A dreadful fate for the Berenethtelli...

come see what you've done

the guilt of killing it

an ill-fated envoy to the terrans in his amphibious staff car

Working on another story set on a planet i've been fondly referring to as "space albania"

Two stone effigies stand guard at the Demiurge's Keep - Gergeda, mother of monsters, and Dzovad, the cannibal god... www.patreon.com/posts/necrom...

An idol of the haldak- a household spirit considered to be a deified ancestor in some parts of the highlands, but universally venerated as protector of home, hearth and custom

An idol to the twins - dual goddesses of harvest and fermentation, much beloved by farmers and drinkers alike in the highlands

The tower of the Archons, fortress-complex of the seven high necromancers who served under the Demiurge, now host to the Urazadi contingent who helped the Domekans capture Karazad (a major setting of this month's installment of "the Necromancer's Daughter")

Sarkis, the Long-deceased High Necromancer who trained the Demiurge, is summoned back to the mortal plane in this month's installment of "the Necromancer's Daughter" - www.patreon.com/posts/152338...

Obviously it would be my episode- which you should go listen to right now

A burnt offering being made to an idol of Zamparan, patron god of oath-takers, warriors, and repentant adulterers. According to legends, he was decapitated by the jealous spouse of his lover, only to be reanimated and given the head of a dog. Worshipped in Karazad.

the three highland peoples; those of Dunezad, who live in the alpine forests; those of Urazad, who live along the highland plateau; and those of Karazad, who live alongside the great bog, in the realm of the GREAT TRANSFORMER

Necromancers of the embalmer's guild, returning from a supply delivery by starlight

An Urazadi warrior and his thrall on guard duty at the Tower of the Archons - the former residence of the Demiurge's lieutenants, now home to the Urazadi contingent occupying Karazad

“Evenings on a farm near dikanka” is an absolute banger- a witch who is fucking every dude in the village (and a demon), a sorcerer who tosses dumplings into sour cream with his mind, and so much more

a Karazadi corpse-driver, wearing the emblem of his master, overseeing some undead intra-city cargo transport

Apparently this book is now #1 in the micro-niche of “science fiction alien contact graphic novels” - so “Amazon best seller” is now going on my business card

Inside the crypt of a powerful karazadi noble. The ossuary niches here are built into a protective idol of a horned marmot, to deter the living and dead from interfering with the remains. Long bones are kept in the niche to the right, and fine bones gathered into a bronze reliquary on the left.

"We do things the old-fashioned way here, all digital"

Inside the public sauna, under the watchful eyes of the idol of a lesser war god, women of Karazad enjoy a steam

One of the few public temple-saunas of Karazad to survive the Domekan invasion. Built by the Demiurge to cleanse and fortify the subjects of his city, perhaps as an apology for the many troubled spirits that his ill works unleashed upon them…

next time, i swear, we'll have condor-sized ravens

The Demiurge's keep - where the necromancer king and his lieutenants self-immolated, rather than face capture at the hands of the Domekans

This is the best and one of the most fashionable travel options, folks. Take note!

A merchant’s cart, with Domekan guards, on the road to Turedar... This month, on the patreon, I’ve posted the first section of the illustrated prose work that these illustrations are for: A little story called “The Necromancer’s Daughter”. (Link in profile)

Ringing in the new year by showing off this sinister Iron Age fantasy commission for @lokamayadon.bsky.social

Two soldiers from the Domekan garrison take it upon themselves to harass a local talisman peddler on the streets of Karazad. But more caution is in order- one who walks these haunted streets bare-faced may hold powerful magics of their own…

Oh I’m a huge huge huuuge fan!

The rarest of homunculi found in Karazad: the necromancer’s familiar. Man-flesh and raven feather drawn over a wooden keel, a golden arrowhead to see through, and grasping fingers with which to carry messages, pilfer, and perch. Only constructed by the most skilled of the region’s miracle workers…

Something magical is coming, at the end of the week (link in bio)

The realm of the Great Transformer- the Great Bog. Don’t stray from the trackway, and risk getting lost in the mist, for before long you’ll be resting in the still black waters, or pulled under the peat…

The frontier village of Ovanad. Seat of kings in ancient times, its tower-fortress was a necromancer stronghold until it was destroyed by the Domekans, early in their campaign.

Two Zaticar mercenaries and their pack-kapro, on their way to Karazad. After their own city-state, Zatico, fell to a Domekan seige, most of the city’s surviving defenders turned to sellswordery

Having had a couple of flippant retweets break containment and go viral on twitter recently, I can say with confidence that said virality does bupkiss for actually growing your following… instead just inviting thousands of strangers to make their own flippant replies and retweets.

Syberia II (2004) Developed by MC2-Microïds.

Lord Doka, the Domekan military governor of Karazad. The traditional skull-cap favored by Domekan nobility has been modified for his new domain, with a fold-down mask for spiritual defense. Notably, a karazadi nobleman's helm, presumably a war trophy, is displayed on his desk.

One of my pride and joys on the hobby bookshelf, with two masterpieces by @brianduguid.bsky.social on the bottom left - I shudder to think of the money I've spent on it all, but don't regret a single cent. A rather respectable collection of Gloranthan material, I'd like to think.

Today on the patreon - the first issue of of NIGHTSOIL, collected in a handy pdf. On a distant, barren world, a hermit is forced to rejoin the society he tried to reject, decades ago... (with colors, of course, by Sergey Nazarov). www.patreon.com/posts/nights...

In more Six Ages facts - one of my favorite groups from both games were the oft-marginalized fisher-gatherer Weeders; their reed clothing and stone-age tech/way of life compared to their more 'advanced' neighbors was extremely endearing, and their attire looks amazing - most sympathetic folks!

If you'd like to see a bunch of my old @chaosium.bsky.social work, I've got it up here (for free) on the patreon - absolutely some of my fave work from that period! Nothing I love like bronze age fantasy of any and all types

An Urazadi hunter shows off his prize- a horned marmot, a much-coveted source of pelts, meat, and honour on the high plateau. Held in high regard among the clans for its bravery, and frequently used as symbol and totem

Today on the patreon - the last christian priestess and a clone cultist have a chat (on their way to prison). www.patreon.com/posts/nights...

A bone-armored chieftain of Urazad (and his thrall), from the alpine plateaus above Karazad. Many of the tribes of Urazad allied with the Domekans during their invasion, eager for loot and revenge.

A very fun Roy universe portrait commissioned by a pal- featuring a sentient arthropod alien, two cephalopods from the far future, and all the euhumanist pressure suit action you can handle (work in progress in next post)

god - it turns out when you try and rip off a panel from akira, its an incredible amount of work

I thought I was prepared for how long this would take. I was wrong. picrew.me/image_maker/...
