Draconic Health

It is getting on towards fall at home and the cold weather is setting in. I am thinking about good food. With this on my mind, today seemed like a good time to post the art for Draconic Health, which appeared in a new Dragon Storm set this summer. An apple a day is good for dragons too!

Kitten and the Magic Tea Pot

I have pieces that I pull out of circulation for a time. Later, I bring them back into my regular print offerings. This piece is one of those, I painted this when I was in an especially whimsical mood. Either that or I had been drinking a little too much tea. In either case, enjoy!

 

Travels of Kit 3

After Hans and Fran have proven, once again, that everything people say about them is true, There is not much left of the tavern. It has been destroyed, again!  And again, the tavern owner blames Kit. Tigreans started the fight, so of course Kit must have been involved. Why can't she be a well behaved tigrean like that nice priestess, Tabitha?  Kit's opinion regarding this turn of events clearly shows on her face.

 

Travels of Kit 2

After some time, and multiple rounds of drinks, Hans and Frans make a point of living up to their reputation in a characteristic manner. To be exact, they start a bar brawl. Kit is mortified, wondering how she can belong to the same race as these two.

 

New Travels of Kit 1

Good morning, everyone.  You're in for a treat. I've got big bonus post this week!

Travels of Kit is a comic project I have been working on, with the help of Jim H. for some years. All the illustrations in this series are based on his Dragon Storm rpg character, Kit. Incidents shown in the story are taken from DS sessions Kit has been played in. I have had a lot of fun illustrating this series and I am grateful to Jim for conceiving the idea and sponsoring it. The two of us have had a great working relationship,  despite the fact that we have an on going battle over the sketchbook in which the original artwork is done. Both of us claim parentage to the book. Recently Jim presented me with a court order (absolutely valid, of course, not at all written by him and printed on his home printer) giving him custody of the book. Sigh. At least I still have my visitation rights!

Anyway, enough of that. Onto Kit! Please enjoy the first of three new episodes. To view previous episodes, click on the link that appears below the art.

Kit goes to her local tavern to drown her sorrows in ale. This tavern is the same one that was destroyed with Kit first meant Tabitha some time ago. Since that ill fated meeting the owner has rebuilt the place and it is thriving. Kit has just began to relax when she is confronted by a pair of young male tigreans. These are Hans and Franz, a pair of bothers with a reputation for making trouble wherever they go. What king of trouble is made clear when Hans slaps Kit on the back and speaks his first words to her: "Sister! Buy us a drink!"

Family Portrait as Tiger and Wolf

Elizabeth Y and family asked me to do this delightful portrait of her family as furies. It was fun to do, especially their child; she is a mixture of tiger and wolf, showing the influence of mother and father. Thank you for hiring me to do this wonderful image!
