The Heroes and Zeroes - The Merchants

Every society has it's underclass and every fantasy setting has its red shirts. Unfortunately for the merchant class of the Ye Olde Interdimensional Marketplace it appears they are destined to fill both roles for forever and a day. Unable to retaliate due to their lowly status as NPCs they have no choice but to serve the cruel and somewhat delusion masters that are the marketplace patrons.

Rumour has it they're in it for the off chance they'll be be one of the ones who gets a ten thousand gold tip for pouring a cup of coffee.

Kim's Art Hearbreaker. My gallery is becoming entirely too Nic orientated, now you can see what this fell temptress looks like for yourself.
Guest Art Flirting gone wrong... Nic made this piece showing that cats don't necessarily have short attention spans, just perhaps occasionally short (and selective) memories.
Adult Art Caught Another beautiful gal snared and held in a compromising position with a set of ropes.
Concept Art Jardel's Design Sheet Quick reference to know who may or may not be killing you some time soon. It won't help you survive, but damn it looks pretty.

Quote of the Moment
"But I will enjoy stretching out again, and playing. Playing without purpose. Which is basically how I started all of this stuff, when I was giving names and attributes to my crappy platic toy soldiers at the age of six. All creative stuff, it starts in play.
Try and play. Try and have fun."
- Alan Moore

Web comic of the Moment Devil's Panties Okay. I confess. I read a chick comic. However it's tremendously entertaining chick comic by a girl who, despite spelling worse than I do, has just started publishing her own run of the same titled comic.

Art site of the Moment The Art of Natascha Roeoesli As well as having more vowels in her last name than anyone I've ever seen before Natasha also greats absolutely brilliant pieces of fantasy art while maintaining a sense of humor and humility about herself.

RPing site of the Moment Mongoose Publishing Conan, Judge Dredd and Paranoia ... how can so much awesomeness be contained by one publishing company? I don't know how they do it but they stock many fine products, including a game that lets you kick people from a speeder bike.
