The first is a goblin throne room with the adventuring party sneaking upon the host behind pillars and stuff. Click on the thumb below to view it. The second is the same adventuring party having a party while adventuring with carion crawlers. No not really, the crawlers are trying to eat them. What’s that decanter doing in the background with the well? Get the book to find out!

A Little Mermaid of Some Sort
Another Art Jammers art jam was deigned to be about us artists jamming art on characters from one universe jammed into another universe. I thought perhaps some people would find it gratifying to see Disney’s The Little Mermaid transposed into the ending of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. Happily ever after? NO, NOT YOURS!

D6 Magazine: Down Below
Halloween, being a permanent fixture to the month of October, has inspired the upcoming issue of D6 Magazine to have horror-themed articles. The third issue of the online magazine continues to deliver articles, adventures and interviews for the Open D6 gaming community. Here is a sneak peek to illustrations I did for a horror adventure set deep under the sea, entitled Down Below. Yes! That’s a baby dumbo octopus in the bottom illustration there.

Return of the Fart Zombie
Fart zombies are back, thanks to my joining of the Art Jammers group on Facebook. Last week, the theme was the undead. Seriously… who really knows what vile gases are being produced by the innards of a shambling, undead being.

The Human Fly: Cornered

Carol Punches Bruce
Before Aidilfitri, I went down to The Gardens, a mall in the Mid Valley arcology. There I bought a Copic Ciao brush pen. When I first found it, I asked it, “Where have you been all my life?” What can I do with a brush pen? Here’s what, as illustrated with a quick sketch of Ms. Marvel and the Hulk beating the crap out of each other.

It features the most powerful wizard in the known universe, simply because he’s the only wizard in the universe. His powers are real, but are they really of a magical source?

SWD6: The Rancid Putrefaction of a Cosmic Caterwauling Cabal
Last Sunday, I ran a Star Wars RPG D6 game for the GOKL group. It started out as a one-shot, but who knows; the tale might continue another time. The Rancid Putrefaction of a Cosmic Caterwauling Cabal Episode 312: All Heaven Broke Loose Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, aboard the space station Kwenn that served as deep space commerce and transport hub, there was a Rebel cell, who sat all day for days in a spacer’s cantina named The Drunken Dewback, waiting for their first mission. Then one day the young bartender gestured them to the bar. She told them to go to Anchorhead on Tatooine where they will be given an important mission briefing. Chapter One – We’re So Starving The Rebel cell consisted of Avril Mantessa, Pew Pew and Tyvokka. Avril was a young Jedi who had been cloistered away and trained by her […]

Bare Bones Cover Process
The Bare Bones Game System published by DwD Studios – the rules-lite, role-playing game featured in the previous post – also required a cover art. I was commissioned to produce a comic-style scene of the characters in the fantasy template cards appropriating loot. Here is the step-by-step process of how the cover came to be. I start with a rough sketch of the cover in black and white, overlaid with the margin and bleed marks. The previous sketch is used as a rough pencils layout by reducing the transparency. Inks are applied on top of the pencils. In this case, I do not pencil with a lot of detail. Colours are applied under the inks. Actually by this time I’ve coloured the background, but I’ve blocked it out with a white layer so you could see the foreground colours. What does the background look like? The background looks like this – originally. […]
