Another stylish bit of ultra-violence for TPK Games upcoming module: “The Bleeding Hollow”. A fun piece to draw, and the requested pencil finish lent to the raw look in the picture, and some nice forced perspective lends to the urgency in the death that awaits the poor villager! Help support this project on Kickstarter so I can do even more classic RPG artwork for this classic in the making! KICKSTARTER for “The Bleeding Hollow”…
Some Classic Pen and Ink RPG art for the Arch Villain; Druid Werewolf, JIRAK THOOL. This is one of the two main antagonists of the new TPK game module: “The Bleeding Hollow” , which you can support right now on KICKSTARTER. I tried some new inking effects on his magic powers (the clear zones around the hands) as well as a “burlap” texture for the torn robes, I also tried to make a very rough “fur” texture on the hairy areas as well, all of these inking elements really turned out well in my opinion. Again, I cannot thank my dog, Loki, enough for posing for the legs on this guy!
Dog Like Humans Called “Gnolls”, raiding and causing problems with, Dogs. Lots of detail for this TPK games piece- 6 differently armed and armoured Gnolls and 3 attack dogs, lots of fun composition here in this pencil study that will appear in TPK Game’s- “The Bleeding Hollow”, and you can help support this game module at KICKSTARTER with a donation! One of the tricky elements of this was the Gnolls all having the non human legs, they were tricky to get used to, and I’ve never done that many in one image, but I think they really added to the unique nature of this piece by making the characters very “non-human”.
Pencil piece for the “Bleeding Hollow” Module from TPK Games- an Orge in mid transformation into a werewolf, neat stuff. I worked on the face being torn in half to full effect with the wolf coming out of the Ogre’s face as his skin tears apart for the wolf under the skin. Check out the fundraiser to make this game module at KICKSTARTER.COM and support TPK games!
This is one of the new villains for TPK’s “Bleeding Hollow” module I’m slaving away at! JIRAK THOOL: Werewolf and Evil Druid- some of the features asked for: over sized paws and claws, magic effects, ripped druid robes and a distended over-large jaw. I think I hit it right on. The legs and feet are courtesy of my dog, Loki, who modeled a bit for me to get that “dogged” look I wanted to bring to this fantastic character! You can support JIRAK THOOL on KICKSTARTER by donating some of your ill gotten gains to TPK games.
This is the final inked piece for TPK Games setting, “The Bleeding Hollow”- I used some contrasting textures to build the spaces out in 3D and I was really pleased with the folks hanging from the trees, as well as the line texture coming out from the 5 columns on the ground to the fresh grave in the middle, it was a modification on some prior line techniques I have used in the past.
Some awesome colors from Dani Kaulakis on my Ink Work for this upcoming Trade Paperback for Viper Comics!
Here is the final inks for the “Decimated Elven Party” piece for TPK games. I included my inked line phase I do after my pencils and before the elaborate shading process. Oddly, the most interesting element may be the tree in the foreground with the creature cut in half resting at the base of the roots, I liked how that turned out.
This is the final inked version of the “Ichabod Jones:Monster Hunter” Pinup for Viper Comics and Author Russell Nohelty. Really thought the Monster’s hand and forearm brought out the creepy element, also the flabby/decomposing left tricep as well really had a nice grotesque skin quality to it.
Another pencil rough for another commission piece for my friends at TPK Games. This is a landscape concept of a place for executions and general sacrifices to evil gods- you know the stuff they blamed D&D for getting kids to kill themselves in the 80’s? Well nothing beats a demonic ritual and mass execution- note the pools of vomit and excrement under the dead people hanging from the trees- technical accuracy is what makes the “evil” so damn “good”- cheers!!
