Butch's (non-map) art

First Post
I realized this morning that, while I've posted plenty of maps here, I've never put up any of my other art. Not like I'm a pro or anything - I don't expect anyone to come beating down my doors asking me to work for 'em! - but I thought I'd put a few pieces up to share.

These are all scans straight from my sketchbook. I mostly use a Pitt Artist's brush pen for inking; sometimes, a Uniball Vision ballpoint, and sometimes both.

These first few are from my last sketchbook, which I just finished up a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone who's picked up The Graveyard Gang should recognize Straw and the Pumpkin Queen here. I didn't get around to illustrating them for the book, but with Halloween coming on I got to thinking about them again. The Queen was colored with watercolors.

I like how the Innsmouth guys turned out on this page. I drew the Frankenstein monster for my son; that's his favorite monster. He's colored with Prismacolor markers.

Often before I start running a game, I'll sketch up a few of the characters the players are going to meet. The evil old guy, Mr. Sweaty Fatman, and the Carl Sagan-y looking fellow were all NPC's. Earring McSoulpatch there was going to be one too, but they never ran into him.

Another one done for a game; this was for a playtest session of vs. Chainsaws, a grindhouse horror game based on Phil Reed's vs. Monsters that I've been working on on-and-off for awhile now. I might color it in Photoshop some time.

And a few from my latest sketchbook.

I realized the other day that I usually end up drawing people with the same two or three expressions, so I tried branching out. Plus, zombies, Lex Luthor (not sure why I drew him) and a cute doggie cribbed from Preston Blair's animation book (which is an excellent resource, btw).

Tetsuo lifted straight from Akira (I will never cease to be amazed by Otomo), plus an Infected and someone holding a machete drawn while I was watching 28 Days Later the other day.

Once again, I'm getting in the holiday spirit! If you can't tell, I love Halloween.
