First I hope everyone on the East Coast stays safe.
I haven’t posted here for a while, I’ve been updating my kickstarter page weekly. In case you missed it you can go here to see where the kickstarter project stands. I just finished the first part, 202 monster tokens. I still have close to another 200 to make before the end of the year.
I still squeeze in a few other projects at night and on the weekends. I finished another set of maps for En Publishing in their Zietgist campaign. I had promised to make some tokens for another guy before the Kickstarter took off and I made several for him early this month.
An interesting request came in to make a couple Shadow Run characters, the interesting part was that the first character is named Jake Chambers, for those that don’t read Stephen King he is a character in the Dark Tower series. I think it’s cool that Jake ends up in the Shadowrun universe if you can kinet.
So here are a couple samples of work not done for the kickstarter.

I’m a programmer and recently got back into D&D for my kids. I just found your art and absolutely love it. I’m thinking about writing a program that would do the following:
* Load graphics from a directory
* For each graphic select the desired size (1″, 2″, 3″, etc)
* Print each within a circle slightly larger than the desired size
* Organize them (group by size) vertically with long vertical line between columns to cut page into strips
* Alpha blend another standard image for damaged/dead version (one standard for all)
* Output to printer
The idea is to make it easy to print these out, cut into strips then use a hole puncher to make 1″ circles of them and then just glue the good and damaged versions onto the front/back of a 1″ slug or washer.
Color printers are cheap and this will help my game play with the kids.
I’m writing this to make sure you are ok with it, and I offer to give you the program when I have it working. It would be a Windows only program because that is pretty much all I know. Sorry.
Thanks for the hard work – these are amazing! I don’t have a lot of money to put into this, but I will be donating the program and some money as I can. I’m also going to talk to my kids to get them to order specific graphics for their characters…

Hey David, thanks, I’m glad you like my work.
I’d like to see your program when you get it done, I have no trouble with you making it.
If you are just now finding me, you might want to get in on my Kickstarter, even though it’s done you can still back it. For $25 you can get 300+ monster tokens. Check one of my previous posts for the KS link.
Thanks again.
