I was pretty suprised when people started emailing me about prints for it soon after it was released. I guess it doesn't hurt that it has super good stats!

]]>Return to formhttp://www.vandalhigh.com/blog/2011/2/21/return-to-form.htmlAdmin2011-02-21T12:53:05ZPaintings WIPI didn't mean to stop updating my blog here. But I had to quit doing WiPtv and it was the crutch that was propping up my personal work habits every week. Basically, what happened was that I got a steady stream of magic cards to work on between October and now. So any weekend that I've had time to paint, has been dedicated to making money instead of building my personal stuff.

Since I won't get to show the cards I did for another 6 months, it might look like I've been slacking. But in truth, the practice that I've recieved doing these cards has upped my game quite a lot. You can see it in this updated WiP of "Hardbako". Which is taking on a diffinitively eastern vibe.

]]>U-stream, August 01http://www.vandalhigh.com/blog/2010/8/1/u-stream-august-01.htmlAdmin2010-08-01T19:40:10ZI didn't know what I wanted out of this piece. So I spent a lot of the time wandering around. Overall, I had fun, but I think I left this one feeling unsatisfied.

Just a fun doodle :) I'm gonna sit on this until I feel the need to work on something half finished. I'm getting ready for Gencon this week and I need to spend some time doing a little business housekeeping before I leave.

It was my very first one and I was very nervous about doing a good job. Performance anxiety is a sure fire touch of death on my art, but I got a lot of help from my wife and I managed to push through it. I'm really proud of this piece and I'm happy to start to show it off now that the book is almost in stores.

The sketch for this one was done at the boring tail end of a party and was originally for something else entirely. I only started to get interested in working on it after I added color.  As soon as I committed to using a green-purple base with some warm highlights, I realized that I might want to finish this one.

There are a lot of little tweeks that I can't wait to add to it. But first I need to get some commission work done. More after that!
