My Usagi sketch card collection

I had some time yesterday to finish my sketch card page. Unfortunately I ran out of free web space before finishing.

Anyway, just click on the link below and then Usagi’s head. That should take you to the sketch card page. Most of the names under the cards are clickable for larger scans.

What a great collection. I always enjoy seeing other artists' take on Usagi.

How long did Ken Steacy take on his piece?

Great stuff gaffey!! It's funny that you and I don't have any of the same artists. I was going to get Mike Norton and Todd Nauck last week in NYC but I missed them whenever they were doing commissioned sketches.

That Ken Steacy one is gorgeous

aw man, now I have to be jealous of Gaffey's collection of Usagi fan art as well as Colin's!

Really cool collection of artwork, and I think it would make such a great trading card set, or at least as the selling point for such a trading card set of "Images of Usagi Yojimbo" by other artists.

Out of curiousity, how large are the cards?

Also, do you plan on adding bibliographical or background info on the differant cards (i.e. when, where, and how you got the differant drawings, as well as your impressions of the artists and their reactions to your sketch requests)?

Thanks, very much, for sharing your collection with us fellow dojo members....

Abayo....

The cards are trading card size. About 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. They're actually the size seen on the main page. That's why most are only headshots.

My stories can't compare to Colin's because I set up most of them through the internet.

I don't know how long it actually took him to complete because I didn't meet him in person. I was given his contact info through a fellow art collector and set up a sketch.

Cool! It is amazing that the artists can go such a great job on such a small canvas. The amount of background and detail in some of them make it appear that the cards are much larger.

And I am still envious!

These are awesome!

Ryan Sook's one is cute, and Paul Gutierrez and Andy Smith's are also great. I like his cocky grin >:3

That was the second card I had done. I couldn't believe how detailed it was.
