I give you Hutts and a Bith who doesn't wear a bra.





Embra the Hutt



Malta the Hutt



Farquil Ban'n, who doesn't wear a bra.

And here's a sketch of a fan character that I modeled after Emma Watson.  A much better sketch than what I was using for her infobox image.



Still need to color it.

The drastic temperature shift, plus the rain ramped up my allergies and asthma.  I feel utterly awful.

Hoo boy... quite a bit happened in Wizardry...

Our intrepid band of bounty hunters scaled the bell tower one more time, swung across the pit, and Dengar unlocked the door that was there and they found a treasure chest.  Greedo disarmed it and they found a heavy rope.

Hm...  The gears with Bossk's head start turning...

He has a steel hook.  Now, he has a rope.  And there is that big chasm in the lower levels of the castle that they couldn't get across.  Oh, if only they had a grappling hook or something...

Bossk combines the rope with the hook and the party go to the chasm, Bossk swings the hook across and snags a stable boulder.  Then, one by one, the group shimmies across the rope.  They search the tunnels for a while, but find no women.  However, Dengar sees something!  It's a button!  Dengar presses it, and the party drops to the tunnels below.  After more exploration, they come across a grand canyon crisscrossed by a network of bridges, and a giant mountain looms in the center.

The bridges are a confusing maze, so Bossk, his head hurting after making that grappling hook, decides to lead the group through the tunnels that they saw.  They come across a set of stairs and descend down into the depths, and suddenly...

A GIANT HEAD APPEARS!

Zuckuss almost faints.

The head appears to be trapped within a crystal.  If only they could find a way to free it... 

The group head back to the canyon and explore the edge.  After some tedious and very confusing mapping (the map looks like a fingerprint), and a fight on a drawbridge against a troll, they come across a chasm which they cannot cross.  And there is a button on the wall.  Greedo uses the mystery oil, and an alcove appears and a set of six switches and instructions that are a complicated word problem. 

I have the sequence written down, but I'm not sharing.  Figure it out yourself.  :P

Well, eventually, with Zuckuss's help (sort of.  He just suggested sequences), Bossk figures out the proper controls that extend the drawbridge, and the group crosses it.  They also fight more enemies, including some mountain giants.  One of the giants managed to slam Zuckuss right in the head with a sledgehammer and half his health.  Guess being in the back isn't as safe as he thought it was...

After several battles and leveling up, they make it to the mountain and Bossk sees a foot hold that they can use to climb.  So, they climb.  Then, they fight more enemies.  And acquire more items, such as giant sledgehammers, boulders, rutabagas, and roasted corn (yum).  And they climb some more.  And fight more enemies.  And climb... and Bossk slips, and knocks Dengar down, who grabs Greedo, and they hit Zuckuss, and then 4-LOM and IG-88 have their falls cushioned by the other four.  Zuckuss suggests that they stay where it is safe and rest.  So, they do.

Then, they climb some more.  And slip.  And fight.  And climb.  And fight.  And slip.  And fall.  And climb.  And fight.  And slip.  And climb.

Finally, they reach the top and there is a treasure chest.  It is inscribed with a warning that may a curse be upon those who dare to pilfer it.  Greedo checks it for traps and finds none.  The chest is opened and... there's nothing in it but a note.

"Hey, thanks for the tip," writes Queequeg, "to show my appreciation, here are some things."

Trinkets and baubles.

Thanks, Queequeg.  Enjoy that curse!

I usually make sure I look before I sit.  Hell, I look before I walk, and yes, I look before I leap.  I wanna know what's waiting for me.

The officials for that school also claim that the design was not deliberate.  And sadly, their mascot is not a falcon.  They are the Parkland Trojans. :(

I knew someone who sat on a banana.  When I laughed, she said, "It's not funny!  Now I got banana-ass!"

I have no idea.  Apparently, other schools by the same architect have similar layouts.  Perhaps the architect is a closet fan...?

Hm... looking at the layout again, the courtyard in the middle bears an uncanny resemblance to the dorsal quad laser turret... It can't be a coincidence.  It just can't be.

Huh.  It does look sort of like Gutsman's head...

Pennsylvania earned about five more coolness points for that one, too.

I think there already is a Megaman Fanon wiki.  I know that there is a Megaman wiki and I've edited their grammar and spelling and formatting three times and they offered me adminship. :P

Portfolio piece I did a while back.



Context is a scene from the Shadows of the Empire comic (Go hunt down the Shadows of the Empire Omnibus for comic awesomeness and cheesy Fett dialogue!).

Out of context, it looks as if Fett is protecting Zuckuss from exterminators. :P

Oh, since Imageshack resized the pic, here is the full-size image.

Here's an Ackbar sketch.



I haven't drawn Ackbar since high school, so I drew him while waiting for my laundry.

And that's it for now.

I give you some sketch card stuff.



Jozzel Moffet



Sardu Sallowe

I'm trying out the sketch card format as that's what I want to do.  May as well show Topps that I can do it.

That is awesome!  I wish my local stores would do that...

Until then, though... have some Wizardry screenshots.



Bossk's gold pieces are 1337.



Lucky screenshot with a bad text parser.

Well, not much happened in Wizardry.  The party divvied up the loot from the previous adventure.  Then, they investigated the corpse behind the gate in a small cage in the Captain's Den.  When Dengar unlocked the gate, Bossk touched the corpse and it disintegrated.  So, they looted the corpse.  Another tricorne hat went to IG-88, a steel hook went to Greedo, an eyepatch was passed around and the party realized that it was useless.  And, there was also a stuffed green parrot.  So, Greedo takes the parrot and as he's changing his clothes and re-equipping stuff, he equips the parrot and is asked...

Do you want to invoke the power of the parrot?

Greedo invokes the power of the parrot, and his Personality stat increases by one.  So, it's off to Queequeg they go to sell some loot, and Zuckuss is hauling too many things and is nearing his carrying capacity (he can't even carry 50 items).  The party swaps some loot around, Bossk sells some extraneous items, trades some things with IG-88, and Greedo steals some items and sells them back to Queequeg.  Then, Greedo does something he hardly ever does...

Greedo bought two items!  He bought a pair of leather boots and some cuir gauntlets.  The gauntlets have yet to be handed out, but the boots went to 4-LOM, as he had no shoes.

Greedo: Don't say I never did anything nice for you.

Now, everyone has footwear.  Bossk, IG-88, and Zuckuss are decked out in their Birkenstock sandals, Greedo is clad in all leather, including his boots, 4-LOM finally has shoes, and Dengar loves his suede everything.  Yes, his suede jacket has fringes.

Dengar also gained a level.  He is now at level 7 (not 8, as I had erroneously said earlier), and has the rank of Archer, which is weird as his primary weapon is a spear.  He's not very good with arrows.  he's not terrible, but the spear allows him to attack twice in one turn, so he uses that.  He also learned Acid Splash, so Zuckuss taught him the basics.

Zuckuss: This one is relatively easy.  Just mix the acid in a small bulb and throw it.  Make sure you throw it away from you.  You don't want it splashing back in your face.

Bossk: And make sure none of us are in front of you when you throw it.

Zuckuss: That only happened one time!

The party explored some more and went back to the first floor of the castle and explored.  Not much story progression this time, mostly switching around equipment to see what works best.  Hopefully, with Dengar advancing in level, he'll sniff out some hidden items for the group to use.  Perhaps they will finally figure out a way across that bottomless chasm, where those tribal women escaped to...

I must say, that is looking very nice.  And to put those twenty pages together...  I've done images piecemeal before and know how frustratingly tedious it is to line everything up perfectly.  The dedication to that is great.

Though, to ease up on your colored pencils, I suggest getting a couple black Sharpies.  If I need to fill in large areas with black, regardless of the medium, I will often use Sharpies.

Have you considered uploading to Imageshack?  You can tell the uploader to not resize the image.  It's what I use, since Photobucket sucked.
