Venus Needs Men!

This is the game for which I created art! It's not available yet, but as I understand, it will be shipping this month. You can visit the website at www.venusneedsmen.com and take a look at what it's about. I thought I'd show the box art here and a few of the roughs I did along the way.

The game seems to have a light-hearted, "pulpy" feel and during my initial communications with game-designer John Velonis I really got the feeling that this was going to be a lot of fun. And it was!

As I recall this was the progression of the main art's design, more or less. I didn't do a bit of it on paper, it was photoshop all the way through. That's also true of the many black and white cards, a few of which were seen in the previous entry.

These are just a few of the unused scraps that I found in the reject folder.

To prepare for this project I looked at a bunch of old sci-fi art and EC comics, just soaking in the pulpy goodness until my eyes could see the world only through Wally Wood colored glasses.

It was great fun and I hope it shows.

The End.

Game Art

Here are a few drawings I've done for a board game. Full story on that very soon:

Some Characters

Had a pip of a week and didn't get a whole lotta drawing done. I have a couple of things almost finished. . . but they aren't; so, I'll post these character drawings instead:

These were designed for a board game that's coming out pretty soon; I also painted the box cover, created a few more characters like this, and drew a slew of b&w cartoons for the cards used in the game. I'd point you to the website but I'm not sure if it's all ready to go yet and I haven't received permission. I'll just say that it looks pretty cool and I can't wait for it to come out.

The end.
