Cloaker
My eleventh #Inktober drawing is a classic #DungeonWorld monster, the cloaker.
I’m just seven days away from the beginning of the 24 hour Extra Life board game marathon that I choose with my wife. This is my 11th drawing for #Inktober. I am pretty far from my fundraising goal for this year. If you have liked my drawings so far, please consider sparing a couple of bucks towards Riley Hospital by sponsoring me this year. It’s amazing how a couple of bucks can help me reach my goal. You’ll have my sincerest thanks. If I reach my goal, I’ll shave my beard and post pictures and I’ll keep posting pictures until I have shared at least thrifty one. That’s twenty more to go.

Thursday’s drawing is a a classic, the cloaker. It looks like a cloak even when it wraps itself around you and eats you. It seems like almost anything could be a monster back during D&D’s origins. I wanted to make the cloaker more intimidating and I am happy with the results. I see the cloak as a limited dimensional gateway on its inside, allowing a creature full of teeth to manipulate it and attack it’s prey from within it’s confines. Maybe the first cloaker was a bag of holding that someone tried to make into a cloak, thinking they’d be clever, and instead got more than they bargained for.
I hope you like my attempt at drawing my take on this monster from the core rulebook.
I’m participating in #Inktober this year leading up to the annual 24 hour #ExtraLife game marathon that I have been running in late October with my wife for the last five years. I’m going to draw monsters, weapons, and magic items from the #DungeonWorld rulebook and from the Dungeon World Codex (http://codex.dungeon-world.com).
If you like the drawings and would like to support me in Extra Life this year, you can donate to my campaign at http://www.extra-life.org/participant/jimjones.
You have my sincere appreciation if you do.
All the money that I raise goes directly to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, Indiana. My youngest daughter, Rogue, had a life saving cranial reconstruction surgery at Riley when she was just a little over one year old. Today, she is a happy and healthy almost six year old who is thriving in kindergarten.
Let me know what you think.
