“One Clown Short” – Character Update
Sooo – here’s what the crew of the “Røde Grøde med Fløde” originally looked like, more than 20 years ago. Not actually too bad, looking back at it, but there are a few things that I feel need work.
I’m also pretty happy with the design of Captain Assus Sa Si, except that in this image the hat is waaaay to high up on his head. Technically he does have eyes, of course, but for some reason it still looks like he’s Mr. Giant Forehead here. Go figure (and if you figure, write a comment with your findings 🙂 )
Overall, I’m pretty happy with the design for “The Great Amazo”, except for his hair and mustache. I need him to look more like a con artist (which he is) and less like a pimp. Or a waiter. Although that could come in handy for a heist…
I’m pretty happy with the design of Bullotzo Jr. He’s always been the easiest to draw, and his eye stalks give me a wonderful range of options for expressions. I will probably do his character sheet first, so stay tuned!
Dr. Todovu… I like the design of his head, although I may change the colouring of his eyes. The feet definitely need to be bigger, the arms a bit shorter, and his body probably a little chunkier.
Also, I think two legs would be good 🙂 They also need to be longer, and his upper body shorter.
Finally, Gijah. Gijah is my favourite character (don’t tell the others!), but she needs the most work. I don’t really think here eyes are the right shape, her ears are definitely too high, and I absolutely need to do something about her hair, specifically the bangles.

“The Curse of Poularia” is about to be released!
Right now I’m putting the finishing touches to my D&D 5e one-shot adventure “The Curse of Poularia” – check out the newly-finished cover art!
This is also the final week to get your hands on a free beta-testing copy here: tinyurl.com/467h3e59 – all I ask in return is feedback. I plan to publish on the 1st of September, so you only have until then to grab it.

A Major Change of Plans
So, after a really stressful start of the year, things have come to a head and I find myself without a job. On one hand that causes me a bit of anxiety (I’m over 50, so not ideal employment material by now), but on the other hand it does feel rather liberating. I have a bit of money put away, so I can afford to take some time off before looking for something else. Hell, who knows, I might even change careers! I do love software development, but I feel that the jobs are getting more and more stressful as time progresses.
Or maybe I’m just getting old 🙂
Either way, I got the news shortly after enrolling into an RPG writing workshop, so I shall use this unexpected time off to do some writing, but also to improve my artwork, with a view to possibly selling adventures or resources as a means to supplement my income. I will post here for a weekly(ish) summary of what’s happening, but you can also follow me on social media for updates as they are happening – links are in the sidebar over there —–>
