It's been a hot minute since our #TTRPG game went on hiatus, and we resume playing tomorrow, so I sent out the RP warmup question a day early:
What book genre would your character read most or gravitate towards? Is there an IRL book you know they would particularly enjoy?
What's your answer?
Black-and-white ink illustration of an ancient stone grave chamber. A skeletal figure with spiked hair lies on a carved stone bier with one arm raised. Broken stones and debris surround the tomb, and a tall latticework structure fills the back wall, casting dense cross-hatched shadows across the chamber. A green badge in the top left corner reads “Funded in 48 hours!”.
Funded in 48 hours — thank you!
Ahu’s First Patrol has reached its Kickstarter goal, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support.
Stretch goals are now active. If unlocked, the book will gain 10 additional interior illustrations.

This Is Your Stop, a Wretched & Alone solo game about public transit, is here!
For the price of an all-day pass in my city, you can ride along and try to reach your stop in time. Ignore passengers. Be nice to the driver. You definitely didn't pass that tree twice.

Tonight was the opening of the group you show I was part of at This is Not a Toy Store.
A rad show, so many good pieces!

The cover of Noctopolis: An Apocalypse Keys Mystery from Calenmir's RPGs, which is formatted as a comic book newspaper cover. The central image is a group shot of seven superheroes. They include a dark-cloaked figure with a red mask, a Nightcrawler lookalike boosting up a fellow hero using water, a Black woman in powered armor giving the cloaked hero bunny ears, a tan woman with glowing spear & shield wearing hoplite armor, a St. Bernard waving at the camera, a heavyset white guy in street clothes and dazzle paint, and a pink-skinned person in a blue jay onesie. The caption names them as Chiropter, Water Weaver, Hex Wrench, Light Skirmisher, Anymorph, Captain Facepuncher, and Blue Jay, respectively. The snippet of the "article" begins: Noctopolis, NERZ - After robots swarmed the business district, six Project Paragon heroes and one vigilante arrived on scene

The world map for the series The Triempery Revelations by @triempery.bsky.social !
I loved making each and every one of these maps and I'm so proud of all the details! Hopefully you can get as lost in this world as I did!
Yeah I was hoping this way would give me a result I was happier with (still am I guess) than the other hagglethorn buildings so far. Normally for rope scatter I use washes over a cream/suede then dry brush and highlight back up, but I’m trying to minimize using washes with these buildings.
I don’t usually mind it, but it’s never been THIS much!
I’m also still not sure about this base color for the rope 😬
Dry brushing phase 1 done on these hagglethorn hollow buildings!
I… don’t think these are getting done before this weekend’s game 😅
They’re so close yet so far.

A promo image for a medieval style notice board posting - The poster is decorated with a border of leaves in shades of grey. In large cursive letters is a business name 'Silver Linings Bespoke Tailor'. The G's tail flourishes into a thread that passes through the eye of a large needle. The promo states this is a variant for Fantastical Geographic's Liora location - This poster is free to any patreon followers.
The latest #FanGeo release saw the reprise of a familiar #TTRPG poster with a new location - both as a scratch made ad in the magazine & as a poster variant in the exploration pack.
Since it's so similar to the original I'm releasing it free to all Patreon followers: www.patreon.com/posts/silver...
illustration of two octahedron-shaped floating islands. one is green, with towers and houses. the other is a snowy mountain range.
Heard you like dice-shaped floating islands.
These two are available as stock art until the end of the month and this is it. No purchase after it.

🎂 It's my birthday this week! 🎂
Sadly I still don't have a proper storage solution for working on illustrations & audio/video editing, and likely can't afford one for a while, so if anyone wants to chip in towards a birthday gift, it would be so greatly appreciated ❤️

A hand holding a stylus working on some detailing of a floor on a black and white map with a segment of wall, a sofa, a bench, and a table with a potted plant visible
Absolutely floored today... 😉
Am I doing too much, knowing I'll be throwing rugs down on top of the floor later? Yes, of course I am, because I'm a Fool of a Took, and I also haven't decided on the exact placements of said rugs yet. 😅
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Show me what you can do with just a pen.

An illustrated map drawn by Deven Rue of the fictional continent of Wildemount in the world of Exandria created by Critical Role.
A hand-drawn fantasy map of the desert city of Ank’Harel from Critical Role’s world of Exandria. The city is surrounded by mountains and desert sands. The map shows a vast city with hundreds of buildings, a palace and a lush garden district. Its bordered in a desert flower motif.
A drawing of a walled city map surrounded by farms and trees. The walls of the city bend and bow in odd ways to emphasize how quickly it expanded. The old walls are clearly visible within the city itself and mark off districts. Rexxentrum is a part of the fictional world of Exandria from Critical Role.
An illustrated map drawn by Deven Rue of the fictional city of Rosohna in the world of Exandria created by Critical Role. The city butts up against a large mountain and is surrounded by a hostile landscape. The center of the city looks lush and green with huge houses, some in ruins, as the city was built on the ruins of a much older city. The outlying dwellings look to be little more than huddled shacks surrounded by walls.
If you've ever wanted a huge print of Wildemount, I gotchu! Head over to my Ko-fi to grab a 36in print of my available CR maps, including Ank'Harel, Port Damali, Rexxentrum, and Rosohna! They are printed in archival ink on thick matte paper. Perfect for rolling out in front of your players!

a "blue-and-white" pencil sketch of a map of the western shore of Veridius. It has a long shoreline from north to south with the sea at west, with some bays, cliffs and a jagged portion up north, flanked by mountain ranges at east where it connects to the rest of the continent. It has a big swamp in the central area with a large "dead lake", plateaus just east of it. The landscape is dotted with woods and hills, plains and crossed by rivers. Roads in red, with many cities and villages along the way.

Three medieval fantasy style notice board postings on a wood board. The first parchment announces a 5000 gold reward to help quell a forest that is growing uncontrollably and will consume the town. The second poster asks for volunteers at a wildlife sanctuary. The final notice advertises the Festival of Renewed Light, an eclipse festival that also features a competition for a champion who earns the 'Blessing of Shadow'.
