Beowulf

I just love this guy. Beowulf is really an all around bad-ass. Having fought Grendel with his bare hands and overcome Grendel's mother with some impressive grapple checks, he's already a great hero at a very young age. He then gets a chance to prove once more he is still that great hero when he is well past his prime.
(I hate Hollywood forever for their "Beowulf" movie.)

I've always thought about drawing a picture of Beowulf fighting the dragon. This will hopefully not be the end of this idea. As of now I intend to create a larger and more finalized version. I also have an idea in mind for Sigurd and Fafnir, just working out some kinks with Fafnir's image.

Cheers.

King Kole

King of the Northern Shield of Skyldia. It is in Kole's kingdom that my players first begin their adventure. He has a really intense stare that wasn't what I was aiming for, but it kinda fits since he's an intense guy. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. It is a very large drawing (compared to what I usually draw).

Cheers.

Some Sketches

Tiermud the Dwarfen Fighter. This guy's a character I played in a short game run by a friend of mine. It was only his second time DMing, but he did very well. He devised this really intriguing devise. Our characters had no memory, so to try to remember something of their past they took a sleeping potion. While in their dream we still got to play our characters, although our actions were fairly restricted. It really added to the mystery aspect of trying to remember who we were while still getting to play in the game. It's something I think I might incorporate into a game of my own, but with freer boundaries so that our actions in the memory have a greater impact on the outcome in game.

Kilic is back! He's level three now and really coming into his own as a wizard. I'm really interested in the glide spell he just learnt.

Finally, a wyrm. Drew this while I was bored and wondering how I might go about drawing a skinnier, more snake-like dragon. I think It came out alright, and might warrant a full drawing.

Cheers.

The Scribe

Part of my world building project, I'm working on classes. He was pretty fun to draw, but the real enjoyment came when I was coloring him.

Cheers.

Orf Abak

Alien Detective from a Sci-Fi Roleplaying Game I played the other day called Lasers and Feelings. It was tons of fun, I definitely reccomend it to anyone who wants to sit back, relax and enjoy a few hours of laughing hysterically.

Cheers.

The Coming of Man

Sailing light on fair ships,
singing trumpets calling,
men enter now and make
masters of the whale road.
Craftsmen apply their craft
create for men a tower
higher than the hilltops,
hidden not by mountains.
Then was spotted by trolls
that tower in the sky.
Sang well the cunning skald
song frightening the fiends,
"Mighty are those making
masters of the stone wall.
Doom will our descendants
dread from the mighty foe.
Foreigners and fighters,
fear comes to our doorstep!
Hang the new come humans,
hunt them to the seashore."
So did the loathsome swine
sally forth to bring death
hidden amidst the hills
holding out for nightfall.
High walls of stone well hewn
halted the enemy.
Scaling walls and spearmen,
scalding oil pouring,
difficult the dreaded
door holding out for siege.
But fair ships beautifully
beholden in dock sit.
Cunning plans are crafted.
Conniving minds cause death.
Dreaded comes the downfall
destroying those fair ships.
Straight from battle strode
swordsmen to do battle.
Those who drew their swords there
their enemies did slay.
Fire from death fanned flames
fuels burning rage'n hatred.
Woe to trolls so weary,
war pronounced for ages.
