Commission | Atlas Games Cryptid Hunt Pt 3

At the beginning of the year I was contacted by a publishing company and contracted to make all the art for an upcoming puzzle book they were making. I spent 5 months working on this, and I have so many pieces it’ll be broken up into multiple parts! This was the first half of Batch B.

Can I just say, I had no clue what the Rhinelander Hodag was before doing this commission??? It's one of those cryptids that was proven a hoax by the man who claimed it existed, and it is the funkiest lil creature I've ever seen.

The kickstarter has officially ended, and I found the link to the publishers listing, Cryptid Hunt releases for both digital and physical sale in July!

Commission | Atlas Games Cryptid Hunt Pt 7

At the beginning of last year I was contacted by a publishing company and contracted to make all the art for an upcoming puzzle book they were making. I spent 5 months working on this, and I have so many pieces it’ll be broken up into multiple parts! This was Batch D.

These were the two biggest pieces (aside from the cover) of the entire Cryptid Hunt commission contract, and that’s just because they were both two page spreads haha 😅

We’ve got a road trip map with all of the cryptids features in the book, and the title page with a cryptic note to the reader~

If you like this style and are looking for an artist to add inkwash sketches to your book, or even looking for a cover artist, my commissions are open! Feel free to DM me here on Insta, or FB, or you can contact me via email at drkmatt3rstudio@gmail.com. I have lots of price packages for standard commissions, and I offer plans and contracts for larger commissions as well!

The kickstarter has officially ended, and I found the link to the publishers listing, Cryptid Hunt releases for both digital and physical sale in July!

This was just a random idea I had. In my brain Central Jersey is the Jersey that shows the most, problem is is since CJ is so...let's go with disconnected, with the rest of the country he gets overwhelmed, and sure North could just switch in and South could do the same if they all wanted to scare the others with a southern accent that has the slang of the California coast, but watching a place that doesn't exist (it totally does btw) is way funnier.

Besides, by now all the other states that aren't the OG13 think that New Jersey has brown-looks red in certain light-eyes and it would scare the devil out of 'em if they see the red eyes that North actually has (and considering it's HIS body, it is far to tempting).

Also is it obvious that I love the idea that it's the Jersey's and not just Jersey, like I live here, if it's one singular state then I'm from Pennsylvania (I may have been born there but I sure as heaven ain't from there). Jersey would be three different states if we wanted to be associated with the rest of the country more than we already are, that and we may not agree on things but we don't HATE each other, we leave that for the rest of the country (plus let's be real, central wouldn't exist and then what would north and south argue about?)

Anyway as a proud Centralian looking at the news of the rest of the country is overwhelming, I just want to go skating, to the arcade, and continue lovin our favorite Devil, and down the shore when it's nice (and no, down don't mean literally down, though normally we are going down).
