This is the base pencil art for an illustration in The Black Seal #2. The article being illustrated was about a secret lab/containment facility run by PISCES.
Demons
I’m pretty sure that these demonish critters were sketched in connection with the Mandate of Heaven RPG. I don’t remember if Derek had written any rules around using demons and monsters but they were part of the game.
Early Versions
These two characters should have a longer entry but at I’m having a fairly hard time getting going this morning. These are early sketches for a couple of fictional contributors to the Black Seal. The man is a nerdier version of Grant Emerson, a Delta Green friendly. The final, more rugged, version appeared in issue #2. The woman was to be a research librarian who would contribute various articles on world history and mythology with a Cthulhu Mythos slant. She has yet to be used in print. Her resemblance to Velma is no coincidence.
Superior Kung Fu
Another illustration for the Mandate of Heaven RPG
Gut Serpents
Illustration done for the unfinished Mandate of Heaven RPG.
Wilbur Bromley
These are the base pencils for an illustration for The Black Seal #2. The character portrayed is Wilbur Bromley, an avatar of Y’Golonac.
N to Z
A very sketchy second half of the alphabet. I usually sketch with a 2H pencil and then tighten the sketch with an HB. This part of the alphabet never got to the HB stage.
A to M Sasquatch Alphabet
Letters A to M for a font for the uncompleted 2004 calendar.
No Love for Ducks
Sometimes you’ve just got to decapitate someone and put his head on a stick. It makes the citizenry love you all the more.
Sasquatch Alphabet Designwork
Further development on a font for my unfinished 2004 Sasquatch calendar. I spent some time looking for and photographing various interesting statues around Seattle for Sasquatch and the little troll to visit but, other than some further design work on this font and a few preliminary sketches, this project didn’t get very far.
