Digital color art of a thickset figure who wears adventuring gear. They appear to be made of eerie green fire, and hold one firey hand aloft to inspect a skull hanging in spider webs. Behind them, a purple and cyan spider hangs from its own webline. Digital color art of a thickset figure who wears adventuring gear.

Join me for a stream about adventure design in 20-ish minutes at twitch.tv/turbotango!

I will be taking a rough idea and fleshing it out with chat as I share my thoughts on structure when developing a Daggerheart adventure.

When a poisoned newspaper columnist asks Dr. Miles Singer to find his murderer, following the trail uncovers the kind of secrets a nation can't survive.

but maybe with secrets like that, it shouldn't.

It’s entirely possible I’m mistaken, but I’m under the impression Plastic Man’s costume is actually him with his shape change-y powers applied. In which case, he has no need to be practical with it. So, plastic glam? #plasticman #dccomics #characterdesign
Digital color illustration of DC’s Plastic Man. Here he wears a zoot suit in his traditional red, black, and yellow palette. One hand has turned into a large, cartoon-style mallet, the other arm droops downward in a comically-failed arm flex. Closer crop of my Plastic Man design

The thing about LLM output that may annoy *me* most is how folks insist the presence of a single punctuation type or rhetorical construction is incontrovertible proof of LLM generation. “‘It isn’t just X, it’s Y’ proves an LLM wrote this” appears to be the new em dash and I hate it.

Mr. Freeze: had an idea for super-cold coils, then a puffer vest as a good way to make them wearable. The puffer wear lead me down a kind of winter sports aesthetic.

Also: egregious glow light effects for sinister underlighting. #dccomics #mrfreeze #characterdesign #digitalart
Digital color illustration of a Mr Freeze design: a burly, bald, bearded person stands on jagged ice. Their skin is a pale blue. They wear a puffer vest, leather pants, and boots reminiscent of ski boots. Glowing blue coils snake down their arms and connect to their gloves. Blue glows emanate from the individual strips of puffer coat and straps on boots. Their eyes glow red behind goggles. A touch of snow blows around them.

Whatever you think about the movie, I think that jellyfish gown was amazing, so of course I gave Mera some jellyfish accessories. Still figuring out how to / how I want to render water, but I think it’s a fun first attempt. #dccomics #mera #characterdesign
Digital color illustration of Mera: a white woman with long red hair. She wears a green bodysuit with shimmering iridescent scales. Water spirals upward around her in defiance of physics, ending with a water-trident shape near her upraised right hand. Closer crop of the original Mera illo from first attachment.

I’m giving away a free paperback and e-copy of my novel, Cobbler’s Hill! For details and the entry form, click here: lauraeprice.com/2025/10/05/c...

#booksky
The cover of the book Cobbler’s Hill is centered. At the top is printed “Hey, Kid, you want a free book?” Around the book are a variety of informal review quotes about how awesome this book is: “Laura is a fantastic writer and you should read her book it slaps,” “Read Laura’s book, I promise it’s better than Brandon Sanderson,” and “Read this book it fucks,” as well as tropes it contains like ace and aro and gay characters, so many women Alison Bechdel would be proud, a witch, a haunted house, monsters, automata, pirates, gangsters, a hooker with a heart of gold! This picture describes Cobbler’s Hill as a gas lamp, weird west, alternate history, urban supernatural fantasy set in 19th century California starring a pair of somewhat violent sisters with supernatural knacks (the sarcasm is entirely natural, though). They’re trying to find their place while staying together, surrounded by monsters both human and not. After that is contest info, with a link I fucked up (use the one in the skeet) and noting that two winners, one per format, will be chosen at random on Oct. 25. Thanks and good luck!

I think a lot of white / cis folks are experiencing the pain point where you fully recognize forms of bigotry which have always been there, but have not fully recognized that the first time *you* notice a thing is not the same as the how long a thing has been blatant to others.

Hawkman: rocking tight pants, tall boots, bird cowl, and a four point chest harness as Conservative foil to a tech billionaire who thinks the important part of Robin Hood is arrow tricks rather than the evils of hoarded wealth. 😅

Comics are wild and I love it. #dccomics #hawkman #characterdesign
Digital color art of my DC Hawkman design. He’s a white, winged man with light brown hair and beard. He wears tall black boots; dark green pants; and a black, four-point chest harness with his hawk’s head medallion in silver at the center. He sit and smirks casually, a silver hawk helmet on one knee and a silver mace held dangling in his opposite hand. The background is a field of hawk silhouettes in shades of red.

Cobbler’s Hill Giveaway!
I am giving away one paperback and one e-copy of Cobbler's Hill! ENTER HERE! Yeah, okay, what's it about? All that stuff up in the graphic, but also this: Corwyn Teachout has a knack for finding people. Her sister, Gwen, has a knack for hurting them. That should be enough to keep them alive after their mother dies and the orphanage burns down, at least until they’re both old enough to join a gang and start down the long road to ruling the criminal underworld.

I keep seeing people upset that Yasha doesn’t appear to be in so much of the promo stuff for Mighty Nein, but given most promo stuff seems like it’s from pre-game to The Circus Incident, it makes a lot of narrative sense to leave Yasha out of that first little arc. (Spoilers for campaign 2?) 1/
