GUEST ARTIST: MICHELLE RAPP

I'm excited to share our next guest artist, Michelle Rapp! You folks probably know them better than I do. Aside from the cutest pottery, you might know them by this fantastic homage to Gustav Klimt. 

A consummate lover of books, te...

Orc Army Token

Hey all!

I've got the Or Army token ready to go. Soon you can unleash the horde!

The original is oil on canvas paper at about 6x10".

If you know some friends that would love this let them know to sign up before the end of the month.

Orc Army Thumbnail

Here's my plan for the Orc Army. It's a mess but it's all the information I need to move forward. A warlord sounding the war horn as the horde marches on to glory.

July Update

Hi everyone!

I'm getting through a bit of an insane schedule and getting back to whatever is normal I guess. Maybe a tad less insane before GenCon? 

I'm actually catching up with a ton of sketches and just shipped the Angel tier packages last week. And the Collector tier this week.

I have my next guest artist lined up. And...

My niece returns!

When I asked Kalin if she wanted to draw something for my Patreon she wanted to know what to draw. I gave her a short list and she just attacked that list and drew every option I gave her. You all get to benefit from her prolific work. 

I'll be adding some of these Mite Tokens to the random tokens. These will be a bit...

Alternate Art Myr

For this alternate version I skewed all the reds to a golden yellow-orange. A bit of an emergency droid now. Use with caution.

This will stand in for the sketch version. There was no sketch since I painted this directly from life.

1/1 Myr

Here's your upcoming Myr token all tricked out in its frame.

You'll notice the little accent above the Y. This is the Welsh word for ant. And it's a perfect name for these small automatons.

On May 2 I'm launching my next Kickstarter. It's geared towards D&D players but I've also...

Mouser Myr

I'm so excited this is painted now. I didn't think I'd have time to work on it until next month but it turns out it was entirely necessary to do. When working on projects that don't have me sitting at the easel with oils I find it really helps to work on something like this to get out the "forgot how to paint." This tends to happen to us if we s...

Myr!

I'll be painting up the silly toy for a new Myr token. 

Commander Mechanic posted about it and I just had to get one, paint it, and add it to the other wind up toy tokens I have. What a perfect find.

March of the Machines Art!

A few cards dropped in the past few days. I wanted to make sure to share the new art with you all.

The Shivan dragon is up for auction first.

Badger token complete!

Hi all,

I'm freshly back from Magic 30 Philly and hit the ground running this week. I'm excited to share the art for the Badger Wave.

I spent as much time deciding on how this guy was going to look as I did painting it. I struggle with costuming. I know it's difficult so I tend to really think about things and seek out a lot of image...

New paintings coming soon!

I've got a ton of stuff to prep for before heading out to MagicCon Philly next week. I've also been working on a fun commission that will be awesome as one or maybe two new cat tokens. 

And while that's going I'll work on a badger-themed portrait similar to the rhino token for the next wave. The cats will be after that one.

If y...

Forest Dryad

Hi all!

I'm pleased to share with you folks the final art and design for the Forest Dryad token coming to you. 

Before painting, I looked at a lot of dryad artwork out there. I wanted to push past expectations for myself. I wanted to have some fun with colors and see how I could use 2023-01-13 17:06:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Forest Dryad Sketch Card

While I'm painting away furiously at my easel I wanted to share the sketch version with you all.

I'm pretty excited to share the final, I believe I should have it for you all tomorrow. I did go to Howard Lyon's Gumroad page and got a reference pack. I picked Tessa F...

Thank You!

Thanks for another year of your support. 

I wanted to share all the fun we've had for the last year and all the tokens created that I hope you're enjoying.

While I only had 7 waves for the year there have been almost 2 new tokens per month on average to add to your collections.

I've been most exci...

infinitokens

Hey everyone,

While I was at the Salt Lake Summit I got to meet the creator of infinitokens. We had chatted previously about sharing these with you and it just worked out they had just the right amount left over from the event.

Goblin Shaman

Yesterday I shared the thumbnail and after that post I got busy.  And today I'm sharing the final art for the Goblin Shaman Token with you guys. Maybe I really wanted to paint another frog.

The original is 8 x 10 and will be available later today on Every Day Original 2022-12-01 15:15:20 +0000 UTC View Post

I mentioned previously that the artwork for the new Nightmare Horror was for a tarot deck. Well, that deck is now being Kickstarted!

Doom Counter

I'm happy to share the Sketch version of the artwork as a Doom Counter. And like most sketches, this will be exclusive to patrons and the Member Only Shop.

As soon as I cropped in the art and typed in the headline you guys were spot on with this being a great Doom Token.

Our Guest Artist will be 2022-09-01 12:09:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Nightmare Horror peak

Hi all,

Wanted to stop by to share what the next token will look like. Feels fun and just right for the type. Thanks again to the fans out there making this possible.

I'll have to look through my stuff to get sketches for the Doom Counter sketch version.

And I'll announce our Guest Artist soon.

Thanks all!!

Nightmare Horror Wave

Recently I posted this painting as part of my 100 days of fantasy paintings I’ve turned into #mtg tokens. And I asked what token would this be if it were to be a token since it hadn't been made into one. I had some great answers and I think the one that s...

Post GenCon!

Hey everyone! 

Just back from GenCon and still recovering a bit. I had my patience pushed to its limits and I think I passed the test. (Is anyone out there an art restorationist?)

Traffic was shut down on the way making a 3-hour trip almost 6. The new covid policy required a wristband that vendors had to wait in line with attend...

Dragon Treasure

The painting for this wave came about in the wild things for projects outside the customary commissions of making art for games like Magic.

I had crazy limited time to make a painting and I had a few ideas to try on this painting. First, I had just been invited to try out Midj...
