"NO AI. NO AI. F THAT. F THAT." I was fortunate enough to see Anton do this one live. Homie's got bars.

AJ really out here doing god's work

My computer is getting its battery replaced. Upside: this should hopefully fix the slow down I’ve been experiencing when drawing. Downside: I’m without my primary work machine for a full week! Making both my hobbies and my important tasks 10x harder 🫠

It's only dawning on me now that the Archer in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy doesn't really have a bow. More like an uzi cosplaying as a bow. But with how fast they fire arrows, it honestly makes a lot of sense 🤔

Hey #portfolioday ! My name is Steven Hancher. I'm a game artist and designer. I love making dark fantasy and sci-fi art. I'm a big fan of tactics and making little guys, maps and trinkets. I'm currently looking for work! You can find my contact info and portfolio on my website: hanchers.com

I don't post nearly enough 😅 So here is a picture frame I mocked up for a personal project and will most likely not be using.

Had a cool dream where there was a new Super Sentai series were the theme was Alchemy. All the members had helmets that displayed their alchemical symbol (sulfer, salt, mercury). Their solo ranger was the red philosophers stone and the megazord looked like a green lion. Sick as hell 🤘

🕯️CHECK OUT MY FRIENDS GAME! 🕯️

Goals honestly

Earlier this year I gave a talk about making art in a capitalist for @pigsquad.com 's Talent Talks called "Dating My Medium". Click on the link below if you are looking for (what I believe is) an honest conversation about our relationships with our chosen crafts.

✨They say your fate is written in the stars ✨

The center piece of your character tableau. This represents your adventurer's immutable characteristics. Your inclinations are the closest things resembling traditional stats. Players choose a spot on a spectrum between two extremes and try rolling on the side of the applicable extreme.

The Dutchy of Bedmouthe, so named for it's proximity to the 'mouth' of The Great Arterial River, and it's striking geographic composition. A city situated on a giant stone mesa, jutting out into the ocean. The very bedrock breaching the earth like the dorsal fin of some slumbering leviathan.

I've ripped the bandaid off and have finally started working on a tabletop campaign for the first time in years. I'm unwell 😂 Feverishly working on it whenever I find time. Expect some pics in the coming weeks.

I know there are plenty of terrible things going on right now. But I’m going to take this chance to make a small petty gripe: I’m sad that the icon for AI is a 4 pointed star. One of my favorite simple symbols is being co-oped in the worst way.

Mickey and I are cookin’ up somethin’ special. Just y’all wait 😜

If you see this, post purple art 🟪

Would you enter the ancient door?

Throwback to these old hag drawings I made ages ago

I was trying out something else for my business card, but I didn't like it as much. Though I do still like the idea of making all my game projects into little game cartridges. I'll keep that idea in my back pocket.
