New artwork for Numenera! "To Emerald City Above", acrylics 20x10''. Btw, this is definitely my weird take on Wizard of Oz. The city is obvious, but I rather enjoyed interpreting the adventuring party riding a giant dog-eared jellyfish with a sphinx, robot, and construct in the mix.

Ancient stone ruins lie half-buried beneath snow and moss, tucked deep within a quiet winter forest. A narrow path leads past crumbling walls toward a dark cave entrance carved into the rock.

It's not painful to see. It's exciting to witness people feeling inspired to create in the face of obsolescence and in spite of automation. Keep at it.

Album cover art for "The Toad Folk II," by Tales Under The Oak. Depicts a lantern-lit procession of toads in medieval dress towards a cave full of mystical turquois light.

Golden sunlight filters through the windows, catching the scent of warm beeswax in the air. Rows of freshly dipped candles line the shelves, each one ready to light homes or rituals.

One of the fun things about the modern era of gaming is designing a new campaign and choosing one or two cartographers to design the campaign around.

Like, my new Planescape campaign is drawing from @forgotten-adventures.net and @zachmoeller.bsky.social battlemaps for locations, for example.

Suspended in the endless shimmer of the Astral Sea, this curious tavern clings to a floating rock pierced by glowing crystal spires.

The canopy of a colossal tree can be seen rising from a glade within the heart of the wood. Encircled by ancient standing stones and rings of bermed earth, a great treant is flanked by smaller trees growing to its north, south, east and west. Their root networks intertwine to create a hazardous forest floor of woody knots and trip hazards, concealed under piles of oversized leaf detritus.

Cover image Barbershops of the Floating City by Grace P. Fong. An Asian woman with long black hair, wearing a blue qipao-like dress with blue floral designs, holds a pair of black scissors and faces us. A shadowy figure, a woman in profile, stands behind her. At the women’s feet are gray-brown skyscrapers. Behind her is a pale-green-blue sky and a pale yellow sun-like circle surrounded by yellow rays and black angled points shaped like scissors. The Uncanny banner, May/June 2025, Issue Sixty-Four, list of author, essayists, and poets credits, and the editor credits, are on top of the image.

And here's the second Outlander endpaper I painted for LitJoy's special edition!

And another iconic scene from the book -- this time my cousin and her husband posed for me, since they had just the right height difference.
Like last time, I'll add some close-ups in the comments!

Nestled deep within the misty embrace of a mountain valley, the ancient Dwarf Fortress stands as a crumbling monument to a forgotten era.

Another day, another email from a cranky "AI" supporter having a temper tantrum over the fact that I'll ban them for using their favorite toy in our house. We do not allow the use of generative "AI" at all. That isn't going to change and you aren't being oppressed by our policy.

I know it's trite to even say, but being able to see the climate getting worse in our lived experience while people are saying it's not real is completely deranged.

Hey folks, a reminder:

Don't use Gen ai.

You can either afford an artist/stock art, or you can't.

If you can't, you can make your own art/designs or abstain.

Or you can cheaper your entire brand and communicate to your audience that you peddle low-effort garbage by using a plagiarism machine.

Ever want a friendly mammoth? I got to illustrate one such for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide for D&D! So cute!

Once again, I was working primarily in acrylic; this one got about 80 or 90% with paint before finishing touches in digital. Underpainting and tonal sketch yet available.

It's a very WotC move to try and wait until they think they can weather outrage over AI, but accidentally waiting until AI art is seen as art for boomers and grifters
