Creating a Portfolio

KublaCon has come and gone, and I had a great time :-)
Tho we did not win, we walked away with nice compliments and good reviews to better our game, "3 Tours of War".
There are a few rules that we plan to retouch-up, and then try our luck @ submitting the game to a publisher to license.

Me and Gil are currently in the slow process of creating an eye-catching game portfolio. I personally am currently juggling my work, my hobby, and my recent engagement to my lovely fiance Stace-Kay :-)

So, my part as amateur board game designer has slowed down, but I am still slowly working on expansions for 3 T.O.W., finishing Peg-O Brawlers, and starting a racing game I am calling Pocket Racers.

I have also recently been playing a lot with my perler beads, and I am considering making this:


This image was made using Excel and it is a Mini travel size edition of 3 T.O.W.
It is also the first expansion titled "Veterans" and has a dessert theme to it.
I have been working on this during my spare time and it will be made completely out of perler beads including the game pieces (but not the dice or cards :-P). I am really trying to keep it a travel size edition as the board is easily collapsible into 9 squares; and much smaller than the canvas board I used for the first one. But I am having trouble coming up with a good small icon I can make out of perler beads to represent the players. I am currently considering helmets, dog tags, or weaponry of choice standing upright. If you have any suggestions feel free to drop me a comment :-)
