Here's my latest completed drawing from the 50 Years in the Dungeon project ... my cartoon homage to Cody Conyers's cover illo for Alex Thomas's Mutants & Masterminds adventure "Astonishing Adventures: The Lost Library." Happy to share all the Golden Age pulp goodness with you!
I just realized I didn't share the drawings from Thursday's Random Encounters livestream! Well, definitely time to rectify THAT error. The randomly generated prompts were: Vampire + Ripped Pants, Ogre + Starting Pitcher, and Carnivorous Plant + Spring Cleaning.

Elf + Pogo Stick ... Gelatinous Cube + Tap Dancing ... Bugbear + Dr. Who Scarf ... these were the randomly generated prompts from last night's Random Encounters livestream. I'm really taken with the gelatinous cube and I want to make a sticker out of it ... but NO ONE is gonna buy THAT! Right?

I was doodling out some rough character concepts and came up with this guy ... who was so simple, I felt compelled to finish the job and share him while the Winter Olympics are going. Thought about giving him some other kind of hat, though.
And here are the final Hourly Comic Day drawings. This was the 20th #hourlycomicday and the 10th time I've participated (and successfully completed the challenge all ten times).
Cartoon drawing of five D&D heroes standing in front of a goblin-faced fireplace: Halbenet the elf cleric wearing blue/silver armor and wielding gold mace and shield; Tommus the halfling fighter wearing leather armor and wielding a fire-red sword; Coriolis the gnome sorceror wearing an artisan's tabard/overalls and holding a floating orb; Naomlen the dwarf rogue holding two stabby daggers; and Shevarith the human wizard wearing white and green robes and holding a blade-tipped staff.
I commissioned this fan art of the original Warriors of Waterdeep from my favourite D&D cartoonist -- the inimitable @stannex.bsky.social ! -- and he knocked it out of the park!
And now, for some reason, I can't get the A-Team monologue out of my head...

There were two awesome things in my mailbox today, and one that makes me very sad. A mixed bag, for sure.
