Sometimes I play a game called Genshin Impact. I decided it was time for me to draw my main character, Jean Gunnhildr. This game is done in an anime style, so the Dennis Jones Jean looks pretty different than the Xbox game Jean. Here’s… Continue Reading “Jean Gunnhildr”
One last “then and now” before I get back to doing real work. I did this illustration back in the ’90’s. I can’t remember now what this bear was supposed to be… he’s wearing some sort of samurai outfit, has a viking braid, a… Continue Reading “Bear With Me”
Sometimes a warrior can only trust his faithful hamster who has a brilliant mind and a brave heart.
My favorite kind of game to play on the Xbox is a third person, open world game where you get to customize a unique character and then wander around aimlessly in a giant world looking for adventure. I just started a new game, spent… Continue Reading “Elden Ring”
