Not long after Issue 2 of The Demon Mages was published, in the Autumn of 2011, I began a stint as a contractor with Lab Zero Games, and worked directly with Alex Ahad on Skullgirls. Artwork cleanup, a few move concepts, and a Steam trading card were my claims-to-fame.
After that time came to a close, and Skullgirls premiered, my contracting work continued with brief assignments, successes and failures alike. Contributions to projects from Imagos Softworks ...

The closest incarnation of "The Demon Mages" as a real, tangible thing was the two-issue miniseries, published by Angry Viking Press in 2008 and 2010 respectively.
Issue 1 was the first meeting between Ziggy & Ari. A chaotic mess of clandestine plotting between Ziggy and her partner Roman, vs. the crafty Rauschen and his two goons Beck & Surt. Ruining the stage premier of the new starlet Ari was not how Ziggy was...

Leave it to the most glamourous of the Demon Mages to have a fashionably late art collection.
Ari's canon birthday may have been on a Friday the 13th this time, but you Patrons luck out; 32 images -- nearly half of them are *exclusives!* Favorite pics & sketches and a spicy set of extras are inside!
Ari really *is* generous after all -- but don't let this chance pass you by...

Nearly seven feet tall, and every bit the work of art she says she is. Ari's canon birthday is today! Here's a short sampler for everyone! She's so generous.

Ziggy may be the leader, and Ari has her legion of fans... and most people, even if they don't know "The Demon Mages" -- they tend to favor Tess the most.
But if there's one character that's the most important to the DM's and what I'd always planned for them -- no question, it's Tara.
Tara is the last of the canonical four DM's, made about a year or so after the start of the project. Sadly, I don't...

This one's for your eyes only, Patrons!
August 1st, 2001: After a month or so of messing around with an English patch of RPG Maker 2000 on PC, I had built up enough of a map and scenario with a old story I'd written in high school.
But, I needed sub-bosses. I had placeholder enemy sprites from the base game, but while playing with the scripting to have dialogue banners... the characters started to take on life of t...

THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 1st ON PICARTO AT 9:30PM
On August 1st, 2001 just before midnight, I started plotting a scenario in RPG Maker 2K that would become my longest standing property, "The Demon Mages."
So, this Sunday we'll:
-Finish the DM's Summer desktop and get going on a proper 2021 group picture!
-Revisit painfully old artwork of Ziggy, Ari, Tess & Tara and see how much has changed!
-Take a new tour and freshen up the virtual...

Apologies, folks; I likely aggravated something in my drawing arm/neck earlier this week, and today was a bruiser just to get anything going. I'll recoup losses tomorrow and stream starting at 8:30/9pm; there's a couple more pics to work on and salvage the week.
Dance and sing with Kinny in the meantime, and I'll be back ASAP!

Real quick, real important:
1) "THE DEMON MAGES" turns ***20*** on August 1st! It's both a very happy and very solemn month for me -- so to celebrate, I'm doing a completely DM's themed "open house" of posts, AND all Patrons get a month off from billing! It's all to make room for what I'd like to accomplish by about Thanksgiving time...
2) In advance of that, I want to absolutely clear the list of ongoing rewards as much as possible this month. ...

It's been a brutal one outside this week. It'd be nice if it was cute & sexy witches dancing, but noooooo...
I hope everyone's kept their cool and stayed safe if things were dangerous!
For this week, I'm taking a pause from streams, and will be back on Tuesday -- some reward posts and extras for the 4th will round out the weekend. Take care and see you soon, folks!
