Fan fanart

Christian Conkle (a.k.a. Evil Schemer) posted some Encounter Critical fanart over at the official yahoo group. Very cool stuff. So cool, in fact, that I printed a couple for my daughter and I to color. Here are the results, starting with my daughter's work. First we have a Manion Devil. I had begun work on the suction cups when she snatched this one out of my hand and finished it.

While she was working on the Manion Devil, I started coloring the trim on the Bee Girl Queen's robe. Again she swiped the picture and finished it herself.
All hail the Bee Girl Queen!
The cave ooze below was colored with a single crayon, a Coloriffic Swirly, that has several colors mixed together in a single stick. I rather like the effect.

Finally, here's my Bee Girl. I used another Swirly crayon on her boots, but the effect turned out more subdued than I had hoped for. I was trying to show her wearing Phasic Boots, whatever those might be. Also, I should have gone with a deeper green for the gloves.
Big thanks to Christian for uploading his fab drawings!

    Back when I first started gaming, I meticulously colored in about half the illustrations in my Monster Manual. As neatly as I could, with colored pencils, paying careful attention to the descriptions (or, in the case of the kirin, the Japanese beer label pictured in another book I owned!)

    I still sort of wish I'd followed through and finished them all. I suppose I could do it now, but coloring in a hardback game book at 33 is somehow not the same as doing it at 12.

    Lawbag, that's a great idea!
