Not games related, but I want to post this here:

“Voltaire’s long awaited children’s book: The Legend of Candy Claws, is now in the home stretch and ready for pre-orders! In this lovely Christmas tale about the evils of bullying , a giant gargoyle steals candy from naughty children on Halloween and delivers them to good little boys and girls on Christmas day. Over thirty full-page illustrations by the incredibly talented Shamine King accompany this charming rhyming tale.”

Yes, you read right. After almost a year of work, Voltaire’s The Legend of Candy Claws’ is finally in print and available for pre-order, and I illustrated the whole thing. One of my inspirations, it was an honour (and very tiring!!) to work on this project, and I’m excited to see it finally come to fruition.

If you are interested in getting your hands on a copy, you can pre-order the book here. They should get to you before Christmas. :)

Reblogging here too. If you’ve wanted to get your hands on my artwork in printed form, this is one way to do it.

Inktober!

In lieu of not having done anything in the spirit of Inktober (yay real life) I present to thee mine ugly mug with my newest ink. Unfortunately the lines alone took all of almost five hours to complete so there was no time for shading. I was also in agonizing pain such that I have never experienced before–just look at that shiner the needle left on my collarbone holy damn. I wanted to cry and/or scream and/or die; in retrospect “PAIN” was the perfect choice of words for that rocket.

No telling when I’ll be able to get the colours finished, as my sister does all my tattoos and she is moving to Canada soon–a full twenty hours and $1,800++++ away. I miss her already. :(

Have a safe flight sis, and good luck. Thank you for putting up with my bitching and whining and sobbing and twitching and thrashing for the whole afternoon. He’s healing like a treat.
