Tome Grotesque Art?

[sHaka]

I'm a huge fan of Jeff Russel's art, especially his DB10: Hades work, so I went off to check out his website.

I happened to notice in his work in progress section, a series of rather nasty, cool looking beings. Initially I wondered if these were concepts for Dyval, but it became evident that these monsters weren't very Dyvalian, especially with the inclusion of that one coming out of the loo!

If you look at the last row of thumbnails, one is entitled "Trans-dimensioanl Predator II" - that creature has been used in ads for the awaited BTS-2 suppliments in the back of some of the more recent books and the colour catalogue, I believe.

If that's the case, could we be looking at some of the nasties we can throw at our hapless investigators, hopefully in the not too distant future?

Here's hoping.

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the bathroom

[Natasha]

You think that's frightening? You've never been to a Russian public loo.

But, yea, those illustrations are amazing.

[Natasha]

Happens a lot in BtS.

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the bathroom

This is getting used in a Lazlo Thread . . . watch for it.

[sasha]

I blame lather.

[Jefffar]

I blame a cherry bomb or two.

[Jefffar]

The toilet monster strikes.

[Jefffar]

The toilet monster has met it's demise.

Or has it?

[Jefffar]

By the way, was I in the wrong to tell the story of a toilet monster attack from the perspective of a 15 year old schoolgirl?

I feel like I stepped into naughty Japanese cartoon teritory.

[Natasha]

From the persective of the monster would have been wrong.

[Jefffar]

Fortunately the Toilet Monster didn't have an account.

[Natasha]

And get your mind outta the toilet.

[Jefffar]

Until the next Toilet Monster attack. . .

[Natasha]

Eww. I just had a mental image of some frat boys giving you your daily swirly. Make it stop please god.

[Jefffar]

the fun never stops with toilet monsters.

You'll never look at a porcelin bowl the same way twice.

[Natasha]

You should try a public loo in Russia some time.

You'd wish that monster was the only disgusting thing going on.

now im afraid to poop

Because of the toilet?

Just find somewhere else to poop.

Problem solved.

[sasha]

Perhaps. But it is a solution nonetheless
