MonsterBook

More deliveries from Wizards today. This time it was ‘The Plane Below – Secret of the Elemental Chaos’. It was fun working on this book as I got to do some of my favourite monsters – the Slaad :-

Although I do think they should do evil Fruit Slaad – Blackcurrant Slaad, Banana Slaad etc.

It took quite awhile to get this drawing and inks together. Well, approximately 4 years :-

From Soft Companies Sourcebook One :-

The reason why SLA has mostly fallen by the sidelines is because my freelance commitments (and in turn rent, bills etc) get in the way.

But it’s about got to the time where I need  to put down some of my current workload, and pick up SLA Industries. This game is still my first love , and if I could do it fulltime again I would. Unfortunately, there’s not enough money to do that yet, but I do what I can, when I can. At the moment I’m sorting through the various projects. We’ve got a finished version of Soft Companies but owing to the limited art at present, I’m having to spilt the current document in two, and publish one after the other when I’ve gotten all the art done and ready for C7. I’m also trying to tie up HunterSheets Issue 2.

I didn’t want to post this topic on the game forums as it’d probably aggravate the situation further (I’m not saying that anything’s ready to release this month or next). Yes, SLA books go out on the market with all the haste of  Peter Gabriel’s albums, but it’s because I don’t want to print any old thing I’ve got lying around. I do have a vision for SLA Industries and I want to see this through in the right manner.

Getting there,

It’s always nice when Fed Ex arrives with new packages, containing books I’ve done art for. Today it was Wizards’ new Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons :-

and another parcel from Blizzard with some new World of Warcraft cards. The main set back to freelancing is you have to wait for the art to be published before you can add the material to the portfolio. In some cases you can wait over a year, or at worst, it never gets released (long story on that one). Anyway, here’s a newly published card that I did in August of last year :-
