This family had a lot members that stayed hidden of their own volition. Wilfred was the one that was kept hidden. His dietary habits made him less than popular with … well … everybody, actually.

The twins, young, pretty and doomed. Of course they’re doomed. They’re non-player characters in a Call of Cthulhu scenario. If they aren’t doomed today they’re doomed tomorrow.

This is another piece where much of the detail was added in the inking process. This was the place where the remains of unfortunate victims ended up.

Not all the family were hideous mutants. Some of them are just kind of crazy.

More mutated immortal children. Anyone interested in adoption? The kids were apparently quite nice. Mostly.

I like how Nathanial’s expression turned out.

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.
