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.

Will-o-wisp

My tenth #Inktober drawing is a classic #DungeonWorld monster, the will-o-wisp

The cruel cruel will-o-wisp that preys on the human fear of getting lost in the dark woods. It offers the hope of a wandering stranger’s lantern, just out of earshot, only to play that hope in order to make those that are lost seal their fate. That’s dark.

Gnoll Alpha

My sixth #Inktober drawing is a #DungeonWorld gnoll alpha.

This is actually yesterday’s drawing. I was only able to finish it today after prepping for our Extra Life event in two weeks. I’m behind. I’m hoping to catch up through this week.

Gnolls are one of my favorite monsters. Often an adventure ends when the dungeon or castle is looted. You better hope the owner of that dungeon didn’t have a pack of gnolls on the payroll. Their trackers will find you and you won’t be ready their biggest warriors.

Triton Sub-Mariner

My fifth #Inktober drawing is a #DungeonWorld triton sub-mariner.

I had to rush this one in order to get it in on time. Today’s been a heck of a day. I decided to take a distinctly fishy approach to the triton sub-mariner. I thought it would be cool if they ranged from very fishy to more humanoid. Anyway, I decided that a large predatory fish, but not a shark, would be a good direction to model the tritons that have decided to take up arms together. Not being able to resist a bad pun, I took features of the head from the grouper. I liked the idea of these forces having armor made from shells and then thought it would be if they encouraged barnacles to to clump together as their armor.

Rust Monster

My third #Inktober drawing is a #DungeonWorld rust monster.

I like the rule book’s description of the rust monster as being blind, having cricket-like legs, and feeling around with long moth-life tendrils. I decided to add some fluffy patches to the back and joins of my version as a call back to various moths. I also figured that rust monsters might be vaguely magnetic, giving them a sense of where metal is and that the hair would protect the carapace from allowing tiny bits of rusted me to work it’s way into its joints. As another nod to moths, I made the head inexplicably kind of mimic a human skull. The black eye sockets beIN vestigial cavities of their no longer used eyes.
