My Little Pony

I'm... not even kidding... 

My son Finnegan picked up the My Little Pony Role-Playing Game and I'm hoping I'll be able to convince him to run it for me and a few lucky friends... 

In the meantime, I obviously had to start sketching character concepts... I started off with a generic punk rawk pony... and then it kind of just got silly...

Generic Punk Rawk Pony... I don't have a name yet... maybe something like Annie Archie...? Ideas?

(I'm... I'm so sorry....)

Will I be doing miniatures for this game... probably not... but you never know!? 

(I did see some My Little Pony dolls at Dollarama for $3-4... I mean... that's less than your average role-playing/wargaming miniature, so....) 

Mutant Crawl Classics - Character Portraits - Wüd Kutr and B. P. Hovercraft

These are the final two characters I've made for the Mutant Crawl Classics game Finnegan is running for me and a few friends on Monday! 

Wüd Kutr is a pure-strain human gatherer. 

Wüd Kutr feels like he was destined for greater things. He comes from a long like of gatherers that forced him to follow in the family tradition. but he always wished he could be a HUNTER! So, he chose to gather the hardest, heaviest, most difficult things he could; trees.

Bartholemew Pantaloon Hovercraft  is also pure-strain human gatherer.  

B.P. is the "brains" of the operation. He's the one that's convinced his friends to join him and to strike out from the village and to try and prove themselves in a way that could elevate their position within the community and become something MORE than the simple Hunters and Gatherers that society had pushed them to accept as their lot in life. Maybe Wüd could become a Sentinel? Maybe B.P. could become a Shaman or Healer?

Mutant Crawl Classics - Character Portrait - Hunter S. Hashpipe

 Okay... I guess I could have waited and done these all in one post... but I was excited to share! So you're going to get them in FOUR posts! 

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the first one: 

Mutant Crawl Classics - Character Portrait - Sweet Pea

Mutant Crawl Classics Character Portrait #2 - Hunter S. Hashpipe. 

Hunter S. Hashpipe isn't really all THAT good at hunting... with barely average agility and not a lot of strength. Her method is to try and attract larger predators or irritate herbivores and have them chase her! She then leads them off a cliff, counting on her stamina to survive that fall - and previously scouting the drop to know where the softest places to land and counts on the predator falling badly and dying or being injured enough that it can't move and Hunter can kill it without it resisting too much. 

It's a strategy... No one has ever suggested it's a GOOD strategy... but it's put some meat on the community's tables, from time to time... 

Deep down, Hunter feels she maybe SHOULD have been a gatherer, like her other friends, being a vegetarian and all... She often ponders the circumstances and life choices that brought her to this...

Now to do the boring ones… pure-strain humans… yawn…

Mutant Crawl Classics - Character Portrait - Sweet Pea

This is Sweet Pea. 

Sweet Pea is the first in a series of portraits I’m working on for characters in an assortment of role-playing games I’m playing in or running this fall, some in-person, one online. 

This one is a character in the Mutant Crawl Classics game my son Finnegan will be running this coming Monday for me and a few friends. Sweet Pea might not survive the first adventure… With both Mutant Crawl Classics and Dungeon Crawl Classics, players generally roll up 3-5 completely random level zero characters and then they go through a “Funnel Adventure” wherein MOST of them die brutal and horrific deaths. Those that survive (ideally, one per players) are truly the stuff heroes are made of and instantly level up - to Level One! If I was smart, I might have waited to see who survived the “funnel adventure” and just made portraits of THEM… but this one seemed too fun to NOT make a portrait of. 

Sweet Pea is actually a mutant parasitic sweet pea vine that has entwined itself around and within and completely taken over the body and mind of a human host. It seems it can only say “Sweet Pea”. Somehow the others understand that to mean a great many things… The host is slowly rotting away, but the flowers make them smell pretty. Eventually, when the host expires, Sweet Pea will leave them, creeping and crawling across the ground until they find a new, unsuspecting victim host, usually one that is sleeping and won’t be able to put up much of a fight until it is much too late… 

Most of the portraits are going to be drawn in a small sketchbook I have, but I decided to do this one on a larger, separate sheet of watercolour paper. The picture ended up a little flat, though - background too dark, not nearly enough contrast… Ehhh… whatever. Done and moving on… 

Next will be Hunter S. Hashpipe - another in my group of adventurers for Mutant Crawl Classics.
