Fortis' guardian fighter, probably my absolute favourite.

Fortis (Latin for strong) is the defender of the realm, previously responsible for building the kingdom's fortifications. This is reflected in their asymmetric player powers that allow them to sneak fighters in and out of the positions on the board including the Citadel; which no other player can do.

The illustrator brought these fortifications to life envisioning a giant living tower that reminds me of the bosses in Shadow of the Colossus.

With AI art flooding the industry, it's more important than ever to show the process of creating art.

Human artists don't stumble upon a perfect finished piece, it starts with sketches and rough work and gradually is refined into the final results.

Luckily Vadim Mishin the very talented artist for the Crown of Ash fighters and I started working together before AI was a thing, so I could rest assured he didn't use it in his process. After over 30 unique characters and literal years of work he could produce perfect fighters in only a handful of revisions.

I wasn't always an easy client through, let me know if you'd like to see the fighters I rejected.

Another UKGE over. And this one was probably my favourite yet. Had an absolutely amazing time showing off 2 games for the first time.

Thanks to all who came by and demoed and bought Crown of Ash and those who played Cults of Bleakpyre in its first outing (in its current form) and gave valuable feedback to make the game even better!

Lino printing bags for UKGE again this year, probably not the best use of my time, but I absolutely love lino cutting so that makes up for it.

I'm about 20 bags in, only another 80 to go, it might be a long night...
