Another ad libitum piece for the  Sorcerer Upgrade Kickstarter “Ed Heil draws your demon” reward level.

I don’t know what this thing’s “need” is, I just hope it’s not “eyeballs.”

Another drawn for the  Sorcerer Upgrade Kickstarter “Ed Heil draws your demon” reward level!  This one was freestyled as well.

More for the storied Sorcerer Upgrade Kickstarter “Ed Heil draws your demon” reward level!  At this point in the Kickstarter, we had a few people who had not engaged in the main part of this reward level — making a character and their demon together with Ron. So at this point I just started making up and handing out demons, ad libitum.  (Though I did get a request for “something tigerlike, like a dark Hobbes” for the second – thanks Charlton! — and I ran with that, with a dose of the D&D Rakshasa, the Goetic demon Sitri, and the demon Bialgesuard from the graphic novel “The Price” by Jim Starlin.)   As for the Masked Lady, she just happened while I was sketching, I don’t know where she came from.

Yet another for the Sorcerer Upgrade Kickstarter “Ed Heil draws your demon” reward level!  This little creature emerges from the shadows.  I didn’t actually draw everything dark and shadowy, I just used linework that disappeared into the air. Maybe I was being lazy, but I was thinking of a wonderful illustration by Liz Danforth of the Shadowjack from the back cover of Monsters! Monsters! — so it wasn’t just laziness.

Another is for the Sorcerer Upgrade Kickstarter “Ed Heil draws your demon” reward level.  The demon Artesia is a self-aware piece of software, which runs on multiple devices at once and helps her sorcerer create mystical and surreal multimedia performances.

Another Sorcerer demon for the “Ed Heil draws your demon” level of the Sorcerer Upgrade kickstarter.  This is a demonic sketchbook.  Anything you draw in it, even with a ballpoint, is drawn in DRIPPING BLOOD.  Ooooooo….

Another Sorcerer demon for the “Ed Heil draws your demon” level of the Sorcerer Upgrade kickstarter.

Today I drew a few more Sorcerer demons for the “Ed Heil draws your demon” level of the Sorcerer Upgrade kickstarter.    I think I’ve finished them all, though there’s a few I haven’t posted yet and will be doing so forthwith!

Here follow: “Lilith,” a former sorceress, now probably a corpse housing a demon. A parasitic shadow demon summoned by a mid-level manager.  And a mad Classics professor’s evil little broken Sumerian statuette!

Another Sorcerer sketch.  This sorceress has a demon living inside her which is useful in exposing authoritarian abuses.  Based on photo reference my friend Danielle, who’s awesome.

Yet another demon for the “Ed Heil draws your demon” level of the Sorcerer Upgrade kickstarter!

I was given picture reference for this one.  I was given a slinky devil girl and a huge grim black-rock-and-magma demon, and the demon was supposed to be a mix of them.  And for the sorceress I was given a picture of this sort of Gothic-Lolita girl with a lollipop, and the sorceress was supposed to be somewhere between her and the protagonist of Lolipop Chainsaw.  Quite a mix!  Image after the cut.
