The esteemed Burzok Foundation has long compiled a collection of some of the most illustrious figures in the mercenary world for your perusal and employment, and with this cycle we bring you yet another edition of the Handbook. It is hoped that with the aid of any of these talented and dangerous personages, your perilous journey through the stars will be rendered a far easier one." - Maximillian Burzok, Trade-Lord of The Twelfth House

The perennial champion of the underdog, when resources are thin and the situation most dire, his skill and expertise can be had for nothing more than the opportunity to immortalize the struggle in song
Cocq Massif rescues a riveting damsel from the clutches of danger
Sklld and Locquital Thrip-Thrap engage in a heated firefight, somewhere in the intestinal corridors of a beseiged interstellar freighter
Some of the characters and illustrations I made for Burzok's Mercenary Hadbook, a collaboritve worldbuilding book in the style of the old Barlowe's Guides of the 1980s and '90s. The team was myself, Rob Wood-Peters, Ollie Schirmacher, and Alain Gruetter. We crowdfunded the thing through kickstarter and it ultimately ended up being, in my opinon, pretty successful. We made a little over a month's worth of minimum wage each, and people seemed to dig it so I'll call that a win. Definitely some of my favorite character designes I've ever done.
