Modern spoiler culture is wild when for so much of human history people mostly already knew the stories they were being told or were being performed

The development of the 'Kilnrunner', a birrin aircraft which crossed the lethal Kiln desert after the Fall.

It was designed to not have to land whatever the cost, as the desert is not survivable. There is a third redundant pusher engine for emergencies and initial takeoff.

Flying machines.
Red or green?

A beam of light emerges from the bottom of a jungle lake that's surrounded by lush, light green plant life. The light starts out pink, than turns into yellow and then blue.

Another beam of light in the same colors and size emerges from the bottom of another jungle lake. This time the vegetation is a darker green and a few more colorful plants are visible, including a tree with pink flowers and an orange tree.

Another similar beam of light shines out of another another jungle lake. This time, the figure of a nude woman is kneeling on the shore, looking at the light.

💯 this. I think Le Guin talks about this exact thing in the introduction of the Left Hand of Darkness (or maybe it’s one of the essays).

Exchange with the electronics store charlatan last year:

”Why does it need wifi? It’s a toothbrush…”

”Ah, it needs it for the AI features to work!”

People got don't-put-it-in-the-newspaper mad that Shadowrun 4E added wireless hacking to everything. "It's so stupid, why would they network everything? Why would they make cyberware with hacking vulnerabilities?" And yet, every single year that's gone by has justified that decision more and more

you use sneasler because it's absurdly strong, i use sneasler because i want to Fuck it, we aren't the same.

I don't know enough to design a card but "Rock throwing Baboon" should definitely be in the Qud set

1 bit pixel art of the skeleton of Megaloceros giganteus, the Irish Elk, with massive branched antlers, looking at the skull of another elk with a branching plant growing from it. Behind is a full moon and starlit night sky.

Pixel art of a Mosasaur skeleton swimming through a shallow sea, its mouth open showing its sharp teeth. It is casting a shadow on the floor of the sea, with the light above playing on the surface of the water.

1 bit pixel art of a large full moon in a starry night sky. It is illuminating the pine forest and rocky outcrops below. On one rock a wolf is stood, completely bathed in moonlight, only its eyes remaining dark.

Pixel art of a scene under the Cambrian sea showing strange alien-like creatures of the Cambrian Period including Vauxia in the foreground, a pinkish-purple Anomalocaris, deep blue Opabinia, violet Nectocaris, bright green Pectocaris, blue-grey Banffia, and Wiwaxia on the rocks in the background.

Pixel art of the pipeyard from Rain World, showing a pale background with dark and light lines, and pale pipes working across it in vertical and horizontal directions. In the foreground are dark red pipes with a lot of dark shade falling over them as well as plants and brick walls around them. There is a little pale yellow slugcat on the left side near a pole.

Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm tine, I do a lot of pixel art, paleo art (ancient life) and 1 bit art! I like sharing fun facts about extinct life and also do a bit of fan art sometimes!

Very excited for this!

Hi #portfolioday!

My name is Luís, I'm a freelance ilustrator from Lisboa, and today for show and tell I bring some of my TTRPG covers.

Commissions closed but looking for more eyes on some current original projects.

An aerial view of Ecruteak Town at night, from Pokemon Gold and Silver, reimagined. The northern sky is full of stars and a waning crescent moon In the far north, the lights of a mysterious city bedazzle the valley. Lugia can be seen flying to the West. The city centre is lively and brightly decorated and illuminated by lanterns and strings of lights. A huge torii gate marks the access of the city to the south, while to the west, connecting to Route 38, is a small gatehouse. To the East the Clock Tower stands tall, with bright lights dotting the forest below and leading to Route 42. To the North-west, the iconic Burned Tower is encased in the dark bamboo glade, where many lights and will-o-the-wisps create a circle of warm, eerire light around the three legendary beasts guarding the monument. Zubat, Golbat and Crobat can be seen flying around. To the east, atop the central shrine zen garden backyard, a shiny Ninetales observes silently the city. Trainer Kris is exploring the verdant Bell Path, just beyond the wooden arched bridge. Below the bridge, a river flows into a waterfall, leading to the great pond at the temple's base. Here many poliwags are playing in the water, while Politoed sings on the top of a rock. At the end of Bell Path stands the Bell Tower, with its many stories; the trusted monk still guarding its access. An eerie light envelopes the South-western shrine, located by an old graveyard immersed in wisteria flowers. This also serves as the city gym, where Morty, the gym leader, can be found by the entrance with his ace, Gengar. The Theatre is opened tonight: a bright warmth light welcomes the visitors by the street: a kimono girl dance is to be expected. A brightly illuminated pokemon center can be found just below, with a traditional wooden sign and a huge pokeball on the roof. The pokemon market, to the east of the Theatre, has a counter opened to the street, where the old lady sells medicines and souvenirs.

A topdown pixel art remake of Ruin Valley, from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Many ancient structures can be seen emerging from the steep cliffsides and lush tropical vegetation: temples, tall palaces and mysterious pathways and towers. A moltitude of pokemon and trainers can be seen around. To the east, the ocean with tall waves and a jagged coastline. Water and fossil pokemon live there. At the center of the valley, the legendary pokemon trainer Red is entering the Dotted Hole ruins. Peculiar rock formation resembling regi pokemon are scattered throughout the environment.

A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A tall, bat-headed vampire is guarding the altar, with bats flying around. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietà statue and a reliquiary. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. A few zombies and skeletons are marching towards the entrance, where a group of adventurers is preparing for battle, being surrounded. To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt. A huge skeletal dragon guards a closed gate. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars. A Lich warlock is channeling dark magic by a sarcophagus. The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace, as a Griffin guards the bell beam. A secret room with four chandeliers features many tombs. There, a lady-like demon with bat wings floats above a marble coffin.

A top down pixel art view showing the current progress in creating a seaside town area. The location features a few houses, some with an accessible roof, a Laboratory with a greenhouse structure attached and a tree house. To the north-east there are rocky cliffs and a cave that leads up into the promontory. In the southeast, just below the rocks, a sandy beach leading to a bay area. A few npcs are starting to populate the location, exploring the surroundings and having a chat. To the south-west, an open-air train station, with two railway platforms and two modern looking canopys. To the east along the railroad, many light poles can be seen. To the south-east a single house with a green car is located in the middle of a plateau overseeing the Bay area. A few antenna towers can be seen around the place, as well as electric poles dotting the hill area to the south.

#PortfolioDay - biiig maps edition

Despite everything, it's still me, Alessandro, an italian pixel artist who left the Fine Arts and Movie Art Department to go crazy about little squares.

I like big top-down maps and limited palettes, but I kind of do a little bit of everything-pixels nowadays!

Kawase Hasui was an absolute master at conveying mood & lighting.

In love with the palette and how you used it here!

1 bit pixel art of a large full moon in a starry night sky. It is illuminating the pine forest and rocky outcrops below. On one rock a wolf is stood, completely bathed in moonlight, only its eyes remaining dark. Thank you all so much for 1000+ followers!!

A little wolf in the woods to say thank you all so much for 1000+ followers! I'll definitely do something soon to say thank you properly! 🐯

lowpoly rat

they were right making a low poly rat is mentally healing

That Venomoth!!

Venomoth, rapidash, raticate and victribell, rendered in a particularly low-resolution pixel art style. Each is rendered with a slightly different style, but all make use of edges squared off with colour - the effect is somewhere in between anti-aliasing and colouring outside of the lines.

very small pocket monsters

warm up for today, ended up making another sphinx pfttt

I cannot grasp what my mind screams me to draw so have pokemon trainers instead
