Description
An illo that Ryan Kinnaird and I did for the videogame magazine PSM, to accompany an article about fantasy RPG games in general. Me on the line art, Ryan on the colors.
Side note: Two of the characters in this illo were also part of BLOOD OF THE MAGI, a fantasy comic I pitched to Wildstorm/DC as a Cliffhanger project years ago... The "elf spellcaster" at far left was MAGI's lead character, though in a considerably less "racktastic" incarnation (to contrast with her more buxom co-star, who was based on "Skaya", the former lead character from yet another defunct project, CANNIBAL SUN).
The blonde, bloodied "healer" at right was also a minor character in BLOOD OF THE MAGI; furthermore, a version of this character appeared in the great Carla Speed McNeil’s story in the SEXY CHIX anthology from Dark Horse. We’d had a number of lengthy e-mail discussions about the “happy healer” (who magically tinkers with her own neurochemistry to STAY happy), so I gave my blessing when Carla did a bloody and very funny story about how the healer might carry out her work.
Check the journal entry "FAILED-PROJECT FRIDAY: BLOOD OF THE MAGI" for more details.

"PSM Makes the Ultimate RPG"
This is the color image. There are other 3 black and white images from the article are on the site here as well.
I found the Bloody Healer the most unique and striking. The memory stuck with me for years and I had to find the source of this story. Literally years of on and off searching and I finally found it here. Thank you so much for posting this art on this site. I was able to pick up a few copies of the magazine and read the article again.
