MagiKids x UltraPro Charity Auction

Leading up to Gen Con, I created an image for the good folks at UltraPro for their MagiKids Charity Auction. In the past, the auction would take place at Gen Con, but this year, it is happening afterward online. While the online auction is not live, I wanted to share the piece I did for it and links to the auction landing page. From any of these links, you will be able to sign up for a prize pack giveaway as well as info regarding the auction when it is available. To start things off, here is the image I created for the auction, a mighty Beholder.

I had so much fun with this piece, and it has left me wanting to make more like it. It was freeing to be able to have some fun and experiment. While I have loads of fun working on my book series, there are parameters I am working within for the story, so I am not always in a position to just draw Beholders all day long - no matter how badly I would like to. We will see what comes of my time working on this and what it might lead to. While I have included the direct link to the auction landing page, here is a photo of the QR code for it as well.

This QR code will take you to the landing page for the event.

You can sign up for a chance to receive a prize pack and to get info for when the auction begins.

That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...

2016 Gen Con Charity Playmat

Today I have for you my contribution to the 2016 Gen Con Charity Auction. This year the auction will  benefit The Pourhouse, a local Indianapolis organization that assists individuals experiencing homelessness in the area. As an attending Magic the Gathering artist I was approached to create a custom playmat that will then be auctioned off at Gen Con. Since my Ancient Carp card was a fan favorite last year it seemed like a easy choice to create a custom Ancient Carp playmat. Here is how it turned out...

A big thanks to Josh Krause for reaching out to me for this. In the past years the playmats have done well and I hope they do even better this year. I am not sure if the auction is open to people not attending Gen Con, but if you are interested let me know and I can look into it. Here are some images of the playmat coming together...

Gen Con Charity Custom Mighty Mugg

If you are familiar with Gen Con you might be familiar with the work of Matthew Teets. Matthew or "The Charity Auction Dice Bag Guy" hosts an auction at Gen Con to raise money for a different charity each year. Typically he gets attending artists to customize a dice bag (like I did last year) but he has been branching out to play mats and this year he had blank Mighty Mugg figures. I jumped at the chance to work on the Mighty Mugg! So if you are attending Gen Con this year and want to own a custom plague zombie by me and want the money going to a good cause, here is your chance!

 He is coming to get you Barbara!

 Plague Zombie full turnaround in all its glory! RAWR!

 RAWR!

 I can't make a zombie without the guts dripping all over the place... I have standards!

The charity this year is the Stars Youth Foundation, hopefully there are plenty of zombie lovers out that to help his plague ridden monster bring is a lot to help out this organization. Some months back Jon Schindehette put a call out for artists interested in doing Dungeons & Dragon themed custom Might Muggs for Gen Con and I REALLY wanted to be involved but my schedule at the time just would not let me.  I am glad I still had an opportunity to work on a custom Mighty Mugg and hopefully this way it will be helping out others.

Next stop GEN CON! I will be arriving in Indianapolis on Wednesday, so I am not sure if there will be a post on Wednesday, but I will be doing my best to post images from each day on the blog to share in the fun!
 
See you later this week at Gen Con! Until then...
