con!

Phat con was so much fun... It was super busy, which was great. I didn't eat anything all day except for a blue moon.... But still had a great time. 

I unfortunately didn't take many pics because dave and busters was so dark & my iPad doesn't have a flash... So, oh well...

But I just wanted to let you know it was fun, and it was a free event, so you should go every year, because if it keeps growing, it won't be free for long.

Bombshells: Women Of War Sketch Card

Good morning, here is another Bombshells sketch card for the Women of War set by Bad Axe Studios. I was trying to go for that traditional pin-up look, but wasn't too fond of how it cam out. should have put more detail in the pupils of the eyes, the collar bone is non-existent, and although the hands are correct, they look funny because the bottom few fingers are cut off. I also think I used a little too much colored pencil on the face, because it looks a little too gritty for me.

Anyway, those are my gripes....what DO I like about it? Hmmmm.....maybe the clouds?

Done with copics, gel pen & a couple prismacolor pencils. Gotta get back to drawing more zombies....take it easy!

Battle Maiden Sketch card for Bad Axe studio's Women of War set

This one is a monsters head stuck on a pike....done with copic markers , as well as a brush pen.

A Demon Fantasy Sketch card for Unstoppable Cards

Yet another one of my Fantasy art sketch cards, for unstoppable cards over in the U.K. Great bunch to work with, responded to me right away & even worked with me, because the shipping took three weeks, out of the month I was given to complete the 40 cards I did for them. Here's One of my Demon cards done in a monochrome using warm & cool grey copics, as well as a brush pen.

Fantasy Sketch cards Bloody Vamp

Hello everyone, Sorry that I've been MIA for a while. I've actually been drawing, its just that I can't release the images until the card company says so.

I've recently completed a set of 40 sketch cards for a fantasy set. The set will be released all over, but primarily in the U.K. as that is where the card company is based. I've just been given permission to show these so that is what I will be posting for the next few weeks.

( For those of you who aren't familiar with sketch cards they are miniature 2.5x3.5 original artworks, created to be inserted in packs of trading cards as an incentive, or a special prize for collectors. The quantities of these sketch cards are limited so they are rare and are often sought after by art collectors & trading card collectors alike. If you remember back in the day of baseball cards, they would sometimes put a prize in the packs. The prizes would vary Maybe it was a sticker, or a foil card, or even a 3d card, and this is along the same lines, however they are more unique and rare because they are originals done by several artists specifically for the set.)

I have to warn you, this isn't the best work I've done due to the card stock that was used for the set. The stock itself was very nice looking, but the surface was very waxy & it was akin to drawing on wax paper or transparency sheets. My markers ( copics) would just puddle up on the surface & my inking pens would take FOREVER to dry. The card company ( Unstoppable Cards)was very understanding & let me know in advance that the stock would be a challenge. So what can you do, just roll with the punches.

I'll be posting the individuals that I liked the best, and at the end I'll post the full sheets so that way they'll all be here. I just didn't want to post every single card individually, but if anyone would like to see one in particular just email or comment. So without further ado here is my bloody vamp.

Crystal Ball - Worlds of Fantasy - Z-sketch

Here is Sketch card # 18 that's going to be featured in the " Worlds Of Fantasy" trading card set that will be sold at New York Comicon. I'm doing a total of twenty sketch cards & one base card. I have to wait for approval before I post them. The interesting thing about these cards is that they unfold to display a larger sketch. They are called z-sketch cards. so on the upper right hand corner is the front of the card & the lower left hand corner is the back with the signature. The rest of it folds up like a map. I've included two pics, one is just the card front & the other is the entire sketch, unfolded.

I used copic multiliners & markers for the majority of these cards.

The Undead - Z-sketch card for Comicon
