Gods be Fightin’

I don’t usually put rough sketches up here as stand alone posts… but I was kind of digging where this one was going.  If I can find the time I’ll work this one up into the more painterly style I’ve been enjoying lately.

Star Wars RPG Art Part II

And the other one.  They asked for a female pirate holding a Vibro-ax.  My favorite part is that she’s wearing both a Rebel Alliance general’s insignia and an Imperial Officer’s hat.  I like to think she’s pretty proud of those pieces.  I do wish that I’d made the blade of the Vibro-ax steel rather than golden.  Gold looks too decorative rather than functional.

Last year I made a couple images for FFG’s STAR WARS: Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook.  Due to minor life events (you know, like becoming a dad) I’d had to pass on a couple Star Wars gigs before this one.  It was a lot of fun to contribute imagery to the Star Wars galaxy, even in this very small way.
Here’s the first one:

Jury Duty Sketches

There’s a good bit of spare time when you’re on a jury.  You’re stuck in the back room but can’t talk to any of the other jurors about the one thing you all have in common… the case.  It’s a good time to sketch.

Another pre-Cora's bedtime piece.  There wasn't a preconceived idea for this one so it changed a lot as it went along.

This was made over several nights while sitting on the floor next to Cora's crib during her dinner wind-down time right before bed.  It's one of the more relaxing parts of my day.  I was looking at a lot of John Berkey right before starting this one.  I'd like to think it comes through a bit.

Put this together over a few lunches.  I'm kind of digging the heavy texture thing and am going to try the same technique in a few more.
