Buttonmen: Foundation

Years ago when I was selling my artwork at conventions I made a set of 6 Buttonmen to hand out and distribute for free. It was an attempt to get people into the hobby and it gave myself and close friend (now wife) something to do while we were kicking about over the long weekends.

I didn't put much thought into the set at the time but thanks to TheOrgg (also the host of the Buttonman Wiki) over at Buttonweavers I decided to give them another go and redo the artwork so that they are all nicely consistent.

You can print them and play yourself!

Tiffany - A Tribute to Buttonmen

 

Cheapass Games and James Ernest himself have always been a huge inspiration throughout my life. Learning his games at an incredibly young age I was pulled into his passionate creativity. 

Simple, affordable and sometimes even free, his games showed me that creativity should be not only fun but accessible to as many people as possible. I took this into my own art as I grew up. 

My aim with this website is to continue that same process and put up my game designs for free. The art, where appropriate, will be using the assets myself and Asha make over on the Ashen Portfolio (Our digital Daz asset art store). 

Recently I also returned to Buttonweavers the Buttonmen online fan site, where you can play the game Buttonmen along with the largest collection of characters for the game. 

Almost 8 years ago when I was there I took Tiffany under my wing in an effort to make her play every button on the site. Regretfully life happened and I drifted away from the community. However now I have returned I created my own version of her, using my Blender sculpting skills and Daz to accessorize and render, I can fully pose and customize her. It was a lot of fun.

As a happy return to my gaming passion I will leave the buttons I have designed of her here just in case anyone else wants her. They are at a playing card ratio, so should be easy to print and play!

Happy Gaming!
