Thunderstruck on DeviantART
DeviantART is a vast, thriving online community of artists, writers, and
photographers of all sorts. My own gallery includes a lot of different
stuff. Much of it is artwork from Thunderstruck -- stuff that I
have not put on the main website, but which might be interesting to you
if you're a fan of the comic.
I also have a lot of other art from my many sketchbooks at different
levels of completion -- some very rough, some fully colored and finished.
These include my drawings of dinosaurs, fantasy creatures, and
characters from stories I've written.
A large portion of the gallery is dedicated to drawings from the
"Wakatu" campaign. This is a pen-and-paper role playing game that I
run as GM for my wife and several friends. It's set in an alternate
medieval Japan called Wakatu, with lots of magic and demons, gods
and dinosaurs, and superhuman martial arts. In order to help my
players visualize the world better, I do drawings from the campaign
sessions as often as I can.
In fact, I did a whole comic based on the very first session. That's
"Dragonfly Wind" ... and I'll tell you more about that below.

Dragonfly Wind by Grayson Towler
(with special thanks to Candi Cooper-Towler and Andrew Young)
In the an alternate world of samurai and magic, two warriors traveling
in opposite directions meet on a narrow bridge. A duel between them seems
unavoidable -- but in Wakatu, it's never safe to assume how these things
will turn out.
Dragonfly Wind is based on a pen-and-paper RPG session that I
ran as GM, with my wife Candi and my friend Andrew Young as the players.
Now you can meet Azami (played by Candi) and Kagami (played by Andrew
Young), and discover how these two unlikely warriors first met on their
long and extraordinary journey.

Fan Art for Thunderstruck
I'm always quite keen to see how other artists interpret
the characters of Thunderstruck. Frequently, I find
myself inspired, and hoping that I can achieve the level
of skill in the fan's drawing!
Anyway, I love receiving fan art. So if you feel like
drawing a character from the story, please
send
me a copy!. Or you can send me a link to where you
have it posted if it's on the web somewhere. I shall be
sure to post it here.

Art by Minced Niku
These were commission pieces that my wife had done by one of her
favorite DeviantART illustrators. She also had some done for characters from the
Wakatu campaign and Dragonfly Wind.
Minced Niku has a terrific gallery, and also a
special Commission Gallery.
