Leopard Women of Venus

I did some art for this DCC RPG-compatible game that's currently on Kickstarter, so please check it out! The previous version was for QUAGS (Quick Ass Game System). The setting is inspired artist Fletcher Hanks (1889-1976).

Here's a comic panel by Fletcher Hanks!

Some of my art for the book.

Black Pudding Heavy Helping Vol. One... Still Alive!

Never hurts to promote your work now and then...

Black Pudding Heavy Helping Vol. One is a re-organized, slightly re-mixed hardcover collection of the first four issues of my OSR-style RPG gaming zine Black Pudding. It's heavy on style and cartoony fantasy art with plenty of game-ready stuff like character classes, monsters, spellbooks, and ready-to-roll dungeons!

Luchadors!
Catgirls!
Hoard Horrors!
Whispering Vaults!
Sinewy Barbarians!
A Goblin!

With some nice contributions here-and-there from people such as Matt Hildebrand, Karl Stjernberg, Jayne Praxis, and Ed Heil!

The hardback book is a mere pittance at $18 and if you're cheap or you don't do paper then you can get a PDF for a trifle $6. You cannot fail in this adventure. But if you do, there's a random table to find out what the monster does with your ruined corpse.

Get yours while supplies last!

Weird Landscape for Barbarians of the Ruined Earth

Here's a bit of art I did for Mike Evans' Barbarians of the Ruined Earth. There's more to come. This book is gonna be stuffed with art! Not just mine, but lots of others such as Matt Hildebrand, David Lewis Johnson, Fred Dailey, Kelvin Green, and Matt Adams. Lovely stuff.

Zoot!

Just a space doodle.

Supercalla Cover Art

As I said once or twice, I'm writing a Troika! space fantasy setting. At first it was to be called Zoa, which is kind of a larger broader title. Then I went with Hellion Cross, to focus on one little region. Then I shifted a bit and now it's a space highway called the Supercalla. Hellion Cross, being a large location on the highway, may get its own book later.

Anyhow... here's the cover art! I really loved drawing this one. It's one of those examples of an idea popping into your head fully formed and then falling down on the page without much effort. And I like that.

Witchy

Pin-Up Devil Girl

A little classic pin-up action. Devil girls are the bomb.

Armorhawk

For the upcoming Troika! setting, here is background 22...

Armorhawk

Fly twice as fast and twice as far by doffing armor (takes 1 minute; 5 minutes to don).

Troika! Musings... How Much is Too Much?

Armorhawk

I'm still working on a Troika! setting book in the sci-fantasy aesthetic (very fitting to the game!). I finished the d66 table of backgrounds several weeks ago - the meat of any good Troika! setting. But I've been tweaking it here and there. I've replaced a few as better ideas emerge. Sometimes though it's very hard to make a choice because now I'm down to the point where all of them are near and dear.

I guess I could do two d66 tables. Or just do another book after this one. My inclination is to keep it simple and short because I feel like that's the great strength of this game. You start with some seeds and see what grows. Too many seeds might be untenable.

Barbarians of the Ruined Earth Alternate Cover

Here is my finished alternate cover for Mike Evans' Barbarians of the Ruined Earth (check out the Kickstarter).

I'm happy with this. I wanted a comic book vibe with action and spectacle and I think I pulled it off. I'm not sure why the giant robot is spitting liquid fire but I thought it was very metal so I kept it.

Ah, but what is this game you ask?

Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, from here on known as BotRE, is a post-apocaliptic sci-fantasy RPG in the spirit of Thundarr the Barbarian. So basically swords, sorcery, and super-science. It is based on The Black Hack by David Black, which is one of the best and most versatile old-school RPG engines around. If you have played D&D you will recognize many of the tropes of the game system, though it plays quite differently. For example, in BotRE and TBH the players do nearly all the dice rolling. The GM only rolls for things like random tables and whatever madness they have going on behind the screen. They GM doesn't touch dice otherwise. Let the players do the work.

So check it out.
