Games are a unique art form. They are direct instructions, with an audience primed to follow them. They are unlike music. Unlike graphic arts. Unlike fiction. Game design is about how instructions focus us, inspire us, outrage us, motivate us, reveal us, help us connect to each other.

And our final backer-created Legend is The Leaper! Created by Thad Schrader, this frog-man has left the city to forge his destiny on the Wyrd Frontier. Will he survive? Art by George Sellas. If you'd like your own characters brought to life (Huckleberry or not), find him at www.GeorgeSellas.com.

Beautiful work!

Crom's so good, y'all

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

I wrote about Hugo Pratt.

It's not too late for any single American soldier to lay down their arms and refuse to commit mass murder in a tyrant's name.

I hope y'all take a chance on what's shaping up to be an incredible game chock full of amazing art and opportunities to tell challenging and engaging stories with close friends and total strangers alike

Really debating recolouring these mage hunters from a couple years back ...definitely might redraw The Client's piece though, was never FULLY content with it, but everyone else is great

Felt like drawing some Fan Art of Spear and Fang from ”Primal”. I wouldn’t say that they are terribly “On Model”, but I had some fun with them.

Heck…

Real darkness has love for a face. The first death is in the heart.

It is #PortfolioDay once more. I'm a traditional illustrator specializing in pen and ink. I've contributed to a number of fiction publications and TTRPG projects, and I am currently looking for more work!

More Stephen Graham Jones! This year has been full of great releases and reprints of older material and I'm excited to see what else he's been cooking up for us.

My favorite Lovecraft story is that one where the narrator was like "Boo hoo there's a generational curse in my family, all the male descendants die super young ever since we were cursed by the Sorcerer" and the Sorcerer just lived in their basement and shot each dude with a gun

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

You don't speak of dreams as unreal. They exist. They leave a mark behind them.

Struggling with some bills, be nice to be able to pay em and make some cool art at the same time. Reposts much appreciated 🤘

Happy 40th anniversary to "The Legend of Zelda" (released on February 21, 1986).

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

These weird little dudes are great

Good video essay. It's not about keeping individual "bad apples" accountable, or removing select individuals, or grand secret conspiracy, it's about systemic inequality (of gender, socioeconomic class) and people tolerating it, baked into the fabric of normalised way of perceiving the world.
