A page in my sketchbook featuring our heroes…

I keep getting questions in my e-mails asking when I’m going to hold a contest, sooo … I am THIS close to dreaming up a contest and giving this original pencil sketch away, but what kind of contest… hmm … any ideas?

Some sketches and fun from a page out of the ol’ sketchbook…

An elf girl… ready for action…

A maiden from the sketchbook… perhaps works at the local inn “The Wet Gill Tavern” in Bill and Frank’s neck of the woods.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Larry Elmore, an incredibly friendly cat and one of my all-time favorite fantasy artists (or artists PERIOD, for that matter), at Dragon*Con last month. We got the chance to sit and chat for a good while, and even doodle. I’ll post some more pictures, but here’s my favorite one (the second one)… Larry, who just so happens to be a Garfield fan, laughing his arse off as I sketch him up a lil’ gift. More pictures to come from this meeting, but in the meantime, hmm… see any correlation between Larry ELMORE and the current strip? Hmmmm? A tip o’ the ol’ fantasy hat.

After the fairie strip (see Monday, 10/13), thought I’d post a doodle of another fairie out of the sketchbook…
