One of Many Napkin Doodles...

I've been on a Golden Axe/Altered Beast kick for the past two weeks. It finally came to a head when I finalized the design of a character that I wanted to pay homage to those precious childhood memories of mine.

I call him Baaldonis. I wanted something "demonic" and "homoerotic" in his name. I haven't figured out a complete story behind him. He'll be inserted somewhere into the Colskar story world.

I hope everyone's holidays went well. I came back from visiting family with news of me apparently being fatter than I was last year, a groomsman in my brother's wedding in 2011, and finding out my possibly gay nephew wants to be a model.

Anyhow...

Count Stollen Makes His Move

This is my Christmas gift for Dinosaur Prince. I couldn't really keep this until Christmas.

Nutcracker SWEET!: the Rat King

Here's a page out of my sketchbook, a "Demon" to contrast the dude saturated posts I have so far.

This is the Ambrosius Vermin, the sorcerer rat king who terrorizes the home world of the nutcracker soldier (let's call him Hilderic). He commands an army of heavily armored rat men, and swarms of cockroaches and fleas.

I drew from some personal influences, mainly the Skeksis from the Dark Crystal. There's also some Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible in there. To accentuate his prominence as a plague bringer, I thought of giving him shoulder pads of gas masks, old and new.

Later, I intend to give him a more comely appearance to try and seduce the "Clara" character into his service.

Also, I've been chatting with some of you about Christmas ideas, trying to get out of the "Santa Claus" box, and I'd love to hear any input you guys may have. Maybe a sexy Zwarte Piet or Krampus perhaps?
