Was a pleasure to contribute some art for this project!

A brief respite from vacation posting to show off a very fun illustration @thenazavr.bsky.social and I cooked up for “swords without masters” - sword and planet style adventure with some Corben-inspired color work!

And, ICYMI, our friend and contributor to the A&H Annual 2025 @megacarter.bsky.social has a Kickstarter running for THE IRON BARGE, a comic of anthropomorphic animals on a post-apocalyptic road trip! It looks great and fires the imagination, check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/meg...

Our latest Swords Without Master update includes more Eidolons from @simonroy.bsky.social, @sambeckdraws.bsky.social, @newjackcole.bsky.social, @monstermonger.bsky.social and @azuremeraki.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

So much art for the art gods!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

New Ep Wednesday - this one is for the haters! We talk about parts of the design process we hate and channeling hatred into positive work; plus a thing we love: Swords art! Listen: unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/36 Subscribe: unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/subscribe Support: patreon.com/UnwrittenEar...

We here are the Unwritten Earths are indebted to the incredible artists we're lucky enough to work with to create our games, so this #portfolioday is a great time to shout them out. Here are pinned posts, recent work and portfolio day posts from those on Bluesky!

Rejected color test for @epidiah.bsky.social 's Swords Without Master. The neon coloring takes it from jovial to downright manic, and i think i want to go for a warmer more cozy tone. But it does look cool as hell under a black light. #MyArt

Ok, sat in my studio and painted up some more color tests for @epidiah.bsky.social 's Swords Without Master. Trying to get back on my feet a little after a bad week, pretty happy with how pretty these are #MyArt

Imagine secretly releasing a game in an obscure magazine on April 1st only to have to re-release it twelve years later.

Excellent episode from @epidiah.bsky.social and @ndpdesign.com - about TTRPGs that "showcase thinking about games in a way we never would have, or that made such an impression on us that we've made them part of our toolkits." Some great games mentioned! Find it here: unwrittenearths.fireside.fm/32

Yessss, thank you all for your support (and your patience as I do the usually KS hustle). So thrilled to finally be kicking this beast out of the Worlds Without Master nest!

The Campaign Without Master has ascended the final step of the ziggurat and now casts its gaze across the Backer Horde assembled in its wake! A horde indeed, 824 of you are making Swords Without Master a reality. Incredible, truly. Thank you all! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

5 hours left!

Very excited to draw some fun stuff for Swords Without Master

We did it! We've unlocked the @simonroy.bsky.social Eidolon Folio! That just leaves...

The last day for Swords Without Master starts with some great news: we hit the stretch goal for @simonroy.bsky.social's sword & planet themed Eidolon Folio! It's going to be very cool. Check out the campaign for info on the game and our final stretch goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

evening crowd - we’re coming into the last couple of days, and have some big goals still to hit!
