printing/painting a creature for a TTRPG session. This griffin was used in Chapter 2 of the upcoming series (Chapter 1 will be available SOMETIME this summer). Just finished running the battle today!

Worked hard today just to get to the part of the book layout where I could add art for my favorite boi.

An image a fairy-like creature with a praying mantis-esque head, magenta-gradient insect wings, and dark green skin. It has human-like hair and is holding a human's finger, which it appears to be eating. Text from the tabletop book from which it originates reads: Dracipava Bloodline While unassuming in their size and appearance at first glance, dracipava are astonishingly dangerous. At a moment’s notice, they can swell their heads to incredible size, open their mouths like a blooming flower to reveal their multiple rows of sharp teeth, and devour the head of a stunned victim. Dracipava society in the Weird Domain is quite bizarre, with adult women devouring the heads of the males immediately after mating, a ritual that has always been part of their reproductive process. These fairies are more insect-like than other fairies, with faces like a praying mantis, buzzing dragonfly wings, and clawed hands and feet. Perk: Skull Devour. As a Primary Action, you devour the skull of a Dying creature within 1 Pace of you, killing it instantly if it cannot survive without a head. Gain Excess Hit Points equal to twice the creature’s Size. Perk: Dragonfly Wings. You have small dragonfly wings. Increase your Flying Pace by 3.

Loved Nosferatu. Incredible retelling, great gothic horror, mesmerizingly unsettling.
I then came back home to be reminded that media literacy is as dead as half the town of Wisborg.
What scenes did you miss? What classes did you skip in high school?

The fun part of TTRPG design is making it look pretty.
Pushed through today to get to the Bloodlines portion of the layout so that I could finally start adding in Hugo's art.

Page 43 of the Scathe TTRPG Rule Book. Lists the Daemonborn Ancestry, beginning with the Angelic bloodline, an angel-hybrid being. Text reads: Core Ancestries Daemonborn The distant descendants of beings from the Cosmic, Gloria, or Hel Domain, a daemonborn is a hominid far removed from their divine ancestors. Despite the distance between their blood and the blood of true deities beings, a daemonborn does still sport evidence of their lineage, be that unique skin colors, horns, or even wings. The blood of the holy and vile manifest in these deific descendants in different ways, rendering no two daemonborn alike. Daemonborn Basics Age Limits. • Young: 0-20 years • Adult: 20-160 years • Elder: 160+ years • Life Expectancy: roughly 200 years Ancestral Pace. 4 Core Stats. 19, 6, 5 Perk: Daemon’s Blood. Gain Protection from 1 Esoteric Damage of your choice. Size. 2 (typically between 1.5 and 1.75 meters tall) Type. Daemon, Hominid Daemonborn Bloodlines Bloodline: Angelic Rarely seen but easily-identified by their unparalleled beauty, angelic daemonborn trace their lineage back to beings from Gloria—typically angels. The holy wings sprouting from the backs of many of these beings can be used to soar tremendous distances. Perk: Natural Flight. When you fall or are otherwise not touching the ground, you may use a Reactive Action to extend your wings. This grants you a Flying Pace equal to your Walking Pace until the end of your next turn, which you can extend with an additional Reactive Action when that turn ends. At 20th level, the Natural Flight Reactive Action no longer consumes SP. The 44th page of the Scathe Core Rulebook. Lists three Daemonborn bloodlines, the Eldritch, the Hel, and the Leviathan. Eldritch is a horrifying, purple-skinned, six-eyed woman with oily hair. Hel is a large, muscular floating demon. Leviathan is a toned woman with gils and fins. Text reads: Bloodline: Eldritch With an ancestral history that is a mystery even to them, an eldritch daemonborn is one descended from the Unknowables themselves—the horrific entities that inflict madness on any who would dare seek to comprehend their majesty. So suffused with madness and eldritch power are they that these entities remain calm in circumstances that would leave most in a state of absolute fear. Perk: Suryphian. You are Immune to being Terrified. Bloodline: Hel Born of the torturous, infernal depths of Hel, daemonborn of this bloodline are usually differentiated from others by their large horns or barbed tails. Some have scaly formations on their skin, usually on joints like the wrists, ankles, and elbows. While colors vary, most hel daemonborn are black, purple, red, or white in color. Perk: Veins Aflame. You are Immune to Fire Damage. Bloodline: Leviathan The dreadful abyss is home to all manner of terrifying creature, and from the dark trenches the leviathan daemonborn have ascended. With blue or purple skin, gills on their necks, and webbed hands and feet, the leviathan daemonborn are the most unusual in appearance of all their kin. Perk: Shallowborn. You can breathe underwater and have a Swimming Pace equal to your Walking Pace.

Can't cut down the essay on Terry Pratchett's "Guards! Guards!" novel anymore for the Discworld Read-Along, so... I'm just gonna have to figure out how to film and edit a video based on a 16-Page essay.

all the commissioned bloodline artwork for the Scathe TTRPG is finished, and I'm getting ready to bring things in for the layout phase soon...ish.
Colored bloodlines are below—all the others have black-and-white art.

These pieces are by Hugo Henrique: www.artstation.com/hugohenri
From left to right: a muscular green humanoid robot, a small fuzzy gremlin, a grey-skinned studious orc in a suit, a creepy eldritch woman with purple skin and six red eyes, a sun elf with golden skin and red hair, a terrifying fairy with a mouth opened like a flower who is eating a severed finger, a small dwarf covered in grime and twigs, a gnome with transparent skin revealing muscle and bone, a massive blue-skinned undersea woman with glowing red eyes, a humanoid toucan with a quiver over his shoulder, a strange human with fangs and excessive fur.

Tonight's arts n crafts segment brought to you by a sudden desire to wax seal some envelopes. I have no idea why we stopped wax sealing things.

This is for the final season of the first chapter for my current TTRPG campaign.
