Sketch book: ESS Staff.

I spend a not insignificant amount of time in the main branch of the New York public library doing work on ESS side projects.  Just like both my internship and night job it involves a lot of filing and data entry.  So I was doodling in the N. Tep offices and Mr. Tep thought my cartoons were quaint and demanded I put them up.  Demanded at sword point, which was new...

Krystal.

Krystal's one of the ESS R&D people.  On her off time she basically lives in a chunk of the ESS stacks she claimed when Dr. Jones hired her.  She does a LOT of research into Fay and the Children of Oberon.  She also has an obsession with a figure she calls "the color thief."

Since world travels are drawing me away from the offices for a few days, I should be able to keep up a buffer...

If posts stop for more than a week, leave a note on the left paw of 'Patience'.  It needs to be inscribed with the Angel's sigil of the day the last post went up.  It needs to be addressed to "N. Tep Esq." and must have the numerals 3-19-27-57 on it somewhere...

Just in case, you see.

Also: in my stead, should it be required, Ali W. of the ESS will be assisting in posts.

You guys will like her, she's unusual.

Sketch book: Monsieur.

I think he lives in the same portion of my brains as the bird-headed doctor...

Monsieur likes light-bulbs, but is curious about what happens when they're dark and cold.  Are they still light-bulbs or are they dark-bulbs?

...A dark-bulb sounds like an awesome invention.  To the labs!

Old sculptures: Headus Crabus, the common headcrab.

Who here has played Half Life or Half Life 2?

...

Really?  No one?

Well, Half Life is a shooter that centers around the physicist Gordon Freeman(he can kick your ass).  Mostly, Dr. Freeman finds himself fighting off hostile aliens, mutated humans and other sci-fi baddies.

The enemy everyone loves to hate is the head crab.

We hate them so much!

These things look kinda harmless, don't they?

"SCREEE!"

HOLY CRAP!  

They screech and jump at you, trying to couple with your head and turn you into a horrible zombie thing.

So, of course, I had to make one eventually.

Look out!  He'll eat your brains!

But no one's gonna eat your eyes...

Sketch book:

My buddy Zach wants to do a comic collaboratively about the end of the world.  So, here's Fenrir, alos one of the Dragons of the Bible.

Also:

Jörmungund, the Midgar serpent.

Sketch book: The Ringlady and the Brigand.

If you read the Dapper Cat Carnival story, you might follow me on this....

Even though it's not perfect in terms of anatomy....
