Apparently, my brain has now accepted “Freehold†as the only term it will use for “place where the LARP characters liveâ€. This gets surreal at our Fallen Angels game, and downright confusing at any other nWoD game. Also, is Joel just trolling Jim here? I think he is. * * * Sorry for the slow [...]
Today’s sketch is by my bestest animation school bud and dear friend, Marie McNeill. I absolutely ADORE her art, which is equal parts cute, sassy and derpy (in the best sense of that word!). Marie, you are incredible and THANK YOU so much for the amazing art of Abbie’s Changeling Character. Gen Con continues to [...]
Today’s guest comic is by my good buddy, Luke Foster of The Center of Somewhere and an amazing travel journal comic about his trip across the United States, Drawn Away. Thanks again, Luke! I always love seeing your take on my characters! I approve of Abbie’s reasoning for parties. * * * Also, in REALLY [...]
It’s that time of year again, when GenCon takes over my life completely! Thankfully my friends are helping me out with some awesome guest strips. The first is from my good friend Angela Melick! She does a great autobiographical webcomic called Wasted Talent! She’s made a comic about two of my favourite things… board games [...]
…But no one is evening listening to the Summer King anymore. Not when there’s a puppy dancing around like crazy. Mind you, most Summer Court meetings tend to be like trying to talk to a group of hyperactive school kids anyway, though in this case, some of the kids can punch through brick walls or [...]
Actually, the surprising thing about the Winter Court meeting is that anyone is visible. While Sorrow is the emotion of the court, they also have a reputation for hiding and sneakiness that can even eclipse that of Autumn, the Court of Fear. A common joke at my Changeling LARP is that the empty room is [...]
SO MUCH GEN CON PREP!! Regular updates will continue tomorrow through Friday, but for now, I need a days’s breathing space to get the last of the stuff prepared for Gen Con. Also, you guys get a picture of a vampiric giraffe. Because who doesn’t need a vampiric giraffe on a Wednesday?
Abbie’s character thinks she’s a comedian, but she really just CRASHED and BURNED! (Yes, I’m fired.) * * * I will be at BOOTH 641 at Gen Con this year, with a whole TON of awesome comics people! I’m going to have a bunch of new shirts, prints, and coloring books available, so if you’re [...]
Why bother with flavour text when you can just spend 2 XP? (Seriously, tho. PLEASE bother with the flavour text. It is what makes Changeling so much fun!)
This is a repost, since I originally sketched this during a Christmas break, but I figured it was especially relevant now. These are early concepts for a very different Motley idea I had – an all Winter Court Motley. Winter Court’s emotion is sorrow, and they deal with themes of loss, detachment and hiding in [...]
Hollows are great, even if it is a little bit safer to just live in an apartment. (Changelings who spend too much time in the Hedge go a little nuts!) Monsters can’t, generally, find you and eat you in an apartment. On the other hand, apartments come with neighbours, and neighbours might notice if you [...]
A really hard-ass ST might argue that the name is a little close to their Keeper’s name, but I would allow them it because the name is cool as heck. Also, I think that Woe (Sarah’s character) speaks more in this comic than in any other thus far!
In Changeling, the Summer Court is the court of fire, wrath, and swords. Which makes the Summer King (or Queen!) pretty easy to spot, especially since their Mantle (a halo-ish effect that lets other Changelings know which season they belong to) stands out like, well, a GIANT TORCH ABOVE THEIR HEADS!!! Fun fact: The Summer [...]
These are not sketches for Abbie’s Changeling character, but they seemed to fit the theme and I had a TON of fun drawing the flames. Flames are great!
