Featured Creature: The Devil's Square, Dr. Liam Hofstadter

Drafted into the service by the the Department of Extranormal Phenomena, Dr. Liam Hofstadter has become the unwilling agent of the secretive agency.  Though primarily a man of research and writing, the longer he stays within the department the more he finds himself drawn into greater and greater physical danger.  His research and his actions within the DEP will inevitably lock him onto a collision course with the Devil's Square.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, The Bloody Gem

This mysterious gem possesses a deadly and addictive power.  To the untrained eye the gem looks much like a gaudy piece of costume jewelry.  However, when exposed to blood, the gem glows with a pulsating red light and the terrible power within it is activated.

The history of this gem will be revealed in several upcoming Devil's Square stories.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, The Ruddy Skull

A human skull covered in rust, the Ruddy Skull continually sheds flakes but never seems to lose any of its mass.  The metallic ball in the eye socket appears to be silver and is unaffected by the corrosion.  All attempts to remove the silver ball have failed.  Those who have held the skull claim to see visions of the past, of distant locations and people, and sometimes of the future.

The Ruddy Skull has not yet appeared in any Devil's Square fiction to date, but will feature prominently in an upcoming Devil's Square story.

Featured Creature: The Devil's Square, Scratch

Here we have a loose portrait of Scratch chained in his cage.  Here he's looking kind of sad and more fearful than his usual malicious, but that chain is on him for a reason.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scrag

I'm going to take a break from posting fiction for awhile.  My batteries are running very low and I need to refill.  In the meantime here is the beginning of a set of portraits of The Devil's Square.  I haven't posted much about them in awhile, but I have been working on them in the background.

Featured Creature 2012-13: Last Bites Part IV, The Devil's Crucible


Despite the globally explosive second half of April, personally, the months of March and April were the most dramatic turning point of the 2013.  I began March determined and hopeful.  I was fully recuperated from my winter illness and was now being treated at local low income clinic should any new physical illness manifest.  I felt optimistic.

Featured Creature: The Staff of Phyligor

Excerpted from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"The Staff of Phyligor is an old world artifact of immense occult power.  Physically, the staff is a simple stang approximately 5.5 to 6 feet tall.  Although the blade and base bulb seem to be made of a silver like metal, the dark material of shaft is unknown.  Those few that have observed the staff in person indicate that the full length of the shaft is inlaid in strange runes of some lustrous black metal.

Featured Creature: The Devil's Square, Hooded Figure

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium

"This hooded figure has been observed on multiple occasions interacting with the Devil's Square team.  We are unsure of its exact association with that group, but the creature is obviously other dimensional in origin. However, it does not match records of any known species currently operating within the earth sphere.

Featured Creature Bonus: Devil's Square, Scratch Portrait

Here is a portrait of Scratch from the Devil's Square.  I was in between things at the library and felt like a bit of color sketching for a change.  It was a fun challenge also as I didn't have my entire pen collection with me so my color palette was limited.  I had to create some of the colors by mixing others: one of my favorite pastimes.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Screwworm

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"Concerning the eldest member of the Devil's Square, the entity known as Screwworm seems at first to be only a simple battle Mage.  However, our research indicates a much higher level of prowess than shown in the feats he has been observed performing.  He may only be a proficient illusionist or we may be looking at one of the most dangerous magi this department has every encountered.  It is unknown if his teammates are aware of the extent of his abilities as our records indicate an acceptance of and satisfaction with his actions to date.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scrag

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium

The vampire, Scrag, was resurrected and released from his tomb by The Devil's Square. It is the assumption of this department that he was raised from his vampiric torpor with the lifeblood of the thirteen corpses found drained at the site of his tomb.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scream

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"The banshee entity called Scream is the most recent member to join the villainous extranormal group known as the Devil's Square.  Her origins are unclear at this time, but her first appearance coincides with a sighting of the group at the Novedian library archives.  DEP has deployed agents to that area, but no evidence as yet has been discovered.

Featured Creature: Devil's Square, Scratch

Excerpt from Liam Hofstadter's report for the Department of Extranormal Phenomena (DEP), Superhuman and Supernatural Threats in the New Millennium:

"Of the super villain quartet known as the Devil's Square, the pygmy creature Scratch is considered the most physically dangerous.  Often seen collared and escorted on a chain by his group, this creature's numerous escapes give clear reason for his restraint.    Despite his small stature, Scratch is lethally violent and has caused hundreds of casualties during his few encounters with humans.

From the Archives: Heads




These sketches were all drawn so close in time frame, I decided to post them  as a group.   Seeing them all together like this, they kind of look like a gang of creepy demon goblins here to cause trouble for some intrepid hero / heroine.  But who is their dark master?  hmmm...maybe I will make these guys into a super villain team.

UPDATE 031213:  To find out what dark flower grew from these sketches, check out my posts for The Devil's Square.
