Ostensible Cat

The Lands of Ara Compendium is now available for free here .  I had a great time working on the cover and I think Daisey did an outstanding job on the color.  Here's a look at the color and further rendered B&W version.  Go check it out!

I've had a hectic time at work followed up with an out of country business trip next week.  Having a cold during allergy season is compounding the interest on all the fun and thus hampered my ability to do much on projects, let alone blog about it.  I am happy to say that I finished up two art pieces for Tim Shorts ' zine The Manor.  I really dig contributing to these OSR projects.  I've still got to work on a piece for Carter Soles over at the Lands of Ara blog .  Then it will be back to work on Delve!  I've decided I want to do some more ink wash art so I'll be doing that for the interior and a linoleum print front cover.  Just waiting for the linoleum to arrive in the mail and then time to have some fun.  Well, that's all for now.  Happy gaming everyone!

So, this is my 333 post here on Ostensible Cat.  I've been a little lax in posting for the past few months but things have been really busy.  Daisey and I have been working on various projects.  I've been deeply involved in many of my own projects such as Polstrus Lev (I've got almost the entirety of the first level keyed - 41 areas) as well as running my own weekly game (which is more like a biweekly due to all the illnesses going on around here in bella Italia).  I'm also working on my own zine that I'm tentatively calling Delve! Zine.  I'll have more on that in the future.  Here's a peek at some work I've done for the Lands of Ara blog here .  You can get a sense for Daisey's brilliant color work.  I'm going to do a full post about that piece once Carter and the gang release the compendium.  Daisey and I also did a cool piece for the Kobold Quarterly artistry contest recently.  They haven't started posting the pictures yet but I'll
