Latest Art Commission


Here's the latest art commission that I just finished up today for petespan's Amherth project over on the Goblinoid Games Forums. I've got a few spell pictures in the works for Blair of Planet Algol's Jewel Throne Zine. I'll be working on those throughout the week. Should be fun!

    I love it! By far, pen and ink is my favorite medium, especially for gaming books. I think you did a great job on this illustration. Keep up the good work!

    Yeah, nice clean and high-contrast. I like the wood-block print feel as well.

    Look great! Where are they going, I wonder? The 'woodblock' look is great!

    Add me to the chorus. It's fantastic! Those motions and forces are wonderful and I can almost feel them.

    Thanks all. I've always really loved the medieval German woodcuts. The dramatic blacks, the crazy linework, it all just really blows me away. At some point I'd love to learn to do etchings. It's on my to do list for sure.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far.   For s

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).
