Scota, the Egyptian princess who sailed to Ireland in a coracle to hang out with Fionn Mac Cumhaill in some of the Celtic myths.
Painted for the wonderful @fionnfolklore.bsky.social’s Fenian art challenge, where artists chose a story from their vast archive of recorded mythology and folktales.

Now there’s a hole in the sky / and our superhero is trying to close it with her super-powers! From ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’, from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. (While I love comics, I’ve never been a superhero fan, so that’s why I always get a bit giddy whenever I talk about these.)

This is #3 in a series of threads about Gloranthan art hanging on my walls. This one is so good, I bought it twice, first as a commission for my book, The Voralans, and here as the original hand-drawn ink art from @leeoconnor.bsky.social. In the book, this picture is in full colour, added digitally.

Scientist getting zapped by weird science reactor from @theonyxpath.bsky.social’s ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ superhero tabletop role-playing game. Looks like this’ll be what gives him weird powers then, chief. Zap!

It’s all true! I was there, man! And this was loads of fun and it was great to meet you, Olga!
I had the best time at Chaosium Con UK this year. Met amazing people, played hillarous games and learn so much from my fellow keepers and players.
I am also the owner of the best souvenir an amazing art work of my cats riding my dog into battle. Done by the talented @leeoconnor.bsky.social

You guys have really gone for these (thank you!) so here’s some still photos of those playing cards. So they’re all gone for now, but there’ll be a Print on Demand version soon. Gotta reformat all the art & draw SOME 20+ EXTRA CARDS first..!

All of the playing card art scanned in, lined up and flat-coloured. Bit of a squint-fest, but they’ll start singing a bit more once they’ve got more colour on them, stand by!

All the linework for the playing cards. You can see that the format and size changed a few times, almost like… I was making it up as I went along..!
The scanning of these was slightly more professional than the filming, you’ll be glad to know.
