Drawing of an older man holding up a pistol. Cracks on the drawing indicate heβs shot two times. Broken shards of glass all around him.

Drawing of a petite woman in a battle stance holding a scythe thatβs worn. Sheβs got on brown/red hued attire with specks of gold accessories. Around her are eyes constantly watching her.

The eyes, I believe, are very cool.

Played it againβ¦ and again!! Now I think itβs ready to sew. I want to put it on a tote bag or something!!
Also, may have been inspired to make a system hack and turn this into a roguelike. A sewlike, if you will. Anyone wanna playtest? π
A crude photo of a beautiful map. The fold lines of the paper are still present because I BOUGHT that shit, unfolded it on the floor, and took a photo so I could draw on it digitally. The saturation and contrast have been carefully tweaked for maximum map clarity. The map has an ornate border, a large compass at the top, and a cute series of hand drawn mountains, rivers, forests, and other landmarks. Two grey buttons are digitally drawn on the screen, as well as an incredibly difficult to see golden thread marking a winding path between them. For a small section on the far left, a purple dotted line accompanies the gold. A bright red diagonal slash is in the bottom right hand corner, marking where the journey almost ended.
Played A MENDING by Shing Yin Khor this morning and WOW! That was fun, and now I'm itching to make things. Mapped it out digitally because I'm a ~perfectionist~ and will go back to sew it later! #AMending #solottrpgs #keepsakegames
(we can post our journeys right? lmk if I need to take this down!!)

For @astorysmith.bsky.social π thank you! #art
Potentially interested! Give me a dm
Went on a worldbuilding SPREE last night and now the Mythic Steppe has seven gods, each with their own order of cleric-knights
Would love love love to be added!
*CLANGS POTS AND PANS TOGETHER* DING DING DING COME GET YOUR JUICE!!
Maybe itβs just me, but plugging an ad for your product in whatβs supposed to be an apology is crazy work
Yes pleeeeeease!
β¦And if I said I wanted to make a TTRPG inspired by Charli XCX and the King in Yellow?
What of it?
For the last few weeks, Iβve been plagued with dreams of really interesting character ideas and stories that have NOTHING to do with my current projects. Last nightβs feature was a blind MMORPG player running from the gameβs police by using hacked itemsβ¦like cool! what do I do with that!!!
A sunlit street lined with market stalls. Lanterns hang above nondescript goods, and a cloth sash hangs between the stalls. In the distance, a tower is outlined against the clouds.
Fifth one didn't fit in the above, but look how pretty this market is! And you can read the accompanying story at the following link: www.worldanvil.com/w/the-city-o...
An ornate palanquin (a litter with posts for carrying) is borne by four armored guards. A hand is visible waving from the windows.
A gambler with circular sunglasses gives a smirk, beckoning the viewer to sit at a vintage, circular gambling table. Poker chips and cards are visible.
A tiered pagoda, towering against the sky. The lighting and perspective give it a sense of foreboding awe. Light foliage is visible in the foreground.
A fierce Chinese dragon, mid roar. Its coiling body takes up the frame, and one large claw is outstretched. It is majestic as fuck.
And now for something completely different: check out this AWESOME art I commissioned from @collateralds.com !!! I wanted some pieces for the wuxia-inspired campaign setting I've been working on, and boy did they deliver!
Sorry to have missed you! Donβt worry, there will be plenty more opportunities down the line. (If I can get the funding, that isβ¦)
Working on #Fayrel&Co stuff and finally figured out the perfect way to pitch my show: #AceAttorney meets #DungeonMeshi
Yes, there will be gay lawyers.
Yes, there will be an updated autopsy report.
...I'm so damn excited for this pilot episode.
My goal is to have a very well-polished pilot episode and pitch package, then shop that around until I can get the funding for a full series. If anyone has any contacts in that realm (or for any of the above needs), please do reach out!
In the meantime, you can find me writing TTRPG stuff here!
This project means quite a lot to me, and I'm hoping that the care and effort I put into it will make up for the lack of concrete timeline... After the cast is finalized, next comes recording, audio editing, composing, getting a graphic designer for a proper logo--the list goes on and on!
As I send out the long-awaited audition results, I wanted to thank everyone for the attention #Fayrel&Co has gotten. We had so much wonderful voice acting talent to listen to, and I feel very blessed to have had so many people interested in my silly fantasy blorbos.
Welcome welcome!
