Thank you! I drew these years ago and really enjoyed working on them. I used to draw so many maps, but I kind of got burnt out. However, lately I've been wanting to draw more!

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Preview image titled Master Selu Fyrmyor's Pilfered Charts of the Knowable World, featuring two tarot-sized maps by Arlin Ortiz. On the left, a landscape with story-book style forests and houses leads to a mountain range dominated by a large domed shape with a gem like a cyclops eye. On the right, that shape is revealed to be the head of a gargantuan creature floating in the night sky, with cavities in it's body holding and referencing the elements that poke through to the surface of the landscape on the left. Also includes smaller preview images of 3 other map cards in the folio set.

Happy Birthday, Swords Without Master! Our latest Kickstarter update celebrates that, includes previews of the incredible glyphs @elemei.bsky.social is finishing up, and showcases a titanic creature to explore through two maps from @arlinortiz.bsky.social

Meredith saying something I’ve spent a lot of the last couple years thinking about:

We just backed this cool project! It looks super neat. Zine, Risograph and weird sword lore! Count us in. Highly recommended!

Only a few days left for Rumored Blades 2!

BTW I just found out I have to pay back $2300 of health insurance subsidies which is breaking my bank account, so now's actually a great time to get stuff from my shop or commission me.

ECCC was great! First time tabling at a big convention. We can’t wait to come back! Here is a view from our hotel and @krismukai.bsky.social behind our table!

How to lay out a Zine! Making Zines Part 2 YouTube video by JP Coovert

I hope this video about zine layout is helpful! Not too technical, but enough good advice to get you started making your own zines.

Arlin is running a kickstarter now on crazy blades for your RPGs if you wanted them, a good chance to get some of their art to hold in your hands!

Kris and I will be at ECCC artist alley table G18 this week!!! March 5-8 @krismukai.bsky.social drew this!

I just released a new zine for my game Star Borg on my Patreon. It was so much fun to make and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! www.patreon.com/c/jpcoovert

By the way, if you're in TV or film, have pitched Warner or Paramount or really any studio, & believe that the Warner-Paramount deal will harm your ability to work or diminish your pay, go to this website and share your story. That's the evidence needed for a state AG case:

I'm learning Krita and super impressed with it so far. It seems to have everything i need for a digital drawing app. I'm trying to use more open source software in general so i'm glad this is an option!

thanks!

We were close! but a bot pledged with no reward right when it launched, adjusted it to $200 then canceled right when it was about to reach the goal. They also sent a message that was clearly written by a bot. Oh well! if you want to help stick it to the bots, check out my Kickstarter!
