"V-visor's cracked" No brother, that helmet hasn't got one. The props department has given you a new helmet with a more open-face design for this scene

Close enough: I stopped watching Game of Thrones for ~6 years after the royal hunting scene showed three guys wandering around in the woods on foot.

And many a fair elf that should have lived yet long ages merrily in Kokiri Forest

Feeling ahead of the curve for submitting my updated portfolio to Wizards ~3 days before they sent out their open call artists

Lol they have this guy in episode 3 and the way the show metabolizes this character is by going “he is literally an insane person”

Maintain unit coherency

“Never use a monster’s name” is advice for gonzo horror settings, and doesn’t work as well out of that context.

I think I drew my minis way too big to print well at this scale

I think if I want to keep my work as detailed as I have been I've got to improve my value control. Too much mid-tone mud in my stuff right now imo

Post a mage!

He's here

Pretty happy with how they all look lined up like this

He's here

I am open and looking for work again! I’ve worked on projects for Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, Draco Gaming, Mondo, and more. I do full color illustrations and concept art, and I specialize in creatures.

Having listened to the audiobooks again, it’s funny how consistently characters in the Dunk & Egg stories who think that everybody else must also be cynically maximizing their material self-interest get tripped up when it turns out that no, most people believe in their culture’s stated values.

Lmao HBO is so dedicated to making game of thrones brown and hard to see that they shot a jousting scene at night

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has a great pilot that also seems to be going for something that is thematically the polar opposite of the novella. It’s weird.

This guy could not decide whether he wanted to roll around in the snow or run back indoors, so he tried to do both at the same time.

The first solo OSE game report of 2026 kicks off with a duel to the death, followed by some accounting and difficulties in middle-management

I think you should only be allowed to make live-action adaptations of cartoons in the form of stage plays.

The Black Company (Glen Cook) was always sold to me as grey-on-grey low fantasy, but at least in the first book it is very obviously the equivalent of a Haradrim soldier going "the Witch King isn't such a bad guy! Anyway, you have to be realistic about this, the Rebel uses wizards and ghosts too"

My fault for not disabling updates, but I forgot that every iPhone OS is like “hey, we made the buttons smaller and harder do see. Welcome to the future!”

I thought I made a pretty sweet BG elf deck at the lorwyn prerelease, but I went 1–2 anyway. Lost to RB aggro and three-color elves

Ben outlines a really cool version of something I've been thinking about, where simple encounter tables ("1d6 goblins") are fine, flexible tools if information about monster behavior is encoded into the monster's writeup.

I like how they're using -1/-1 counters in new lorwyn, where a lot of creatures kind of treat them as a cross between +1/+1 counters and exhaust abilities. Putting counters on your guys and then removing them for benefits, very cyclical, very thematically resonant

I like when they print blue giants

I really hope Lorwyn Eclipsed does well so I can get another chance to try and get hired to draw a lorwyn card in 5-7 years

I'm ready to pull off some bad combos with Urborg

Original fiction from Black Library authors is always an interesting time. Dan Abnett revealing that he always wanted to tell a bunch of Shakespeare puns. Guy Haley starting to write a realistic zombie post-apocalypse story and then adding cyborg dragons operated by Christian supercomputers.

Just spouting off on idle ttrpg thoughts, but I find the Trophy Gold/Dark approach of leading prompts kinda funny. Like “What does your character see that reminds them that this opium den is a place where the social classes meet?” Ok, well, it sounds like you already have some ideas for this one GM

Throne of Bones by Brian McNaughton is probably one of the best fantasy story collections ever written and The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman by Angela Carter is one of my favorite books ever but they both require you to get Very Cool with a lot of transgressive stuff extremely quickly

Oh my God I was all locked in on the Grimalkin in Dolmenwood being my favorite player option but then I saw this art of a woodgrue look at him LOOK AT HIM

The bottom half is the "Keep on the Borderlands" wilderness map with the individual caves spread out. The top left is D&D 3rd edition's "Forge of Fury" adventure module, which features a ruined dwarven fortress that has become a dragon's lair. What are you putting in the top right?

I'm ready to pull off some bad combos with Urborg

The ideal follow-up to a movie where a giant whale smashes an evil boat is a sequel that goes “he‘s actually one of the smaller whales”

It’s cringe but I like the Sully children calling each other “bro” and doing operator-speak. The aliens encountering and then repurposing random bits of stupid earth culture is fun.

The Owlbear. What is it? Did a wizard make one as a prank? The answers are simple: the owlbear is a flightless griffin species adapted to life in dense forests. The forelegs are covered with downy owl feathers, while the creature's sturdy hindquarters are actually those of a giant lynx!

If YOU want gripping comics by Simon and co. AND great illustrations (like this one!) by me, @tomkilianart.bsky.social, @vor-bokor.bsky.social, @pradaldi.bsky.social, @gnarlyghost.bsky.social, @sawyerleeart.bsky.social, @malachiward.bsky.social, @evelmiina.bsky.social and MORE, grab a copy!

I thought I'd do some Bestiary / Handbook entries for the Dragon Quest creatures I drew, because I greatly enjoy writing little blurbs and making page layouts. Here are two demons from DQII. The stats have been rounded and simplified (i. e. Silvapithecus' HP in the game = 89 > 90 > 9).

I was looking at some Bill Peet drawings before I started this guy

Against the armed night of Eveningstar and its wizard-lady stand… a bunch of misfits hiding in a cave.

Rick Grimes: “I’ve often said there’s nothing better for the outside of a man than the insides of a zombie”

Some of the variant wood elf heraldries

I’m not typically one for long articles detailing NPCs, but a solo game affords you all sorts of indulgences.

What blue card should I illustrate to finish the cycle? A) frost titan B) entity tracker C) other

There he lay

Some great bargains at the Patti Pogodzinski shop this Christmas season. Consider, for example, these jolly cards: a bargain at any price, a steal at $5

I've got an open illustration schedule at the moment, and I'd love to work on some book projects. Are you/do you know an art director? Let's get in touch!

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*
