Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Ryan Stegman

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

Eventually it all returns to busty girls and robots. This interpretation of the WOZ characters was done by Ryan Stegman for the cover of Midnight Kiss #2 published by Markosia.

This is my interpretation of the characters from the Wizard of Oz if they suddenly became much tougher and grittier than in the movie. This was actually the cover for issue 2 of Midnight Kiss and these characters play a HUGE role in the book. If you look closely, you will notice that there is a shadow over the picture and frame, and a very slight reflection in the glass. Can you figure out who it is? I’m not telling!

Colors by Kieran Oats, who colors almost all of my work.

Looks cool, Tin woodsman is a step away from being an Ozian robot-in-disugise.
