Old PC Art III

It's been a long while since I did another installment of Old PC Art, but I was going through some old records of campaigns last night and I came across a real treat. It's been my pleasure to both work and hang out with Chris Moeller, a super-talented professional artist who does lots of work for DC Comics, Wizards of the Coast, and many other companies in the comics and gaming industries. Living here in Pittsburgh, Chris and I became acquainted through the nexus of Phantom of the Attic, and since then it's been my pleasure to game with him from time to time.

Back in 1996 - 1998, I was running the Doomstones campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Chris sat in for two sessions and ran a Dwarf fighter named Nirgathu the Fat. Chris' inspired role-play of his character was also accompanied by two amazing renderings that he did of him. These were done idly, as I would describe a scene, or as I was prepping some other aspect of the game. They reflect Chris' amazing ability to compose a character and invest him with a spark of life that is the hallmark of his professional work.

Without further ado, I give you, Nirgathu, the Fat!







Thanks for checking out the blog!

It's time for another installment of Old PC Art! This time around, I've dug out my good friend Matt's color sketch of three vampire characters from our early 1990's Vampire: the Masquerade campaign.



Pictured above are Matt's Brujah Vampire, Vincent Vega (far left), and my friend Shawne's Malkavian, and Bob's Ventrue.

Cleaning out some files in my basement, I came across a cache of old character sheets from various games. I decided to scan a few of them to show off some of the great artwork my players used to do to visualize their characters. Today's offerings come from my GURPS 2nd ed. phase, circa 1995 - 1998. At this time I ran both GURPS Conan (still one of the best game supplements ever) and GURPS Shadowrun (my own homebrew conversion).

This first scan is the back of my friend Matt's sheet from the GURPS SR game; he had a great character named Hack Janson, who was a Rigger (drone and vehicle specialist):





Note the little in-game notes Matt took. Very cool. I should make this dude into a miniature!


Next up we have three images from my GURPS Conan campaign, both from my buddy Shawne's Aesir Pit Fighter character. Note that Shawne is a crazy X-Men fan, and his mind never quite leaves his favorite Merry Mutants!









I have loads more of this stuff, and I will make it an occasional feature here. Sure brings back a lot of good memories!
