#1 The Mnemonic Wizard

| November 1, 2011 | 3 Comments

 

Odo Blacwin had just finished the incantation of teleportation when he realized the Tomb of Bones was not empty.  Age had dulled the old wizard’s wit, and made it difficult to remember the symbols of the Mnemonic Arcanum.  When the Leviathan struck, Odo’s mind went blank.

2011 Challenger: Don Urquhart

| October 26, 2011 | 2 Comments

Hello, folks. I’m not sure why, but I seem to have taken a fourteen year hiatus from drawing. I’ve just recently re-discovered the joy of sitting down to put pencil to paper, and I’m hoping that the 30 character challenge will get me back in the habit of drawing every day.

I was initially introduced to the challenge by a work chum who had entered it last year. Every day I would check the site to see what he had submitted, but soon found myself checking out all the entries (it was a great way to start each dreary November day with coffee and pictures). The whole thing seemed like too much fun; I had to participate.

I’ll try to bring an even assortment of characters, but I have to admit that I have a soft spot for robots, monsters, and aliens. I’ll try various styles, although most of my offering will probably be in pencil.

I’m looking forward to checking out everyones work. Good luck.
