This is my final entry in ICE’s (Iron Crown Enterprises) Crypt Map Contest. Pictured is the cover and some interior spreads. This is the final Crypt Map PDF, click to download it. Information on the contest can be found in the ICE’s web site – ICE web site.

My final entry into the Temple Map Contest had a runners up prize and I’ve taken a different tack with this entry, I’ve made it a lot smaller in scale which meant it didn’t hit the 2GB max file size for 1 file and working on it was a whole lot quicker!

Have a look at my Sketchpad for more images and the process I went through.

Graphic Basics is going to be a Photoshop training video podcast initially and once it’s established, Adobe’s other programs – Illustrator and InDesign – will be featured

I look forward to sharing the coming episodes with you!

Here’s the rough digital painting I did for the cover as well as the intro spread to the PDF where I’d dropped in some of my biro sketches.

My entry was a runner-up. The PDF map included a ‘Master the Map©’ feature which allowed you to select one of the three options – the ground floor, the first floor or the secret locations – and the pages would update within the PDF overlaying the base image of the Temple which allows you to show a lot or a little leaving the choices up to you.

ICE are going to be doing more Map contests and I’ll include my future entries on this site – the next one is a Crypt Map.

In the meantime, they’re running a different contest concurrently; it’s a Chimera Creature creation. I’ll add some of my early versions next. :)

Iron Crown Enterprises are the creator of the Rolemaster, Spacemaster and Harp roleplay rule sets.

This Brochure was specifically for their Cilgeran location.

…and this was their Membership Brochure

…and this one was targeted for Small Businesses

…some posters

…also, I designed their site too!

There was a significant amount of help from Melissa John of Dazzling Props

This one was for the Welsh Tourism site

These are but the 2 initial creatures. Hardly bone chillingly fearsome until you realise that the Lick is 10′ tall! 8O

As for the Wabbit, his bite is certainly bigger than it’s bark!

The Licken (Lizard & Chicken)

The Wabbit (Wolf & Hare)

This is the first of many hopefully and will form the basis of my art portfolio site (not to be confused with my graphic design portfolio site – CJ Productions)

What do you think?

Everything seems to be on hold at the moment though thanks to plenty of cluster headaches and migraines! I’m starting to get VERY annoyed at them now as if the pain wasn’t enough!

Everything will be progressing very slowly and I’ve only just replaced the standard Wordpress default post after a month. I do have some little doodles to add to the new Sketchpad site and with luck, I’ll get to post some things soon.

Until then, I’m taking more tablets!
