Whenever someone talks about peace through strength it reminds me of G1 Megatron's Tech Specs. Every character has a little motto that encapsulated his philosophy, and his was "Peace through tyranny"

I'm not saying there was any real depth to the 80s TF lore, just saying.. he was the bad guy

I gotta get back to working on this displacer beast at some point... A redraw would clean the up...

XCC game last night was the first we nope'd out of - made it to the break room v beat up and we decided to go no further. Escaped with most of our lives at least

Paper minis update

Next step scan & see how they print & glue up

first attempt at making a sheet of paper minis. This is so fun.

If you haven't tried it you should make some.

I've been drawing pig faced orc butts all day

I need to get a real lightbox though... Using the brightness on my tablet screen is a sketchy work around

@darkerthanvanta.bsky.social just found this at TPL. I'm excited to dive in. Post apocalyptic Canada!

Crazy session last night at the FLGS - my Brawler, Bruce Killis, survived the crawl formerly known as "Terror on the Tundra" and only barfed once.

an early attempt at some art for an evil cleric bad guy ... I wanted to capture the spiritual power coming from the holy symbol and his gesture... But the pose and the rays of light just turned this into a disco scene lol.

A hundred percent. I tried to make a chickadee/mouse one too which would be even more silly + added cuteness

Also I'm not sure if it's still a griffin without a feline component.... Maybe such the tinyiest chimera...
December 22, 2025 at 7:04 PM
alternate griffin ideas - instead of eagle lion, how about parrot/jaguar?

coloured pencil practice..

Hi my name is John. I'm working on some pig faced orc stuff for an upcoming zine - old school style

that one time in the 90s AD&D comic where they tried to honeypot a bad guy with the fighter character... poor Vajra, so uncomfortable #OSR #ADnD
