I was back in Lisbon this week for work, some from the morning walk to the studio. #photography #lisboa #lisbon

What's in me sketchbook:

Karrilon is a Bell founder and forge cleric. a Boghill (Bugbear) that tries to keep a low profile in human settlements. #art #characterdesign #dnd

Hellooo, I hope you all managed to hallowe ALL the weens!!

Enjoying just exploring shapes and patterns through the theme of an old idea I had rolling around.

ROC posts, over a thousand of these were built across the UK during the cold war. What I have always found strange about these little fallout coffins is that they were right under everyone's noses & the idea of being down in one, at the edge of some random field just... left there.

The most chthonic hulders in Underoak live deep underground where smells are used for navigation, cultural signalling, declaring warnings etc. This guards fill the air with incense showing their allegiance. It's an overwhelming place for first time visitors from the surface. #characterdesign

Trying to spin up a Draw Steel character, got the design ratios wrong here, not enough focus and rhythm in the design. I think I'll keep the ginkgo biloba leaf pattern in the cape and the drape. I tend do go through a few iterations before I find a design that lands satisfactorally. #sketchbook

Mausritter is the only RPG I've run this year, I've played in others, but as a result... I am writing the next Mausritter adventure in a (human) model village, it's going a bit The Prisoner rn.

It's getting to peak moss'n'shroom of the autumn 🧡 Sample from the garden -

Go and check out l_aciel's lovely dailies 👀

this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin

Junonia is a Hobgoblin, Smuggler Wizard. Her spell book is made of carved teeth, ivory & shells that she wears across her body & hair. Her wetsuit is made by the drow from giant nudibranch leather. Inspiration for her coat is a 1947 Charles James evening coat. #art #dnd #characterdesign

As Brian's manager, I will say he is a joy to work, can cover a super diverse range of subjects - Excellent at 3d & 2d, more importantly really lovely. He also paints great bats. He'd be an asset for any team.

Sheng doing Sheng things, so much clarity and excellent ideas. When you work with Sheng he just does this for every single task, it's such a joy & you want to send everything to 3d.

Show me how you draw armour! 🐣

On the train sketching

I keep seeing people mentioning Mastodon again, I'm on there over here if that's your thing - mastodon.gamedev.place/@badgertracks

On the train sketching

Post a mage! Softly voiced and ever so moist.

The core problem with the Silicon valley, the tech industry, and STEM more broadly, is its absurd belief that things like algorithms or machines can be divorced from their human origins and held up as some sort of neutral objects far outside the human condition. Surprise, fuckheads!

On the walk back from the post office, I saw this friend on the path heading towards the road. Their fate was either going to be foot squished or tyre squished. Luckily I have found these in the garden... So like a mad person...

the icon, the artist, the art 🦡 I choose this sketch randomly forever ago and now I think I'm stuck with it as my pfp.

The Ocelot Knight - Because wizards are notoriously bad at returning borrowed magical books (with awful excuses), the library had to train knights specifically to deal with the late fees of book hoarding wizards. #characterdesign #dnd #worldbuilding

Various sketchbook Sorcerers! Some D&D characters from sketchbook land.

A couple of sketchbook artificers, friend's PCs! #art #characterdesign #dnd

Hey new people, I mostly post my art and some industry advice. I haven't been particularly active this year due to both outer and inner worlds. But I've got some drawings to post.

The "BBC is impartial" the same way "Israel has the right to defend itself" - everybody long knows they're lies to empower fascism and destruction, but we go through the motions of hearing powerful people say it every time.

And that is launch! A joy to see it out there, also nice to lift my head up from production a bit. I hope to open the sketchbook again and get share some more scribbles with you all soon (as well as some of my team's fantastic concept art from DA). #duneawakening www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOGw...

It's happening! Here we go, what a journey it's been so far, with an amazing team who are a joy to work with. I haven't been asked to stop pitching Chairdogs, yet!

never let a good painting go to waste~!
