Thank you! And pros of living in Brazil! It's birdsong all day long here in São Paulo.

thank you!!

:D

Finally getting around to painting some Magic APs. :) obligatory tape removal vid:

what you described is what they hope to build eventually btw

Any old thing you like sits amidst a network of you-things and that's what I think really matters. To tap into that place and express who YOU are is fucking liberating and to engage with others' authentic art is deeply moving to me bc it is an honest connection to someone else's soul

It felt constraining to cram that in under 300 characters! But Lodestar to Karamouska was a very honest approach to a setting booklet that isn't strictly bound to conventional structure of RPG material. I wanted to write a good book first that's just as good as game material.

It's a traveler's guide to Karamouska. It serves as a booklet which can be simply read for leisure but it can be used as a campaign setting. Features local accounts, rumors, items, myths, games, personalities, stories, neighborhoods and factions. Digital is PWYW and physical is on Exalted Funeral!

experimented with black toned paper yesterday. loved it.

thanks man I needed to read this. 🙌 was stressed over some art shit.

...and that's why some fantasy really bores me nowadays. Why does everything need so much reasoning? Why can't the heart drive more of the execution? Some creators explain and rationalize so much of their "mysterious" world that they kill it in the process; and the lore becomes an autopsy.

There's just so much going on. I attribute at least some of the allure to the nonsensical vs. photorealism. I can't help but imagine they weren't thinking of function or realism when placing the gems & filligrees, they were just trying to make the most mystic, dangerous tome; aka going by heart.

As a kid, these covers were absolutely alluring. The gritty, over-engineered metalworks riddled with sinuous runes and bejeweled notches seemed to be everywhere in the 2000s. This unique aesthetic imprinted itself on my mind ever since and, today, still contributes/informs some of my own designs.

The full moon in a sea of mottled clouds tonight is basically why people become artists.
