So some old buddies of mine and myself have decided to try and produce a table-top RPG

It's going to be extremely tough to pull off with my kids working me like a 3 legged mule and the (thankfully) booked schedule of commercial work I've got loaded up, but I'm determined to make it happen.

It'll probably take a few years and its been challenging so far but it's already starting to come together.

Some of you may recall that I was trying to get a graphic novel off the ground but that's proven to be kind of impossible for now, so I'm going to bankroll some of the content from that into this game.

Being responisble for all the art - while daunting in itself - is far more feasible at the moment than writing/drawing/producing an entire novel cover to cover by myself.


Besides, gaming with them is really what started this whole journey into commercial fantasy art for me and working with them to create our own has always been the ultimate goal beneath it all; a goal I never thought I'd be able to seriously consider again.


Will it happen?

Who the hell knows.

Chasing dreams is what it's all about, though. If you fail you still learn.



Here's a rough sketch that will eventually be finished and included in the game-book.

Can't give too much away yet but I can release some teasers here and there for anyone who may care.


Thanks for all the interest and notes, I read them all and they mean so much, even moreso when you have kids to share it with.

Got a lotta commercial stuff coming out this year, can't wait to post it.


God bless and take care,

Brad

Concept Sketch: Citystate by *Cryptcrawler Captures such an intense suspenseful moment. A stunning work of art that leaves the feeling that there is a story behind it that needs to be told. ( Featured by ^alltheoriginalnames )

Whouaa ! What a fantastic atmosphere. I've had a dream since years ago and that was exactly like this scene. See a "scrrenshot" of this dream is very strange for me and... it is quite destabilizing.

This is all kinds of incredible. The amount of realism is beyond belief. I can't even comprehend the detail and the way the lighting and shadows fall so naturally. You've captured every surface texture to photographic exactness, and the fact that the tilt of the scene is just slightly off is as if it's a still-frame from a movie.
The rain is beautiful. You seldom see such realism in the individual drops like that. I'm not sure how you did it, but it's perfect. The misty atmosphere of the streets you've created here really captures how the smog settles during a heavy rain.

I'm stunned by this. Absolutely blown away.

Nicely done.
Quick question. What did you use to make the picture?
I've attempted to create work like this and heard that graphic tablets help a lot. Any advice?
