Just another ridiculous Ultima pun. You either get it or you don’t.

Another Denis Loubet illustration. I took some sketchy liberties with this one. Not much to say today.
Argentrock Isle (sort of…)
Reference: Argentrock Isle
Another Loubet illustration today. This one is from Ultima VIII, the game my mother wouldn’t let play as a kid because it had a pentagram on it. >_>
Anyway, I took some liberties with this one. And by “liberties” I mean “I didn’t do a good job of planning and proportions went to hell.” Oh well. I really wanted to draw the clouds but I didn’t leave enough room for them. Derp.

Some days I feel like drawing something utterly ridiculous. Today is one of those days.
Quick Scene from Hyrule

Just a quick sketch today, not a lot of time. About 10-15 minutes.
Vultures! -or- How Did a Bird Get the Sigil of Justice?
Reference: Vulture
Back to some hero worship drawings today. This is another of Denis Loubet‘s illustrations. This one is particularly from Ultima IX. I always enjoyed killing monsters in UIX and then picking off the vultures when they came to feed on the carcass. Repeat ad nauseam.
The Guardian Comes Through The Black Gate

Because of that silly optionally captioned intro you can watch in Serpent Isle, I always see this in my mind when the Guardian is making his way into Britannia.
Mr. Thorse

Yesterday during lunch, I was conversing with some of the new hires about the drawings and calligraphy I do around the office. I asked a particular person what she wanted to have drawn on her white board and she said,
“A tiger! Or a horse!”
I struggled to come up with a silly portmanteau for tiger and horse, but it wasn’t happening. Then the other person we were sitting with blurted out,
“THORSE!”
This, of course, cracked my shit up and filled me with ridiculous mental images. Turns out, there already is a somewhat popular Thorse image out there, but I like mine better.
If I could do it again, I would changed the text to “I didn’t smite it” instead of “I won’t smite it.” *shrug* For those of you that don’t get the reference, first of all, shame on you. Second of all, here, watch this.
Captchalogue Card Pipe Thing
I (finally) discovered Homestuck (as if it needs more free advertisement…) last night and I’ve wanted to get back to it all morning at work. To help satiate my longings, I drew a silly, unrelated, and random sketch on a Captchalogue Card. *shrug*
Happy Monderp.
Little Sketches! (Dragon, Runes, Serpent, Skeleton, Sword)
References: Sword, Skeleton, Ultima VII Runes
Today’s sketches are on lots of little pieces. You’ll see why on Friday. 😉
The Fabulous Dragon is an original sketch, the runes are an interpretation from the Ultima VII pixel graphics, the sword is based loosely on a Denis Loubet illustration, the skeleton is based strongly on a Denis Loubet illustration, and the long serpent is just a silly version of a silver serpent.
