“It’s a toga!” is inspired by the scene in the Breakfast Club where Emilio Estevez refers to wearing tights as “The required uniform”, while being ribbed about dressing up in spandex.

TCAF has come and gone for another year. I had amazing time meeting lots of great people and I drew over 100 Awesome Spirit Animals for people over the weekend. I also did a presentation on doing comic and drawing games, with CTON a fellow Owl cartoonist. Here’s a bunch of photo highlights of the festival. BTW, the first spirit animal is my own, and the first several are done for my comic friends and peers.
I hope you had fun with the A-Z of D&D Monsters. If I have the time again, maybe I’ll do a Fiend Folio Friday?
I’m going to be at the Toronto Comics Art Festival
Saturday May 5 9am-5pm
Sunday May 6 11am-5pm
It’s FREE to get in because its at the 789 Yonge St, Toronto Reference Library
It’s a great event because everyone exhibiting there is either a cartoonist, or a small press publisher. Hooray for comics!
I’ll have some mini-comics for sale, stickers, and I will be doing drawings that will be super fun. On Saturday at 3pm I’ll be teaching/playing comic games with fellow Owl Magazine cartoonist, CTON in one of the lecture rooms. Come out and say hi!
Th Yuan Ti are a race of snake-like people that appear as part serpent, part human. I didn’t really see them in action until the video game Icewind Dale which was pretty good, but no Baldur’s Gate.
I’ve played D&D since I was a teen and I’ve never, ever, encountered a xorn. I don’t think I’ve even seen one in a D&D video game. I think this is my favourite drawing of the alphabet.
I picture the wraith have smokey embers floating a midst the shadowy vapours of its corrupted essence.
I like how the V Vampire looks like two fangs. V V
Umber Hulks will mess you up because they have two sets of eyes and you don’t know which to focus on so you get confused. They are huge burrowing monsters that are related to insects.
The Ents from Lord of the Rings might have been a copyright name I guess. Maybe that’s why the D&D writers put a tree on the beginning to make them into treants. This one’s a cedar. I don’t think I’ve seen a cedar treant. I was tempted to go with fir or pine, but I’ve seen those sentient trees at Christmas time.
There were some good S monsters, like the sahuagin, but I ended up going with the mindless fungus that warns of approaching predators. Then bigger predators come know to come and eat whatever’s bothering them. If you saw a shrieker you might expect a bunch of bubgears or organization of ogres would be coming to thump you with clubs.
