2017 Xenofera Art Progress Update

Its been a while since I last posted anything, on Xenofera, I got so wrapped up in getting the art done I’ve kind of procrastinated with updates. I think in total there are around 120 separate illustrations for the game, plus layout, Icons and typography. It’s been quite the learning experience and took a very focused work ethic, and I think I’ve had 2 days off in the last 3 months but I’m excited to see the finished results.

Above are some of the crew members that help you on your expedition, I’m trying to keep a fun, retro 50s science fiction vibe to it.

I’ve managed to get all the creatures done in the end we ended up with a total 52 species of Xenofera, from 6 different planets.  Below are two of the larger carnivores the Nymphadrax and a Cerabus in their natural habitat.

Here are 2 of the 12 Huntsmen that can lead your expedition, they are all unique and each have their own play style. Thanks for checking this out, I’ll try not to wait so long until the next update.

Battletech:Warhammer/ Xenofera Kickstarter

 In the suburban outskirts of an industrial city world two merchandised titans go toe to toe, as the battle rages in the distance.  In the foreground the Merc warhammer makes quick work of the lightly armored grasshopper as it desperately weaves between modular domiciles. This was done about a year ago and the medium was digital.

On a different note Xenofera is off to a good start, not even a week and we already have 1/2 our funding. If you would like to check it out here is a link,

To the left you  will witness the hairless sheep in the Undulating Mountains of Prairie, which serve as a refuge from the pursuits of the vicious cownivore. To the right this is a wandering pink faerie   armidillo scouring the vast lava bed wastes on the toxic planet of Barren.
These are just a few of the creatures you may come across and be able to capture for your space zoo in the in the game Xenofera.  Below is a chart of some of the bonus creatures that backers can vote on to include in the Xenofera starter box set. However if we can get the project funded by Thursday, you won't have to vote because they will all be included!  

Gencon 2016 Play Testing

I’ve been slacking on keeping the blog updated, I’ve been getting ready for Gencon partially because of the new card game Xenofera, but mostly because I’ve been sharpening up my X-wing skills.

 

 Above is a rudimentary creature card, I’ll be posting more art after I get back from gencon

If you are attending Gencon 2016 or around the Indianapolis region this weekend feel free to stop by and join us for a play testing of Xenofera!

Xenofera is a dynamic 2-5-person card game where players compete to see who can collect the most exotic cosmic zoo. Players must recruit an expedition team; acquire the gear needed for a galactic safari, then set out for the wildest hunt in the galaxy.

Xenofera will be going live on Kick Starter at the end of September, more details will be coming soon….. 

Warhammer 40k Art

I’ve been pretty bad over the last few years posting projects I’ve been working on, so I’m playing catch up right now. These are some pieces I did for Warhammer 40k Conquest from some of the Tyranid and Necron expansions.

Below are some progress shots of my current project Xenofera, which is a enterprise I'm am working on with a game designer I met at a recent convention.  I'm currently trying to get the layout of all the cards squared away. Its kind of cool getting to figure out the layout and design for an entire set of cards, I just hope it comes out ok when they are printed, I’m kind of new to this.

This is the official seal for the Royal Society of Xenofera Huntsman, this is going on the card backs.

Next update I will post some of the finished card designs!
