An acrylic fantasy painting of a fairy mother and her daughter, poshly dressed, walking down the marble-and-red hallways of an opera

To the Opera with Mother

I had painted, then repainted this piece of a regal #fairy and her cheeky little daughter 🧚strolling through a blood-red environment - presumably, the hallways of the opera. It's now as intended!

Started with a cube, a prototype scene, and way too many debug logs. Now our little hero climbs, sniffs plants, and sprints through forests with proper locomotion.

It's been great seeing a character go from placeholder to personality.

I would not call the Area the MOST important feature of #GeniusLoci but certainly in the top three. #Surreal #mindscape #parallelworld that can go wrong in a million times but if it doesn't, it is SUPER USEFUL.

The Area, and Starmaker The Area ("Die Gegend") is the parallel mindworld of the Genius Loci setting. It is a global mindscape than can be entered at any point and time, and shows a great deal of own will. The Area is most riddlesome, diffuses the borders between minds, and dazzles the travellers' perception, but also holds great wisdom. Many travellers are cosmologists seeking deeper understanding, answers to a mystery, or need help with spirits.

The cover image for the Lucky Lubice bookmark NPC for the Mausritter RPG. The image is parted into white on top and red below like the city of Lübeck's coat of arms. inside is the title text and a pencil drawing in the style of the Mausritter art of a black mouse holding a huge red rose

I have long wanted to do something Mausritter-related and now found the perfect fit with a bookmark NPC based on my home city Lübeck's folklore!

New #GeniusLoci article! The white #forest is a #fantasy staple with its many mushrooms and tree-sized fungi. That also #glowinthedark!

The White forest "Night scares us outside the White. Black shadows and lightless skies are unknown to us. We much prefer the White Night - one can see into one's mind much easier."— Uomiqa, villager The pale fungi plantlife names the White forest. It grows in tropical regions; tree-sized fungi shadow the ground, bundles of mushroom stems take the bushes' place, but there are some regular plants as well.

The cover of the mini fanzine Penguins Of Madagascar. It's an orange paper college with a handdrawn title resembling that of the tv show, with tiny stylised penguin stickers. The subtitle reads "just a bunch of my favourite quotes"

New #zine:

"Skipper, you don't think...?"
"I don't think - I ACT!"

Thanks! Almost 20% came from the Free RPG Bundle you guys made last year alone! WITNESS THE POWER OF THE BUNDLEEEE!!!

#GeniusLoci #lizardfolk are modelled after agamidae more than crocodiles. I like the cute faces it gives them. They are the second colourful #fantasyspecies after #dwarves.
But actualyl the article is about #proverbs! Do you come up with those for your #worldbuilding?

Small #milestones: came online in time to catch 5K downloads on #itch.io. Most were #bundles! Join them if you want people to see your games.

With that, BIG shoutout to Beth and Angel!
