Once again the internet lights up with chatter about a #Blakes7 reboot... Who knows? Maybe this time it'll make it. The illustration below was my "fantasy casting" from last time it was mentioned. - Blake's 7, SF, British TV, Science Fiction etc etc

Hey! If you are around Cottingham Road, #Hull tomorrow there's a Xmas Market (behind the large head sculpts) at #HullUni. #FantasyArt, #ttrpgArt, #comics, www.visithull.org/whatson/hubs... I'll also be at #HullCentralLibrary on the 6th (www.visithull.org/whatson/chri...).

I wrote a bunch of stupid Herculean adventures for Aegean, one of which has a really giant crab in it. God willing I'm writing some more for the new supplement. Pick it up - it's cheap at half the price.

In York today, making a #flatbow from a stick, in amongst some trees, hatchet, draw knife, little fire, all the mod cons.

Well those framed up nicely... youtube.com/shorts/J5QYk... #illustration #ttrpg #fantasyart #prints

And right after the lush detail of the page quoted below, Breccia follows with some devastating minimalism as he shifts focus from atmospheric settings to Ezra’s personal experience of dread. (These are from the 2018 @fantagraphics.bsky.social edition, translated by Erica Mena.)

Oh, & this, a bit of #Tolkien fan art "So [Gandalf's] doubt slept -- but uneasily. Still [he] watched and [he] waited." Showed this at Oxonmoot back in Sept', & handed a few postcards of it out too. Detail pics of some fun background elements, inc. amongst other things a familiar looking kerchief.

Seeing as I can't show you any current work (for all the usual reasons) here's "Space Truckin'!" a toybash / kitbash project for my new(ish) a side project #anotherDMcrafter - you can see the full build on YouTube here > youtu.be/jttn85NTRXg?...

So, looks like more folk moving over this way... In that case, "Hi" to you new followers :) I've actually been a bit quiet on here, but am close to having some new work/stuff go live, in the meantime, here's something fun/weird/newish... youtu.be/jttn85NTRXg?...

The Ravenser Odd comic written and drawn by myself for the Hull Maritime project is now free online! You can find a downloadable PDF at the bottom of the article on the Maritime Hull pages, here:https://maritimehull.co.uk/whats-happening/news/news-new-comic-tells-the-story-of-ravenser-odd

The poster, designed by the amazing Marie-Chantal Hamrock, takes inspiration from the 1407 Inclesmoor map, showing the other end of the Humber. And the lovely iconography of a 1734 map of Spurn and the estuary. More details of the Inclesmoor map here: www.flickr.com/photos/12480...

Not sure this effects anyone, aside for making a little more room there. But I've not applied for a table @ thoughtbubbleuk this year. A number of factors. Maybe a year out of my fave comic fest might see me get back on track with my own #comics. Less pressure, though I'm kind of sad about it tbf.

Mr MLG picked up some cool new art work for the shop today from @hesir.bsky.social They are going to look great hung on the wall #art #artist #rpgArt #fantasyArt #flgs #lgs #bridlington

Just around the corner... best I start framing stuff up.

...Aaaaand we are here! #TBF23 Hope everyone has a great weekend @ThoughtBubbleUK ! See you in #DSTLRY hall, Table B34 - #comics, #fantasyart #prints & my very last copy of my #100Drawings #sketchbook

Ordered some new (and one repeat) print sets to take along to #ThoughtBubble (and in prep for a solo exhibition I have coming up). One of my choices might have been crazier than the others... I'm really just printing stuff I like I guess. We'll see I suppose? - fantasyart ttrpgart ttrpgartist

New Banners ready for #ThoughtBubble #TBF23, this coming weekend. "Arrr... look for me at th' sign o' the flyin' galleon!" Plus, a new blog post over on IronShodApeComics(.)com "...starting something new before finishing the last thing(s)". ironshodapecomics.com/blog/ #Comics #Ttrpg

So, see you all at Thoughtbubble / TBF23... and hello to our future table neighbours! We'll be in the DSTLRYhall, Table B34 ...see you there! - Comics!

So I guess in the meantime I might also post on here some of the other "creative" stuff I get up to. Stuff I do to give me a little step back from the day-to-day painting & drawing (which I love of course), that allows for a little recharging whilst still being creative, just in a different way...

There's definitely less impetus on here to post & update, & that gentler less pressure-full atmosphere is great. But being in that showcase lull, that working on stuff you can't show or talk about brings, can feel isolating, like you're sitting on the edge of a discussion you want to be part of. 1/2

Four years today, Sarah and I got ourselves married... it's ace. So is she. Here's to many more years!

"There's only twenty-six here...?" - The Antiquities Dealer Continuing to follow the progress of my occult deck/artifact through various hands. Here a band of adventurers hope to identify exactly what it is they have, and what it's worth. From "The Weird Deck of Many Wyrds" on DMsGuild - TtRPG, D&D

Hey, I'll be at BridComicCon on Sunday. See you there! #Comics #MakingComics - ironshodapecomics.com/blog/ -

"Let's just try this one last door..." - Just trying to get the feel of your typical #dungeon-eers stumbling from locked door to locked door in search of #loot then almost tripping over hoard of #treasure, but somewhere in amongst it is that powerful & not necessarily “friendly” artefact. #Ttrpg

Tabletop Scotland this past weekend was a blast!

Just got back from three and a half days at Oxonmoot (Oxford Tolkien seminar), and that after 12/13 days in Germany on The Mosel (amongst other places). Lots of ideas rushing around in my brain, and lots of notes and ref photography to sort through... So, in the meantime...

....aaaaand we are on our way. Heading to Oxonmoot! So to celebrate, here's a work in progress on a Tolkien piece - "Thuringwethil in the court of Sauron on the Isle of Werewolves". ...plus a couple of details. More description again n the Alt Text. - LotR Silmarillion

Just a few days until #Oxonmoot... Anyone on here going? #Tolkien #Silmarillon #LotR #RoP #Oxford "#Aragorn captures #Gollum"

I sold out of Aegean Core and the Gaslight Club and almost sold out of Action Potential (only 1 copy remaining) and WILD.

Talking of creatures...Here be Dragons! And some of their many possible chin options... - illustration, fantasy art, TtRPG art, comics -

But yes, I do like drawing/designing "freaky", disturbing, discomforting creatures a lot... More descriptions on the individual images in the alt text - TtRPG, DnD, illustration, monsters - These were done for one of my own campaigns as creatures found in a "badlands" setting, called The Vorn.

Here's some more images of that Cironuppe, or Spine Marten creature - ttrpg, DnD, design, illustration - (content warning - the alt text goes into a bit more detail, but also discussed these fantasy creatures in captivity and the fantasy arena).

I'd like to think not alm the creatures I design are terrible or hideous, some are just very "creaturish" perhaps, and some, perhaps at least two, could be seen as downright cute?!? - TtRPG, DnD, Roleplaying Games Illustration -

I suppose reposting old stuff on here is cool... Just a reminder really, that I really enjoy designing/redesigning and illustrating fantasy creatures. There are more notes on each creature in the alt text. - TtRPG, DnD, games, comics -

Some still shots of those Medusa comics sketches - sketchbook, myth, mythology, creatures, storytelling

Organised my #Tolkien prints to take down to #Oxonmoot in Sept. Looking forward to showing these alongside the other artists. #TolkienArt #LotR #MiddleEarth #Silmarillion

Hi, I'm Gareth, I'm here to find other creatives in comics & TtRPG. I draw #comics, #fantasyart, #TTRPG, and other genre based #CharacterArt, plus other things in that general ballpark - check out more of my #illustration, #conceptart & #design at hesir.artstation.com
