And it's a vicious rumble as nosering warrior gets blasted by giant robot who gets insulted by the wizard Max Dobo! But in the end, none can stand before the power of the giant robot, which was also the alternative cover to Mike Evans' Barbarians of the Ruined Earth. WINNER.

Random Order Comics Revisited

Way way back in 2002 I did a whole series of comic strips called Random Order Comics. I did them in this big ass 11x14 hardback sketchbook, which I only filled by about 20%. So I dragged it back out recently and started drawing new strips. For giggles.

 

Artists I Like: Hodag RPG

Another brilliant creator!

Hodag RPG! He draws, he makes funky games, he's a great guy.

His work is DIY as it comes. Crude? Yeah. Fun? Yeah. Black and white? Yeah. This is the kind of art that you would hope to find in any small scale DIY book you dig out of some weird box in some weird book store. When you find it, you squeal with joy "HODAG!!".

This week's fight was a tough one because there are two pieces here I really do love. That dwarf picture is one of my favorites! But I cannot allow the Infantry Bot to lose. He's one of my favorite drawings of all time. Very simple, but I felt great about it. Infantry Bot wins. Support the robot troops.

Hymla Again

I really love this character and I want to do something with her. A comic. But damn that's a lot of work.

Hymla was a kitchen worker in a two bit tavern with a mean boss. But she never took any shit and people kinda knew not to fuck with her too much. Then one day this weird eyeball cult starts some shit in the tavern and she ends up killing a whole lot of motherfucker, probably with a kitchen knife or cleaver.

And so began her career as a slayer and adventurer.

She's crude, rude, missing a few teeth, and fucking hot.

I played her in an AD&D game as a 7th level fighter. At least, it was an iteration of her. In that game she had a magic sword with a horn on it she could blow and give buffs to her allies. Thus "Hymla the Horn" became her nickname.

Silver Surfer

I like drawing Silver Surfer, although I never owned a single issue of his comic nor any comic in which he appears! Amazing.

Silver Surfer from a sketchbook, colored with markers.

Inked with a brush pen, of course. And a Micron.

Artists I Like: Al Pérez

Al Pérez is an artist I discovered on Instagram, where his handle is Ramone Sketch. He draws wild and wicked designs that would be at home on your arm, your skateboard, or your van. Definitely has overtones of Rick Griffin and I love it. EYEBALLS, am I right? I have fallen in love with eyeball carton characters.

Saturday Morning Art Rumble 7

RUMBLE!

Ladies and gentleworms, welcome to the DOOM SKULL DOME! Here I will select a handful of my own drawings utterly at random and rate them with little hearts. The one that gets the most hearts is the fuckin' winner. Ties are settled the same way they did it in ancient times: a d20 vs. d20 roll off.

GO!

 Oh! This fight was quick and decisive, with PX4 just annihilating the competition with laser fire and recitations from boring Kant tracts.

The clear-eyed will have noticed that this week I introduced a new feature: the smiley face. The smiley does not count towards heart count, but is only there to let you know that I find the image fun or funny in some way that isn't relevant to how good it is, in my eyes. In theory, I could have a drawing show up that gets one heart and a shitload of smileys because the drawing sucks but it's monumentally funny to me.

Have a great Saturday!
