One of the hardest + most important things to learn as a creative. Stop waiting to make your “opus” — keep going, get better

Ty, Cha! Back in my moody, angsty drawing era ✨

Keep on keeping on.

More brutalist concrete and desolate landscape studies. Been pushing myself to refine my own sketch to final processes, and fallen back in love with some of my core texture brushes.

First post here! 🌿✨

Me, trying to look up lighting references, only to be flooded with AI images *where the lighting is all wrong*

HELL YEAH PUNTO the lighting on this is stunning!

A sketch of a male figure sitting on an Egyptian throne holding a staff. A falcon perches on the top of the throne, and the figure is dressed in mechanical armor. A gold halo surrounds his head, and many of the sketched lines are in different colors.

May I interest you in a WIP of Higgs in these trying times?

An art nouveau-style illustration of Tyranny from Critical Role. Tyranny is a pink-skinned tiefling with yellow goat-like eyes, upright horns, claws, and a devilish tail. She wears teal-blue robes with ruffles and celestial embroidery, as well as a matching headdress. She has straight white hair that flows past her shoulders and short bangs. In the frame behind her are motifs of the lunar cycle, a sun, and flaming hearts wrapped in thorny vines with arrows through them.

what do you know, I’m just a bad believer 💘

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds. The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Oh that shimmery iridescence is gorgeous!!

Top tier design 🙌

I have not, but I’m glad the internet finds my Easter eggs! ✨💜

Ahhh thank you as ever! Honestly I can’t wait for the same. New worlds and places fill me with joy, and I know I’ll want to make so, so much more art as we learn more about them.

You are too kind! As ever, a dream to collaborate to make such incredible world building into initial concept art 💜

I could not be more excited to see where this takes us. And the world building? I’m gonna need to block out some time every week just to draw love letters to expand these locations, they own my whole heart 💜✨

BOLO ONE SHOT??

We're here and we're queer all year long, but this month we're extra fabulous about it. 🌈✨

The Desk of Many Thoughts Villains, Accomplices, and Bystanders: Portraying antagonists and power systems an interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan. The article begins: Hannah Rose for Wildmage Press: Brennan, you're the Dungeon Master for Dimension 20, Worlds Beyond Number, and multiple Exandria Unlimited miniseries. One thing we see a lot in these stories is that they're about fighting evil and defeating bad guys but also about confronting systems of power and exploitation. So—at the risk of getting a little too real right out of the gate—can you tell us a little about why you're drawn to these stories and where some of that inspiration comes from? Brennan Lee Mulligan: Hell yeah. I've been telling stories since I was a little, little kid—it’s a primary impulse. When I was a very little kid, I wrote the words “be good” on the wall next to my bed. And so that kind of ethic—knights and heroes and good guys—that's always been there. And then when I was fourteen, I started going to school at SUNY Ulster and I studied with this philosophy professor named Tom Davis and learned about this whole world of formal philosophy and the study of ethics. And every work of art that I've been a part of has tended to, in one form or another, be a meditation on some kind of ethical conundrum—which isn't to say that I'm interested in just creating allegory or propaganda. When I say it's an ethical thing, it's something I’m [personally] wrestling with.

Horizons 3 features an interview with legendary DM, improviser, & philosophy major Brennan Lee Mulligan! We sat down with Brennan to talk about creating memorable antagonists, villains, and systems of power.

Subscribers can read the interview on our website or on Patreon.

We appreciate you but not that much.

A muscular woman holding a rapier poses upon a pile of skulls and bones. In the distance, retro spaceships rocket into a sky with two visible planets and dense red clouds. The art is a book cover in a vintage pulp style, at the top is the subtitle “One flesh, one end- how far would they go?” With the main title “Frontline Titties of the Fifth” below it.

Did I ever share this here? Painted this a few years ago after reading all The Locked Tomb books in under two weeks because truly, they are that good.

Pulpy covers my beloved 💜✨💀
