Working on more weapons today. I’ve kinda shied away from drawing them b/c they just seem kinda…meh But sometimes they’re needed

parsing if campaign is using AI art or not is tough. when a campaign lists artists, you think, alright cool! but then every piece of art in the whole game looks identical and of the most generic type... so even paying artists for art that has absolutely no personality. or are they all "adjusting" ai

👀

been given the opportunity to illustrate nearly a whole game book! about 13 illustrations!

@jesselonergan.bsky.social finished chapter Blue last night and loving your book! The colors, drawing, composition, cosmic

I just want to say, @thegamecrafter.bsky.social is rad! I was just looking on there for some packaging for a potential project, and not only was the piece listed with all dimensions, its page also had a very short video showing it, AND a 3D manipulative page to move the "product" around! so cool!

Do it if you need art for your zines! I’ve used PR’s artwork across multiple projects and continue to do so.

Get cool things, and actively help cool people. As a father of 3, lemme tell ya, daycare costs suuuuuuck. So snag some Patreon perks!

I don’t do a lot of interviews, but I did this one! We talked about my background, teaching at public libraries, and why I think we should all make weird games. 💀

Other pieces patrons have access to, royalty free! My goal is to be able to pay our kid's daycare with my patreon. Still short of that goal. If you like what I do and want to support a freelancer artist, this is my "crowdfund" Tiers from $1/mo - $10/mo www.patreon.com/perplexingru...

Got a batch of oldie but goodies! $30 shipped, US DM if interested

this 4 piece set of art could be a wonderful adventure seed based around a warlock!! your warlock NEEDS this item to defeat the great cosmic entity - venture forth to find it thus - along the way, gain the wyvern helm and the Green Prince's dagger

trying to catch up on #morktober

More messing around with equipment

Drew an eldritch dagger for patrons!

planning projects, making projects, selling the projects, filling out forms, taxes, business emails, "customer" emails, packing and shipping products, networking this is the DIY life any moments of attention deficit (diagnosed or just absent-mindedness) can really set of a chain of being behind

I feel like introducing Kid to Nausicaa (both manga & anime) has been an enlightening experience for them! 💪 parenting ✅

Coming to Kickstarter very soon! The long await collection of my Irish Crime webcomic Clearwater! Collecting the first 10 chapters and the winter special. and all of @vor-bokor.bsky.social end chapter art. In beatuiful greayscale! Pre save today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar...

made a drawing that's dropping to patrons today! I failed at #morktober :( i also realize throwing my energy and time into other projects like that is perhaps not the best diversion for me....

Piece of art…may be for sale soon🤔

people "love" the arts but often don't understand art takes time. they don't understand many creatives live in or near poverty to make the "thing" so what happens to artists when housing, food, gas, daycare get more and more $$$? artists get a rep for being lazy, mooch, "anti" etc etc but we want it

Capitalism is a grind, huh? conceive conceive conceive it produce produce produce it sell sell sell it do it again again again BUT! be a good dad, husband, citizen, stay healthy, be bored, do fun things, have a hobby, relax, sleep!

it hasn't helped sell any mags but it appears our nonsense on here has just pushed our account over 5K 'followers', so let's embrace that as some kind of achievement! Like & repost this to be in with a chance to win every in-print issue of Wyrd Science & a t-shirt of your choice*

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys. Thankyou 💔

FOMO has my number this season :( gotta just say no, there's just no $

More drawing today

Sunday card games w/ Kid

Messing around

I'm likely in the minority on this, but i think I'd prefer more contemporary comics to not be colored in - just the black & white....🤔

I had just been saying this week how I wish there were more medieval tabletop games that didn't lean into fantasy tropes, and well damn! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pin...

Getting there! 19624 strokes according to the tablet - foreground to tackle and some character details yet 😮‍💨

Subterranean cult on the drawing board this morning

see myself moving away from tabletop rpg design. tabletop games yes, but books that tell me how to roll dice to do an action - i struggle greatly with coming up with a "new" idea every few months. time to consolidate, put everything into Fallen, and expand it's universe into other formats?

As someone whose young family benefited greatly from SNAP years ago, I hope they figure this out

In my excitement and eagerness to share this wildly dope art I forgot to credit the artist, Kyle Patterson

i find writing for other peoples' games such a very difficult task! If you've bought into and invested in a game, then sure, it's fun, but to essentially cold-write something is antithesis to the spirit of making rpg stuff (of course, my little opinion) - some may find it a good challenge
