Oh thank you! It’s part of a pair.
In the highlands and in the glens, where the volcanic streams tick with waters yet prime, and the corncrake cries and the air is a Gaelic hymn, where blood was ploughed from a crop of people now peregrine.

For Trickster’s Net I emulated the work of Carl Otto Czeschka. The first two are mine, all images were envisioned in pairs as the images of Czeschka’s Die Nibelungen were. These first two were envisioned as the primordial origin of the world. #illustration #design #conceptart #trickstersnet #TTRPG

So tricksters net, the project by @playframe.co.uk and Loco Ludus, was an interesting game design exchange project linking German students with Welsh students to help build and define the world of Tricksters Net, a TTRPG. I was only brought on to make some inspirational touchstone art

It was cold on the high heath in this early winter and the boy had known nothing like it. The only sign that it was his first time driving cattle was his shared camaraderie with dogs rather than men. In all other ways he seemed practiced.

She stood washing at the sink, the plates from supper. There came a long wailed note from the forest outside. The howl of wolves in the unhusbanded world. In the forests yet to be felled. She dropped the plate in the water and looked out the window.
