Two of the training card designs I did for the upcoming board game 'Forever Home' by @BirdwoodGames โ˜€๏ธ Fitting in various numbers and types of dog interacting with these different shapes was a fun challenge! Graphics and art direction by @gameartcreative ๐Ÿฉ

I hear Buru is getting there, can't wait to play this one :)
Buru, a game I art directed and created the graphic design for is on Kickstarter, so thought I'd share some of that work. I enjoyed creating the cards and box a lot, but the board was probably the most fun and challenge. I'll dive into that in a little detail... 1/5

The next game from Birdwood! It's another dog themed game! We gave it a different look and feel to Dog Park. Thanks to @niqvassie @brennanoonan @GregMayArtist and once again to Jack and Lottie @BirdwoodGames for inviting @byQuillsilver to help create and promote their games.
We're so thrilled to announce our next game, Forever Home: A Game of Second Chances for Shelter Dogs! ๐ŸกYou can pre-order here: birdwoodgames.com/products/fโ€ฆ

๐Ÿšจ COZY GAME ALERT ๐Ÿšจ I can safely say Mycology is the ~*~coziest~*~ game I have ever developed. It's by a first time designer who is also an ACTUAL mycologist, with a whole lot of @byQuillsilver involvement. I hope you'll check it out ๐Ÿ„

All collaborative art (inc tabletop games) should strive for this philosophy

I saw the D&D movie at an advance screening. It was fun! Patchy and a little weird (one cameo is kind of bizarre) at times, but the best bits were great. Overall I'd give it a solid 7/10 as a film fan, and an 8.5/10 as a D&D fan.

Daniel: 0/10. Not my name. Dan: 6/10. Closer. Danny: 10/10. My actual given name. Dann: 10/10. Familiar version of my given name. +1 point if any are said with a short โ€œaโ€ (its tricky for some but I know it when I hear it). Baby: 100/10 if youโ€™re @brennanoonan

The wait is over โ€” FLORENCE โšœ๏ธ is available to buy now! To celebrate, we asked our good friend @BoardgameShot to take some pics to help show it off! Here are a few of our favourites... What do you think?

Been working on a game called LORE, and I'm liking how the player boards have come up. I went for a quite abstract suite of icons for this game that feel very runic to me, where their meaning remains somewhat mysterious and open ended.

The three character traits aren't named in the game, though we could call them strength/might, speed/dexterity, magic/wits, the feel of the game is mythic and imaginative, so it felt nice to keep the icons more open to interpretation.

I wouldn't normally think to make icons "mysterious", normally I strive to make the meaning of icons very clear in their meaning or symbolism, but because this game is archetypal and familiar in so many ways, it afforded me the opportunity to play in a more whimsical space.
