I am Luke Parnell, I play and design board and card games. I have been a professional artist for 20 years, avid hiker and northerner.
While this space will centre on board game design I will also show my art practice.

This game is called War Canoe, formally Oolicon City. It’s an hand building, action selection, combo, order fulfillment, area majority with end game scoring race game. I’m going to play test this new iteration based on past play tests.

Day 31, mask, Cardtober is done! I brainstormed card art for 3 Ravenz card game. There are 40 cards to do, but this was a good exercise. I’m feeling confident, tho there is still a lot of work to do as these will be full colour illustrations.

Day 28, bowl study, this one is my favourite and I wanted to work with this design. There is a lot of cross hatching, which is something I don’t use often.

Day 27, bowl study, I have to admit it’s hard not to add my own flare to these studies, I’m trying to replicate every line, to understand it. I usually do these sorts of things in private, because it’s not so original, it’s learning.

Day 26, bowl study, I like copying old pieces to try and get in the head of the ancestor artist, I think about why they made the decisions they made. I can tell these old sketches are for sculpture, I can see the lines in 3 dimensional design.

I played Blood on the Clock Tower tonight, I was the recluse (which is basically my life). Meh, it wasn’t for me, we had 12 people so it was a full game, but accusing people, being accused, it wasn’t my jam.

Day 22, I’m trying out a few things with this mini-series, I’m thinking this art may be on the number one cards, they are a bit different than the others.
