A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Got art?

Well, I bought a drawing tablet a week ago and have started doodling, something I haven't done since Junior High (~ two decades ago) so be nice!

Enjoy!

Thanks! I want to do a full image of Stitch at some point, but I'm not sure yet how much of a role he'll play in the Chimera pbp game.

Here's the "sketchy" version of Stitch for posterity's sake!

I was reading some notes on a game I ran a while back, my first BASH game actually. One of the key NPCs was a flawed, but beautiful girl who helped out the lost hero and helped him to understand what he was (it was roughly a Changeling the Lost game using BASH).

The side of her face was supposed to be cracked like old porcelain, but I'm too much a coward this morning to take her picture any further, so I'll drop it here for now.

Thanks Boost, I appreciate that!

Here's another one I knocked out this afternoon. I was actually playing with a photo of a fire I'd taken and when I took the negative I thought it looked like someone's in the fire.

So, a couple hours of learning how to draw fire and then put in some human features, I came up with Nycto's first change! (Nycto is a character played by Protheuz in our Chimera pbp game fyi).

I had a hard time trying to figure out how you color a guy who's just turned into a living shadow and couldn't come up with a simple background, so I left it alone.

Very cool.
If your skills keep improving this way, you'll end up drawing the entire team.

A bad guy's bad guy, Angel Ramirez, aka The Angel of Death. Angel is a suave, cold, professional killer. He also has some strange payment requests, like his employer's soul...

Here's one of the illustrations I've done for the upcoming BAM villain article. Hopefully they like it, had a heck of a time getting the pose just how I wanted it but I like how it turned out.

Enjoy!

Thanks Walt! I've had fun doing some challenging poses (for me at least).

Here's one that I screwed up on (didn't read the player description very carefully) but I still like how he turned out.

Enjoy!

That image merits a Villain of its own.

Thanks guys. A grue, huh? It was supposed to be a sasquatch type critter, but I came up with something more "feline". *, maybe it'll become Fenris one day :) Oh well, gotta redo him.

Once I knock out the last of the BAM villains, I think I'll work on the Chimera heroes. I'm having a blast doing these!
