Some of the super hard-cores might recall that a few years back I was floating around the idea of making a game called Alexander. It’s basically a historical fiction version of Shining Force, with Greek mythology instead of the typical fantasy tropes. The project, like many others, has fallen in ‘permanently stalled’, but every once in a while I still do a bit of artwork. If you’re familiar with these types of games, the artwork should conjure up a few memories.

Bible Stories Original Cover
This is the inked version of the Bible Stories book cover. You may have noticed there is something profoundly wrong with my face. Well, I was having some trouble completing the drawing, and I thought forcing myself to ink it permanently would give me the gravitas to get it done. Instead, I end up with Duck-Face Jake, with the eye that ain’t right.
I had to fix it in post, but this massive drawing (which belongs to a member of the 300 now) comes complete with my massive fuck-up. I thought I would share it now before I try to convince Scott to destroy this monstrosity forever!
The Essentials DVD: Napoleon Art
For those of you who haven’t purchased The Essentials DVD (which is just about everyone), then you didn’t see this funny visual gag on the DVD itself. Guess what arrogant jackass drew himself as Napoleon for the painting in the background? This guy!
Fightlinker Jackal Logo 2.0
I was never truly satisfied with the original ‘Fightlinker Jackal‘ because it was rushed and the proportions were all over the place. Worse still, it was done sloppily using Illustrator, and if you tried to change its size, it would fuck up. Enter the second Jackal logo I made, almost universally hated by all the fans who preferred the old one. I’ll let you chose which one you think is cooler.
Light and Motion Postcard #1
When Carisa and I were a couple, I would help her with a circus arts festival she called Light and Motion. This was a postcard ad I designed that also functioned as a ‘passport’. Unfortunately, no one used it for the intended purpose and it ended up being prohibitively expensive. Also, there were a bunch of spelling mistakes, typical Jake stuff.
Now renamed Prop Fest, it since has become a bi-annual festival. If you look hard enough, you can find me on their website.
