What’s Up?
Sep 25th, 2007 by Carde
Hello there!
Welcome to my tiny slice of the world wide web, a place where you will find my meager attempts at art.
I have taken an art class or two in college and did, in fact, take one live model art class at Carnegie Mellon during the summer of my Junior year in High School, but beyond that I have tried to learn as much as I can from other artists who share their work online and through books. Most of the stuff you’ll find here on the site is related to gaming in some form or fashion. It’s been fun, over the years, to try and bring other people’s role playing characters come to life with pad and pencil. This Wordpress driven site has taken over as my main site, now that I have found a good way to include picture galleries, but you can still see some additional stuff over at www.waysoftheworld.net as well. They are far from perfect, but I had fun drawing the sketches and other art work you see on this site, so I hope you have fun viewing them. Take care!

Here listed are various requested and commissioned art projects I am currently working on. It is by no means all inclusive, but gives a good idea on what’s on the forefront of my plate. The listed order is not necessarily the order in which the pieces will be completed. Sketches and random works not included here.
The Queue (as of 08-03-2008)
- Large Dragon Battle scene (I know. It breaks my heart that I still list it here instead of under the Gallery section)
- Ultima Online -Desktop Calendar 2008 (Under Development)
- Character development/sketches for comic book
- Commissioned Portrait

Hello, Carde!
You probably wont’ remember me from the old UO days, but I played Sagan Adai, of whom you did a beautiful sketch. I’d like to ask you about potentially doing a commission piece for me as a present for my wife of her LOTRO character. Please email me so we can talk.
Thanks, and it’s so good to see you are still doing this artwork. I’ve always thought it was fantastic!
Best regards,
Rich
Heya Rich! I do indeed remember you. What I don’t do well is keep up with the comments on this little blog of mine. Look for an email from me after I get back home from work today. And thanks for stopping by!
Hey Carde,
I don’t think you remember me; I am a friend of Heracles (Marty) and was wondering if I could commission you to do a fantasy map (LOTR type) for me? Would you mind emailing me so that I can tell you a bit more about the details? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Azy
