BW version of the minerals.

I'll be uploading these as stock art on my Patreon next year, 4 minerals per bimester.

But the entire set is already available for purchase if you don't want to wait: salvaterra.itch.io

Also, art prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/salv...

I am SO STOKED for y'all to see the absolutely Villainy that Carlos has packed into Pistolheart Volume 4! My contribution is just a dash of extra flavor on an already DELICIOUS piece. Go watch this video for some extended gushing about Carlos's kindness! (and y'know learn about Fear Me of course!)

Pistolheart Volume 4 testing has concluded. Thank you to all my wonderful testers, especially @filamena.bsky.social, @machineiv.bsky.social, @itsnicodegallo.bsky.social, @jaybird.games, @dngnclub.itch.io, and all my mentees for helping me get over the last hurdle to make this the best volume yet.

Roll for initiative, folks: The Monsters Know What They're Doing is back, and it's REMONSTERED!

All the battle plans you've relied on for years are freshened up for the 2025 Monster Manual, accompanied by brand-new tips to make every fight more exciting. Get it now! www.spyandowl.com/re... #DnD

A copy of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING on a black cloth backdrop, surrounded by colorful dice. On the cover, five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid.

Tatiana absolutely NAILED the illustrations for this and many other pieces in the book!

A writer at @polygon.com asked me if I'd design a custom monster for his #DnD party. How could I say no?

Gratified to hear that his players dug the encounter.

Writing for a #Daggerheart setting book is wild, but seeing my characters coming to life through illustrations is SURREAL!!! 🤯

Jessicena is based on a night-light mushroom (genus Mycena), Phallicia on a veiled lady stinkhorn (genus Phallus), and Mr. Morel on a morel (genus Morchella)!

I've worked with this artist before and they are amazing!

It's been a great week in Daggerheart. #TheNewUnknown drops playtest 3, @tuckerauthor.bsky.social brings out Fractus's Beta manuscript and Jack Panic drops Strahd Must Die which has hundreds of good ideas for those who are hoping to start a dangerous quest in the Mist.

This painting was featured by the Chicago Ornithological Society in the fall issue of their quarterly magazine, The Chicago Birder

The org does great work with restoring and maintaining local habitats and advocating for protections for our local and migratory birds!

Woke up *really* early, did some drawing with new glasses; keeping lines simpler and more impactful rather than the minute detailing I usually do (to ease my eyes into them). #werewolf #fantasyart #comicart #WIPart

A mangled werewolf showing signs of fur, skin deterioration showing exposed skeletal structure; puss-filled green toxins bubbling to the surface of its skin and venting as noxious clouds around it. Pose is a frenzied lean towards the viewer, 3/4 turn.

We're only $300 short of hitting the goal, folks!

If you like traveling through fantasy worlds with a little guy by your side, this is the book for you.

If you would rather *be* the party's little guy, this is also the book for you.
