Maynard vs. Umberhulk.

Sketchcard Mini Minicomic 12

I’m having a lot of fun drawing old school paper, pencil and pen. Plus these give me something really unique to sell at shows. I have 2 coming up, soon.

Sketchcard Mini Minicomic 11

Giving Maynard some love today doing his demon slaying thing!

Sketchcard Mini Minicomic 10

These are good warmups to get me back in the swing and get my mojo back.

Sketchcard Mini Minicomic 9

Ok. Feeling pretty good drawing. I’ll keep at it. Again, so sorry for the lack of comics. Mental health issues are a bitch.

Sketchcard Mini Minicomic 8

My art block is loosening up. Still depressed, but trying. So sorry for the lack of updates. Been keeping busy with models, but I was able to draw a little today! Woo!

Early Rugnar the Grimm

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.

NPCs

Here’s the baddies for the Module I’m working on. Sorry about the lack of pages this week, I’ve been in game mode. I run the game the first time this weekend. I’m a little nervous!

Phineus Inspired art by Paul Schmitt

Here’s a couple of pieces of awesome and grizzly art, inspired by some gribblies I drew, that the lovely and talented Paul Schmitt of Gargantuan Media drew up! He made game pieces out of my game pieces!

Go check out his stuff, it’s awesome!!

Encounters for B.O.M.

Here’s the first two board setups for the session of Backwaters of Mysticism I’m running later this month. Knowing our group, we won’t get this far. Due to PCRPD (Player Character Role Play Distraction).

I’m getting pretty excited!!!

Queen of the Cold Night 16

He doesn’t LOOK 11…

Queen of the Cold Night 15

Nice way to meet someone new…

Character Sketches from Backwaters Sheets

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.

Character sheet meets tokens

So the tokens match the character sheets. I’ve also made “generic” versions of the characters, so that when they are played, the player can do what they want, despite the comic canon.

Queen of the Cold Night 14

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go, despite important exposition going on!

The Cult has stats, now!!

I’m going to do some play testing, soon, before I run this against my gaming group. It’s been a very long time since I’ve GMed a game! YEARS. Should be fun, though.

Queen of the Cold Night 13

And we’re back! My after vacation reaclimation took way too long and I got caught up in game stuff. We’re back to at least 2 weekly updates, now.

The Great Necromancer! Anyone recognize the orb he has?

Cthulhu City

As longs as I’ve played Warhammer 40k, I’ve wanted a city of terrain. And now I have one!! I downloaded files from https://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/tableros.html and built a bunch very quickly and it looks great!

The tokens are tokens for my game Backwaters of Mysticism, tokens I made of the Infected Colonies for One Page Rules (they were official for a bit, until OPR got 3d printing and lost interest in supporting 2d printed armies). The tanks and cheap but awesome Robogear tanks.

I’ll be using all this for the game I’m running next month of Backwaters. Should be fun!!

Tyrannosaurus Rex

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.

Characters Created!

Council of Phins 5

Finally!! A new comic page! “Council of Phins” has updated over at https://www.patreon.com/Phinmagic

Thanks for entertaining my creative whims. I get into moods and move where the winds of my muse take me.

Do expect more RPG stuff. It’s stuff I’ve been planning for a long, long time, but has been of the backburner. I will try to mix it better with comic pages, though.

And I won’t have another vaca for a year.

The Contessa first sketch

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.

More Figures…

The first 3 encounters and general plot of the gaming module are worked out. Gonna playtest against myself, fore unleashing it on my group. Similar to “New Girl in Town”, but extra.
