Monkeys of the the Monster Master?

Episode 1: The Lost Session

"Black Jack" Onyx was plying a meager trade route in the outskirts of the Callixus Sector, financed by the mid-tier trade consortium Collective Menelauis . It was consistent, if not extremely prosperous, work. On one route, while hauling grain from an agri-world, he received a distress call from a navy vessel requesting immediate assistance from all Imperial craft within hearing. By the time Onyx showed up, he discovered a badly battered Sword-class frigate making way as best she could. Investigating, he quickly discovered the ship was manned by an Eldar prize crew trying to get the captured vessel into hiding! Quickly taking stock of the situation, Onyx led his merchant crew in a boarding action against the frigate. Numbers soon told, and the vile Eldar corsairs, no doubt crew of the notorious Ulthyr Ellarion, were soon wiped out.

New Logo

ask and you shall receive...

We number an eclectic bunch of hombrés within the Minions; a school teacher, a social worker, a nuclear engineer, an network admin, and a graphic artist. The latter coming through in spades with the new, official logo you see above. This is a 'freebie' for Biscuit, since he's not signed up as an author...yet, I'll show it off for him!


a comparison between my sketch and his final version

I've dabbled in art all my life, but never had any formal training (other than a couple of ceramics classes and a painting class). I can basically get what's in my head down on paper to a fair degree, and its usually gaming and everything related to it that gets my creative juices flowing.

For the logo it looks like Biscuit (Chri3) went to this sketch for the basis of the monster master himself. It's pretty cool to see this all come together, and I'm glad he picked this one 'cause I really liked the idea of the staff in there. It's truly uncanny how he's captured the nuances of my sketches and cranked out this finished piece.

I'm hoping this blog will take off as a place for Chri3 to display some of the stuff he's working on, we can all get some inspiration from it.

Logo Sketches for the Show

What's a show without a logo?

I've been cranking out some sketches for the 'Minions' podcast on iTunes, as well as one for the blog. These are merely sketches mind you, and we'll wait on our resident artist, Biscuit, to get his claws into these and see what he comes up with.


Here's an HTML code below to add a 'Minions' badge to your own blog! Surprisingly enough, we've amassed some blog followers, so why not use this badge and spread the word on your own blogs! Hopefully you can just copy and paste it...



...and thanks to the HTML/RSS coding skills of Duck Sauce, when you visit the Minions podcast page out of iTunes, you'll find us, placeholder logo and all!
