I’m not always inclined to take a crack at my own characters, largely because I hate disappointing myself by coming up with a visual which doesn’t remotely match the character in my head. That said, I’m pretty happy with how Acaja (From “At Her Fingertips,” up in the current issue of Betwixt magazine) turned out, …
Another RPG character. Had fun playing with a lot of elements just for the heck of it. There isn’t actually a Scotland for him to be from in the setting, but honestly, there aren’t nearly enough RPG characters running around in kilts. Then, because he’s a tinkerer type, and also slightly mad, I wanted to …
Will I be getting back to sketchy Wednesdays? No promises. But I built a character for a play by post RPG game t’other day, and he amused me, so I sketched him. He’s a half-orc, who in-game are a mistrusted race because one of their parents looked monstery and everyone knows looking like and being …
Yes, I disappeared. I don’t know how widespread the term “Hell Week” is when discussing the week and change leading up to a show opening, but, well … yeah. That’s where I’ve been.

Hotheaded visitor from far Ceylon, Helena’s twin brother, and another soul smitten by Drood’s intended, Rosa Bud. Please welcome, Neville Landless: … and his sword-cane? But why would he need that…?
Next on our list of suspects is the Princess Puffer. Fallen woman with a mysterious past, no one knows quite what might be behind the eyes of this opium-dealing harlot: She’s lifted her skirts for many, but has she always been hiding a dagger under them? Danger, Drood!
More suspects. Today, meet Drood’s uncle, Rosa Bud’s voice teacher, the choirmaster of Cloisterham, John Jasper: Jasper and Drood are the only family each other has, and the closest of friends. But goodness, is Edwin meant to drink whatever’s in that glass?
As promised, we’re trickling out our poster sketches. Today, the innocent ingenue of the piece, Edwin’s betrothed, and object of John Jasper’s unwanted attentions: Rosa Bud. Pretty, dainty, and … wait, why does she have that ribbon pulled like a garrote?
