A wistful #WishlistWednesday.

Mandrake is a rural life sim, and our first game to feature actual weather.

You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear you love it! 😊

I was lucky to paint the cover for this one!

Beautifully put!

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Some close-ups:

I was also asked to add gold foil design to the cover. I thought it'd be perfect to make it into snake scales and coil lines.

Thank you for having me!

I also did the page end design for this edition -- very happy with how those turned out (it's more starry snakes). I think the cover ended up being one of my favourite pieces this year.

Thank you so much!

Aw, thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the mosaic!

Thank you!

That's fantastic, happy to promote for Sarah, haha! Thanks!

Thank you I appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I was anxious about the mosaic and probably spent more time on it than I should have... So compliments about it are very effective, thank you haha!

Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah!

Not only because I was entrusted with such a key gig (although that did blow my mind at the time), but also because FFIX was such a big part of my childhood -- I can't believe I got to paint for it in an official capacity. Huge thanks to Matt for this assignment!

I am so proud to have this illustration as part of my portfolio.

An illustration from Mandrake. A ruined red brick archway in a lush green open space, with a river, brick bridge, simple wooden fence and dirt path.

We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore.

Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵
