School of Saatchi was an interesting reality TV style Art programme by the BBC and gave us a glimpse into the elite ‘Art World’ or ‘World of Contemporary Art’ as I have sometimes heard it called.  It’s nothing like the inclusive world of webcomics and self-representing artists that I enjoy.  It’s a world of Galleries...

Purenightshade drew me this wonderful cross-over piece of Amuletts and her character Kishandren showing off in their gorgeous red dresses, as worn by Amuletts here and Kishandren here.  Together I’m sure they’ll turn heads! You should check out her comic, Children of the Tiger, because it’s totally cool and stuff.  Right now it’s heroes are...

This deserved posting because it is just… brilliant! My gaming group and I often produce a verse or two of “Never Split the Party” when the situation calls for it. It’s a good song, although personally I don’t agree with the sentiment. I’m told it’s because I play a Theif. It’s true. But if a...

This is a Character Sheet style Resume by Sean McNally.  He’s a pretty good artist actually.  You can find page 2 here.  I’m not sure what role-play system it’s based on, if it’s D&D then it’s a different system to the one I play. If this is the resume just imagine the interview!  I think...

Check out this guest art I did for the webcomic Shadowgirls. Amuletts may be drunk but at least her chat up line’s original!...

The 1980’s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon ended with the children still stuck in the Realm. It seems for all their attempts to get home they never did. 20 years on the live-action fan-film ‘Choices‘ revisits them. They’re not children any more, their innocence and light-hearted optimism is now world-weariness. It is an iteresting, mature, and...

A Beagle, a lizard and a Muppet fly into outer space  Sounds like the set-up for a great joke doesn’t it?  Well it’s actually the premise for Willow’s Grove, a Science-fiction Webcomic by Karl Kleese. On the face of it the writing seems simple and funny, but at its heart is surprisingly cleaver.  It combines...

purenightshade of Children of the Tiger drew this lovely piece of Fan Art as part of her big Halloween art project.  You see Halloween is her favorite holiday, so every day from Oct1st to 31st she’s drawing one of her characters in Cosplay!  Today it’s Kishandren as Amuletts. Receiving it really cheered me up! Check...

Right now the Surfacescapes project is creating a prototype for playing tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) on the Microsoft Surface Table.  And they’re starting with D&D.  They released a demo (shown above) on Vimeo on Oct 18th 2009.  It’s generated quite a buzz.  Is there a geek alive that doesn’t want to play with this puppy? ...

Antoine of The Drunken Fools drew this really cool Fan Art of Clodin.  He seems to be my most popular character – I have more fan art of him than anyone else!  Must be that dwarvish charm, but I think he earned a lot of kudos for making out with Tinuville. Antoine says “Epic Fail...

A short while ago Johnny Saturn spotlit Epic Fail, now it’s time for me to return the favour. I sincerely doubt I will do it justice but I’m gonna try! Johnny Saturn, in my opinion, is THE superhero webcomic. If you’re a fan of the genre it’s something you really can’t afford to miss. You...

Many noble webcomic artists have come together, donating art to an online auction to raise money for the Point Foundation, a group that gives scholarships to LGBT students. It runs up to the 24th of July 2009, so act fast if you don’t want to miss out! There are some beautiful pictures you can bid...
