Day 8 brings you Red, the revolutionary.

He's a rebellious type ever willing to be rid of SkagNet and the orks' yolk of slavery. He talks the talk but isn't in reality much of a leader.

Day 9 brings you GorSneek.

Given to us by Warboss Grimdakka, GorSneek is the ultimate grot Kommando.

Day 10 and its Dapper the fancy grot.

By far the weirdest grot I've come up with. He's a social outsider with a fondness for the unorkish things in life. His stolen fancy laspistol being one of them.

Day 11 and we have Slik.

Slik used to be an oiler on a trukk that was blown up. Pokey found him still oiling the wreck and grabbed him for SkagNet's grot mob.

Thanks Robbo. Glad you're enjoying the grotly doodles.

Day 12 and we're on the home straight. This time it's Slimey.

A latecomer to the party brought in by Bschwi1. Slimey is a blood smeared, meat tenderising squig-feeder. We've yet to see that mallet raised in anger but it'd make for a fun story.

Is Dapper a Dapper Dan man? I mean, grot? Either way he's great.

Slimey looks pretty darn content with his life.

Thanks AT, yeah I think he might be a Dappaer Dan fella. He likes to look and feel fresh. He's a smooth operator is Dapper.
And yes, content might be Slimey in a word. He's got a full tum and a big mallet to smash stuff with. What more could a grot ask for? The very picture of satisfaction.

Thanks Waaazag. It's people enjoying little details like that that make the pics worth posting.

Day 13 and its Blunder.


I tossed Blunder into the mix because a grot with a blunderbuss is always a fun story element even if this version of him can't harness the power of the waaaagh and blast through tanks. At least not that we're aware of.

And the last one of the series for day 14 is Booker da Kounta.

Created by DalekCheese and our most recent addition Booker is a Kounta, a grot accountant who looks after the teef. He's been a fun addition to the mob and will no doubt appear in more stories to come.

Thanks for taking a look at the sketchbook for the last two weeks. Nothing more to show for now but you never know when the mood to doodle might strike.

Another one from the sketchbook for you all.

It's the final scene from my epic tale Smirking Da Chosen One. Now finally complete after what must be 6 years in the writing.

Love the use of colours in that one. Very nice, indeed.

Booker's very no-nonsense. You'd have to be to be a grotcountant, of course.

And that is a beautifully drawn sunset (sunrise?)

Thanks Rob. The original is not very vivid. There's a whole lot of digital editing going into that punched up colour saturated version.

Thanks AT. I'm going for sunset. Not sure if I specified in the text of the story but it's the classic hero strides off into the sunset ending, albeit aboard a mega Gargant flanked by battleships and bomber squadrons. No better way for a grot hero to stride off into the sunset in my opinion.

And just since I'm keen to spread the word I'll share this here too...



My Blunder the Wonder Grot story got picked up by A Vox in the Void for a YouTube video narration. If yo fancy a giggle go have a listen and tell him how you want lots more fun grot content! I'll be happy to supply that of course.

Lovely sunset and some lovely grots! A Vox in the Void did a great job narrating your story, that was a lot of fun.

Thanks T-horde. Glad you enjoyed it. I really loved hearing it. It doesn't get the hits like the space marine videos but it's nice to see it out there. I'd encourage anyone with a story that would suit a short video narration like this to get in touch with Paul and let him read it. He's doing great work and always interested in quality original content.

Sadly no more content from me these days. I'm busy with a house move. (No craic at all) So hobby time is mostly on hold.

Been writing a story with the boy about all his characters. Here’s a little sketch going left to right it’s Ortis the Tortoise, Hedgee the Hedgehog, Hooter the Owl, Noodles the Panda, Kitty-Mitty the witch’s cat, and Bufo the Toad Mage.

Back to the green drawing board for me today with this little number.


Apologies to any Ramones fans out there that might recognise these guys from another album cover.

Again you’ll find story’s relating to these guys over in Dakka Fiction where an ork drinking game is on the go.
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/804886.page
It’s a bit of story writing fun.
You just show up. Tell us who your ork is, what he’s about and importantly what he’s drinking. Open invitations to all to come join the fun.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And one more for any Pantera fans out there.


Not that I’m in particular a fan of either Ramones or Pantera, they just fit the vibe of the bands in the bill at Da Guzzlin’ Grox.

Just wanted to say these sketches are the number reason my kids are interested in this stuff. So nice to share the hobby with the young uns with age appropriate stuff.



Thanks for the effort. Looking forward to finishing up the drinking game so we can move on to other story telling collaborations.

Some other ideas I had for future ork/grot stories.

1. An orky racing adventure.

2. Grotpiercer... a spoof of snowpiercer. (Da Red Gobbo's greatest revolution).

Nice one. I’m all for getting the kids involved and enjoying the less grim-dark side of things.

Check out my blog https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/784135.page where most of my kid-friendly gaming adventures get uploaded. There was also a fun goblin spider hunt game on this one
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/649487.page

And a collection of ideas for a goblin Olympic Games too.

Lots of fun for playing daft little games with the kids.
