This is a sketch for one of the larger illustrations. It’s an even more vague sketch than I often do because I planned to improve most of the details when I was inking. Jean, the mutant child here, was described in the text as being almost formless.

Blah. Threw my back out on Saturday. At least this time I was helping someone move heavy furniture.

The scenario I illustrated in Mansions of Madness featured one of those families that dabbles in Things Men Should Not Know. This (and the occasional inbreeding) results in a variety of warped and deformed immortal children. Girard is one of those children.

This illustration didn’t make it into the final gamebook. Not enough space.

Earlier this year I got an assignment from Chaosium to illustrate a new scenario in their reissue of the gamebook Mansions of Madness. I’ll be showing the preliminary sketches for those illustrations over the next few days.
