Random #ttrpg idea inspired by @oozejar.com art: your base of operations in a mega dungeon is a hidden tavern that pops up in random places in the dungeon

#ttrpg work: Ya ever feel weird with it just being "Hey look at this cool art work I found that I put a thing on?" It feels more like collage work than "real work". But that's probably just Imposter Josh trying to gaslight me. Art by Adolf Hirschl

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Hello there!

I go by Xochilex, or Xochi for short. I'm an illustrator and motion designer and I mainly draw and post about whatever nerdy thing I'm currently into. I mostly post digital art, but I may also share some traditional art and my mini painting projects from time to time!

#xochiart
Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers in a "goth" outfit. Woman with long, green, flowing hair hold arm up, hand behind her head. She wears a black tank top with a sheer shirt over it. She also wears a short black skirt. Behind her the full moon shines bright, and the silhouette of bats can be seen flying by. In the bottom right corner, the text reads "Morrigan Aensland", written in a stylized gothic font. Digital illustration of Narset from Magic: the Gathering. A woman with long dark hair extends an arm forward, two fingers on her had raised. Blue magic swirls around her hand. Her long, dark hair billows toward the left. She wears a garb adorned in gold trim The illustration has a limited color palette, using a variety of blues and vibrant golds. Digital illustration of The Wanderer from Magic: the Gathering. A woman with white shoulder-length hair and a white kimono sits on a bench. She holds a cup in her hands, with stylized steam coming out of it. Her eyes are closed and her expression is relaxed. A shiba inu's head rests on her lap, the rest of its body covered by her crossed legs. The background is a stylized landscape with a setting sun in the horizon. Sakura trees in the mid and foreground are losing their pedals. Illustration of Yuriko from Magic: the Gathering. She stands triumphantly on a rooftop. The moon is behind her, with a silhouette of a tiger's head. The illustration plays with negative space, such that Yuriko's hair and clothes blends into the darkness of the background.

#ttrpg #wipwednesday work:
The front page of a one shot for the TTRPG Oswin's Guide to Fantastical Adventures. The one shot will be a free thing that has everything you need to run it Adjusted my "Concept" page. Moved the questions around to put the lighter ones up front, and the really chewy ones at the end.

Right. Two large project a month or so from completion. Time for me to hit the pavement looking for gigs. If you are, know of a publisher/ producer that could use the sort of work I do, or might be open to projects along my lines, please do say or spread the word.

The god pan looks over a smoky industrial landscape while wild roses wait for their time in the very foreground. Pencil, watercolour wash chalk and white paint on toned paper. Colour applied. A marsh in autumn at dusk. A fey creature clutches a glowing thing to their breast. In the background, a cathedral with a lit rose window looms and glows. Pencil, watercolour wash, chalk and white paint on toned paper. Colour applied. A Victorian greenhouse glows from within at the end of a flower lined path. Cherry blossoms in the very foreground. Pencil drawing with colour applied. ruined temples and statues in a desolate landscape. A vast figure moves between this and a full red moon. Pencil, watercolour wash , chalk and white paint on toned paper.

#ttrpg work: I have always wanted a more chewy 'Concept' section for character creation, and I'm trying out pointed questions to get there.
A list of 6 questions in a mock style of a "Help book": Who are you when you close your eyes at night? What do you want most in the world? When did you first get the desire for adventure? Where did you meet your first companion? Why cant you have what you want most? How do you want your story to end?

#ttrpg work for the day: I keep on wanting the Year Zero Engine Stepped Dice system to be a thing. I'm going to try a different angle with "cozy Frieren fantasy"
The TTRPG cover and credits page for Oswin's Guide The opening rules for the game. You roll a Stat die + a Skill die, those die sizes may change based on the moment, and you have a Spirit die that powers cool stuff like magic and special attacks.

I'm in a bit of a mood #ttrpg wise. I've been on Därkbrütal for a bit, it's time for something a bit light. I want a "happier" game, and the vibe is "What if the #dnd players handbook was written by a Hobbit?"
A TTRPG cover for "Oswin's Guide to Fantastical Adventures", a fantasy game presented in the format of "A Hobbit giving tips and tricks for adventuring through the world". The JRR Tolkien quote 'Its a dangerous business Frodo, going out your door'. This quote fulfills the energy I want to have going into design.

#ttrpg #wipwednesday totally not a #frieren idea using Year Zero Stepped Dice as the base:
Hand written notes. There are 4 Normal Stats (Brawn, Intellect, Charm, and Valor) with 3 specific Skills connected to each. The 5th Skill (Magic) is free range for narrative purposes. You want to fly, You may roll Magic + Finesse. You want a supernatural jump, you may roll Magic + Athletics. I'm still working on how to handle Mana.

"An armor called fantasy."
Personal piece inspired by reflections about escapism. #art
An illustration depicting a young boy sadly reading a book. The pages fly around him, forming the armor of a giant golden knight that serves as a protective shell. Arrows are stuck on the armor, while the knight stands on one knee, vigilantly holding a sword.

Inspired by @hairic.bsky.social s "Sghorbi", for #wipwednesday I'm trying to draw some stuff for my power metal fantasy #ttrpg Ragnarockers
Pencil sketches of a concert stage with a familiar ruby eyed statue set piece, and Cliff the bass player. He's SUPER chill and he's got one of those Kei Trucks in case you need to move anything.

Working on lore for the #ttrpg Ragnarockers, and "Soulpyre" and "Golgothan Transept" are the best metal names ever 🥰
Description for a TTRPG creation myth of the Soulpyre, a concept of "We're all gonna burn out eventually, be cool while you're here". The opposite of the Soulpyre is the Golgothan Transept, a collective that desperately clings to life by draining others of it.
