In 2014 I worked a lot on the Pathfinder game setting; weapons, characters, environments, you name it.
I was also working on Game of Thrones back then, plus a bunch of other things, all this on top of my day job at Jagex.

In hindsight, yeh maybe I had too much on my plate at the same time.
Not enough to mess up deadlines, luckily (I’ve never ever been late on a deadline, actually!), but after several months of this, hell I was tired.
And to be completely honest with myself, I’m not 100% happy with all the artwork I produced during that time.

As a matter of fact, there are throngs of Illustrations I have from that period, and I’m comfortable with just a handful of them.
Oh well, experience, I guess.

Anyway, one of the expansions I worked on was Pathfinder’s Skull and Shackles.
These are some of the cards I made for it.

The rest of the work in that particular assignment falls under the “umm this might need some more love” category, whereas these weapons seemed to me good enough to post here.

I remember these flowed out quite nicely.
After all I was quite used to drawing one set of weapon after the other when I was on Runescape.

As for the rest, it appears I’m heading towards the end of this “empty the Old_Work folder” initiative.
After the very last couple of Concepts I made for Runescape, form now on it’s just new, unpublished work.
