I have been sharing these posts, looking back at older work, for a while now, and they will become a more common occurrence on the blog in the new year as I transition away from art creation to writing on my next book.
Today, I am sharing a 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 "Executioner" design for an unproduced set of the game.
For the original design, I held back a little bit, and I was asked for more detail, and more of everything. Save one thing. In my original design, the Executioner's head was in a half hood, so you could see an open mouth yelling and eyes in the eye holes of the hood. I was asked to remove all of that and give him a full-faced hood. I was told that one of the reasons for more detail was that this was a common mini and would have few paint passes, and his clothes would likely be just black, or black with a little wash or dry brushing. Not sure why I gave him such little feet. A mystery for the ages.
That's all for another exciting Friday on the blog. See you back here next week! Until then...
