Starting On A New Board Game

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Dennis

I am getting started on a new board game that is really going to be fun to work on. I did this piece as a sort of “warm up” to get my creative juices flowing. If you have any ideas for a fun, fantasy type scene featuring warrior animals, let me know… maybe I can work them into the mix. These games should be ready for this Christmas season and I will post more about that later on this year.

I had a few spare minutes to play last night, so I threw a little color onto a scribble from my sketchbook.

Heavy Texture

I’m scheduled to play bass at church this Sunday, so last night I thought it might be a good idea if I practiced a little bit. Our special music is a Coldplay song… I might have to ask the drummer to wake me up when it’s over because that song moves really slowww… but I digress… when I was done practicing music it was around 9:00 and I had nothing to do, so I experimented with some heavy texture on this little picture…

As you know, every year about this time I grab my sketchbook, step out into the limelight with it and if I see my shadow we all have six more weeks of winter… oh yes, every year about this time I also upload my latest sketchbook to YouTube… here it is.

I am currently waiting for a scheduled client call to take place and rather than get all involved in a different job and then have to quit midstream in that to take the call, I doodled this little picture out instead… and no, this is not supposed to be the Hobbit… but it kinda reminded me of some of the guys from the Hobbit movie… which I saw over Christmas… and immediately forgot… not that it wasn’t good, I liked it… I just cant remember it… any of it…

I play in a mens ice hockey league on Sunday nights, and this is my official Monday Morning Report on last nights game. At some point in the second period something happened, (not sure what) and I found myself on my knees, spinning around in circles and holding half a hockey stick in my hand, but not to worry… with a little hockey tape that stick can be fixed up good as new.

Last week I showed a spare time project I started on a Saturday. I showed my progress on it a few days later. One thing I have learned over the years… if I don’t finish these little side projects quick, I lose interest and they never get done… so for better or for worse, here is my completed, semi-moveable archer.

Really Buff Angels We Have Heard On High

When I was growing up, one of the things that always bugged me was the way an angel looked in a Children’s Bible… a frail little fellow walking around in his moms white bed sheet sporting a 1970’s Farrah Faucett hairdo. I had no idea what an angel actually looked like, but surely not that… which is why without proper adult supervision, my angels always turn out looking something like this.

I had a chance to work on this fellow last night. I am starting to make a little progress on getting this unruly mass of foam under control…

My ideas always work so well on the pages of my sketchbook… then reality smacks me in the face as I try to create them…

I uploaded this quick process video to my YouTube site. The only thing truly noteworthy here is that the music was written, played and produced by my youngest son, Pete.

A policeman in Orlando stopped a man that was driving around town in a car with a sheep sitting next to him in the front seat. “What are you doing with that sheep in your car?” the officer asked. “You need to take that animal to the zoo.”

The following week, the same policeman saw the same man driving around with the same sheep sitting in the front seat, but this time both of them were wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulled the guy over. “I thought I told you to take that sheep to the zoo!”

The man replied, “I did. We had such a good time were going to the beach this weekend!”

Every couple of years or so, a powerful compulsion consumes me and I am compelled to draw a comic book super hero and it always seems to be Wolverine the X Man sporting his fancy plastic yellow suit.

Breaking Bad

…so I show up at church last Sunday and our preacher is launching a brand new nine week sermon series from the book of Romans and he is using the tv show Breaking Bad as his theme. The stage has those iconic Breaking Bad green chemistry symbol things all over it and somehow Walter White… er… Heisenberg made a threatening appearance on my sermon notes.
