Welcome to Dragon Press Graphics!

I am Nikki O'Shea, the creator of Dragon Press Graphics.

So what IS Dragon Press Graphics and what IS the purpose of this website?

Dragon Press Graphics is a small, home run company, intent on promoting art and comics. We do commission works, as well as personal works. We work on comics and attend conventions and use this website for the display and selling of artwork.

(best viewed on firefox - there is weird gapping on internet explorer - I'm an artist, not an html expert and I do all these pages by hand. I have no idea why this is happening)
October 11th, 2011- It's been exactly a year since I've updated this site - I'm looking into turning it over to someone right now so I don't have to worry about recoding or anything. However, since money is tight - well, we'll see how that goes.

I've been pretty busy this year - not a lot of projects, but a lot of BIG projects. Some of these projects are the kind that I really can't show any of the work I've done until its over. Some of these projects are ongoing. But in between the big projects, I have managed to get some pieces that I can show off.

CD Cover This year, I helped out Marc Gunn with another CD cover - this time, it was the first time I designed a cover for a 4 panel CD - that means the cover wraps around to the inside. That's logistically...interesting since I then had to cut off my artwork in one place and flip it around to compensate for the printing/cutting/folding that will occur. I have not YET seen this CD Cover in physical form, but I'm sure I will soon. In the meantime, here is what it looks like:

More new artwork can be found on the following pages: Outcasts Book As you can see from the gallery link above, I have also been working on my Outcasts series - it has somehow grown into 5 books, though the three original are the core. The first one is - I think - completley finished on writing, editing and formatting. I have about 3/5ths of the interior art completed for it and I want to redesign the cover completely. Thinking about changing the title up slightly as well to very simply "Dawns' Shadow". The other three books are all in various stages of completion for how much is written, but all the outlines are done for all but one. No interior works or covers have been done for the other books, but I have done artwork related to those characters to get a feel for it. I plan on doing Lulu printups for a physical copy, and quite likely E-Pubing it for the Nook (I got a Nook, I LOVE my Nook!)

Cinema 6 of Wicked North Games One of my massive long term projects right now includes this, so if you're into gaming, check out this site: Cinema6 RPG

Devoloped by Wicked North Games, of which I am part of, Cinema6 is an easily adaptable RPG system taking a lot of new ideas and incorporating them into a d6 system rather than a d20 or d10 system. I've been working on some art for them,playtesting systems and helping edit and proofread as well. The first book - and playable world - has been published this year through Kickstarter - it's called Azamar and is a really fun fantasy setting! Check out that and more products and news on the site!

About Updates: Please remember that even if I don't update this page with "Specific" Updates, that does not mean I'm not working on it. It may be that I ran out of time and later forgot to update this portion after making a change. sometimes the change is very minor, or just loading a new picture to one of the galleries.

Need to do a revamp of the gallery system. in the meantime, all my older work is still in the subgallery links, categorized by type/genre. All the more recent stuff will be lumped together by year except for where there is most obviously a lot of one specific type, than it will get its' own page. Links to remain on the front page for now, until I fix the gallery listup

I am also currently messing around with ZAZZLE stores and Printfection since I have no room for storing things like Shirts or skills for crafty items. What would you like to see?

Recap of older, important updates:

Shipping Prices- Shipping prices are no longer calculated based on the amount of money you've spent. Instead - paper items (aka prints/commissions) have no extra charge to ship .

Books - All Books will be done through Lulu.com and subject to their shipping calculations, same with items from Cafe Press.
