Update on things!
10 years ago
General
This journal is a bit late... I've been working on several different projects lately, so I haven't been inactive. Just inactive on here.
I've felt really guilty about that, and that's made things more difficult in a way to post things and stay in touch. I'm going to try and catch up with things, now, though.
The Nordgard card game expansion I've been working on is going to be released soon, and I'll actually be at Anthrocon this year for the release, so I'm very excited about that!
I'll post a few illustrations from the set, as teasers, and because I'm proud of them. It was an interesting challenge to try and draw characters that fit in Blotch's art style for that universe, since I am much more familiar with dragons and fantasy art, but after some feedback from Teagan on a few pieces, my art was approved. That was a really awesome experience.
I've also been working on that Nargacuga costume some more, and several parts of it are done, but not the whole things. The wings are going to work like fans, so I can open them or close them based on movement and body posture, but this whole costume has been quite a puzzle. After 3 or 4 attempts, I think I'm making progress in that area. Eventually, I'll finish the Nargacuga costume, too.
The 3D Pony print I've been working on is complete, too. I still have to pose it, and take some pictures... I'll probably upload that soon, too. Basically, that's a 3d printed ball jointed pony, with around 25 points of articulation. I think it's turned out quite well, too. I might try to sell a few at cons, some time, or I'll just make the print available for purchase on Shapeways.
I'm still working on my 3D jointed dragon model, but I'm making progress on that, too.
Over the time since I've last posted, I've built up some fun sketches, as well. Hopefully I'll finish one of those soon, and have some more dragons to upload. :D
If anyone wants to get in touch, as well, I've been relatively active on Skype. Feel free to drop me a line. I won't be around this weekend, though.
Perhaps I'll even run into some of you at the con!

Really missed your art and various projects. Glad to hear you have been doing well though!
Thanks for not poofing away forever, never to be seen again. :s
I'll be able to post results of the pony project soon, as well.
Maybe I should get in the habit of posting some WIPs some time, too...
It's good to be back.
The progress on my Nargacuga is a little slow, but I'm super proud of the head and tail, so far.
Once this is done, it'll be a lot of fun. The head looks just right, in my opinion, and the Nekomimi ears were rather fun to build in.
I'll try to put up a picture of the head some time. :)
Even at work, it's tough to find time...
But, it's better to be busy than to be bored.
