This may be the earliest pic of Rugnar, with his party for a medieval campaign of Backwaters of Mysticism run by game creator John Burris. I ended up porting Rugs to modern times and my Phineus comics. In this setting he was a priest of Thor and his lightning came from Clerical magics.
I was going through all my gaming stuff (mostly Backwaters of Mysticism) and I found all my old character sheets. I’ve played a LOT of RPGs. Backwaters became my different groups’ go to system. . We mixed up the worlds with we played in. Some straight up fantasy (Rugnar was my Dwarven Priest if Thor), modern, modern fantasy, some space sci fi, Super heroes, Kung Fu, westerns, etc.
I really dig a lot of the character sketches I’d done for the characters, and no one has seen them. I thought I’d share them with you guys. You may see some of these guys show up in future comics, now that I’ve rediscovered them.
I love drawing dinosaurs. Always have since I was little. T Rex is my favorite to draw, since I was little.
I am also digging taking old sketchbook sketches and digitally inking and coloring them.
Fun warm up.
This is serious old school. Like drew it in middle school in 1985. Got detention because it was stolen and ended up in the hands of my Algebra teacher, old school.
She is the product of watching Tobe Hooper’s “Life Force” at age 15. She is still an active character in my comics, as well. She’s my second oldest , current character next to Howie, who was created a few years earlier.
I was digging through gaming stuff and came up on this. Thought it was loooong gone.
Cheers.
No new comics for a few weeks as I work on preliminary sketches and designs on a couple stories. Here’s what I’m working on, this week!
I’m playing with penciling on paper, inking and coloring digitally. Mix things up a bit. I like digital art, but im trying to recapture something I lost in the transition.
I always liked drawing vampires.
