It's #PortfolioDay!

I'm Basil, an Afronative game designer, sensitivity consultant/coordinator, and translator.

I've worked with MCDM, Hit Point Press, SoulMuppet Publishing, Brotherwise Games, and hopefully more to come!

Two page spread of "Come Out From Your Grave". The art on the left is a spirit standing over a woman praying in front of a cross tombstone with candles on its base. The ghost is pointing as if giving directions. The Cosmere Roleplaying Game logo atop a starry background, next to mockups of the Stormlight and Mistborn world guides. A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press" Image 3: "The MCDM RPG" laid over a battle scene with heroes fighting against monsters using various weapons and abilities. (alt text originally from jnb.art, the cover artist) "The MCDM RPG" laid over a battle scene with heroes fighting against monsters using various weapons and abilities.

A picture of Lexi doing a salute to the camera wearing green dual shade eyeshadow with silver hair and a blue jacket over a black shirt. The title of the picture reads, "Lexi's #TTRPGWrapped for 2025". There are four categories also on the photo that read, "Games I Loved", "Games I Wanted To Play", "Actual Plays I Loved", and "Games That Left Lasting Impressions", with an hand drawn arrow pointing downward, inviting the viewer to keep scrolling.

Man come on

This is pretty dire. And if you work in or play games, you should be concerned even if you have no interest in playing this one, or games like it. This is smoke on the horizon heading your way. You need to care.

The problem with the accommodations police is that accommodations are based on diagnoses. A person is disabled whether or not they have a diagnosis. Not everyone can afford diagnoses or assessments. Not having a Dx does not mean “not disabled.” This should be self-evident, and yet…

I also wanna make my fave brown bear as a shirt!!
illustrative mock up of a dark brown t-shirt with the design of a cute brown bear eating a fish, with the bear's stomach showing other things it has eaten: a rabbit, nuts, fruits, vegetation, and bugs. the bear is surrounded by flowers, mushrooms, vegetation, berries, an apple, and two more bunnies. the color palette is brown, green, and red. the shirt has a folk-art feel to it.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

was really inspired by the alpaca festival i went to a couple of weeks ago! i want to make this a screen printed shirt (minus the text at the bottom) early next year :)
illustration of folk art animals and flowers in 4 colors (green, white, yellow, and red) with a solid black background- there are alpacas, goats, geese, sheep, rabbits, chickens, and some hidden bugs surrounded by flowers, wheat, and fruit. the illustration combines traditional folk art florals and patterns with cute animals. the design is mirrored so the left reflects the right side.

STRAIGHT CHEESIN BC I AM HOLDING MY COVER ART ON A BOOK AAAAAAAAAAA

I am SO proud of this team and this book !!! I attached my artist statement for this cover; so much heart went into this and I hope y’all like it as much as I do!!

@huntersent.bsky.social
Jae holding Kids in Capes with their art on it It was very important to me to portray a fat queer kid on the cover because I don't see very many RPGs with that kind of representation anywhere-and for a game grounded in reality, centered around characters who are (typically) aged 10/12-16/18; kids who look like the one on the cover are typically outcasts (and/or are bullied by their peers). My hope is that ALL kinds of kids and teenagers (and adults of course) see a cover like this and feel affirmed that ANYONE can be a hero, no matter what you look like. The narrative of Kids in Capes of 'finding your own identity while growing up and dealing with all the usual trials and tribulations of being a teenager (further pushed by adding superpow-ers) stands out to me as a queer trans person of color. After all, what are superpowers-Some-thing that a lot of kid-heroes may need to hide from others, feeling alone and disconnected from peers due to something unchangeable about themselves (a feeling I really wanted to evoke with this kid sitting alone on a roof, looking up at a brilliant sky of possibility, of the future, of hope), grappling with a bunch of adults who could never understand, or even fear, their new abilities-What are superpowers but an allegory for Queerness in a world where being straight lie power-less) is the norm? This cover art means a lot to me and I hope you like it as much as I do.

absence of a diagnosis does not guarantee the absence of an illness - mamoru - if someone you know has oeen been suffering yet a doctor says nothing is wrong, which has happened to a majority of chronically ill people at some point, you have a choice. you can either believe doctor that you probably never met, or the person suffering. and I cannot emphasize enough how absolutely damaging it is for a sick person to not be believed. the believe
