Cover for THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL -- upcoming romantasy book by Sarah K. L. Wilson.

Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah!

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.

I think I can finish the Deluxe Edition of the game this weekend. (That's what I'm calling it now. Fight me.)

You guys, this game looks Pretty Great if I say so myself.
A preview showing a spread of pages. On the left is written "Overview & Rules" in fancy display font. The spread is dominated by a photograph of dandelions. On the right is a photograph of a blurred girl with a turned face. Her facial features are not visible, except for the curve of her jaw and ears.

The shirt is loose fitting and it's color is black to gray gradient with white stars coming up from the gray and dispersing on the shirt. The hands of the figure are posed with one hand pointed at the side and the fingers spread while the other is in the air. Around both hands are swirls of bright purple magic. On the figures shoulders, resting comfortably against their purple hair and black beanie, is a gray and black tabby cat whose eyes are the same bright purple as the magic

Redesigned Nils, a former opera performer turned water spirit!

Had a lot of fun trying to incorporate old and new elements hehe
Character sheet of He Ning Lin, shortened to NIls, is a former opera performer turned water spirit. His color scheme is pink, blue and white, and his outfit reflects both the aquatic nature and past life. He is holding a fan and staring coyly while manipulating water that resemble fish.

sundang langit's core rules rewritten in a different style i've been developing
# ii. and this is how the world answers when you defy the world, and act with an outcome uncertain. the world knows the consequences. gather dice, a fistful. a number equal to: *root* and *branch* and *flower* and *context* then throw them like bones. like prayers. a **5** or a **6** is a *strike*. against the world. against god. a **1** or a **2** or a **3** or a **4** is a whisper. a *miss.* a success yet bidden. *you can evoke any number of your flowers* like mantras. like litanies. each one must be within reason. each one will give a die. fate trembles before you. context is of the situation, of gear, of item whichever makes sense, add it. just one die. invoke as many within reason. you are the sum of all your parts. *yes. including the world.* the world will know what it wants against you. it is old and tired. it has already decided. the Judge is the medium: the game is a ritual. she will tell you what the world wants. this is the World’s **demand.** one strike for a task mortal. two strikes for a daunting act. three strikes for a dare heroic. four strikes for a deed divine. five strikes to inscribe legend upon reality’s skein. six+ strikes for the realm of impossibility. that is to say: Truth. *example* climb a temple’s bas-relief walls*:* steel and finesse. the wall cares not; it has existed long before you. the judge says: you need two strikes. *and* lie to the knight. heart and guile. the knight believes what he wants. the judge regales: you need one strike. *and* to realize and understand a dead star’s name: crown and eschatology. beyond impossibility. the judge wails: you need seven strikes from the stars and the hells. you will never achieve this. unless you attain Revolution.

drew one of my ex coworkers who routinely wore the best fits to work!!
A woman with orange hair wearing a fluffy short-sleveed cropped jacket over a collared blue top that barely covers her chest. To compliment this, a short puffy white skirt and black thigh-high leather boots are worn, coupled with a purple sash and fabric that fans out at the back. She is looking sassily at the camera, one hand on her waist, and the other holding a translucent black sash.
