I've got a bit of a backlog of some Pokemon board designs so here's everyone's favorite threat to all reality, Giratina!

I'm still open for board commissions, so hit me up if you're looking for some new decoration.

#pokemon #skateboard
a mockup of a skateboard designed to have the pokemon Giratina on it. It is floating in front of a swirling beautiful background made to look like the distortion world.

I made an alternate version of the peak poster, in mono color because it feels a little more retro to me.

LEAVE NO SCOUT BEHIND #PEAK
a side by side image of two posters for the game peak. one is in full color, and features four scouts in bright colors, trying to pull each other up the cliff. the one on the right features the same image, but in one color, navy blue with the background in offwhite.

MAGIKARP. JUMP.

I finished this board design up a few days ago, no board for it to be painted on just yet BUT it could be yours if you want!

#pokemon #skateboard

I finished up this skatedeck design for @shura.gg on stream last week, and now all that's left is to paint it up (significantly easier said than done)!
a skateboard on a bright orange background with the logo for Shura's album "I got too sad for my friends". The skateboard design features shura leaning against a tree with bits of armor on, and arrows sticking out of the tree and her leg. The design is in black and grey, with hints of orange.

We're gonna work on a new Pokemon board design on Stream today! Join me at 1ET for some chill, coworking vibes.

We're still DEEP in the pokemon era, so if there's someone you wanna see, let me know! Maybe they'll make an appearance.

Another stargrave card I made recently featuring a fighter turned barbarian from one of my current campaigns.

I'm starting to lock in the actual card layout now! Progress!

A good Crow outfit commission I got to do for ‪@xdragonriderx.bsky.social‬ of her DA:V boy!

This was an incredibly fun one to work on, and I'm always grateful for the chance to draw blorbos.

Another NPC portrait for my #DND game, that I turned around into a card for Stargrave!
I'm looking to start taking portrait commissions in this style, because its my new favorite thing to do.

(Micah is also my Destiny OC who I just loooove to put into Situations™ )

#StargraveTCG #DNDOC
A portrait in the style of Hades' character portraits of a tired looking woman holding a sword in front of her. The blade, and her arm are charcoal and red tinted. Another woman floats behind her in the same colors, as if she is haunted by this entity. The same portrait from before has been turned into black and white inking only, and used as the card art for Micah, The Haunted (Champion). She has 2 speed, and 2 power and her effect reads: When Micah enters the battlefield you may choose one: Steal a dark star piece from your opponents pool or Return target Champion to your opponents hand.

Remember when I asked if we were cool with magic the gathering self-made proxies?

I REALLY loved the treatment on legendary creatures for MH3, and I want it for basically all my commanders, so I'm just gonna make it happen for myself.
a fake version of the magic the gathering card Captain Howler, Sea Scourge. He is a anthropromorphic shark, covered in tattoos, viewed in portrait. His card text reads: Ward—{2}, Pay 2 life. Whenever you discard one or more cards, target creature gets +2/+0 until end of turn for each card discarded this way. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player this turn, you draw a card. a fake version of the magic the gathering card Captain Howler, Sea Scourge. He is a anthropromorphic shark, covered in tattoos, viewed in portrait.

Against all odds I DID get to stream yesterday, and we made good progress on the Shura board!

Here's the outcome so far, free of all the crashes, OBS issues, and Twitch stuttering.

This, despite everything...is the easy part

These are a few of the cards I've finished more recently, trying to figure out a few problems: 1. Indicating card cost 2. Rules explanations and 3. How many card types do I include?

There's no good answer yet, but I'm happy with where the designs are at!

A handful of the season's #PWHL Posters I made while watching games (and a couple post season ones)

Looking forward to seeing what wild things await in the new, expanded season 👀
A poster for Ottawa Charge's goalie gwenyth philips winning the 2025 ilana kloss playoff MVP. The poster is stylized so that there are few colors, and there is electricity coming off of phillips. A poster for Sarah Nurse of the Toronto Scepters. The photo catches her mid shot, and is back lit by a giant #20, glowing. A poster featuring the Montreal Victoire. At the top there are three boxes labelled 1, 2, 3 one for each goal scored in the PWHL's longest game of all time. The bottom shows the team in victory, and lists the final time (5 hours, 34 miinutes) and the score (Montreal 3, Ottawa 2) A poster featuring Mannon, #18 of the Ottawa Charge. She is stylized to look like a drawing, and is mid victory cheer. There is lightning coming off of her, and behind her almost like a super saiyan. The text at the top reads CHARGED UP

This is the REAL big personal project I'm working on that I'm excited about

A whole ass trading card game using characters, items, and places from my last ten years of home brew D&D5e. Get ready for INCESSANT posting about it.

I went a little overboard when I was doing some #dnd prep the other day. I made my players a whole museum map brochure to use to explore in game.
I think its an excellent use of free time personally, worth the *checks notes* 30 minutes my players spent at the museum.

A mockup of the fake brand for the Museum of Magic and History. The photo shows banners on either side of a street light. The left one is solid blue with the tall MHM logo, which is an M, an H and an M stacked ontop of each other to look like a stained glass window. The Right shows a list of fake exhibitions and dates for the 'Season of Seeds'. They are highlighted in alternating blue and pink. A brand mockup for the Museum of History and Magic. There is the main logo, with a big M made to look like the top of stained glass. Under it is a stacked MHM logo to look like a stained glass window, next to it is a small arch with a 1 in the middle, and next to it is a simple line drawing of a castle, with the tall logo in either tower. There are stacks of color to indicate the brand colors on the side. A dark royal blue, a pink and the same colors in half tone dots. A fake map layout of the first floor of a museum. It is outlined in a dark blue, and the rooms are indicated with halftone colors and small arches with the numbers in it. The legend on the left indicates: Room 1: Sun Glass Hall of Kinds Room 2: Early Vestonian Fashion Room 3: King Horiston I and the Stolen Throne Room 4: Savrosan Mask Making Room 5: Early Learning Doton Farming Room 6: Gilded Deserts: Oatian Mosaics. A mockup of a museum map brochure. It shows four floors of a museum floor, and a cover that reads: Map and Exhibit Guide.

2 Full Games and then some, what a hell of a way to spend mother's day this was.

I hope no one is tired of hockey posters yet, because the season isn't over and I've still got a lot to make.

A poster of the Montreal Victoire's quadruple overtime win from May 11, 2025. The poster feature photos of the three goal scorers, and the whole team celebrating the win at the end.

Hey #portfolioday I'm mack! I'm a designer and illustrator, largely working in the TTRPG space for layout and commission work. I'm looking for work now, hoping to keep it going in the TTRPG and game space.

Check out some of my work below, and hit me up! I love working with new folks.
A layout for the solo TTRPG game Sentinel by Meghan Cross. The layout is split down the middle by a drawing of a tower surrounded by flowers, with clouds trailing out of the top. A photo of a card game named Skeleton Keys. The colors are bright purple, pink and an offwhite. There are three cards, one labelled spellbook, one labelled blackmail, and one labelled gold. An illustration of a titan from Destiny 2. They wear white armor trimmed with gold, and a helmet with large curved horns. They hold a small hammer made of fire in their hands. A compilation of stickers for a podcast called Mike & Mike Go to the Movies. It uses an illustration of two old school looking charcters, one as a box of popcorn and the other as a ticket with 3D glasses.

She can't be stopped and I can't be forced to make a decision, so I made two this time.

#pwhl #montrealvictoire
A poster of Montreal Victoire Captain Marie-philip poulin. There is a small picture of her fist pumping and two larger pictures of her skating behind it. The words captain clutch appear at the top.
