(I’ve been too busy to post anything so I shoved Ty into my chair, faced him towards the monitor and keyboard, took the pencil out of his hand, and left him here…)
Here’s an “Artist’s Sketch Card” I drew for the upcoming Moonstone card series. This isn’t art meant to be reduced onto a card and printed many times…this is a teeny weeny itty drawing on a blank card. The dimensions are two and a half inches by three and a half inches. And here’s what’s wrong with me…when I look at it, I think I could have gotten more detail into the face if I’d had a smaller ink brush and better glasses.
Let us all say it together: Oy!
Anyway…this original is going to be a surprise for someone buying some of the upcoming Moonstone Card series. So, check your packs for this Phantom sketch card, and don’t be too disappointed when it’s in black and white, cause it’s an original.
AND DON’T SELL IT ON EBAY WHEN YOU GET IT, ya ratbags!
Ah…they probably will.
Ty the Guy
(heh…Ty’s cynicism comes from the number of times after conventions, he’s gone ego-googling to see if anyone has said anything about the workshops he does at cons, and he discovers that someone, sometimes someones, is eBaying one of Ty’s free convention sketches–even one Ty has personalized in his signing. Ty is completely resistant to the idea of charging for convention sketches–he even lectures his bootcampers about this ideal, feeling this is something he owes to his fans. But the eBay listings make him pretty cranky.)
