Warm-up Sketch: The Dice Camera Action Ritual

Chris Perkins and the Dice Camera Action "Waffle Crew" have been killing it on their Twitch D&D game every Tuesday night. In a recent session, the party had life or death choices for three of the four party members involving a ritual with a costume and a shady ally dressed in an ominous ritualistic outfit.

Warm-up Sketch: Duke Zalto's Hammer

In the D&D 5E adventure, Storm King's Thunder, the evil Fire Giant lord, Duke Zalto, brandishes a unique great maul. The head of the weapon is hollowed out to include a prison for medium or smaller creatures. 

You can get a partial glimpse of the maul in the adventure art, which led me to curiously sketching the following:

Warm-up Sketch; Waffles vs. Stairs!

Once more, a sketch inspired by the WotC Dice Camera Action Twitch stream - another super fast ink-over-pencil sketch of Waffles the baby Owlbear.  This time with her friends, Stinky and Juniper!

I made a mad rush to finish this while the stream was still on - which is still not a good reason to use thick pens for thin whiskers! For me, the fun of doing it more than made up for the bits and pieces that are odd, or just a bit off.

Another sketch inspired by the WotC Dice Camera Action Twitch stream - a super fast ink-over-pencil sketch of Waffles the baby Owlbear.  Groooooo!

Quickly done or not, was that there is much potential for going VERY cute with the owl eyes (you can make the eyes huge, puppy dog-esque things, round out the head, etc.).  I had that in mind when I started, but I accidentally ended up steering away from that when I did the rest of the sketch.
