Those of you who have been following me for a long while might remember a cool game jam I hosted 4-5 years ago where I designed a bunch of evocative cover mock-ups for people to make ttrpgs or larps based off! Well, it's back! #ttrpg #mockcoverjam itch.io/jam/mock-cov...

For your consideration, my entry for #bigbotbash3 I want to post my work-in-progress shots I snapped along with my initial sketches. But! For now! Only bot. #billmakingstuff #thegutterlands #scratchbuild #bigbotbash bigbotbash3

map in progress for The Doom of the Dark by @falsemachine.bsky.social charcoal is not ideal for this kinda thing (details/diagrams) but I am going to make it work

if I wanted to have a blog, and have it be easy to upload pictures to and not cost any money and also be as easy as humanly possible to set up, what is the best place or way to do that? it would not have to be fancy I just want a place to put pictures and get on all the exciting new webrings

drawing a Moon-Headed Goblin--Man for The Doom of the Dark by @falsemachine.bsky.social

So very beautiful. Honestly think @amandalee.bsky.social is one of the most thoughtful artists working in TTRPGs right now---such a marriage of technical chops and conceptual exploration.

I mean come on

there will be doom, and dark

some charcoal details for an ADVENTURE ZINE I am illustrating for @falsemachine.bsky.social it is gonna be done like next month (this is all the border that's going around all the pages)

Join for a deep dive into MAC Attack on Wednesday, 9pm GMT www.youtube.com/live/MBpZey-...

IN ONE WEEK: Join us for Tabletop Bookshelf's Grand Opening! We've got a packed schedule with an open house, creator Q&As, and demos of Daggerheart, The Wildsea, and Perils & Princesses. We can't wait to see you there! (Poster art by @outridercreative.bsky.social)

so charcoal is gorgeous to work with but everything in the bedroom/studio is covered in it and I can't put the drawings away cause they will get smudged up & this is going to only become more of a problem

Poetry in TTRPG should exist. However uncomfortable, rough, personal and not 'table-ready' at the slightest, TTRPGs are too vast to simply straightjacket them into _utterly functional_ as it seems to be a preference these days. Even if it isn't immediately useful, it must exist for its own sake.

I am on board 100% (ps this is a good essay you should read it)

My Name is Shingo is one of my favorite works of fiction. The world is a daisy-chain system-of-systems universe. Invisible infrastructures that exist to hide handmade origins, simultaneously playing at being us, for us. Like any child, it learns it will die someday and screams.

A new link-collecting newsletter has dropped. It's really good. I like that it includes @elmc.at's projects, I'm especially interested in their more robust webring idea. elmc.at/catmail-2/

QRP with your sketch VS final! This piece took more planning and architectural thoughtfulness than normal, I'm still very pleased with how it came out though.

hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final! sketch > refined pencils > final inks

Artists! QRP with your sketch vs final! (cover for Commonwealth by Michael Hansen: modality.itch.io/commonwealth after the first draft we changed the color scheme and added a big curtain to go behind the title. I usually do sketches digital because it is so fast, and then the final was watercolor)

KYANA shares an alternative category for the Bloggies, the inspirational and poetic, and includes some of her favourite posts from last year. “All of [the Bloggies nominated posts] are well-written, all of those are good. But to me there is a lacuna there. Where is the poetry?”

watercolor is less 'painting' and more of putting down a stroke and going wow i really shouldnt have done that
