REALLY excited about this project🤩 A distinctive, colorful mecha vs. giant monster co-op card game from publisher How To Steam Broccoli.

If you're at #PAXU this weekend, go to Booth 2803 where they're demoing the prototype and tell me what you think!

It's actually supposed to be Ryloth, but I can't resist turning up the intensity on colors so it definitely feels a Tatooine-ish in that respect : )

A piece I did for Paperback 10th Anniversary Edition by designer Tim Fowers.
I got big into Frank Frazetta in art school and started reading a lot of pulp sci fi/fantasy authors like R.E. Howard as a result. The definitive Conan the Barbarian is always Frazetta's to me.

As far as things I enjoy painting, this art kinda has it all. Ridiculous pink atmosphere, nice reflective materials, electricity, glowing trees and abdominals.

So proud to be in BoardGameGeek's 10th Artist Series! 🎉

My choice was to re-imagine Power Grid, strictly for the tongue-in-cheek mid century corporate mascot potential.

For all the cards I've worked on they aim for precise actor likeness from the particular source media. Like both Alden Ehrenreich and Harrison Ford depictions of Han Solo for example. so they must go pretty hard for likeness rights!

Thank you for the kind words!

Gradually the Toriyama inspired car doodles in my Uglybook sketchbook have turned into drawings of elaborate car crashes and general destruction. It's research. 🤖🔥🦖

Eric Hibbeler @erichibbeler.bsky.social · Jan 26

I don't know why either but I'm in the same category! The appeal is inescapable. Maybe it's the childhood influence out Micro Machines and fine scale model magazines? 🤔

Thanks James!

Eric Hibbeler @erichibbeler.bsky.social · Jan 25

These days my sketchbook is an orange #uglybook I'm using paint markers in. I've been drawing a lot of little cars lately as a bit of practice for one of my current projects. Very Akira Toriyama inspired proportions here

Rose Tico art for Star Wars Unlimited Jump to Lighstpeed

Final➡️WIP➡️B/W Sketch➡️Detail -- because lately I've been into leaving these weird squiggly paint shapes that work at a distance but fall apart up close. I think they're kinda playful!
