Games and sketches

[avram]

Played one game of San Juan last night; old hat by now. The other game I played was new: Pirate’s Cove, a German boardgame. Each player gets a pirate ship and sails around looting and pillaging, collecting and burying treasure, gaining fame, and blowing other pirates out of the water. The game play is simple yet challenging, the chrome is fun, the mechanics suit the theme, and the game pieces are all attractive and (mostly) well-designed. If it wasn’t a great big boxed game (and $40) I might buy a copy.

I’ve been doing more sketching again, and getting back to linework and cross-hatching. Though I do think the slightly grainy drybrush look of the Pentel Color Brush worked nicely for the leather jacket in the last sketch.

I like that angry dog.

Malorne (sp?) looks like she just heard about the election.

I really like the cyclops chick. Just thought I'd mention! :)

I love the angry Chinchilla (?), Melorne, the latte sipping girl and smoking dude. :) I am way jealous of your artistic skillz!

That CIA pancakes thing? That totally happened to my uncle's friend's brother-in-law. For reals.
