Hive Moderation or no, they feel heavily AI. Tristan's out there doing the lord's work on this story. We just cannot accept this kind of practice in our field, or the absurd denials from the person in charge of art approval.

It's late, have a dragon.

Various paintings from the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum

A celebration we can all support, I'm sure.

2003-2025 Fuck 🖕 AI Believe in yourself!

ARCHIVE DIVE back to some pieces from Monuments of the Reikland for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. 5 years ago, though!? Good god, that kind of flew by o.O

OK it's Hallowe'en so let's drop some spooky pictures :D We'll start with the fiery sermon of an Absolvers Chaplain:

Dreadnought! This chap has the loadout I used for my first Dread, waaay back in the late 90s :D

QRP your dark art 🖤

Figures in action! Honestly, these kinds of character pieces are often pretty challenging, but when they come together it's really enjoyable 😀

Quote your art with fire on 🔥

HOT FRESH NEW ART! Cover art for Sons of Russ, for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory! 🐺 I'll post the full trade dress version, and the sketch, later today.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! A recent private commission of a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Bretonnia-based adventuring party:

Have a great weekend! 😀

#portfolioday is here again! Hi everyone! I'm Sam, freelancer and illustrator on a variety of Warhammer tabletop roleplaying games. Here's a tiny slice of what I do:

I… don’t have a substack?

It's my birthday! Huzzah! 🥳🍰🎉 Y'know what I'd like? Quote repost with HOW YOU DRAW DWARFS!

ARCHIVE DIVE! Going back all the way to 2019 for these framing device spot illustrations for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Art vs Artist

Leftovers are always fun. I had made too much black cardamom tomato rice and so I tried turning tonight’s dinner into okonomiyaki-inspired pancakes with steamed garlic brocc, cheese in between the pancakes, kimchi, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds. Mayo and sriracha drizzled. Tasted very nice.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! This is the Tzaangor Shaman, from Champions of Chaos for the ttrpg Age of Sigmar: Soulbound 😀

Hey Brits! I'm sure you've seen this, but quite a lot of us don't dig this move. I certainly don't. Seems invasive and quite open to abuse (and hacking!), especially looking at the shower in power and the worse shower waiting in the wings. Yeesh. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Book Cover Artists! QRP with your book covers 📖 Technically these *are* book covers.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! Another from Champions of Chaos, for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, this is the Putrid Blightking!

HOT FRESH NEW ART! A two-headed Ash Drake confronts a perhaps outmatched little warband, in this illustration from the just-released Champions of Chaos for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound!

Look, I think they got it wrong. It's not 'RAPTURE' day, it's 'RE-UP ART' day. They just got the letters in the wrong order 😀 How silly. So let's re-upload some art!

Veggie beef-style wrap, with roasted garlic mustard and thyme aioli, long-cooked caramelised onions, tomatoes, and rocket, in whole wheat tortillas. I liked this dish. Good picnic food.

Artists! Quote with your night art! ✨️

To my US friends - I'm horrified, and I'm so sorry. I'm also appalled by the the AfD's rise here, and by events in the UK. It's a lot, close to home. Make the good arguments, make art, look after each other, and don't fall into despair. And fuck giving serious credence to fascist talking points.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! Spoiled in a review of the upcoming Champions of Chaos for the Age of Sigmar ttrpg Soulbound, this is the Ogroid Thaumaturge!

ARCHIVE DIVE! Some rather fun little pieces from a few years back for Lords of the Spire, an adventure for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory.

Monsters from Tribes and Tribulations, for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!

White bolognese, from Sam the Cooking Guy but veg mix is from healthylivingjames’ mushroom and walnut bolognese recipe. Got to make some subs when you’re veggie (including the cheese, can’t easily get veggie parm at my local supermarkets…). Anyway, a new dish to me, easy and going into rotation.

Haven't done one of these in a while but let's do a THEN vs NOW (ish)! 2003 vs 2024 (although maybe I painted it in 2023? I forget). Quote and share your art progress pics! Only rule - no talking down your past work.

Select private commissions over the last year-ish:

Cooking from this 1990 book I found in a zu verschenken box - I made a surprisingly delicious sweet bell pepper soup with poached egg. Felt Spanish-inspired. But crayfish butter? That’s a weird ingredient to only require 20g of. I did veggie swaps for it. This is good for my language learning :D

Icons and portraits from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, 40k Wrath & Glory and 40k Imperium Maledictum. I always try to bring some real personality across in these little spot pieces, whether they're symbols or faces.

Belated birthday cake for my partner - she really digs carrot cake with a ton of mix-ins so I set to, and it’s lovely!

I am very much alive and will be out in public this very weekend. Both days! Tremendous!

HOT FRESH NEW ART! An Eversor Assassin lands and prepares to begin his bloody work, in this illustration from Voll Adventures for the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum!

If you see this, post a tank :) What?! #WarhammerCommunity

Bad lighting but y’know. A 1651 French onion soup recipe from the wonderful @tastinghistory.bsky.social 5 ingredients + bread! Is it up to modern French onion standards? No, but it’s good, and it’s 374 years old. I love tracing the family trees of recipes, seeing how they changed as societies did.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! The cover painting for Voll Adventures for the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum! I'll have the sketch and thumbnail to share later, as well as the full trade-dress version 🥳
