Doom of the Dragon Grafter is a level 9-10 adventure for Draw Steel about confronting Lord Pulposa— a voiceless talker who keeps creating dragons, harvesting their DNA, and grafting it onto himself to become the ultimate draconic life form.

I was feelin' kinda seasick, but the crowd called out for more.”

I am in love with my new workflow! I tried it first with the Gol art but that was messy. This is my first really polished art using this method and I love it!
This one depicts an orc from Nalar which is my setting. I might one day try making a setting supplement for draw steel, but no plans rn.

Folks, less than 24 hours left to back Nomas! ('Ground floor' backing is like 30 euro, by the way)

If you want to bring your #DrawSteel group to Capital, then this is the closest thing I've seen so far! Drag n drop organizations, monsters, named NPCs, the whole shebang

In any case, Happy New Year!
