"A mountain walked or stumbled."

Wanted to finally do an interpretation of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu!
a mountainous thing, with long wing-like sheets of flesh drifting up and out of frame. its bulk is rotten, wrinkled, decomposing. its head appears to be a ball of feelers, but its so large its mostly off page. amongst strange pillars, a man is silhouetted in the foreground. he is very small.

Little Mistria things I like
#drawtober #fieldsofMistria
Its ink and color marker drawings of multiple sprite redraws from Fields of Mistria. Its the water sprite statue, a moon fruit, a marigold flower, a monster shell, a daikon radish, a grilled cheese with the gooey cheese, a capybara with a tangerine on its head, a jade dulse, an orange, a basket of yarn balls and lastly a jar of blackberry jam! Not very detailed I tried to replicate their simple game sprite looks.

STORMBRINGER (1977)
Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20"

I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5
Standing atop ruins at the end of the world, an anguished Elric thrusts the runeblade Stormbringer to the heavens. The sky behind him roils with clouds rendered in acidic green. The chainmail on his right arm is torn. He wears a yellow tunic and belts strapped across his waist and chest crusted with jewels. His purple and black cloak billows in the wind. From a leather cord, he holds an ivory horn with ornate swirls of gold. The ruins he stands upon are crumbling, including the face of a skull that is missing a chunk of forehead and part of the orbital. The mouth isn't human given the fangs in its mouth and the horns protruding off the side of the head that is intact. Off to the side, a pterosaur-like creature perches with wings spread.

since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead

You probably know how languages in D&D work: pretty much everyone speaks “Common” but there are also a smattering of languages different ethnic groups speak like Elvish and Dwarven. For this to make sense, it tells us something about the implied setting of D&D
#ttrpg #osr #dnd
The Languages of D&D Imply a Specific Setting — Prismatic Wasteland
If you start from the premise that languages in D&D make sense you can extrapolate a bit about its implied setting.

This is one the last projects I worked on at DnD and it's just oozing with fun Eddie-isms and 80's nostalgia. Couldn't be prouder of this product and all the brilliant minds behind it.
