So I made a frame. Now to decide what to put in it. #inkart #handdrawn #stipling

Once again, for Your pleasure and education: 7 WAYS TO GET RID OF GEN AI ENTHUSIASTS!

Oh, how nice 🥹 Currently re-reading Horus Rising by Dan Abnett. I love this book so much. #warhammer40k

Don’t pay me any attention, I’m just being silly now. 🔪 #handdrawn #inkart

The Black Tomb of the Wight Knight. One of my old top-down maps (I rarely draw this perspective nowadays). ☠️ #dnd #dungeonanddragons #ttrpg #handdrawn #cartography

The Hillshade Manor. One of my favorite aspects of old-school D&D is the idea of an actual end game where powerful player characters are expected to use the accumulated wealth of dungeon crawling loot to build a stronghold. It’s fun and provides a distinct goal for the game and campaign.

Such a pretty flower 🌺😍 As a DM, do you consider plantlife in your worldbuilding? #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #handdrawn #inkart

Another trad tattoo style arch and stairs. This was a much smaller and faster drawing than the previous one, but I like this one better. Still more practice needed to nail it, though. #inkart #handdrawn #tattoo #tradtattoo

Exploring old-scool americana tattoo aesthetics, and the mystery stairs is one of my favorite motifs. This was a first try, but I certainly need some more practice.

You’re going on an adventure. What’s the most important piece of gear you bring? 🏔️🏕️🗡️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #adventure #handdrawn #gear #ttrpg

Someone on Reddit asked about what to get as a present for her boyfriend who has started drawing maps, and I listed some of the stuff that are important to me. Perhaps it could be useful for you guys as well.

Have a look at this really cool tutorial on how to create my ”Leap of Faith” dungeon trap as physical dungeon terrain 🔥 Love this! youtu.be/U1HukgL2Jv8?...

Here's what I've been working on the past month (typography, layout, and pre-press). As well as the twin book for the 5E version, of course.

A sword-shaped dungeon room containing a … well, a sword. #dnd #dungeonanddragons #ttrpg #isometric #handdrawn

Instagram ai flagged and took down my Malum Caedo illustration for depicting ”self harm and/or eating disorder” 🤨🤔

The Nightfall Lodge – an inn deep in the woods, far from civilization. It’s a strange place, this twilight tavern. A candlelight cantina that seems to exist in a perpetual state of evenfall. #dnd #ttrpg #handdrawn

Throwback to the Far Oasis inn, the cozy little waystation by the Opal Trail. #dnd #ttrpg

I’m not very good at drawing skulls 💀, but that’s why we practice, right? #skull #handdrawn #inkart

One of my older illustrations - the gate to Dol Sceptar - the tower-grave stronghold of the death knight sect. ☠️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #handdrawn #isometric

Currently on vacation, so not drawing at the moment. Here’s a throwback to the Dunkelmoor Tower. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #handdrawn #isometric

Also my wife just said; ”what about those word bearers? What’s the deal with them?” Me:

My wife just said; ”I hope that new warhammer tv series is like The Mandalorian, but with a plague marine and his nurgling travelling around the universe” and I’m like ok that kind of jives with me.

”Electronic Arts couldn’t possibly get any worse, right?” EA: apnews.com/article/ea-e...

Last mapstream of the week! I'm in the middle of an isometric piece built around a giant statue. Drop on in, I stream every Monday / Wednesday / Friday from 1 to 4 pm Eastern (UTC-4) twitch.tv/dysonlogos

This book cover is just 5/5. Jfc.

Beware of basement dwellers, say NO to evil cults! #dnd #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn #isometric

Throwback to this ancient burial site. Very much cursed. ☠️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #osr #handdrawn #isometric

Empathy is the shield against injustice. Be proud of your bleeding heart and protect those in need.

Chaplain Cassius in Saturnine terminator plate. 💀 #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #handdrawn

Guy messages me out of the blue with ai slop, expecting ... I dunno, praise? Lies about it being his own work. Demands evidence when I call him out. Accuses me of harassment when I point out the artifacts. Then - yeah you guessed it - removes the images and blocks me.

The secret to playing a fighter in D&D is about getting the right equipment. ⚔️ Going through and re-scanning old drawings and found this old plate armor. Thought I’d share it. #dnd #ttrpg #osr

Sometimes the simplest designs are as devious as any complex contraption. An overly sturdy door keeps a rolling boulder in place. The lock is VERY easy to pick. Suspiciously so … ☠️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #ttrpg #osr #handdrawn

Warhammer lore youtubers really need to stop with the ai slop, jfc.

People on Facebook telling me dwarves don’t make or use swords and I’m like dude have you ever read Tolkien? Ever heard of Orcrist? Narsil? No?

This makes me so sad. Or ”SAD!”, as the POTUS they elected would say.

Trying to power through this drawing. I don’t find it particularly enjoyable to draw, if I’m being honest, but sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and do it. Hopefully the end result will be worth it. Wrist hurt like a mfer though 😖 #handdrawn #isometric #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

The forced commercial breaks on instagram is the best cure for scrolling I’ve ever seen.

The finished version of my previous post, the ruins at Boulderwood Crags. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #isometric #handdrawn

Isometric perspective works well also for overland hex maps. Looking back at my map of the Boulderwood Crags I’m starting to get the itch to draw a new one soon. 🖊️ 📜 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #ttrpg

Have you checked out the tutorials on my website? They’re a good start if you want to get into mapmaking. This castle tutorial is just one of several. No paywall, all free. 🖊️ 📜 wistedt.net/tutorials #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #mapmaking #cartography

I’ve played three or four different editions of D&D (and loads of other fantasy TTRPGs), and 5e really is my least favorite one. I wish young roleplayers today would get a better introduction to the hobby.

Work-in-progress, I call it ”Mysterious dissapearances” 👹 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #handdrawn

Alright boys and girls, the rolling boulder trap is done! Link to free download in my bio. Have fun! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #osr

More work done on my new boulder dungeon trap ☠️ About to wrap up the ink work and scan it. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #osr

Work-in-progress cutaway drawing of a dungeon with a nasty trap and a hidden treasure chamber. ”Oh, a rope ladder! How convinient!” #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #osr

Another trap throwback - Dungeon Crawl. Fun for the whole party! 😍 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #osr #ttrpg

Every time I post my traps there’s always some people accusing me of plagiarising Grimtooth’s. While I’m the first to admit that I might have subconsciously recreated one of G’s designs, not *one* of my accusers has been able to provide a source to the trap I’ve supposedly ”stolen”. #dnd

Throwback to the old dungeon trap - ”Leap of Faith” ☠️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #osr #ttrpg

Some more work done on the chaplain in Saturnine terminator armour, inspired by the great work of miniatures designer Sedivalle. #warhammer40k #spacemarines #handdrawn #inkart #woodcut
