July Roadmap ...and the NEW SKETCHBOOK! (Patreon)

Welcome to July! BIG NEWS FIRST: Our Sketchbooks are FINALLY here!

They will be going live Tuesday July 6th, at 10AM EST. However, all Patrons will get early access to the link at 9AM EST! These are not pre-orders, we are shipping them out right away. 

This year's bonus items for everyone who orders in July will be mini-prints of the color versions of the monsters. There is also a set of 6"x8" color plates that will accompany the book. As is tradition we will offer 50 Limited Editions with sketches in them ...and then a little something extra special this year:

The EXTRA FINE Edition, which will include a 3D MINI of the Mustard Knight!

This will be extremely limited. Just 10 will be made available right now. They are unpainted, and were sculpted by Zephren Varner. 

I will be sharing a live preview of my book as well as Annie's new book on this Saturday's stream. 

Wednesday the 8th will be #LETSDRAWMONSTERS and we will be doing something a little different in celebration of the launch. Stay tuned for that. And one other announcement in advance: August we will be in 3D! 

Fanstratics this month will be a Lich which we will be live-streaming on Twitch later on in the month. Last month's Fanstratics character was the Forest Dragon:

The Monster of the Month this month will also be slightly different. For June we will be sharing all 50 of the limited edition sketches of the monsters here, and if possible, colorizing one of these as our monster for the month. We will also be doing a few livestreams where we draw these and will be taking requests from the chat as we design them.

The Classic Fantasy Image rewards this month will feature more work from the Faerie Queene! Expect to see the hi-res color images for Duessa on her Seven-headed beast, and of The Red Cross Knight and his battle with the Dragon along with a lot of new drawings and sketches.
