And I think I'm calling her done, bit sloopy on the values but we'll blame that on going heavy on the red.

One day I'll find a pathfinder table for her, but for now she goes back on the shelf with all of the other character conepts.

A knife and small pouch hangs from a belt she is wearing whild she is holding a wooden staff in her left hand. To the right of her an insert of an image of her angry eyes looking directly forward is seen. Below that is the text "RESENTMENT" segmented into four sections.

"Then there came a terrible day; a shift in the paradigm. There was one abuse too many. The magic learned rage, and how to defend itself."

My latest piece. Going out to supporters first with a step-by step, and then available on my shop soon. #illustration

Indie TTRPG publishers; here is another absurdly huge font bundle to consider picking up for your personal collection. They tend to give you a lot of potential value for your buck, and are clearly licensed for commercial use.

I get that you have to be your own cheerleader for your own projects - if you're not hyped about it, then who will be?

At the same time though, I would rather sit, alone, in a dirty toilet stall than go out and bounce around waving pom poms...

It’s kinda dumb that there’s a character named Sauron and one named Saruman. That’s like having your two main villains named Becca and Rebecca.

"Nocturne in Crimson"
Acrylic on canvas board
Xero Reynolds, 2025

My first piece on canvas is done! Pretty pleased with it, and there will definitely be more to come. 🤘
An acrylic canvas painting depicting Dracula's castle from Castlevania lit by a bright red moon, and sitting amongst high mountains, and a deep pine Forest, that all transitions into a drop of blood spattering at the bottom of the canvas. I am holding up my finished painting, while wearing a bright blue shirt, black rimmed glasses, and my black leather cowboy hats topped with steampunk goggles.

Hey all.

After moving funds around for rewards and bills, I could use some help. Im short on expenses from this last month and can't in good conscience take on anymore commissons now.

Your support would mean the world to me

Shares would mean even more.

@heroforgeminis.bsky.social and @darringtonpress.bsky.social 8$ per exclusive pack? It's not the price it's the precedent of charging for exclusive packs.

Both of you are fueled by fans and this feels like a gross cash grab with the potential to snowball into microtransaction hell.
