2025 Token Designs
The following is a collection of fan art game tokens I have produced during 2025. Most of these are available as short print run rewards on my Patreon.
Snake
#I used to do pixel art and wanted revisit that medium for a "Year of the Snake" piece. I implemented a grid to recreate the dot matrix found on older handhelds. While in the process of doing this one, the idea came up to push it further and make a recreation of the Snake mobile game as the token.
Pixel Creatures
#Continuing with pixel art, I created several retro game inspired creatures.
Pokemon Trainer Food
#I had wanted to try my hand at recreating the look and feel of the original Pokemon trading cards. This makes use of metal textures and a digitally painted Slowpoke tail.
Let's Go Racing!
#When the Aetherdrift set for Magic dropped, I wanted to go back to a model kit inspired design. Specifically I borrowed the design of the bike from Akira. While working on that one I ended up churning out a couple more in the Pilot helmet and the Gear shifter pattern speed tracker.
It wasn't a very good joke
#As an April Fool's joke I put together a joke involving a departure from making fan art tokens.
Have A Bit of Cake
#For my birthday I wanted to put together something nice and everyone was invited.
National Parks & Forests Proxy Project
#I have a larger project involving proxying basic and non basic Magic lands making use of US National Parks & Forests photography from the public domain. I also did a more in depth breakdown on the design as a collection of blog posts.
D&D Inspired Eldrazi
#I had taken a design rough from a different piece and reworked it into something inspired by classic Dungeons & Dragons rules monster manual entries.
Onamotopoeia Typography
#I played around with a purely typopgraphic based approach with the sounds that the creature would make. One of the challenges with this design was finding a good font to fit each unique sound.
RPG Menu Inspired
#With the release of the Final Fantasy Magic set, I was hoping to see more references to the classical menu styling leading me to figure why not do it myself.
