"Weeping Raven"

Backstory comic for a new OC, Eidenor Ang Caerwyn. Born warrior, ruthless and determined, I wanted to show off one of her earliest (and probably most formative) bloodings.

CW: blood, depiction of an injured eye

Widget. She helps around the bunker, prodding mutants with a shovel and changing the air filters and that sort of thing

Bluesky, my #1 neglected platform, here's a little patch I designed awhile ago. It's for Gnorrar, my Kholo barbarian

GHOST BRICKS HAS GONE PHYSICAL!

Retail options are a little limited, but you can now put it on your shelf, or hold it in your hands, or throw it into the sun!
Here's the link: books2read.com/emkane?forma...

Do it. Buy it. Destroy it with your powerful hands.

Little post card from my Pathfinder 1e Slayer, Arturus!

He's been out of the campaign for a while due to life circumstances, but I still love the group to pieces (some of them may even be reading this message right now) and figured they deserved to see how he's been~

A christmas themed post card featuring a sandy, sunny beach, blue water, and a lush mountain. A man stands middle of the image, smiling and raising his hand in a friendly gesture. Text on the post card reads "Happy Holidays from Ifriitah"

Tried my hand at some 1 bit #pixelArt for the #CafeDot secret matcha for Dando~

Really interesting process, super out of my usual wheelhouse, and tons of fun to boot!

Meet Jessie Miller, barkeep and owner of The Last Breath! Also, Macy's...

...best friend.

A woman with long black hair wearing a dress appropriate to the American western-era. She is also wearing a bolo tie and smiling.

Meet Macy-belle Redfield, the worst postal-worker to ever do it!
I'm getting ready to start on Greed, a cowboy-western comic following Macy-belle as her life of misfortune turns for the worse.

You can read a little more about my design thoughts here though: ko-fi.com/post/Meet-Ma...
A woman with disheveled hair wearing an outfit appropriate to the wild-west: a vest, tall boots, and suspender hooks.

Why are RPGs full of murder-able Mad Max cosplayers, and why are they so confident about waltzing up to the guy in a thousand pounds of armor with a minigun and hitting him with a bat?

I have some thoughts about that actually, and you can read them here: ko-fi.com/post/Nameles...

On: letting go. A line from Ghost Bricks.

I know how hard it can be to let go. I know that you never really do let go of something like that, you just hope that one day it lets go of you.

A line from Ghost Bricks that is stuck on loop in the back of my mind.

ko-fi.com/post/Ghost-B...

#quotes #apocalypse #writing #abandoned
There is a sound that fills in the empty places, the forgotten homes, the crumbling cities. Even in bunkers and crypts, cut off from the world by stone and soil, it can be heard clear as day. It's a sort of dismal silence, like a continuous, dying hum: the purr of hungering abandon.

A line from Ghost Bricks regarding magic, and maybe some other things.

ko-fi.com/post/Ghost-B...

#quotes #writing #apocalypse #magic
"In as simple of terms as I can put it: you move your hands and say the words, but the thing that really makes magic work is an invisible part of yourself. If you want to do magic, and I mean proper magic, then that is the thing you must train. It's a soul in some respects, but it's much more tangible than that."

A line from Ghost Bricks that makes me think of Autumn.

The wind picks up for a moment, carries itself through the branches and leaves, plucks a few of them and sends them twisting and swirling through the air like flakes of ash

Ghost Bricks is coming! The book! The one I wrote! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It'll be out on the 31st but pre-orders are opening up on various sites already! Read more here: shorturl.at/mGKli

Cover art by @jesterdraws444.bsky.social
Three young scavengers are standing in a darkened bunker hallway. Specters in military uniforms cling at their ankles. Light pours in through a bulkhead door at the end of the hall, whose walls are lined with graffiti and general wear. The words “Ghost Bricks” are written along the ceiling and walls in a spattered, glowing font.
