Some kind of symbol/insigna that I might use in my campaign world. Pretty happy with the linework on this piece. ⚔️

I’m utterly useless at drawing human proportions and faces, luckily I quite enjoy drawing old-school space marines where such skills aren’t really required 😅

The Black Tomb of the Wight Knight. One of my old top-down maps (I rarely draw this perspective nowadays). ☠️

The Hillshade Manor. One of my favorite aspects of old-school D&D is the idea of an actual end game where powerful player characters are expected to use the accumulated wealth of dungeon crawling loot to build a stronghold. It’s fun and provides a distinct goal for the game and campaign.

Another trad tattoo style arch and stairs. This was a much smaller and faster drawing than the previous one, but I like this one better. Still more practice needed to nail it, though.

Exploring old-scool americana tattoo aesthetics, and the mystery stairs is one of my favorite motifs. This was a first try, but I certainly need some more practice.
