I got a chance to play Burning Wheel for the first time last night. A one shot that rocked. As usually happens, I need to put down visuals for my character and often the ones around me...and I snuck these doodles in while the spotlight wasn't on my character.
Beliefs, Instincts and Traits really make up for juicy roleplaying opportunities... hopefully, J. and Paka will share theirs for their characters... but here is mine, Orwen's:
Beliefs I am known to be a Hero and Leader of Men, but the truth is I am a coward. I fear exposure of my cowardice almost as much as pain or death.
The Mercenaries are my family. Their survival is paramount, overriding contract or honor. I want us out of the siege!
Princess Loristina is the only person who has seen some worth in me. I'm besotted. And determined to see her survive the upcoming ordeal.
Instincts: Always know where the exits are
When challenged, act arrogant, try to bluster through
Never see his own worth
Traits Arrogant
Respectful of higher rank
Gifted
Coward
Great stuff Storn! I like fantasy art better than superhero art, in general, and this stuff is pretty cool.

Hey Houston EN Worlders! Interested in Getting together? Let's meet up and have lunch or something!
This was drawn during the last Legend of 5 Rings game I was in. It meets infrequently, as its players are scattered across the east coast and Michigan. But it is one of my favorite games to play in.
This is Kitsune Aki of the Fox clan. Who is my character's betrothed. Which is a complicated mess, because my character, Tsuntake, is moving out of the Dragon clan and almost at the point of being adopted into the Unicorn clan. Tsun's mom was Unicorn, who died saving my father. I was rasied to take her place. But it means getting both my father and my "clan father" to sign off on the marriage.
War has brought the necessity for the Unicorn to call upon the Fox, especially their shugenjas. So, my clan father is not to opposed to having a marriage between me and the Fox... and my school is trained in guarding shugenjas... which I've done for the Unicorn on numerous occasions.
anyway...blah, blah, blah...wanna hear about my character? <g>

Due to a long distance move, and all kinds of upheaval in my life, I haven't been keeping up with updates on Catspaw. However, I HAVE been PRODUCING Catspaw pages and they've been quietly going up.
We are up to Page 5 of Chapter 2.
So. If you haven't stopped by Catspaw in awhile, c'mon by.
Since we are about to embark on a Cold City game, I sketched my character while having a beer in a bar. Then I inked it, cause I wanted that Noir vibe.
Here is Johnny Wolfgang, US army deserter and black marketeer.
A new Catspaw page went up today! We are up to Page 6 in Chapter 2. Things are about to get really tense as the chase for the assassin is leading to some unknown destination.
Got a chance to play Prime Time Adventures last night. Here are some quickie sketches while at the table.
The genre/setting is a post apocalyptic world where the characters are trying to revive civilization... starting with the reclamation of Manhattan and most specifically the New York Public Library.
Mutants and overgrown, unknown jungles are outside of the 14 mile rock known as Manhattan.
The show is named "Lions at the Gate", in reference to Patience and Fortitude, the two marble lions that bracket the magnificient steps of the library.
All of our characters have greek naming conventions, which sorta evolved, but is kinda cool to me.
First up is Prometheus and Medea. JF's Prometheus is the tinkerer engineer who is more loyal to his brother who stole the secret of gunpowder from our Tribe and is distributing it to cannibals, mutants and despots outside of Tribe territory.
Jd's Medea was brought up as a cannibal, but learned to read...and that saved her life when she was captured by The Tribe. She is now the teacher to The Tribe's children and the most avid researcher at the Library.
Then there is B's Rion Greenwhich, a 'slinger, as in gunslinger, the rangers of The Tribe and caretakers of the secret of Black Powder. Rion is dubious about the Library's uses (the drain of The Tribe's food, manpower and resources is high). But is tied to my character as my father was his partner...and upon my pop's death, oaths to protect me were made. Not to mention, he just got roped into being the Council of Elders voice at the Library project.
Then there is Ulysses Station, my character. He might be a descendent of "The Founder", a woman with piercing green eyes and who managed to keep the spark of learning alive, while protecting or even creating The Tribe back in the black days of yore. Ulysses has evolving psychic abilities, further connecting him to The Founder's legacy... but a legacy he is unsure that he wants to step into. Can he make a life of his own choosing?
One of our players is moving to the US in a few months, and I'm thinking about commissioning a picture of his character. I'm correct that you'd produce a digital image (.png or .jpg or whatever), and not a physical object, right? Because then there's be no need to get it done before he moves, and I could talk the group into sharing the costs
Disclaimer 1: Above all, I am a very silly man. So if a statement of mine can be construed as joke - especially if it's not funny - it likely is.
Disclaimer 2: I am also opinionated, so when not joking I am still voicing my opinion. Except when I am stating facts.

Yeah, originals are problematic for me. Sometimes, I have the barest sketch on crappy paper, not exactly the best thing to ship via mail. Other times, like the one upcoming, there is a substantial underpainting on illustration board, but when I did give the originals away, I was spending so much time running to the post office, it wasn't very profitable for me.
