"futuristic city dwellers", maybe. Or maybe some fantasy city:



Demons:


The rulers of the cat people:


A wizard and his pets:



A wizard with a nose piercing and fairy lackeys:


Visiting dignitaries:

Great stuff--Alex Toth was an incredible illustrator. I really like the critters from 'Birdman,' and those cat-people, er 'Katkins,' look pretty cool as well...

Shades of The Monarch from Venture Bros. there with the wizard and his fairie lackeys!

So weird and fun to see that unmistakable H-B adventure show style as preliminary pencils and markers.

Tailor-made for an Encounter Critical game!

These are definitely some great inspirational images.

It may be possible that the wizard is Jamie Farr.
