Charity weekend wrap up - THANKS EVERYBODY!

A super big thanks to everyone out there that helped out with and contributed to the various Spread the Love events this past weekend. Many more thanks to everyone who called in or stopped by in person to bid in the silent auction on Saturday. Saturday was amazingly awesome and from what I hear, very successful. The art auction alone raised over $1400!

More thanks goes out to all that bid on my ebay auction that concluded yesterday. My Dreamblade drawings are going to a very good home. I hope he won't mind me mentioning it, by our very own custom miniature guru David Thies was the winning bidder! You might recall my posts about David's excellent work, if not, you can check it out HERE, HERE, and HERE. Many thanks David!

Somehow with all these events going on I still was able to finish a drawing that I have been working on for myself. Hopefully this little guy will be back soon in a more colorful state. For now, here he is in all his black and white glory...

It has tentacles, so you know it is going be good!

Warforged Armor Designs #1

Today I bring you the first installment of Warforged armor that I designed for the Dungeons and Dragons Character Visualizer. This is the last of the armor I designed for the Visualizer and it is in many ways the most different.

Since the Warforged are living constructs with bodies made out of metal and wood all the armor had to be attached to the bodies surface rather then worn. I tried to work mounting plates and bolts into the designs to feel both functional and decorative. The cloth and wizard attires are more clothing-like, but do take in account for their mechanical bodies, allowing room for unhindered knee and arm movement. The armor is also unisex since the Warforged are genderless.

I was looking through all my Warforged files this morning and I will be sure to bring you my sketches after I post all the sets. For the most part all the sketches go though the same sequence: too much like worn armor, too elaborate, just right.

Don't forget my CHARITY ART AUCTION is still going on! Head over to EBAY to bid on my art and help out my friend.

I will have more information on Friday regarding other events happening this weekend that you all can take part in to help the cause. Until then...

I hope you will take this opportunity to help out my friend as well as get three pieces of my art. Please pass this along to anyone you might find this of interest. All I ask is that you use ebay to ask any questions regarding this auction. Good luck to all bidders, I hope these drawings find a good home and that we can raise some money for Stephanie!

I will be taking part in another live action event this Saturday, January 30th, here is Tallahassee, Florida. Proceeds from this are also going to the Spread the Love Charity. I will be auctioning off a personal piece. There will be a way for individuals outside the Tallahassee area to bid in this auction. I will have more details about this auction later in the week.

Things coming down the pipeline

Stopping by quickly today to let you all know about some things to keep an eye out for in the coming week(s) and month(s).

In two weeks I will be taking part in a charity art auction for the Spread the Love Charity benefiting Stephanie Little. The art auction is on January 30th in Tallahassee, Florida. I will have at least one piece in this auction. I will also be selling on ebay a full set of turnarounds for a miniature I designed for Dreamblade, with all proceeds going to the charity. This will be the first time I have sold any of my original work produced for Dreamblade. The auction will be going up next Sunday or Monday. I will be keeping you all up to date as this progresses. I hope everyone interested in owning some of my original art work will take this opportunity to win some art and to help Stephanie.

In the coming months I will also be showing work at the new location of Bacon & Bakin'. They will be moving soon and will be able to take part in the local First Friday events. They have asked me if I would care to show work in their business in March or April. I look forward to doing this and hope that if you are in the Tallahassee area that you will come out. I will update you on this as I know more. If you are curious to the types of cool things Bacon & Bakin' makes, check out these cool Cthulhu cupcakes I got to have at my birthday this past October. Ancient God yummy goodness!

You will go mad at the sight of these tasty treats!

Beware the Deep Ones!

Eyes of the Beholders! RAWR!

I will continue to update you on these events as I know more. I will be back on Wednesday at my normal posting time. Until then...
