oshihidra: Haha, I LOVED that game when it came out! Anyway I bet fans would love to read about the Medici, since there’s probably more blood and violence in their actual history than Assassin’s Creed itself. People getting surprise assassinated in church on Easter Sunday, one brother dying and the other barely escaping with his life, only to exact murderous revenge on the entire...
thevargolab: It might seem only to be that way at first, but when you look at Machiavelli’s personal history from the time, really “The Prince” seems to have been written solely to get in good with the Medici. At the time he wrote it, Machiavelli was living in exile, after a failed attempt to keep the Medici from returning to Florence and taking power. He fought violently...
The Medici Legacy
I’ve been fascinated by the Medici family since the first word I read about them in my first Art History class. I don’t know why, but I have a strange affinity for the whole family, an almost unearthly obsession. I have just loads and loads of books about them that I’ve collected. If I were the type to believe in reincarnation (which I adamantly don’t), I would believe...
Portfolio Stuff #4
Just doing some badly-needed updates to my portfolio. I had a fan ask me once how often an artist should update their portfolio and I said that one of my professors at SCAD taught me a good rule of thumb…any pieces in your portfolio that are over three years old should be removed, because they no longer reflect your absolute most current level of expertise. Any piece that you feel could be...

credit card emails
hm2lewis: I just saw your comment and forwarded to my contact at RightStuf. Don’t answer any emails, as it may be a phishing scam. better safe than sorry, anyway. I will let you know when I hear back!

Since it’s nearly impossible to find, Clint Krause (the writer for the Bizenghast role-playing adventure game manual) and I decided to make the book available in PDF form, free to fans. This is the final PDF proof from just before the book went to print, so absolutely everything that was in the hard copy is in here.

The Bizenghast Role-Play Adventure Game!
So I was talking with Clint Krause, the fellow who produced the original Bizenghast Adventure Game, which was a role-playing manual set in the Bizenghast universe, published in 2008 by TOKYOPOP.
It had a very limited run and is damn-near impossible to find nowadays (the only copy I’ve ever personally seen is the one I own!), so I asked Clint if he could hunt around for the original...
berrycastle asked: I know you posted a while back that Bizenghast 8 would be out in April and that you're currently super busy creating new awesome with your new project but when and where can I buy the final Bizenghast!? I'm worried it'll be released and I won't know, and they'll be all gone and I'll be sad. That is all.
