Cragg is played by Darren, btw. I realized I went a little crazy with his design and doesn’t look as much like Darren as I’d been hoping. May see what I can do to fix that!

Aww, Mark makes an adorable puppy! (Whatever his name happens to be.)

Yay we get to see everyone in character now!!

There’s always a lull at the start of a LARP while some people try to get the last few bits of their costume together, read their character sheets, or wait to make a big entrance. I like to call this the “Lets Have Our Characters Make Awkward Small Talk” time. Also, Happy 4th of July [...]

Never trust an NPC wearing sunglasses. (Even if they’re your Retainer.) Or one wearing gloves. Also, HAPPY CANADA DAY, fellow Canadians!! I am planning on spending the day hanging out with my friends and grilling a huge assortment of foods! I hope your holiday is equally enjoyable. EDIT: People were asking for links to the [...]

Whew. Now THAT’S a heck of an opening circle speech!

Sarah clearly understands the creepiness level required to play a Darkling.

I couldn’t resist making the background in the third panel a little sparkly and rainbow-y. Sailor Moon has trained me that all makeup transformation scenes should come this way.

And Abbie thought she couldn’t throw together a costume in time for game! All of that last-minute cosplay prep must have served her well. * * * In other news, I’m really excited to announce that I got the chance to do some writing for The Strange, by Monte Cook Games! It’s my first foray [...]

To be fair, there IS one thing as (or more!!) chaotic than the first night at a new LARP – the opening night of a new play. I have stage-managed that particular chaos. I have the scars to prove it!

Woo new chapter!!

Sorry to push back the start of the new chapter by a day, everyone, but yesterday (Sunday) was National Aboriginal Day, and I’m afraid I pow wowed too hard to get everything finished. ^^; These “Start of Chapter” strips always take a little longer to draw because I like to do big establishing shots for [...]

Full body makeup is tricky.

Watching Patrick Stewart interact with fans was an honor and a pleasure. I took notes. He is a class act! Have you heard of the sci-five before? It is so epic it needs its own shirt.

Sadly, that was not the only murder hotel I’ve stayed at during a convention…. The guy in the third panel is not Layne, who doesn’t usually travel with me if I have to fly, but my webcomics buddy, Sam Logan of Sam and Fuzzy. You should read his comic – it is excellent. I’m glad [...]

People have asked me for some stories about my own Convention Adventures, so I decided to draw a few of them in between chapters this time around. There has been WAY too many funny things at conventions to possibly fit into a four strips, so I may be doing this again in the future.

Continuing with my “Alina draws random things as mice” theme, I present to you Baymouse! Balalalala! Chapter 5 starts next week, but in the interim, this week will be Real Life Convention Adventures, since some have you have been asking what sort of crazy shenanigans go on behind the scenes at the conventions I attend. [...]

Starting fooling around with digital watercolors (and real ones as well!) over the past month or so, and found myself doodling fruit-themed dragons. (The first, Dragonfruit, I’m still working on. Dang dragonfruits, having all those tiny little seeds…) This guy is my favorite so far – he’s based on a Mangosteen. I just want to [...]

Yay, another Chapter in the books! We’ll be picking things up with our long-awaited Changeling LARP in Chapter 5, as well as an unexpected visitor for Dustin…

Man, Abbie REALLY loves that game…

In Changeling: The Lost, you can create really cool Hedgespun items out of just about anything. Got a few spare dragon scales, a child’s first laugh and a lover’s sigh kicking around? That’ll make a nice cloak!

…Also sounds a lot less fun than Hammer Time.

Abbie may be just a little evil for tempting people with habaneros. Those dudes are too spicy even for my pho-hardened tongue!

More like King of Drinkie-yo, amiright?
