This, is where I would have a photo for inspiration for an art challenge. However the photo is what you NEED TO CREATE.

Paul would like his character, Oknarok from his Pathfinder game, to be immortalized in art by all of you. The reason for this is twofold, Paul wants a a portrait of his character aaaaaand wants the free hero point he’ll receive.

Oknarok is a Hobgoblin Pirate, on a crew of Hobgoblin Pirates, where he is the captain of the ship. He is a musket master who carries around a musket that deals massive damage, and is equipped with a buckler on one arm. Of course, he has a fancy pirate hat as well.

Hornswoggling Hobgoblins is the name of the campaign, that link leads you to all the information I have not supplied here.

This challenge will run until 10:00 PM PST, please submit entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line Oknarok. Please include a public name to be used if you are selected as a winner. 

Your prize for this will be The Desert Bus lot! This lot contains a massive list of Desert Bus themed items from our Crafters and Volunteers! Check out the page for a full rundown of what is contained within.

Congratulations to our winner, Marig! Jamie loves how you captured the home life of Jamie and Ranger, with added adventuring cred.

We had some truly amazing entries that made the decision process very difficult for us here at the DB Art Institute.

We’ll have our Honourable Mentions below along with all of our entries.

We have another Donation Drive up on the block. Jamie is giving away her shift’s Desert Bus for Hope 9 T-Shirt from Fangamer.
