Over the coming weeks I'll be posting pieces rarely seen anywhere- artworks I did for a promising and ill-fated project called 'Warlords, The Trading Card Game'. Based on the strategy game franchise for the PC, it was to rival 'Magic: The Gathering', and make yours truly a star. Well, I assumed so anyway; when you're young, you always do.
Alas, due to a catastrophic error in production of the cards (which would be foolish, and possibly legally actionable to recount), the game never saw wide release, and consequently never found an audience. A real shame, because it was one hell of a good game.
All of the works are acrylic gouache on art board. When these were done, I didn't even own a computer.
Yeeeessss... It was the dark age of the 20th century, when Star Wars was still good, furries didn't exist, and CGI was the domain of wealthy hollywood artisans- well beyond the reach of the average house-bound schmo.
I had a blast doing these, it's about time somebody actually saw them.
Hang on to your dreams- even when they drag you through shit n' broken glass-
hang the fuck on.
