Comics, Illustrations and Musings Miscellaneous

Another illustration from my forthcoming game “Welcome to Nova Cromlec.” The life of a customs agent isn’t glamorous, but the company is good. (That is if you’re into screaming shore birds.)

Art was created in Affinity Designer as vector, then layered with raster textures and details. (About 5 years ago, I started working largely in vector for illustration work; about two years ago mixing raster back into it to give it a softer look).

Hey, look at that! I’ve posted something to Tumblr! This is from a game book I’ve been working on called “Welcome to Nova Cromlec”. It’s a humorous fantasy setting based on my “Oh the Beating Drum!” comics.

Jenny's comics are great. She has an effortless line that we should all strive to achieve.

A bitter feud between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh in the late 19th century truly built paleontology into the field it was today. It’s not clear what the starting point for their bitter rivalry was, but it only grew in intensity over the years. 

The two men were notorious for stealing fossils from each other’s dig sites by bribing workers, as well as destroying bones and writing scathing criticisms on each others published work in newspapers in an attempt to discredit one another.  These actions, among others, led to both suffering blows to their finances as well as their reputation in the field. 

Their obsessive battle for supremacy, however, led to the discovery of rich bone beds in the western United States. It also resulted in an increased interest in prehistoric life (both in the public forum and academia), leading to an increase in fossil hunting in the decades to come.

Oh, The Beating Drum! I've started doing a regular sword and sorcery comic for the magazine Worlds Without Master. This is the first page (of two) from the first installment. As you can tell, it's a visceral tale of derring-do! You should buy the magazine, because I really, really want to keep making these!

Worlds Without Master

“Worlds Without Master is an adventure fiction and gaming ezine featuring sword & sorcery short fiction and games from Epidiah Ravachol and many others. An ezine that will grow in size and content as its patron horde grows in number.”

Patreon is an interesting take on crowd funding, targeted at artists of all stripes.

[bryantpauljohnson]

Yes! Plus, I have a comic in this (and likely future) issue(s)!

Another panel from my forthcoming comic "Oh, The Beating Drum!" It'll be part of Epidiah Ravachol's sword and sorcery magazine Words Without Master (a melange of prose, art, comics and games!).

Work in progress for a sword and sorcery comic I'm doing!

An illustration I did for my niece. Hermione and the basilisk (her favorite character from Harry Potter. Hermione, not the basilisk, that is.).
