Another commission from Patron Extraordinaire, Death Tribble. A woman who has given her soul for power.
A new patron, Cowboy, also an englander came up with this tough Russian ex-tanker from WWII woken up to serve the common good in today's topsy-turvy paranormal world.
And this character is from an upcoming Burning Wheel game that I'm running. Paka's Nimbus Castillo, bastard son of House Castillo and brilliant mage. Actual Play thread has been started here, although it is more of an Actual Prep thread... as we are playing in two weeks for the first ep.

or our older WizarDru's Story Hour? You Should.
I ain't linking to Piratecat's story hour...no sir, I just won't do it. He can just get the next half-million reads on his own.
Did I mention that I have a Livejournal? It's possible that I have.
Two quickie doodles at the table of the Spirit of the Century game I was in last night. Dr. Stig was in play. Ray Ronin was not.... but a character I took an instant shine to when Judd (the GM of the SotC game that night) created just to explore chargen.... but it is such a great character, I had to doodle him up, while I was wrestling with how to approach Dr. Stig played by Jeff.
Y'all might have noticed that there haven't been any new Catspaw pages.
Unfortunately, Catspaw is going on hiatus. While I'm continuing to work on Chapter 3, we need to create a more complete website to host Catspaw. We want to have a more integrated site, possibly showing the pages a bit larger on the screen, maybe forums, blog for John C. Hocking to wax forth and of course, the inevitable merchandice. <g>
We are looking towards launching at the beginning of the year. This will give us all time to spend with our families over the holidays and give me some time to get a few pages in the can. Each Catspaw page is really a time consuming endeavor.
So, watch this space for the website address, and thank you for being patient.
Here is another musing from Death Tribble. A martial arts dragon(kin?). No wings was specified... had to be lithe and somehow feel like it could do kung fu/wuxia/ wackiness.
As requested, the Silver Wolf sketch done at the table. As well as the Tyrian mind controled Army Intelligence dudes of Area 52. The MInd Controlled MIBs was a really, really fast doodle. Just the barest hint of the Tyrian mind control helmet that Judd mentioned during play.
And I wasn't happy with Dr. Stig's sketch from earlier. Too boring. Too staid. I wanted to get some more emotion and capture more of what Jeff does at the table. So I drew this....
Before I post my latest character commission for Death Tribble, I have a unabashed promotion to talk about.
I've had the good fortune of being invited to be part of Sons of Kryos, a wonderful podcast on gaming. Link in a moment. I'm on episodes 29 and 31 so far. And announced in episode 29, Sons of Kryos has a contest. The contest is looking for Actual Play threads that includes something heard or worked in from Sons of Kryos segments. Something you've heard, thought was cool, has come up at the table. Maybe something you tried and it didn't work.
The winner gets some cool swag. Sons of Kryos dice. Dictionary of Mu. AND!!! Including a character (or scene, vehicle) commission by ME!
So, if you have listened to Sons of Kryos already, and have a thread of Actual Play to point the Sons of Kryos towards... please do. If you haven't listened to Sons of Kryos. What are you waiting for? It is a great podcast.
I love those silver age sketches. The pocket watch effect is really neat.

More goofy pulpy goodness for our Spirit of the Century game. This wee sketch was done very fast at the table. It ain't exactly a beautiful work of art. But it conveyed the character very nicely. This is Iron Giant 27 (an homage to a certain Tetsujin!)... who asked for Sanctuary at St. Patricks, then wanted to meet with our PCs...
Here is Judd's actual play threads of our game up to now.:
I just saw your website has been hacked, and now I read it here.
I just wanted to ask whether you got my mail and money (comission code: Thargad) or whether there's any problem.
I can't give you a tip for some good hosting, because I think http://www.all-inkl.com only deals with German customers. Not sure, though. I hope you'll once again be able to showcase your art online soon.
