Well, time to rebuild. Here is some new/old stuff.

The Knowledge Arcana cover.

Jdvn1 · 10th May 2006, 11:21 PM

This stuff is all new to me.

Cool.

Wow that's great. I'm so stealing that second picture and stating up a strechy ninja in Mutants and Masterminds.

Great as always. Your work looks great no matter if B&W, colored or painted like the last one.

Yes I do commissions. I charge though. Details are on my website.

Do you draw anything for liesure, or do you not have time for that?

Not really. Well, sorta, see below. Those sketches were done while at the gaming table. I have plenty of my own projects that keep me busy when I'm not doing paying work...

Folks, I know that several have been a'waitin' on their commissions. These three weeks have been a bit busy as I had weekend plans every weekend. Last weekend was my grandmother'ss 80th Bday bash in Dayton. This weekend is publicity for Actionopolis at the Motor City Con.

Actionopolis is a young adult publisher. Not comics, but illustrated novels for 12 yr. old set. If you are at the con, stop on by.

So. I've got some commissions penciled, as I've been on the road. But nothing is finished.

I just found these three doodles from me sketching during an actual game. This is for a once a month pulp game (1928) that features us players journeying to a mysterious island that the previous expedition never came back from.

We have Beatrice White, the entomologist (I think that is the right spelling). We have Dr. Jackson, archeologist and animal rights activist. Visual is very much based on a Dr. Jackson seen in some other show. And Malloy, the American mercenary who's recent adventures where in China. Robert Mitchum was the basis for Mallory. Which I drew a young R. Mitchum from memory, no reference, and I think did a credible job. My character, Percy Sullivan, son of a Colorado ranch baron has a picture, but I haven't tracked it down.

So, here they are.

**Piratecat** · 19th May 2006, 11:23 PM

I'll be yoinking those for a CoC game! Either that, or Adventure!

Very nice.

Jdvn1 · 20th May 2006, 09:49 AM

Very nice! I like the sketched look.

Stone Angel · 20th May 2006, 05:31 PM

Still freakin awesome

I think I'm sitting right across from you at the con! We're the table/stall thingy with all of the dragon drawings!

Hey, those dragon drawings are real classy!!! Nice stuff!

RedWick · 22nd May 2006, 05:29 AM

Thanks! My dad's the true artist. I just do the colors. Your stuff isn't half-bad either! ;-)

I'd've gone over and said hi, but well...
"Hi! I don't know you but I lurk on a web forum that you frequent!"
Just sounds, y'know, creepy.

I heard what you guys were doing over there and I really like the whole premise that you're working on. Getting kids to read through comics is a very admirable goal (plus, it is a market, as was pointed out by one of your compatriots, which has been fairly neglected).

Well... I woulda understood... its that kinda world now. In fact, I met some guys at MCC that do a podcast called Fistful of Comics and Games. Never met them before, but I had been listening to them for the last month or so. Had a couple of forum conversations with them. It was a blast to meet them in person.

Actionopolis is actually doing illustrated novels, not comic books. If it is a gateway to comics, that is icing... but hopefully at the bottom line, kids will want to read.

Storn · 26th May 2006, 02:13 PM

Well, lets post some more stuff up:

Here is a sketch done at the Detroit Institute of Art Museum of a bust of Duke Coismo, a contemporary of the Medici's. I think its appropriate for certain patrician d20 NPCs.

Artwork for a star wars commission.

And here is a rare commission for me, a chance to do a spaceship

**Piratecat** · 31st May 2006, 01:19 PM

That ship is great. It's interesting to see your range; the bust is very different to my eyes than some of your other work. I like how you captured the feel of the man.

Well, drawing from something that is truly in front of you always shifts my style towards the more "natural". It is very different. I agree. Good eyes!!! <g>

Okay, this guy didn't get a title from ChadR. Or I had forgotten it (more likely). But he asked for a hydrokinetic, namor-like who dresses like a romance novel character, complete with open chest and "I'm so sexy" grin. ChadR did ask for buccaneer like boots, but I couldn't make them work with the water... it looked too clunky.... so I made him barefoot. I hope you can forgive me, Chad.
