Caption Contest 7 Winning Prize

Here's the prize for Caption Contest 7, which was won by Ashton. It's a drawing of his father's friend, who's very ill. I think it was extremely generous and thoughtful of Ashton to think of his dad this way, I really hope they liked it. It turns out that drawing trees in ink is very hard.

An onomontoPOWia twofer

As if having to marry Deanna Troi wasn't punishment enough, Worf the Klingon now has the dubious "honor" of having his very own onomontoPOWia:

BWORF

While I am sure it's nice to be memorialized, I have to wonder if having your name be the embodiment of the sound of a giant, gas-filled fat guy exploding is all that great.

What the hell am I saying, of course that would be an honor for a Klingon! Having your name associated with exploded enemies is pretty much like winning an Academy Award for those guys. Which, given the level of acting in the Star Trek universe, is, let's face it, not going to happen.

At this point, the only thing the former Enterprise security chief has left to accomplish is to track down this "Hoogh" guy the former blimp is calling out for so he can give him a bad case of the BWORFs too.

I thought you might like to see the latest illustration I did for Jeff Mejia's "World of Broadsword" expansion. The spec was:

I'm thinking American Indian features without the American Indian accoutrement's
dark weathered skin. bald or scalp lock like a Pawnee warrior or Yul Brynner in Taras Bulba see pics
for weapons : primitive but exotic- Egyptian style axe/mace, boar spear, big ass hunting knife, short bow
clothing hide armor. leather with steel refinements maybe parts taken from legionnaires armor. not too constricting though. sturdy belt for knife, pouch, hand axe, etc.
pose: maybe crouching as if following a trail. in hot pursuit.

And here's the final illustration:

Indian style barbarian

How many feet of blood and gore would you like?

It has a nice beat and I can dance to it

If "Hypno-Hustler" isn't actually related to either "Disco Stu" from "The Simpsons" or "The Dazzler", he at least goes to the same tailor:

Hypno-Hustler

My favorite part of his costume is the big pink guitar. Because nothing says "Dangerous Villain" like Fender's "My Little Pony" series of musical instruments.
