*FOR EYES ONLY*

I’m writing this for my own safety. A dedicated record of the beings who will probably in some way bring about my downfall. There are three listed here, in descending order of potentially causing my doom. They are the villains to my super-barbarianism.

- Darwin

Name: Allison Skancel

 Aliases:  Darwin’s Public Enemy Number 1, Kevin’s Roadie, and sometimes aliases starting with either the letter ‘B’ or ‘S’.

 Bio: A wealthy heiress, who enjoys buying people and shoes, she became one of Kevin’s roommates just so she could get into his panties. Hatred of her may be the one thing that could possibly bind Kendra and Darwin together.

Super Powers: Banshee Death Talk, Mass of Cleavage, and The Ability to Afford Assassins.

 Name: Ronny “Hotdog” Fiveo

 Aliases: Hotdog, Rumble-Belly

Bio: A big-city transplant who won the local hotdog eating championship, he loves puppies, Allison’s boobs, and long conversations about fictional martial art moves. Kind of heart and gullible, he is often taken advantage of by both people and literature, and may be the only man alive to have read all 24 parts of the handbook: “How to Be A Ninja and Fight Crime”.

Super Powers: Lifting Heavy Objects and Destroying Logic

 Name: Steve

Aliases: Creepy

Bio: Having suddenly appeared one day without anyone really knowing where he came from, he is the most mysterious of all of Kevin’s roommates.  He rarely speaks, and when he does it’s as short as possible. Oddly enough, sounds of a dog barking can often be heard coming from his room late at night.

Super Powers: Vanishing Into Thin Air, Looking As If He Could Kill Someone, and Making All The Peanut Butter Disappear.

Steve joined on with the Brother’s Malarkey when they needed them most, as the swarms of horrible Slimblines an even smellier cousin to Crablins, were threatening to overwhelm the party. The Slimblin’s acidic sweat had already eaten through the parties weapons and only Oscar’s fists and Vincent’s magic held them back. Although the Brother’s would never admit it, Steve’s archery skills saved them all that day.

As the brother’s got to know him, and got over their own hatred of humans, they found him to be a recluse more at home in silence than with conversations. They only thing that seemed to break Steve’s shell was his love of non-human woman. After Dromar caught Steve in bed with a distant Dwarven cousin, the infamous rogue Elhondra Thunderthighs, the party came close to fracturing but Oscar managed to broker a deal that would see Steve stay on as long as he began the five-year process to marry Elhondra.

The oldest of the three Malarkey brothers, Oscar inherited his father prodigious strength and resolve and none of the wits of either of his parents. Given to being both friendly and trustworthy, he is often taken advantage of, especially by the machinations of his youngest brother Rygar. Trained at an early age by his father in the fine art of blacksmithing, Oscar created his own set of armor created from various scraps and a sculpted hammer, that he lovingly engraved as “The Hammer”.

Haven’t had time to work on Malarkey Brothers, been busy working on a 3 panel comic for the World of Warcraft comic contest. If it doesn’t win I’ll post the comic here in a few weeks, and if it does win I’m sure you will all hear about it, although my shouts of joy may alert my neighbors first.

Kevin’s roommates are about to make an appearance, character design sketches are below. Did these on paper, which is unusual for me, but my parents were visiting. My laptop can’t quite keep up these days with what I need to do with Illustrator, so I brought out all the old sketch pad and drew these while my parents and I watched a few movies and visited.

Caves Under Here are the deep dark places that even the burly Dwarves fear to tread. One of the most fearsome dangers found there are the Crablins. Given to sporadic explosions of infestations followed by long periods of hibernation, they can appear at almost any time. Unable to talk to each other, the lonely Crablins strive to find other races to befriend. If even a word is spoken to them, the Crablin will consider a friendship struck and follow the victim until they day they die. This might not be considered a bad thing if it wasn’t for the Crablin’s constant need to converse, help, and ask questions. Infected Dwarves have been known to take their own lives rather continue living with Crablins.

Two characters from the beginning of this issue will be coming back soon, and I’ve updated their looks as my style has changed considerably in six months that the comic has been running. Below are some quick sketches of the original versus the new. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Another preview of my comedic fantasy comic. This is one of five main characters. Smallpipe halflings live in cities made entirely of ceramic pipes. Since Smallpipe Halfling males are often made fun of for their names, they tend to be suspicious of others and have rather large ego issues. Most that leave their home nest of pipes find violent occupations. Their northern cousins, the more animalistic, Halfpipe Halflings eat anyone taller than them, and are known for their raging barbarian hordes mounted upon the backs of low flying board shaped birds called Skittles.

I wrote a novel during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) called The Brother’s Malarkey. It was inspired by my DnD game, that I run every Mondays. Since NaNoWriMo finished, I’ve been flushing out and re-writing the novel, however the further I get into it the more I feel like making it into a comic instead. I’ve been sketching it out slowly to test out what the characters would look like,  below is a rough sketch of one of the main characters and the god that he follows.
