Tower of Mists

Another piece for Heroes of Hellas.

The Fox and The Bull have finally reached the fabled Tower of Mists, but what do the ancient spirits hold in store for them?
And will they ever let them leave..?

A two player escalating dungeon of shifting puzzles, riddling spirits and angry wraiths.

Interesting fact, fact-fans: this is actually a tribute to another version which I lost.
Twice.
I wish Sketchbook autosaved.
The first one was much better, honest. You can never recapture that first time, though...

Heroes of Hellas: The Ruins

A bold, young demigod on a quest to discover his true nature leads his companions deep into the earth, to a realm which once was and is best left forgotten.

For in the shadows stir dark beasts and darker gods from an age long ago...

'The Gates of Mycenaea', Heroes of Hellas RPG

Here's another scene done for the forthcoming Heroes of Hellas RPG.
All done on htc desire phone in Sketchbook Mobile with my finger.

I know it's not what actual Mycenaea looked like, but it's similar to the spirit of it and fits in with the epic fantasy version of the Hellas rpg.

TMNT The Shredder!

A spate of grizzly killings plagues the nights of New York City! Bodies are found horribly mutilated by a,serial killer the press are calling: "The Shredder!"
Oroku Saki was the top killer of the Ashi Clan. His brother, Nagi, ruled with Hamato Yoshi until the love of a woman drove them apart. Yoshi was forced to kill an enraged Nagi and then fled Japan after a vicious assault by Saki and his soldiers.
Saki then assumed comlete control of the clan and turned it into a private army. Driven by visions of his rise to power over the world, he formed Ashicorp as a front for his schemes and made bargains with dark powers. One of which was the mysterious TCRI corporation and it's head, General Kang.
Saki managed to track down Yoshi a few years later in New York. Blinded by rage, he ignored the path of fate and pursued him to his hiding place. He murdered him , but in the process was scarred by Yoshi's pet rat who escaped and on that fateful day, the TCRI truck he was meant to be guarding was caught up in a traffic accident, spilling it's mutagenic cargo into the sewers.
As all ninja know, there are no coincidences...

TMNT The Foot

(It's funny 'cause I typed that wrong and it originally said "The Foof". Sounds like an all types of awesome supervillain!)

Legend has it The Foot were founded when two friends, Hamato and Oroku, killed a demonic dragon plagueing the countryside. They were trained in the mystic traditions of the ninja by the Tengu, mystic crow-men who speak to the wind and first taught men swordplay. Ninja love their legends and, while true or not, the Ashi ('foot') Clan have always been run by the elders of the Hamato and Oroku families, each wielding one of the twin Tengu Swords, ninjato with bone hilts (said to be carved from the bones of that dragon).
Today, The Foot ninja are soldiers of a private army, having fielded in Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East. AshiCorp is a security contractor who has recently moved into the US. They run the security at TCRIs New York facility; another company shrouded in mystery.
Design-wise I wanted to go for a 'practical ninja' look. Urban combat, body armour, thermal lenses. They use ninjato and silenced small arms. Experts in infiltration and counter-surveilance.  21st Century Ninja. Genuine 'Future Soldiers': this is Oroku Saki's vision.

TMNT Casey Jones

Casey has always been my favourite. I like it that he's a bit of a nutter. He has no glorious origin story; he just teaches himself lots of martial arts and goes out and beats up criminals. Design-wise, he doesn't need much doing: just a bit of a cooler mask, hood, darker clothes, all to give a bit more menace. His fighting style will be various bits if boxing, kung fu, karate, thai boxing mixed with some good stick skills; kali, escrima, etc. He'll be pretty fast, pretty vicious.

In our story his night patrols to combat the rise in organised crime on the streets bring him into conflict with The Foot and Raphael. He is the super of April's building and has a crush on her so watches over her and protects her when The Foot try to silence her. He teams up with the four turtle brothers to help take down the army of ninja and stop the evil alien Krang from destroying the city.
