"The Patron" or "May I introduce..." & , -
I love drawing , particularly ones from , & perhaps toying with expectations as to how they might appear. I wanted to give the feel of a learned, almost emperor figure, that the viewer has been taken through to meet in some sort of formal audience, perhaps led there by the attendant in order to ask a question.

"Mercury Magnet" - this was an idea for a type for a idea (still in the works). The whole thing is to have a slightly different vibe to my usual stuff. More Dickensian Gothic.

As an alternative to starting with pencil or pen & ink I sometimes start straight in with paint, looking for happy accidents in form to pull out by refining definition or adding recognisable detail, creating sketchy . Some of these make it to fully realised images, some don't. I occasionally begin in ludicrous hues as I'm not confident with colour, & so it pushes me to be more experimental, even if I do tone it down a little by the end.

More & pseudo- -ery, & ...
I'll throw some colour into the mix again after today.. to be fair I should probably get around to working some of these up. Even if only into something more greyscale but painterly.
Anyway,

A look at just a single /critter today, one I called a Cironuppe (si-ron-oo-pay), Scowl Bear or Spinemarten, a large porcupine/bear-like creature that can (unlike an actual porcupine) fire its spines at creatures it sees as a threat.
Designed for low to medium level exploration in the wilderness they would defend their territory, water source, nest or possibly follow a trapper's waggon (& their cubs) that the PCs might discover abandoned.

Okay... So moving away from hard surfaces today, how about some - here are some curious fur & feather clad critters that I'll be throwing at my players (not all for combat, obvs) in my homebrew games. The Bardic Theda, The Matanuda, a Werewandle, and a Snow Dragopard.

Something a little different today...
This is a , typical scale (i.e.1" = 5') I'm working on. In downtime between actual work, I thought it might be fun to build some " " for some ship-to-ship combat I was planning to run. In the end I've not had time to complete them (but still hope to), but I did use the skiff/elven as a plot device in my "Cold Comfort" game last year, even if they only saw an image of it.

More work towards ongoing projects. Here a group of seem to to have been gifted the documents that prove the own a , only they might have got a little more than they bargained for.

I don't paint enough flying ships...

(This is the image in my intro toot, & so was a chance to address the lack of alt text for that image too.)

"The Bridge to Jhator" - The cover image to my intro adventure that I ran for my players last year... Set high in snow covered mountains, in a settlement at the feet of an ancient temple, all thought long abandoned.
The adventure which wound up after around 13 sessions was called "Cold Comfort".

A stab at , in his “fair” form. I took “fair“ to mean “easy on the eye” rather than blonde, & also 's early / version, who wore a collar of gold that allowed him to control others (an early version of the ring?) & though I thought about a collar here like Klimt”s jewelled collar (in his Adele Bloch-Bauer portrait & Judith with the head of Holofernes) I eventually opted for this more “Egyptian” bib look.

"Let's just try one last door..."

I always think of this image as the twin sibling of the "The Wyrd Deck..." art I posted previously. They share a similar palette, but mostly I think it's because it feels like the two lead characters feel like they know each other, or are related somehow.

for a pseudo-medieval ( style) wagon train, inc' a specialised “grand” private chambers wagon, a mobile strong-room &/or guard wagon, a mobile “court” or audience chamber, & a multi-purpose .

Some of these designs incorporate a set of tri-form wheels/axles, for movement over rough terrain, with a series of “chucks/chocks” that can be added to create a regular wheel.
