Another commission sketch, and another official Lord of the Rings Masterpieces sketch card. I’ve kept most of the cards back saving them for a special occasion to sell, and they sell very quickly. I didn’t even have time to put this on the open market!
I know blogging has been light lately, and I apologize. I am deep in drawing mode.
I also have a bunch of hardcovers I really need to ship, so it’s busy, busy here.
I have so many sketches and commissions to get out of here, I could just blog that for weeks. Maybe I will.
In the meantime, if you want something to natter about, here’s yet another article about Geek Culture and its sense of persecution and Special Snowflake status. Now they complain they’re being victimized by raging hordes of good-looking people who can’t possibly be geeks, and are therefore evil capitalist geek plants.
I’ve already expressed how I feel about this subject.
I have a load of A Distant Soil remarqued editions to ship out, and it looks like I miscalculated: I have one complete set of the hardcover limited remarqued editions left. I will not break up the set. UPDATE: SOLD
Here’s a sketch of Niniri.I’d like to touch this up a tad before I ship it out.
I’ve been experimenting with digital paintings of some of these sketches. For a look at some of the other works, CLICK HERE. If interested in the remaining remarqued edition set, please click the BOOK SHOP link for more info and inquire. SOLD.
Also, I’ve decided to make some of my sketch cards from various projects available for sale. Here is an Arwen card from the Lord of the Rings Masterpieces set. I’m not going to post everything until I am sure I will offer it for sale to discourage counterfeiting of the cards
Prices range from rock bottom $200 to $300. I have two Marvel masterpieces cards for sale now. A Storm and a Wolverine, 3/4 figure.
Yes, these are official cards, not ACEO, not aftermarket. UPDATE: Arwen is SOLD.
Wow, I don’t know what to say about this except go buy it, it’s gorgeous! Brought to you by the nice people from Black Mermaid Productions, Jozef Szekeres and Julie Ditrich, sometime guest bloggers on this site!
We’d like to take you to the fringes – the threshold – of a world known as Elf~Threaal, which is inhabited by mer-elves known as the Elf~Fin. Within the collective are smaller pods and close-knit communities who answer to themselves and also to an ancient order of beings. They swim amongst glimmerish, splash-downers, and sharps, as well as other exotic ocean creatures. They live in canyons and grottos with lush undersea gardens, and sometimes they even dare to challenge the unpredictable Open Waters.
Elf~Fin is an ongoing tale (or perhaps it’s more apt to say “tail”) comprising several comic book series, starting with an underwater love story called Hyfus & Tilaweed.
We’re releasing a limited edition of 250 for this print run. It will ONLY be available through our website and at some Australian conventions and fairs later in the year. When it’s sold out it’s sold out!
