Allegedly a true story...

Dee Forrest (scare actor) intensely lit with low key high contrast red light. He's dressed as the Anticardinal, upside down cross carved into his furrowed brow. Text: Anticardinal: I want to hear your confession. Guest: I am a defense attorney, I was on the Drew Peterson defense team. Anticardinal: Ooo. That's naughty. Wait Prove it... Is Drew Peterson a piece of shit? Guest: Yes. Anticardinal: It IS true!!! Ok. Off to hell with you.

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t need permission.

lack and white drawing of a man with long hair and a beard wearing a suit and tie, standing against a red background. He has an angry expression. A speech bubble near his head says, “No gods. No masters.”

I wish this was a more dramatic image. But I've decoupled Hulu from my Spotify.

Last of the five — production Tommy varied a lot from the concept, but this one still came through with strong presence. Another from the canceled Anvil 8 line I acquired, getting slapchop high-contrast prep before hitting my Etsy shop. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
Gray unpainted resin miniature of a hooded figure in ragged robes, crouched dynamically while raising a staff with mechanical details. Stands on a square base textured with grit. Ink and wash illustration of a towering post-apocalyptic warrior. Bald, with makeshift armor covered in spikes, bones, and scavenged parts. Holds a staff topped with a “One Way” street sign; heavy ink splatter emphasizes menace.

Here’s “Quinn” — hooded brawler and survivor, another mini from the canceled Anvil 8 project I now carry forward. Getting prepped for slapchop high-contrast paint before heading to my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic miniature. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
Ink and wash drawing of a rugged fighter in patchwork armor with a hooded cloak. A stitched doll hangs from their chest as a talisman. They wield a heavy club, their stance radiating defiance. Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, hooded and armored, raising a club overhead in a striking pose. Belted gear and stitched armor details are visible. The figure stands on a textured square base.

Meet “Dr. Anne” — field medic and survivalist, part of the canceled Anvil 8 line I now carry forward. Prepping her for slapchop high-contrast paint before she joins the others in my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic mini. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
nk and wash illustration of a grim-faced medic. Wearing a patched apron over gear and tools, with a large backpack and cap. She grips a tall staff in one hand. Background splattered with ink shadows. Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, posed holding a staff with both hands. Outfitted with pouches, straps, and survival gear. She stands on a textured square base with grit and scattered rocks.

Next up is “Cath” — one of the five minis I designed for Anvil 8 Games. Dual-blade armored fighter with a grim silhouette. Prepping for slapchop high-contrast paint before listing in my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic mini. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
Ink and wash illustration of a masked warrior in segmented armor. The figure wears a barred helm and holds two large jagged swords, surrounded by ink splatter that emphasizes their dark and dangerous presence. Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same armored fighter, posed dynamically with arms spread wide holding two spiked, heavy blades. The figure stands on a square textured base with grit and rocky detail.

Prepping “Heather” for #slapchop high-contrast paint—one of five minis I designed for Anvil 8 Games. Project was canceled, but I acquired the line and will be featuring them as system-agnostic figures in my Etsy shop soon. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
Ink and wash illustration of the same character. A futuristic mercenary with braided hair, high collar covering mouth, and layered tactical armor. They carry a machine pistol with suppressor, smoke and shadow effects surrounding the figure. Gray unpainted plastic miniature of a futuristic fighter with tactical gear.

Peak Cinema
Two comic panels inspired by the movie Big Trouble in Little China featuring Jack Burton, still covered in Grace Law's lip-stick. Captioned... "You know what Jack Burton always says at at time like this?" "who?" "Jack Burton!" "ME!"

He’s back—fifth sortie today. Fills his cheeks and vanishes. Each run he gets a little closer. I’ve started placing snacks nearer to me. He’s cautious, but I think I’m being trained.

Thought it might be time to revisit this piece again.

Color this time?

Early morning sketch session on the porch. Feeding squirrels, drawing monsters, and running on Rockstar instead of sleep. Nature’s loud, the deck’s creaky, and life’s alright.

Meet the team I built for @vaesen-rpg.bsky.social—equal parts séance, sermon, and street fight.

Thora Dremer (Occultist)
Father Franklin Grey (Priest)
Dagher Falk (Officer, Sightless—but not clueless)

#Vaesen #TTRPG #FolkHorror #CharacterArt #MysteryCrew
A Victorian bruiser with mutton chops like blades. Dagher is all fists and grit. He doesn’t see the Vaesen—but he believes. An older priest with white, wild hair and haunted eyes. His collar is crisp, but his soul is frayed. He recites prayers to gauge how close the veil is—if the words turn sour, something is listening. He’s a man of faith, not certainty. A stern woman with a square jaw and small round glasses peers coldly through the gloom. Dressed in rationalist gray with a high collar and choker. Occultist. Scholar.

I love @vaesen-rpg.bsky.social — easily the most charming RPG I’ve read. Here’s a Vaesen I designed: the Plague Prince.

He spins moonlight into golden baubles to lure noble daughters into his pond kingdom.

I don’t know if this counts, but in my B/X and OSE games, I let thieves wield grappling hooks as primary weapons. Nothing says “improvised, brutal, and sketchy” like swinging one into a guard’s face. 🪝

OK. I'm WAAAAAY back in the way-way-way back machine now. So old I was still on #moleskine! Talking about the #dragonhunter I did for #pistolwhippress made me dig up this early #characterdesign of the protagonist.

#characterart #grimdark #comicart #freelancelife #sketchbook #fantasyart #rpgideas
Wading through flames, a dragon slayer raises his rather heavy looking spear. He's draped in dragon skin, black fur, and metal brilliantly reflecting the white-hot flames licking his shield.

2003 (another bad year for tech) I landed a five-page grimdark dragon-hunting commission from Scott Schmidt. Best of Black Sabbath CD was on loop. Can't explain it but that's why he wears black wolf's fur.

#comicart #hailsatan #blackink #indiecomics #darkfantasy #pistolwhippress #heavymetal
Panel 1: In the haze a beleaguered knight riding his mount through the ruins of a burnt town. Panel 2: The knight's mount steers him toward a mountain. Panel 3: Our knight climbing about a million stairs, broad winding through the crags. Panel 4: The knight enters an ancient ruin carved into and built out from the rock. Panel 5: He walks down a corridor lined in stone gods. Panel 6: At last a "head shot", his helm, which covers the top half of his face only bears one eye slit. "Thirty years in the service of Lord Strathcona. Commander of the North Circle forces during the Cain Rebellion For Ten. In My Youth, A questing Knight of the Sha-Leesh Wars. I've been all over this land. And spat in the eye of every foe to have crossed my path. All but one. She spit back."

New #Gallery666 offering. This job market has me feeling like a fucking clown. Art because I couldn’t scream into the void loud enough.

What’s the weirdest self-portrait you’ve made (intentional or not)?
Drop it below. I wanna see your inner clowns.

Holding down a gas station gig while I job-hunt in software. Every time a bag roll runs out, I pocket the little PVC tube. Most folks toss them. I use them in crafting. Small rituals, small joy. Out of work, not out of ideas.
