A Message to Everyone Out There

The Sidekick Quests RPG Player's Handbook cover

As seen over at Sidekick Quests I've released the cover of my forthcoming RPG rulebook. So for you, blogwatchers, I've posted it as well. I hope you dig it.

What I look like.

This weekend I will be at Emerald City Comic Con walking the floor with my family and handing out Sidekick Quests leaflets. Without a booth or table how are you going to find me? I'll be the dude in the cool tee-shirt. 

Ask me about Sidekick Quests!

Purple Unicorn

I recently hit 500 fans on my Facebook page. Fan #499 Leslie Stewart of darlingstewie.com who lives near my home town in PA asked if she could get a prize for being fan #499. I said, "Sure, what would you like?" and she said "Purple Unicorn".

So here you go.

Bonus... I love this thing so much i think I am going to make it one of the starter faeries a Scout gets in Sidekick Quests. Thanks Leslie.

New Sidekick Quests comic

I just posted a new Sidekick Quests comic this morning. You can get a look at it here: http://sidekickquests.com/prologue-page-3/

SIDEKICK QUESTS Commission: The Joe Stroup Troop

This is the latest Sidekick Quests commission requested by GM Joe Stroup. Tonight his troop plays their final session... their last combat of Epic Tier against Tiamat. They've been together in this troop for an awesome 3 years and Joe commissioned this group shot of the level 30 characters to commemorate the end of the campaign.


The characters are (from left to right): Kildrak Stormborn the Dwarven Barbarian played by Gary (Joe's father-in-law), Kydan the Dragonborn Runepriest played by Devan (his sister-in-law's boyfriend), Hermy Blackhand the Half-Elven Paladin of The Raven Queen played by Brittany (Joe's wife), Xune the Drow Rogue played by Hayley (Joe's sister-in-law), Muffi Greasemonkey the Gnomish Artificer played by Noelle (Joe's other sister-in-law) and Bettledex the Human Wizard played by Nancy (Joe's mother-in-law).

Please join me in rooting this roleplaying family on has they end Epic and the life of Tiamat. Good luck Stroup Troop!

Now if you'd like to commission a group portrait of your troop you can do so over at the Sidekick Quests store... http://sidekickquests.com/store/

A teaser of things to come

A Very Special Commission

It has been a long while since I have posted anything on a regular basis here on the ol' Art Blog. I have new duties at work and time I have to devote to outside products has noticeably diminished. That said... I have still been taking, if not posting, Sidekick Quests' commissions. One such request turned out to be very special to me and I would like to take the time and share it with you.


Right before Christmas I was contacted by a woman named Stephanie Crews who wanted a Sidekick Quests sheet commissioned for her husband and their son for her husband's birthday. Both, I was told, were avid gamers and she really loved the idea of giving them custom RPG characters that they could use with the monsters I'd released on line in order to play together. 


I also learned that her husband was an old friend of mine and a member of several gaming troops I have run and played with in the past. Her husband, Eric Crews, was someone I hadn't heard from in years. I had moved away, both started families and we simply lost contact. This immediately made this project very special to me.


In further reading through her email I learned that Eric had suffered an accident since I had last seen him that has left him confined to a wheelchair. His wife made sure to request a character for him that spun his disability into a bonus. 


Ultimately this has been one of the most fulfilling commissions I have ever been ask to do. 


Today is Eric's birthday. Happy Birthday! I hope you like your sheets!

Sidekick Quests Commissions! The Schenk Troop!

Here is another Christmas Present commission and another group Troop Shot. Commissioned by Chris Schenk for his party (even the dead ones).

NEW COMMISSION PACKAGES AND RATES

Sidekick Quests Commissions! Rolen Clearwater

This was another Christmas present commission... requested by Leora Cohen for her husband Nathan. I haven't heard how he likes it yet... but I hope it went over big.

Sidekick Quests Commissions! The McMullan Troop

 

These commissions were all requested by Michael McMullan. He generously commissioned artwork for all of his friend's characters. He is the kind of geek friend everyone should have. Here is the troop group shot and the individual character standee pieces.  

During the past month or so I was privileged to be asked to make several commissions that would be given as gifts for the holidays. Since they were meant to be gifts I couldn't post them until after they had been given. It was one of the main motivators for creating the Advent of Evil actually. Since I was doing work but couldn't post any of it until after December I needed something to fill December up.

I'll post more 'lost' commissions throughout the week (including more commissioned by Michael oddly enough). Until then... enjoy the McMullan Troop!

Sidekick Quests Monster Desktop Background

To celebrate finishing 25 monsters in 25 days I've created a quick desktop background. It is a 300dpi jpg 1920x1200 and is free for download. Thanks for all your support. Check back here often for more Sidekick Quests details and more art.

Advent Day 25!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
