Introducing my new Daggerheart character Claude!
He is a witch dabbling in both medical research and necromancy and he accidentally created a conscious skull/spirit named Crane who now will not leave his side and keep yapping his ear off.

A motivational poster with a woman spreading her arms wide while standing in a cornfield. The motivational text says "When I don't post about current affairs it's only because I don't have anything legal to say."
X salvage continued, had to save this banger from @molleindustria.org
There's stuff that was released on the daggerheart website like the art in the sablewood location doc, most of the art in the Void section. Any free to download adventure on the site or the adventures played at con tables had art that I made
There’s also other stuff I’m a part of like:
-Daggerheart adversary deck announcement
-Free RPG Day adventure
-Additional downloadable Daggerheart content
-Some art for the Void
-Various personal projects
I’m very busy
2025 recap:

🌚Daggerheart: Hope & Fear announced! First time being an Art Director
🎲Critical Role campaign 4! Set concept design

I got so many files to organize. I also have so many more personal projects I just haven’t been able to work on yet…
Oh I should take the time I do have to redo my website with new art
Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.
One day I’ll make art of my idea for Legend of Zelda as a ballet…
Ended up doing a bunch of aerials for this project

Part of the book followed a character entering and learning about the lands of Xadia for the first time. Also an adventure that takes place soon after the events of season 3

A white dragon swoops out from clouds as we look down from up high in the sky over the colorful landscape of Xadia from the show The Dragon Prince
Going through old files and art I did for the Tales of Xadia ttrpg back in 2021. Here's some pieces that I still kinda like

the big difference between procgen and "ai" is that procgen is straightforwardly a creative/authoring process like any other, whereas "ai" by its nature precludes both things. but even with procgen you can approach it from a cynical direction and fuck yourself

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out
pick up a pencil and a napkin
Splash promo illustration for upcoming "With love and magic" from daggerheart. Illustration includes a lady knight in gold armor with big fairy wings being embraced by a blue infernis and katari in a white dress. The pose is inspired by the Twelfth Night (2009) photoshoot with Audra Mcdonald, Raul Esparza & Anne Hathaway.
I got to paint all my favourite things for “With Love and Magic”, Daggerheart’s upcoming romantasy campaign frame (inspired by Tusk Love) which was presented earlier this year at Gen Con.

Important when making art: 1. Composition and balance. The sum matters more than the individual parts. 2. Silhouettes. You must be able to read the image from a distance. 3. Color palette. Few key colors. Forget: 1. Correct anatomy 2. Perfect line work 3. Realism or some shit
I said this about making art before and I stand by it.
