This is the sketch for the second illustration I did for Brian Courtemanche’s Grave Secrets scenario in Terrors From Beyond. The final illustration ended up being one of my favorite pieces in the book.

Terror from Beyond – Grave Secrets 1
Another sketch for an illustration for Terrors From Beyond. This is the first of two illustrations I did for the scenario Grave Secrets by Brian Courtemanche. (No website or blog.)
Terrors from Beyond – Ghost Light
Back in 2007 I did a series of illustrations for an RPG book called Terrors From Beyond. That book is now out so I thought I’d post my rough sketches.
Today’s piece is for the scenario Ghost Light by Gary Sumpter. (And if he’s got a blog or a webpage I didn’t find it.)
Between Sketchbooks
We’re between sketchbooks at the moment. If all goes well I’ll be posting new images tomorrow. If you can’t wait until then, go buy a copy of Basic Roleplaying. It’s my most extensive illustration job in years.
BRP – Valley of Bones
This is the last sketch I’ll be showing for the Basic Roleplaying manual. There are illustrations in the book that sort of bypassed the approval process. I was contracted for 30 pieces in all.
I’m not sure what I’ll be posting next. Another sketchbook seems logical but I don’t currently have one scanned and it’s not looking like I’ll have much time for a few days. So it nothing appears here it just means I’m really busy out in meatspace.
BRP – God Squad
“What If?” is a handy question to use when trying to think of story ideas, gaming ideas, illustration ideas.
“What if Tarzan had been the son of a Chinese prince instead of an English lord?”
“What if Revelations started happening the way the evangelicals said it would?”
“What if you had a doorway to the past in your closet?”
The illustration here was inspired by the question “What if Doc Savage and his gang were a bunch of holy men instead of scientists?”
BRP – The Dread Sargasso Sea
This piece was inspired by the stories of William Hope Hodgson. I remember, as a kid, being so disappointed that the real Sargasso Sea wasn’t such a terrifying place. Oh well, maybe the floating continent of trash will make up for it.
