Bakushu, an Elephant Sangoma from the Jungle Kingdom of Sarjmoti - PC character portrait from my Ironclaw/Akoma campaign, which just might well wrap up (for now) later today. (I finally have all the PCs drawn!) Rather than doing my standard "parchment treatment" in Photoshop, I thought I'd upload it in black and white for a change.

A Cape Buffalo Inyanga - or, if you please, a witch doctor - interprets a casting of the bones to determine the cause of an illness, for the benefit of his visitors. Concept drawing for an Akoma-based Ironclaw RPG campaign. [Ironclaw is © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.] (17 Jun 2003)

A Colobus Monkey missionary of S'allumer, from the eastern kingdom of Sungbo. (The eight-pointed star of S'allumer is braced by a crescent frame - and there's a whole story about that, but not room to tell it here.) Concept picture for an Ironclaw RPG campaign. [Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.]

A flying squirrel prince of the mountainous region of Majabali, in his court, with a bat advisor, and a couple of mouse servants with fans. (This "flying squirrel" is patterned after the African "scaled tail" variety, hence no big bushy tail.) Concept picture for my Akoma campaign starting in August. Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.

An itinerant storyteller gerenuk sits around the campfire with several other of his kind at sunset, weaving a tale. (Gerenuks, in the real world, are rather odd creatures. They can actually stand on their hind legs, and - like giraffes - they have prehensile tongues for snagging juicy leaves from thorny acadia trees.) Yet another concept picture for an Akoma-based Ironclaw campaign (particularly since one of my potential players would like a Gerenuk character). Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd. (16 Jun 2003)

Ngabe, a Sangoma (diviner) of a Meerkat settlement. Yet another concept piece for an Ironclaw campaign I hope to start next month, once I round up players. [Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.]

It's a *clothed* mole rat. (I decided to skip the "naked" part.) Isn't she a beaut? ;) Yet another concept piece for my Akoma Ironclaw campaign starting next week. Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.

I sincerely hope that this time for sure, I've actually uploaded a picture of a Wildebeest! This one is playing a game of Mancala, while a few other members of the herd roam around in the background. Concept picture for Akoma campaign. Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.

In Akoma, all mammals are <i>people</i>, so there are a lot of gaps left in the animal kingdom. This beastie sort of fills the niche left open for "carnivorous ape," in a way. In any case, he's not very friendly. Concept piece for an upcoming RPG campaign. [Ironclaw © Sanguine Productions, Ltd.] (21 Jun 2003)

"Mage Alaya" - Experiment in showing "action" in perspective and effects without the character necessarily "moving" much. Colored in Painter Classic. Alaya is © Inari; image uploaded with permission. (25 Nov 2000)

"Astrologer of House Repense" - © Sanguine Productions, Ltd. I drew this last night/this morning in between calls on a slow night on tech support, as filler for the "Bisclavret" sourcebook. The 300 dpi version shows off a wee bit more detail, but considering this will be shrunk down as filler anyway, that's a moot point. The description called for a bat lady in a conservative dress -- I suppose that there must be some clever ribbing in that dress, or perhaps fasteners going through wing-piercings. Dressing winged creatures properly is tough! (3 Oct 2001)

"Autumn Dance" -- A unicorn plays the flute as an autumn storm sweeps across the countryside. I finally finished coloring this one. (Took me long enough!) The black and white work is done with regular markers and a pen brush, whereas the coloring is done with markers and colored pencils. (26 Oct 2001)

Dragons and plastic bubble wands don't mix well. A cutesy drawing done with an ink brush pen, markers and pencils on some scrap mat board. (19 Oct 2000)
