The basic spec was to incorporate a Dragon, or part of one, along with the name Mara. Also, sections of it should be able to stand alone. Here are my final Logo Images.

MARA Alliance Logo Design
I'm just throwing a few ideas together at the moment for this logo, as MARA (Mature Age Recruitment Alliance) are looking to change their current logo, & have put out the request to members to come up with the new one.

Dragon head with Border

Stand alone Mara
I don't know if these images will be chosen as the new Logo, as judging isn't until July. I will just have to wait & see, but I hope they like them. It would be a good feeling to see them in use.

Red Servitor Golem Minipet Toy
Being on a Guild Wars 2 theme at the moment, I have just finished a Papertoy based on the Red Servitor Golem Miniature, generally referred to as a Minipet. This particular Miniature is acquired through gaining a certain amount of points in your Guild Wars Hall of Monuments. A reward system for playing and achieving certain goals in the original Guild Wars.
The Golem itself is a creation of the Asura. A playable race in GW2. The Asuran's weren't playable in GW1, but they did feature as part of the Eye of the North Expansion.
I was planning to do a Charr, but as the previous post said, I was finding it difficult to get a model to look how I wanted so, did this one instead. I do like the rounded panels on this toy, it gives it a nice look.
I'm sure I'll be doing some more Guild Wars 2 related stuff soon, so keep an eye out for it. Something to keep fans busy until release.

Guild Wars 2 Charr Model options
I'm thinking about doing a custom Paper toy to look like a Charr, from the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Im sure you've heard me talk about that game before, and already worked out I'm hooked.
I haven't decided which model to use.. I have an "A" and a "B" option pictured below, but can't work out which will be best. There is also a "C" option which is start a new design. Let me know what you think.
If I don't get the Charr looking how I would like it to look, I could always do a Servitor Golem.

GW2 Desktop Pen Holder
Being all geared up ready for the world that is Guild Wars 2, I thought I'd put this out for avid fans & new players alike to have on their desk. It doesn't hold water, but pens & sweets are all good. The best thing is though, it is emblazoned with the Guild Wars 2 Logo.
Although this isn't an endorsed product, I did ask 1st, & they said "It is an acceptable use of their assets" which is awesome, as that means I can share this with you.
I personally can't wait for the game to come out. Having waited for the past 3-4 years for it's release.
I want to spend a bit of time over the next few weeks adding some projects to this blog, before I get sucked in to the expansive MMO world of Tyria. So, I hope you will enjoy this & keep an eye out for some more stuff in the coming weeks.

Digital Action Hero - T-shirt Designs
Hey everyone, I know it's been quiet on the Playing with Art front recently. I've been playing around with other designs that aren't paper toy related.
Plus with the impending release of Guild Wars 2 MMORPG, & the Beta Weekends. I've been gearing myself up for that also.
What I am working on, is an idea to create some of my own T-shirt designs, under the Label "Digital Action Hero". I thought it was a fitting name as I want to do Gaming/Urban culture related Vector designs on them.
Anyways, here is a couple of Logo's I plan to use.
If you want to Download the Illustrator CS4 file of a Blank Figure & have a go at designing an outfit for it., then you can Get it Here. Just make your outfit on the base figure, then export as .png at 75dpi. Use the Contact Tab to email me. If I get enough designs, I will start a separate blog for this venture.
Here is one I did, based on a Guild Wars 2 Necro Armor.
I will hopefully work on a Paper Toy very soon, so don't worry I haven't stopped.
Let me know what you thing to the Logo. Thanks, & see you again soon.
If you visit the Artwork Tab, there are quite a few more finished Action Hero's dressed to represent the Guild Wars 2 Professions

Magic the Gathering - Battle Station
I used to play a lot of Magic the Gathering, & have recently started buying cards again, & having a play with the new mechanics. There are certainly some interesting new things to try.
I made this "Battle Station" as i've called it, to use for myself, but as always, I will share it with you. It is basically to add a bit of graphic goodness to the piles of cards that you get during a game. Namely the Library, Graveyard & Exile. With a nice area for tokens also.
All the details are Vector work, done in Illustrator CS4. The textures were added also using illustrator but I didnt make those, I decided to use some resources from other artists, as they were much more fitting. And of course it has some papercrafting in there too.
The background of the base uses a Grunge Floral by Arghus on deviantArt.
The textures for the 3 boxes use Cracked Plaster by Good Textures on deviantArt.
and also Tower of London Stone effect by Good Textures.
Thankyou to the above artists for providing such awesome resources, making it possible for me to create the MTG Battle Station. All that is left is to get yours now.
If you build & use it in a game, take a photo & email it to me so I can post here. I would love to see it in use.

Leprechaun - St. Patricks Day Toy
I got this one finished & built by the skin of my teeth in time for St. Patricks Day. It uses the Witchdokta template & is basically a Leprechaun head, playing a bit of Ninja style in his Top hat also.
I never did a Witchdokta custom, as I did the big Genetically Altered version instead, so I thought it would be fun to use it for the Leprechaun, instead of trying to design a new form.
It has a slightly evil look to it, but those pesky Leprechauns can be mischievous. The main idea on the graphic is quite stereotypical imagery of this mythical being, but the peeking eyes add a little twist to it.

Control Freak - Custom & Blank
This is my 1st of two templates i'm adding today, & as you will notice I only added 1 post last month. The reason for this is I had to go into hospital for a Neck operation, but as they say.. The show must go on..
So, apologies for the quality of the build in the photo, my left arm is still very sore.
With all that said, let me introduce a new template to my collection & a the 1st colorway, as I would like to do more textures on this one. Control Freak is based around a Playstation remote, & ties very nicely with my Gaming hobby. It's always nice when you can combine.
I always do the test build, then make any final changes, so there will always be slight graphical changes from the photo, but they will always be improvements.
The download contains PDF's of the Custom & Blank, & also CS4 .ai of the Blank, for anyone who wants to make an illustrator custom of thier own. Please share your customs with me so I can post them on my blog. I love to see your work too.

Customisable Skateboard - Technics Turntable Custom
My own custom of the Skateboard template is long overdue, but I decided I was ready to do it some justice. When the process of the design started I thought, ok, how about a picture of a Deck (turntable) on a Deck (skateboard), & the custom came about.
Some of the artwork used is from one of my Wallpapers called Urban Inferno.
The previous Custom by Dan Watson & the Blank template are by far the most popular downloads on this blog, so fingers crossed you will enjoy this one just as much. The Blank is also available on this post, & contains a .pdf copy for hand drawn designs & a CS4 .ai for Digital customising.
The downloadable version is 10% bigger than the one used in the test build pictured above. I did this purely to make the wheels as easy as I possibly could. They do take patience. There have also been a few graphical improvements made.

Superbowl XLVI - An Unofficial Papertoy
In honor of the upcoming Superbowl 46, & the fact that I still had an un-customised Throwback template, I decided to do 2 customs, & set them head to head against each other. One for New England Patriots & another for New York Giants. Who will win the Superbowl, I have no idea, but I want to know who will get the most Downloads.
The big game is just over a week away, & I will be watching (timezone permitting) otherwise i'll have to catch a re-play.
So, time to take place in the Paperbowl, & see who will win the download championship.
