Deviant Friday – Joel Carroll Edition

/ jstater / 3 Comments

Readers of the Land of Nod should not be strangers to Joel Carroll, the artist who worked on Mystery Men! and oft posted on this blog. While you folks might know him primarily for his superhero artwork, he dabbles in many eras and I actually first discovered him on a site showing some of his D-n-D monster sketches. Check it out, gentle readers …

Today, I peer uncomfortably at jimmymcwicked. He makes fun drawings of fun stuff that are cool and fun. He also sells his wares HERE. Go visit, won’t you?

COMMANDO

 

 

Yes – he’s a commando. Not a freaking trite, overused ninja.

Deviant Friday – JHarren Edition

/ jstater / 1 Comment

JHarren has a frantic, oozy style that I appreciate – and plenty of Kirbytech, the geometries of which make a nice contrast to his fluid inks. I can imagine all sorts of game books that would benefit from some JHarren pieces. Enjoy, an be sure to visit JHarren’s Deviant art gallery for much more.

Deviant Friday – Joe Pekar Edition

/ jstater / 1 Comment

Joe Pekar – AKA JFury – besides being a generally skilled artist, is especially skilled at pin-up art. If pin-up art offends your sensibilities, you’ll find a treasure trove of offense (NSFW) on his Deviant art page. Enjoy some of his tamer offerings here, ladies and gents.

Sunday Grab Bag – Better Late Than Never

/ jstater / 3 Comments

Busy day – yard work and family time. Here are a few oddities I found this week …

Golden Age of Weird Department

With a splash page like this, how bad could the story be?

Russ Nicholson is Awesome Department

Nothing clever to say here – he just is.

Smoking Airship Department

Yeah, this baby will show up in a Campaign Sketchbook in a future issue of NOD. Dreadnaughts of the Endless Blue maybe. It would be aerial dreadnaughts in the late colonial period – I’d put them in Victorian space, but somebody beat me to that idea.

Looking for Cheap Hits Department

When you’re looking for page views, you can’t go wrong with Power Girl. But honestly – this is one of my favorite depictions of the character ever. Image by Chris Samnee, via Comic Twart, a site you must, if you love your eyeballs and want to give them a treat, follow now!

My Daughter is a Mad Genius Department

Playing with Fabrica Herois tonight, she created Angel-Devil. Is she a saintly savior or a devilish demon … or BOTH!?! Now we just need to work out some Mystery Men! stats.

Deviant Friday – Jeremy Mohler Edition

/ jstater

If you’re into RPGs, surely you’ve seen Mohler’s work (JerMohler on DeviantArt). The genres he has worked in are wide reaching (well, in terms of RPGs) and he produces strong line work and often vibrant colors that remind me a bit of Bilibin. Best of all, I think, he breaks the Maxim mold on modern depictions of women in RPGs and comic books.

Here are a few pieces of Mohler’s to enjoy …

The Seven Saxons

Deviant Friday – Jeff Axer Edition

/ jstater

Jeff, or JayAxer on DeviantArt, has a really beautiful sense of color and line – flowing and bright and inviting. He does a lot of “furry” art, which isn’t really my cup of tea, but I can’t deny the talent and the creativity even with those pieces. I’d love to see him illustrate a revised edition of Talislanta.

Chaotic: Ahnem Colours

 

 

Tech Armor Fighter

 

 

Masked Female Fighter

 

 

Desert Cavern

 

 

Chaotic: Ylinne Colours

Deviant Friday – janaschi edition

/ jstater / 1 Comment

Say what you might about Magic: The Gathering, but it certainly keeps artists busy. One of those artists is janaschi, who does some really nice color work – pretty women in the anime/elven vein – a fantasy artist I would put in the Todd Lockwood school.

Short gallery today – check it out. Later – Space Princess aliens and maybe tonight one of the most powerful super heroes ever conceived given Mystery Men! stats.
