This coming June will mark twenty years for me in the gaming industry, and this is also my twenty-sixth year as a working artist. I have made a lot of work over these years, and as I focus on larger projects with multi-year timelines, it is hard to keep this blog updated regularly. I have kept this thing going since 2009, and I would like for it to continue. To that end, I thought I would look back at works I particularly liked, enjoyed making, or seemed to fall through the cracks and went unnoticed.
Today, I have another miniature design that I did for the now long-dead miniatures game, Dreamblade. Dreamblade will always be near and dear to me as it was the first game I ever worked on and one of the times I felt most free as an artist working in the gaming industry. This is the "Gear Man" design for an unproduced set of the game. I wonder to this day if they had started any of the sculpts for these and if somewhere there had been or still is a prototype of it out there.
I always liked this design of the asymmetrical body form and offset head, as well as the big hands for smashing. I can imagine that the mini would have been one color with a nice wash or dry brush over it. The mini would end up being used in kit-bashed custom creations by gamers and would have lived on and on. Or not. We shall never know since this one never saw the production finish line.
That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here Friday! Until then...
