Beowulf vs Grendel

‘Time and again Beowulf’s warriors… kept striking out on every side… When they joined the struggle there was something they could not have known at the time, that no blade on earth, no blacksmith’s art could ever damage their demon opponent.’

– From Seamus Heaney’s verse translation of Beowulf.

Eavesdropped – Zombies

Eavesdropped is a drawing game for 1 or more.

You play it like this:

2. Turn the first coherent comment you overhear into a picture.

3. Share the result. And you’re done!

More of Jack’s Worry

Here’s an early colour sample from when I was designing the look of the characters for Jack’s Worry. In the end I did away with a mouth for the Worry and gave it more a look of anguished blankness.

But in any case, this is how it starts to look for Jack when it starts to get really worrying.
