Comic Preview: Less Favored Terrain

My favorite part is still Magus trying to catch all those bats.  Some instincts just can't be contained.  Also, I just realized that Ranger probably needs an animal companion.  Any opin...

Wallpaper: September

Colin and I spent a good portion of the 6-hour drive to a wedding this month debating on our September wallpaper theme before settling on 'camping.'  Once that was decided, it was a pretty easy j...

Comic Preview: Mild-Mannered Unicorn

Check out handbookofheroes.com tomorrow for the full post!  Full disclosure: I REALLY liked drawing that fawn.  Turning cute things evil is a serious addiction.

Comic Preview: Fudge

Check out handbookofheroes.com tomorrow for the full post!  I always think it's a little weird to see a naga with hair.  If you're half reptile, you'd think you'd be smooth all over, right?

Sketch: Inquisitor

Handbook is pretty different than my normal sketching style, and it's always fun to switch between the two--I thought I'd try out the Girl Party this week for practice, so expect to see Magus, Ranger ...

Wallpaper: August 2017

Check out handbookofheroes.com tomorrow for the full post!  I have to admit, I maybe had a litttttle too much fun trying to figure out how to do human skin armor on a goblin.  The result is ...

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Battle Damage

Most adventurers find the gelatinous cube too revealing for a formal dungeon setting. Try the classic little black ebony cube for a more conservative look. 

I guess gelatinous cubes have been o...

Comic Preview: Power Corrupts

Check out handbookofheroes.com tomorrow for the full post!  Apparently Wizard isn't quite over his goth/necromancer phase just yet, since he's kept his zombie familiar around.  Sometimes the...
