Anvils n’ Antics
A while back someone introduced me to a role playing game in the same vein of DnD, called 'Toon' where you take the role of playing as cartoon characters - Basically, the most Bryn game ever conceived!
I took this one step further (because of course I did) and made an entire lore document for a Roger Rabbit-styled Toon town, that combines bits and pieces from animation history and other cartoons that have used the 'animated actor' trope.
My friends made their characters: M.Knight, Anna and Kala.
And I played every other character - but (for lore reasons) as a bonus challenge to myself, I deliberately recycled less known cartoons, mascots and illustrations to use as NPC's
The audio ain't that great, but you can listen to the episodes here:

M.Knight Watchman
a rubberhose styled night watchman, with an unseen face, that is conveniently always obscured by something. He is played by @joshuamartian_art
M.Knight Watchman
The Shōnen samurai from japan, wielding her sub-par katana, Anna has altered her apearence to be very loud and in your face, so as not to be stuck as a background character. She is played by @nonpanary
Kala Blood-Diamond
Half cat, half girl, half demon, all edge - Kala is the Deviant Art OC of a small girl going through a rough time at school. She is played by @heliocathus.
For this one, Nix gave me permission to have a little more artistic freedom, so below are my concepts for Kala'd redesign:

Julius the Cat
This jovial fella is the main antagonist of the adventure - his name is ‘Julius the Cat’ - a real cartoon from the black and white days who starred in Walt Disney’s ‘Laugh-O-Grams’ and ‘Alice Comedies’
Walt basically stole the idea of Felix the cat and everybody knew it so, Julius the copycat was later replaced with a rabbit, and then a more successful mouse character later on
Julius didn’t take so kindly to being considered a Felix-rip off, let alone being replaced! and has since plotted his revenge in an incredibly messed up way
He has set out to steal the medium of other characters - their paint, their vectors, their clay etc - and using it for his own power in an attempt to become the ultimate piece of art!

Baby Saturday
My first (and hopefully last) attempt at drawing a baby. Baby Sat or as some tend to call him 'B.S.' is a cherub based on J. C. Leyendecker's New Year Baby series of paintings.
Baby Sat, poses as a regular inconspicuous baby to fool others, but is in reality, just a tiny man.
Like all toon babies, Baby Sat has super natural luck - which makes him a valued member of Julius' team

Team Attacks
Within the myriad of illustrations and doodles I did for this silly little game, my favorite was definitely the team attacks. This was a homebrew element I added to the game, where the main characters could combine their power's - be it cartoon or in-character, for a big special attack. Here are the combinations that can be performed:
