I have no idea how the design process worked on the show but I want to believe the designers just got slips of paper with nothing but phrases like "snake with legs" and "hungry pig."
I got dangerously close to this one without even knowing it🫣 I'm glad I went with the extra pointy icicle elements to help differentiate it, and the bombs of course. I can only dream of having the unstoppable incentiveness of those character designers. They're just the best
This is all art made for the cooperative card game Alpha Team Mechanized Battle Force Go!
Their names are Gridlock and Abombinable, of course.
You should really check this project out on Kickstarter right now.

A giant, electrified, mechanical monster wearing rollerblades smashes through cars on a freeway.
A giant ice-themed monkey holding cartoonish explosives stands atop two trains as a bridge explodes behind it.
I learned two monster design principles from studying Super Sentai/Power Rangers.
1. Give them rollerblades.
2. Make most of their body a face.
Another GRWL design for Alpha Team. 🤖💜
Very much inspired by the kinds of plastic color combos of the mecha toys I grew up playing with. I'm looking at you Exo Squad.

Thank youuu! My process was to just keep drawing until the desire to have them as actual action figures was almost painful. xD
These are my initial concept sketches for the Yellow and Green GRWLs- the yellow one came together immediately but the green one took a loooot of iteration and me studying exactly how to render that translucent green lego plastic look💚
Designing the GRWLs for Alpha Team was SO much fun.🤖 They are all my favorite but these two are my most favorite.
Back it on Kickstarter NOW!⤵️ 🎉🎉

This is what a dream project reference board looks like to me. Translucent plastics and cityscapes with giant robots and cute cars.
Alpha Team is on Kickstarter NOW!! So proud of the work we did on this true co-op cardgame, check it out!⤵️
If you want to see what it looks like when I'm having too much fun on a project, this is basically it. Inner child Eric had a great time with this one.

So... its finally happened. The game that I have been working on the past couple of years is finally live on Kickstarter.
It's been a crazy journey to this point and appreciate everyone who has supported me on this.

😎 Thanks for reppin my work, Allan!😁
well would ya lookie there, some of my #Crashlands2 key artwork showing up at #WWDC2025! Thanks for having me back to work with y'all again @bscotch.net !
It's actually supposed to be Ryloth, but I can't resist turning up the intensity on colors so it definitely feels a Tatooine-ish in that respect : )
Wow💖 Thank you Kaydee, that's incredibly generous and kind of you : ) Thanks for taking the time to say so!
Yesss this is wonderful 🤌
Thank you so much! I definitely feel like I'm at my best with a limited palette like this : )
It's extremely clever! love all the new art they added to the anniversary edition too! Great work from a great assortment folks.

A piece I did for Paperback 10th Anniversary Edition by designer Tim Fowers.
I got big into Frank Frazetta in art school and started reading a lot of pulp sci fi/fantasy authors like R.E. Howard as a result. The definitive Conan the Barbarian is always Frazetta's to me.

As far as things I enjoy painting, this art kinda has it all. Ridiculous pink atmosphere, nice reflective materials, electricity, glowing trees and abdominals.

So proud to be in BoardGameGeek's 10th Artist Series! 🎉
My choice was to re-imagine Power Grid, strictly for the tongue-in-cheek mid century corporate mascot potential.

For all the cards I've worked on they aim for precise actor likeness from the particular source media. Like both Alden Ehrenreich and Harrison Ford depictions of Han Solo for example. so they must go pretty hard for likeness rights!
