Last night my wife and I started building out a fantasy world using Worldwizard from Jason Lutes. We are about 60% through the Primordial Age, but it’s shaping up nicely and this game has sparked some really cool ideas already. Excited to keep building!

Very cool system, highly recommend.

Changing of the guard for the GM toolbox. Session zero of Mothership tonight for my in person group!

Fun fact, I play guitar in a little hardcore band called No Advocate that dropped a single today. I also had the pleasure of doing the design and artwork for the EP coming 4.18.

Check it out out if you’re into that sort of thing!

I posted this image in the Forbidden Lands subreddit and this comment made me a little more emotional than it probably should have.

I can make stuff that makes people want to explore worlds they may not have otherwise, and that just does it for me.

What was supposed to be a little pamphlet one shot turned into a 12-page adventure (oops). Writing is done, got the layout roughed in, and knocked out a cover. Time for maps and illustrations.

Tower of the Corpsewright will be the first tabletop project where I did it all!

The fact that photos of the mayor of Knox County, TN powerbombing the secretary of education exist is something I think about at least once a day. Crazy timeline.

I was that kid who waited until 10pm the night before to tell my mom I needed a poster board for my science fair project and now I do it to myself whenever I have a personal project I have to make artwork for. Almost there!

When the wizard tower adventure outline is wizard tower shaped.

Made myself a nice little sticker with my Beholder design I did. Had to have it on the GM journal!

Putting some work in with the dip pen. It’s a challenge but it’s been a fun change up.

Also, gnolls are highly underrated in a world of goblins and kobolds.

See a knight, post a knight.

This is Vargo, a goblin knight of the Order of the Gnashers, and his trusty wolf Bombo. Vargo is my character for a co-op campaign my wife and I are doing in Forbidden Lands. I’ll be doing a blog that documents the campaign with the first post coming soon!

Session one of a co-op Forbidden Lands game this evening, using the expanded solo rules. Durga the Orc fighter and Vargo “Six Legs” the Goblin wolf rider are deep into wilderness now.

The Watchman’s Bounty.

A ranger ends his watch, descending the mountain with his bounty in hand as the carrion birds claim theirs.

8.5x11.5 ink and paint pen on toned paper. Available for license and original is available for purchase. DM to inquire.

My take on one of my favorite dudes. The Beholder!

Here’s a very overplanned digital sketch of my next piece on the drawing table to be inked. A tribute to my favorite fantasy archetype, the Ranger.

Unfortunately the world’s most popular role playing game has always done them dirty. What system(s) do you think nail it when it comes to the Ranger?

Just finished this bad boy. I’ve been pecking away at it between other projects and the evening. 6x11, inka and paint pen on hot press watercolor paper. If you’re interested in licensing or purchasing message me.

New here and giving this a go! If you’re into metal, TTRPGs, fantasy, sci-fi, and pen and ink art give me a follow and I’ll follow back.⚔️
