MouseGuard Portraits

Commission 2:  Fresh Baked Surprise

This requires some explanation, I suppose… Actually not related to Dreakmeepers in any way.

As it happens, I have finally developed a hobby (besides drawing) in which I actually indulge on a regular basis.

No, not shaving-

Roleplay!  I tend to get this strange guilty sensation whenever I do something fun that doesn’t involve developing Dreamkeepers, but my culpability is mollified by the fact that I continue to draw Volume 3 as I play.  But that’s beside the point:

Mouseguard, for any who haven’t heard of it, is a really charming graphic novel series by some other guy named David: http://www.davidpetersen.net/mouseguard/index.htm

 Incidentally, it’s also been developed into a roaringly fun roleplay game.  http://www.mouseguard.net/books/role-playing-game/

It’s notably attractive to me because the game tends to focus more on character, motive, and story rather than adding XP points to reach a mathematical level of inane godhood.  Character driven stuff tends to get my motor cranking.

So as me and a close group of friends have been playing together for some time, I finally caved in to my desire for an indulgence of ’just for fun’ art and sketched up some quick portraits of our characters.  

From top left to right they are:

Jim, steadfast and questionably unenthusiastic patrol leader:
Seelah, a calm presence when she’s not fanatically wielding a halberd into a weasels’ face:
Gawain, tender paw in training under Seelah, master of angst and body counts disproportionate to his size:
Rifter, the somewhat jittery but brilliant doctor:
And Tug the Idiot Juggler, aka Sliver, wanted for murder and adopter of many guises in the pursuit of clearing his name.  

And since there was a blank spot, have a map.

Mouse Guard RPG FTW. :D Wooooooooooooo.

Also... any reason you tagged this post 'dreamkeepers'? You specifically said it has nothing to do with it. :D Up to you, of course, just looked odd, heh.

Heh, probably just out of habit honestly...  And I suppose because our account identity is 'Dreamkeepers', the term can sometimes be used interchangeably to mean the Dreamkeepers comic, or the Dreamkeepers artists.  Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  E D

Ha, 'just for fun' is the best kind of sketches. This reminds me very strongly of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Ever read his work?

Why yes!  I quite like his books.  When I first heard of Mouseguard actually, that was the connotation I made - "It's like Redwall, but just with mice... That's kinda cool."  X D
