BANDITRON Update
Protean polymath Berin Kinsman of UncleBear Media has announced an October release date for his long-awaited sci-fi comedy role-playing adventure BANDITRON: These Aren’t the Good Ol’ Boys You’re Looking For, formerly known as Bandit Run. It includes character portraits by yours truly and to prove it, here’s a preview.
Our Heroes (and Heroine)
The Dastardly Villains
The Even More Dastardly Other Villains
Circle the entire month of October on your calendar and get ready to download. The art is “world-class” and all indications are that the game text might even be marginally better! Anyway, it’s free so what do you want?
Frogtomaton!
I found this while sorting some of my old sketchbooks and I present it here for steampulp fans, if anyone’s still into that.
The Frogtomaton is some sort of mechanical monster, probably the result of a twisted genius meddling in God’s domain in a misbegotten attempt to wreak unholy vengeance on a world that dared to call him mad, like they do. I imagine it travels like its namesake, but with more crushing. The hiss of building steam, the clank of gears, a shuddering rattle, then leap!
If I ever get my grubby mitts on one of those 3D fabricators a wind-up version of this thing will be released just in time for the Christmas shopping season.
Announcing: “Bandit Run”
I’m pleased to announce that I’m illustrating an upcoming product from UncleBear Media.
Bandit Run is a lighthearted adventure for a yet-to-be-announced major RPG title. It’s a parody of the classic Smokey & the Bandit films with a Space Western flavor in which players take on the roles of loveable smugglers and rogues on the run from the corrupt authorities. I’m providing portraits of the various agonists. There’s much more to it but the lawyer behind me is already clearing its throat.
Look for a Q4 2010 release. More details as they develop.
Dove
In my group’s current Cyberpunk 2020 game I play “Dove”. He’s a Solo: a hired gun, assassin, and all-around non-pacifist. Physically, I based him on Brian Cox from Manhunter, then the whole group told me he looks like Scotty from Star Trek. Thanks, guys.
Dove is a product of the European corporate system. That means he’s the best of the best, an alpha predator. If he can get close to his target, guns are clumsy and messy compared to what his hands can do. Give him a gun and it’s one shot, one kill. Playing Dove, I’ve never had to reload during a firefight. He’s a killing machine.
Now where’s the fun in that? Continue reading
