I hoped this would create the albino effect I was looking for while still allowing me to draw a mostly shadowy, low lit image. My purpose in using a negative reference image while drawing with black ink on white paper was that I would be able to scan and create a negative image of my final drawing this way the inked fur of the gorilla would be white instead of black. I first did a few gorilla studies to get in the mood and shake off any rust from my art muscles. This presented an interesting challenge to me, as the easiest way to depict something as albino is to show it in bright light as mostly white, but I wanted to do a more shadowy drawing since the apes would be encountered underground in a dungeon environment. Attempts to charm them rarely succeed and experimental apes gain a +4 bonus to all saving throws against mental domination." Experimental apes are conditioned to be fiercely loyal to the Plated Mage and the Mage-Engineers, and seldom flee from combat. spells or suffer an additional 1d8 points of damage.

These magical/mechanical arms possess great strength (equal to that of an ogre). " Experimental apes are double-sized albino gorillas that have two additional arcanitech arms grafted to their bodies below their natural upper limbs. Once I claimed that picture as mine, Michael sent me the following details: I have had soft spot for great apes with cybernetic implants ever since. I introduced bionic chimps and orangutans into my Mutant Future campaign ( War Chimps and Warangutans) and they were a big hit with my players. I looked over the list of potential illustrations and " Albino Apes with Cybernetic Type Implants" caught my eye. I ended up using kind of an unusual technique in this drawing, so I wanted to post about the process here. I never spend any time on artwork unless I have some specific project motivating me, but I always enjoy the hours spent when I do pick up pen and lay it to paper. I drew the Ogre Face Arch (the image on the Stonehell tee-shirts) and Coal the Black Bear in the original Stonehell Dungeon, and was very happy to oblige Michael with a new piece. I recently finished a fun piece of commissioned art, depicting an Experimental Ape from Michael Curtis' upcoming Stonehell 2.
