Following in the wake of the 'Roller Stamp' I designed recently, comes my take on the Inkwell and Quill. Featuring a button activated inkwell with ink application, a rolling quill tip and a sealed bottle of orange ink. #b3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gameart #indiedev
A collected render of my take on an inkwell, quill and an ink pot. They're constructed from wood which is painted in varying shades of red and greenish blue. Trimmed in a golden metal and featuring elements of clay, namely the two rollers. The text reads "Inkwell & Quill". A render of the quill and a close up of its paint splattered roller as well as two different perspectives of the inkwell, one from the rear and the other from front/side. A collection of close ups that highlight details of the inkwell. The siphon area that features a pointed tip to pierce the seal of the ink pots and openings to draw the ink into the internal reservoir. The paint splattered roller that is used to bring the ink up and apply it to the quill as its held against the spinning surface, ensuring the quill tip spins and is given an even coat. A small piece of stylised text and the button that activates the rotating function. A isolated look at both the quill stand and the orange ink point. It's opening sealed by a piece of parchment that is adhered to the side of the pot. To use the ink, the pot is turned upside down and placed into the opening on the inkwell. It's seal is punctured and the ink will flow through small openings in the siphon.

It's my birthday, apparently? What if we do the obligatory artshare thing 👀

Hi. I'm Paul, an artist & art director who has worked on a million games and game designer working on my first TTRPG, Pale Tides. I like dogs and supporting artists.

Some character art for Humblewood. A crow assassin wielding daggers, a moonlit sky and the great tree city in the background. A racoon bandit throwing dice in the air in a forest setting. A little... mouse guy? With leaf wings looking very proud of himself. Two undead birds, one wearing armour, in a dark forest. A couple of background paintings for Daggerheart. One is a sprawling city at night with a couple of vagabonds in the corner, the other is a plains environment with a bright sunrise and a big... Creature. And Bedouin looking people who live in tents. Some of the 40+ Magic: the Gathering cards I have painted. I don't remember all of the names, ask me a question if you want a specific description! Some scenes for Dungeons & Dragons. A tiefling in a haunted shop, ghosts reflected in the mirror. A woman fending off werewolves in a burning city. A big... dwarf boss guy firing ice bolts while being attacked by heroes. A mushroom guy being tortured by a... Okay, I don't remember what these guys are called either. But he's having a rough time.

Crownbreakers is a fast-paced card game of revolutionary violence. At least that's what I say when people ask me to describe the game. You can find out if that's actually true by PLAYING THE DEMO, RIGHT NOW!

STACKING turns 15 years old this Sunday. Unbelievable. I'm going to share some random things this week I have kicking around from back then. How about some doll concepts I did to kick things off? We've got Charlie Blackmore and his family, the Evil Industrialists, and some charming Misfits.
