Deviant Friday

Deviant Friday – Felipe Massafera Edition

/ jstater

Felipe Massafera brings a heightened reality to comic book characters, and I think he handles it well. I think the trick to know when to stop – to not wring too much fantasy out of the characters. Enjoy …

The main reason I resisted changing Stoneskin to Enhance Armor II for so long.

 

For the record, my second favorite Green Lantern after Hal Jordan. Yeah, that’s right, I’m willing to go on the record with that.

 

And though we have no Red Sonja or Dejah Thoris today, we do have these plane hopping adventurers …

 

Yeah, I still get a kick out of those old cartoons. Good times.

Deviant Friday – Steve LeCouilliard Edition

/ jstater / 3 Comments

Steve LeCouilliar, AKA Fearless Fosdick, writes and draws comedy and action-comedy comic books. Specifically comics about a barbarian mom called Una and comics about Much the Miller’s Son. I love his pen and ink work and would love to see some single-panel strips of his show up in old school products a’la the strips that appear in the old DMG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would love to have somebody play an Una-like character in a game – barbarian woman with children. Would be lots of fun.

A moment for self-promotion …

Got to see a printer’s proof of my first Hexcrawl Classic for the Frog God yesterday. Looks good – hopefully will be out soon. I’m going to try to put up a permanent page for each “product line” I’m involved with, providing links to the books, blog posts related to them, etc. Hopefully I’ll get them finished this weekend.

Deviant Friday – Enymy Edition

/ jstater / 6 Comments

Enymy does some nice stuff with a wild, somewhat weird, abstract style – not Erol Otus weird, in fact not very old school at all, but definitely high on the fun factor. Enjoy the images – and since they’re super hero centric, I’m throwing in some stats as well …

[alas, the image is gone, but I wanted the Spidey stats to remain]

I kinda like the more alien feel of this Cthulhu
Yeah, Cthulhu’s probably better to stat out as a monster, but what the hey …
I don’t really know who these people are, but I do agree with punching Hitler.
You know, I’ve never read any of the Hellboy universe of comics, even though it pushes many of my geek buttons. One of these days I’ll have to delve in.
And be sure to check out his Marvel A to Z bit …

Deviant Friday – Erica Henderson Edition

/ jstater / 2 Comments

Erica Henderson – ehenders on DeviantArt – does some nice line work – quirky and easy on the eye and deceptively uncluttered. Her DeviantArt gallery has lots of pin-up art but is light on fantasy fare, so I’m including some of the kick ass monster illos she’s posted on her blog, I Fail At Life, as well. I would seriously love to see a quirky, modern, rules lite fantasy game illustrated by Erica. Enjoy.

 

Reminds me of one of the protagonists in Alberto Varanda’s La Geste des Chevaliers Dragons.

 

 

I’d like to think this lady lives in Nod, or at least visits once and a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and many, many more …

Deviant Friday – Liu Dongzi Edition

/ jstater / 1 Comment

Do you like monkeys? How about monkey kings? Well, Liu Dongzi AKA Eastmonkey likes monkeys and their associated suzerains. Enjoy …

 

 

 

 

 

No Sonja or Dejah this time around, but if you’re looking for some pics of the titian warmaiden, you might check out the Red Sonja, She-Devil With a Sword blog.

Deviant Friday: Dustin Nguyen Edition

/ jstater

I hope you like comic books, and more specifically, Batman comic books, because this week we checking out the work of Dustin Nguyen, duss005 on DeviantArt. Dustin has done lots of work for DC, and I really love his style, especially the water color feel of the pieces. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deviant Friday – Mike Dubisch Edition

/ jstater / 2 Comments

Mike Dubisch does some wonderfully creepy drawings, mostly in the Cthulhu vein. Check it out boys and girls and then check your SAN. Some are a bit NSFW, unless you work in a topless bar, so beware.

Probably won’t be found singing with a crab any time soon, but she might run into trouble with a tentacled horror.
I understand Alan Gribben will be releasing a new version of the text that excludes the word F’tagn – shocking.
It’s not surprising to me that he doesn’t have a Red Sonja or Dejah Thoris in his gallery, but man would I be interested to see what he would do with them!

Deviant Friday – Paul Harmon Edition

/ jstater / 2 Comments

Okay, I guess I’m not done posting this month/year after all. Today’s deviant is Paul Harmon, aka dogmeatsausage. A few different encounters in NOD were inspired by his work – enjoy the last Deviant Friday of 2010!

 

Bats

 

 

I remember the first time I saw that bat dude on the right – immediately decided he lived somewhere in the Klarkash Mts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thundarr was my introduction to the post-apocalyptic world concept – still love it.

Deviant Friday – Dave Johnson Edition

/ jstater / 1 Comment

Dave Johnson (Devilpig) has quite a resume – work for Marvel and D.C., a couple d20 Modern covers, some stuff for Ben10 – comics, cartoons and RPGs, all fodder for a blog like mine. He has a style that takes a pat subject and veers off at the last moment to make it interesting, and he creates from very stylish covers for comic books. Enjoy.

 

These guys recently showed up on a great episode of Batman: Brave and the Bold

 

This one is my favorite – looks like an illustration that would have appeared in an old pulp magazine of the 1930’s.

 

It’s not froghemoth, but still nothing to sneeze at …

 

 

Cover to d20 Modern, I think. I’ll probably do something with d20 Modern in my retro-engineering series one of these days.

Homemade costume – nice job.

 

Managed to get Dejah in this time, but not Red.
