I think I'll try to post some rough sketches, doodles and process notes while developing new figure sets. I have learned so much from sites like that and it's fun to share ideas and techniques.

That would be awesome. It's great to see what goes into the final work along the way.

Here are some Ronin - in- progress. I'm trying to vary the Samurai from full armor to just a kimono ... I usually start at this stage, blocking in a pose idea, usually with little reference. I try to clean things up with another pencil sketch, then it's inking. The roughs are often done all in one or two sittings. I usually come up with 8-15 ideas at once. Then I narrow those down (or flesh them out) to get a 'set'. Attachments:

Sneak preview of a very super secret project (worst kept secret). Attachments:

I like the female Ronin. It's not traditional, but it's something you would see in gaming and anime.

Yeah, I agree, although it isn't historically accurate, female ronin are a staple if ninja revenge films and RPGs.

Just sorting out the release schedule for the end of this year and the start of 2012. For this year I'm looking forward to the release of Serene Fist 4: Katana Schoolgirls vs Zombie Furries (including free minigame) for November. Also for November release will be Beasts and Barbarians Set One: Adventurers. December will see two releases as well, One for Darkfast and another for the Whiplash Trigger Line. January will see a focus on Historical Fantasy with a Monastery Assault playset and a Late Picts set for Dark Age of Adventure. There will also be a release for the Retro Space Line and another for Darkfast early in the new year. Hopefully the Minigame included with Serene Fist 4 will pave the way for a free skirmish system (tentatively entitled the Okumarts Skirmish System). I will be including free card downloads for all existing sets and then releasing some other minigames, scenarios and roleplaying games as the year progresses. This has been an exciting half year for Okumarts Games. I'm really looking forward to the next six months and beyond.

I'm really hoping to get on these as soon as possible. I have a few Picts drawn and ready to roll, but I want to get the set finished quickly.

Most designers out there go for the ultra-fantasy bare mid-rift armored warriors complete with spiky armor. I prefer the very old school dark age figures. So I am so glad you are making these figures. Well worth it.

Ok.. I figure I should put some design work in here. This is an Invader Mech for Retro Space I'm working on.

This particular version has been lost to the ages, but I think some rampaging robots would be fun to build.
