I’ve been slacking on artwork because I’ve made a lot of progress writing lately. To show that I haven’t completely forgotten good old SPF, here’s a beastie for you to use. The jackal spider is an enormous species of spider, previously unknown to man because of their feeding method. The jackal spider injects a venom [...]

“You!” she charged at him, her parasol struck him repeatedly but he barely flinched. “Siegfried, why is she here.” He turned his attention to her “This isn’t a playground for little girls.” She glared at him. “Mr. Adler, since my father is missing, and I am his only heir, that makes this my property. Please [...]

One. . . Two. . . Three. . . “What are we doing here boy? There’s nothing here!” Harold nearly shouted. “Sir, you try my patience. I have hired you for the skills you do possess, not the ones you do not. One of which being the ability to correctly assess this situation.” Griffin replied [...]

The huge barreled pistol boomed. Pointed straight at Emily, the impact of the bullet knocked her right over. There was no way to survive a gunshot like that. Siegfried was on top of Coffer a quarter of a second later, pummeling him with his huge fists. The old man kept up his arms doing his [...]

The sound was so loud that Griffin had to pull the earflaps off. “Something just happened, we might have to go in.” He suggested. Harold just grinned. He wanted to go in and smash the place an take what they wanted but Griffin had got in his way. Jake looked worried. “It’s day, can’t go [...]
