Mid March Update: Tokens

Hey everyone, it’s St. Patty’s day.
I finished a new set of modern tokens today. The set when released will have around 40 tokens of various professions. It’s really just a small sampling of the tokens I want to make, but it’s a start. More than half of these were commissioned work, some of them for a zombie game, the rest are just your average person doing their job.

I’d love to do a whole range of zombies and zombie survivors but of course like all projects it’s got to wait til I either get a commission to make them or I have the time to do my own thing.

Which brings me to the meat of this post. I’ll be taking the majority of April off. All requested work that I get now is being bumped to May. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop for the past couple years. I have not updated my website since 2007! This blog has allowed me to at least post newer things. So my goals are to revamp my site, creat a DB of people I interact with a lot and those patrons who have bought my products. I also want to get my newer work into the various VTT’s. I made close to 60 tokens in just the past month.

I hope to make a couple updates in April so please check back and if the blog is down that means I either am updating it or I screwed it up royally.

Here are some views of the modern tokens and the pig-faced orcs I made.

 

February Work: Illustrations and surprise, more tokens.

Hey Everyone.
February is already filled with new work requests and March is looking to be just as busy.
I have started work on some creature illustrations for 10×10 games. It’s a nice break from the tokens and I’m pretty happy to note that I have got a bit better since the last batch I did for them. Part of that is just working at a higher resolution. The other part is having drawn a lot in the past year I was bound (hopefully) to get better. You can find out more about Conclave on their site: http://www.playconclave.com/

The other stuff not too surprising is even more token work. I have quite a few requests in for custom work. The ones I’ll show you below are a series of historical viking warriors. I think if I can make a few viking women I can add in a viking ship and sell these as a pack. Image below.

In the Que is a new set of maps, some pig faced orcs and a healthy pack of modern characters.

Thanks for reading.

 

Custom Character Tokens

I’ve wrapped up the remaining custom character tokens for Table Top Forge. There were some great characters in this batch. I’m excited to have them done and now I can focus on the Monster tokens.

 

Kickstarter, GenCon and me.

The Kickstarter is going well, over $4000 raised so far. I’ve done a couple videos of me making tokens and I plan on making a couple more. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out you have 13 days left, please check it out.

I’m off to GenCon Thursday, so if you are going to be there let me know, I always enjoy meeting fellow gamers. I’ll be walking around so I don’t have a set place I’ll be.

In the works are 20 tokens fro a patron, 30 custom tokens for another kickstarter, 20 or so token statues, and when my kickstarter ends about 200 monster tokens if not more. Luckily school starts next week and if I can keep the social media sites turned off and if I don’t get sucked into Breaking Bad and more episodes of Full Metal Alchemist I should be able to do about 3 tokens a day, so in 3 months I should have my current workload done.

Thanks for stopping by.

More tokens and Kickstarter Update

Well the Kickstarter is off and running, In just over a week I have made it half way to the goal. I’m going to start making monster tokens on a daily basis.

I’m one token short of wrapping up a 20 token job for Shawn, he has been very patient as I have had to divide my time between making tokens, making making maps, making lunch for the girls and making a trip back to Iowa for my niece’s wedding. It’s been a busy month but I think things are going to slow down now that I’m throwing my name all over the place Oh, and I just remembered I have 30 custom tokens owed to the backers of the Table Top Forge Kickstarter. Guess I won’t be relaxing quite yet.

Next Week is GenCon, I’ll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’ll be the guy wearing the geeky t-shirt.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by the blog and has helped out with the kickstarter, I appreciate all the help.

Here are a couple of the tokens I’m wrapping up this week.

 

My Kickstarter is live.

It’s not live yet, but it’s been approved. SO august 1st I will be opening the doors.
Here is a preview, I don’t plan on changing things but I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks.

A couple tokens

I am currently working on a token request of 20 tokens. It includes some good ones like Gnolls and the ones I have below. It’s to all over the place to be a set, but the parts will make a good start for several themed sets.

I’m also close to wrapping up the WHM illustration which I’ll post if I have permission to do so.

I’m also throwing in some maps that I am doing for EN Publishing for the their Zeitgeist adventure line.

 

 

New tokens and Early February News

I spent the weekend making this set of tokens. There is one additional token in there that isn’t part of the set.

If anyone can tell me the setting for these tokens I’ll send the first correct response a free token pack from my store.

In other news, work is steady. It seems when things start slowing down andf I think I will start some of my own projects three or four emails will come in with job offers. Occasionally they will fizzle out but most of the time I end up adding another job to the list and my own projects go on the back burner. So what kind of things would I be doing if I was bored? I have been working on a card game with an amazing illustrator, I’d like to create a boardgame with a sci-fi theme, and continue making new packs of tokens.

 

Iron Golems

Made a few Iron Golems this week.
I’m alos finishing up the large Space themed bit of work. I’ll post those images and some tokens for that project in a day or two.
Looks like I have 5-6 Map commissions in the works, so only a few tokens will get done this week. I have started on the Dragon-Kin tokens and hope to have them done within a week.
