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 was really trying to have a new post about some more recent work, but things are kind of crazy, so here we are) 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 "Knight with Bell" 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 the dragon motiff I worked into the armor design. The armor has flaws and issues, but the mini would have been small and I am sure would have look just fine. Not sure why as it is sort of cartoony, but the dragon sword with the blade a jet of flame still pleases me And let us not acknoweldge the dragon loaf as the helmet's crest. I should have worked a dragon onto the bell.
That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here Friday! Until then...
