Today I’m happy to show you Rosejack’s Whip-sword! This weapon is one of Myles’s more ingenius weapons. Both the whip and sword retract into the hilt for easy storage. Done in Rosejack’s signature red, it’s gold plated for finesse. It also sports my love of tassels. The whip is the primary, and Rosejack’s preferred, function of the weapon. Not seen here is that the weapon gan electrify causing more damage. However, once the whip function is no longer desired, the whip portion pops off and the sword extends out. The sword too, can electrify, if there is enough energy left after the whip.

Cute But Useless
This, sadly, is a design that I won’t be using in the comic. It was supposed to be a gift for Timothy Cavendish from Myles. Victoria was supposed to to get a heart-shaped parasol (which wasn’t designed). Since the story has tightened this tidbit has fallen to the wayside. However, since I went through all the trouble of designing it I’m sharing it here. Essentially, it’s a coin necklace. The coin, any coin from any country, is placed in the center of the retracting slides of the device. The lever on the side adjusts the slides so that they fit snugly on the coin.

And now the Grand Finale: Pluckett’s Pistols! This is a matching pair of exquisite etched silver plated pistols with gold plated accents and teak wood handle. This is, by far, the best set of guns Myles has every created. Nothing but the best would suit a sharpshooter like Jasper Plunkett. Not only is it the most accurate of Myles projectile creations, it also pack a wallop! These lovelies in the hands of Plunkett are exactly what you want watching your back from you laundry list of enemies.

The beautiful and daring Rosejack was the inspiration for this pistol. It’s etched silver & gold plating with her signature red. She even had her japanese inspired weave on the stock. As lovely as this looks, this is not Rosejack’s favorite weapon. However, it’s extremely reliable in a pinch.
Game of Guns 1
Alrighty! It’s time to highlight what I’m packing, or rather, what my characters are packings. This week, it’s all about pistols! All the guns displayed here are complete works of fancy on my part, but real guns/pistols/six-shooters from the late Victorian era was used as reference.
We start off our odyssey of pistols with Mrs. Applegarth’s weapon, rarely seen, but a doozy nonetheless. It’s the biggest and largest caliber of the collection of guns I created for C.O.G. Chronicles. It is brass-plated and deadly. I figured I would start with a BANG!
Myles’s Arm-Apparatus
Today I an very happy to show you Myles’s Arm-Apparatus in all ti’s detail! I did several sketches of this before I finally locked in on this design. Actually, the front of this was completed BEFORE I did the pin-ups. However, the Back came later and is featured here with the front, as it should be.
The Arm-Apparatus is brass plated and features the innards of the gears works. I am still developing the gear pattern that will go into that portion of the Arm-Apparatus. The Arm-Apparatus is primarily used to aid Myles’s work inventing, particularly the gloves with the tool components that extend from from the top of the hand down the length of the fingers. The design is lovingly embellished with a boar’s head for a pocket watch attachment and crimson tassels. Myles, despite his other failings, does have a certain sense of innate style when it concerns his work, though he rerely elaborates on why that is. The Arm-Apparatus does have offensive and defensive capabilities hidden within it’s workings. This was not it’s original function but over the years Myles has been forced to make these adjustments for his own protection. However, since the hiring of Rosejack, he has used these functions rarely.
C.O.G. Chronicles Wallpaper
Alright, for the few of you already watching this blog, here is a wallpaper design featuring the inks I did of the initial cast. It has been jazzed up with a parchment texture and the names and titles of each characters. This size is intended for a 27″ large format iMac. If you have a smaller screen, feel free to shrink it at you discretion. Like on the image to download.
