Colored Pencil 13" x 20"
This one is the first of a series titled "Sisters of the
Vast," based on an RPG adventuring party by that name. I
twisted her head a little too far in this image, so I redid
it later with her sidekick, a six foot tall carnivorous ape.
I have since discontinued this series because of certain
policy changes in the RPGA's Living City campaign. I have
since discontinued playing this character. Too bad, because
she rocked.

Colored Pencil 9"x12"
I did this as a sort of fun project. I used it as the cover
for a game convention information booklet. A friend decided
that she looked constipated.

Watercolor 15" x 22"
This is a painting of a friend of mine at a local medieval
faire. He was very proud of his yellow socks that day, but I
didn't paint them.

Colored Pencil 11"x14"
This image was done as an exercise in color play. The
character is an old DC comics character. There was a
challenge posted in some issue or another of something to
take some little used character and update him or her. This
is my version of Zatana as an older woman. I threw in a
little Liz Taylor just to give her a little of that "I
recognize her from somewhere" feeling.

Pen and Ink with Acrylic Washes 11" x 14"
This image was initially one of two created for the
DarkCon 3
game convention. I originally had intended to use it as the
convention book cover until we managed to get a great image
from an artist guest (Quinton Hoover). Instead, it was also
slated to appear on the DarkCon 3 t-shirt which never
materialized. I scanned the black
and white version of this prior to coloring it.

Watercolor 11" x 15"
This is a quick watercolor that I did of a Bard at a local
medieval faire. I used salt in the paint to texture his
robe, and I think his arm and hand crooked like that makes
him look sort of dwarven.

Pen and Ink and Acrylic Wash 11" x 14"
I originally did this picture for DarkCon
3 as well. It got used on the back cover, but the
printing was so poor that it could not be seen well.

The A-Kon web site had a flyer creation contest. No, I
didn't win, but I did enter. This was the image that I used
for a backdrop. I tilted it and ran words across parts of it
and around the image and sent it to them as a pdf file. The
prize for the winner was free admission to the convention,
which was a moot point since I had planned to attend the
Southern Plaines Gaming Expo that same weekend. As it turned
out, I couldn't make it, having just had two impacted wisdom
teeth removed by an oral surgeon.

Acrylic on mat board 8"x10"
I painted this image from a digital photograph that I
snapped at a local Medieval faire. I do not know who she is,
but she posed nicely when I pulled out my camera, so I
snapped her pic.

Chalk Pastel 12"x18"
I drew this image for a friend and for a fundraiser. When
DarkCon 6 did not perform up to the minimum monetary
standard, I started taking cheap commission work to help pay
off the hotel bill. This is my rendition of a friend's
living city character.

Acrylic on canvas panel 16" x 20"
This is another character portrait. It is the last one that
I did for an RPGA Living City campaign character. These
paints are a little more translucent and glossier that I
prefer in acrylics. The runes on the sword were supposed to
have a specific meaning, but not having a concise definition
of the language, I wrote my own.

Pen and Ink, airbrush and colored pencil
11"x17"
This was a picture from left field. Someone contacted me via
the internet and asked me to do a picture of his wife in a
certain design of chainmail. He sent pics of her and the
mail along with a pose that some other artist had sketched
for him. He paid in chainmail. I now have a collar made of
the stuff, but I don't know when I'll ever wear it. I also
took a preliminary
scan of this image prior to adding the backgroud and
color.

Colored Pencil 12"x18"
This was a piece that I did as part of a fund raiser auction
for the red cross. I put in a certificate good for a
character portrait. I liked the basic idea of the character,
and as usual, I wanted to place her in the appropriate
setting.

Acrylic on mat board 11"x14"
Ima Bellevir was one of my RPGA Living City characters, of
which I have had many. She was a bard who always claimed to
be a gypsy fortune teller. I pulled her out when I just
wanted to BS my way through a round. Basically I just made
up omens and stuff off the top of my head while putting on a
very thick accent like Boris and Natasha from Rocky and
Bullwinkle. I had a little fortune telling kit full of
astrological dice and tarot cards that I carried around just
to play her. The scary thing about her was the charmed
existence that this character led, and the uncanny nature of
her predictions. I always suspected DM collusion, but I
think I just unconsciously goaded other PCs into fulfilling
my prophecies.
