Cool! Thanks! Looks a bit more field-sketch-y? Maybe 😅

Sketchy ink drawing of a treeline dotted with carved stones. A figure approaches on the right hand side, while a lady behind a tree gestures they should come into the woods. Closer inspection shows she has a freaky mouth under her face.

Scanned version of the same sketchy ink drawing of a treeline dotted with carved stones. A figure approaches on the right hand side, while a lady behind a tree gestures they should come into the woods. Closer inspection shows she has a freaky mouth under her face.

The ward-stones have tumbled, and the dark things in the woods have become ... emboldened...

Pen and ink drawing 🖋️

Still trying to work out the best way to scan and share these things. Photo of the physical drawing, or scanned and slightly cleaned up version? Let me know which is preferred

Thanks! Glad you like it

I'm in the inky city hole again

An ink illustration of a monstrous being looming over and out of a fantasy cityscape, holding a smaller figure on one hand and a wide bladed dagger in the other

Another structural city-deity, because I take psychogeography too literally and fantastically

Ooh very Rosetti-reminescent! Love it

Up to you about sharing but I don't think there's bad art! Just varying degrees of satisfaction.. My stuff isnt a patch on some others' work, but the process is the joy I think/hope 😅

Thanks, really glad I didnt fill the smoke in (it nearly happened)

The first eighteen merfolk illustrations, all in slightly different outfits and with different armaments

Full page spread of thirty six ink line drawings of mermaids, just under an inch high each. The spread is titled "d66 Merfolk of the Shell Court" and has the description: "The Merfolk of the Shell Court dwell in the shallows of the Realm of Thatla, & truck and trade with the surface folk. They are a bright & curious people who travel for joy and adventure, telling tales to one another of what they have found out yonder"

The second eighteen merfolk, similarly armed and armoured. One of them is an octopus-merfolk.

I'm half way through this notebook now, blitzing the tiny figures out

These are merfolk, for a little bit of variety. Drawn as ever with my trusty schon p6 fountain pen, Adenglaw 🖋️

Honestly, have a go with wobbly lines even- the more you do the better they all look from a distance! 😅

Glad to hear it 😁

A4 drawing of a city by a river, with tiny houses and industrial buildings quite crudely scribbled in. Copper fountain pen sits on the page too

Bit different from my usual pages, tried a messy cityscape and enjoyed it a lot.

A palm sized wooden pebble, with a mandala design burned into it via pyrography and 32 dots of copper inlaid as highlights The mandala has four little figues incorporated into it in the cardinal directions, each in a different pose. North holds a sword, East is in a chalice posture, South has a spear or staff, and West is in a power stance

Made a cool thing at Clwb Celf / Art Club last night

Pyrography and copper inlay, very fun to do. Pyrography's so mindful, you really have to take your time and go delicately

Still got a lot to learn but enjoying the learning!

Wait, shit, why are the ruler weilding nuns chasing me then?? 😬

I would like all fantasy games to have a page of common sayings that are said by various cultures, and ideally ones that are AT LEAST ONE step more colloquially odd than "Let me preach their values directly".

It's stuff like this that I'm here for- video games do NPC scripts with lore references, TTRPGs can do this much more fluid and adjustable version.

Could this maybe work in a system for rewarding players coming up with/ expanding on them, too? Like lore xp for spending on changes the player wants?

A double page spread filled with small ink drawings of fantasy characters, all wielding similar sceptres and wearing capes or light armour. The text at the top reads: "The Shade-Lances of Surrus are fearsome technomagical weapons, created by a long-lost art & kept by an order of sorcerors who jealously guard these tools & turn them agsinst the foes of the Sussuran throne. To be bitten by the bolt of a Shade-Lance is a dire thing- their dark magics are potent, but instill in their wielder a dreadful ennui & detachment"

Closer pic of the first page of the spread on the last image, with 18 of the 36 characters, in 3 rows of 6

d66 WIELDERS OF THE SHADE-LANCES OF SURRUS

Spread #2 in my current doodle dudes notebook. Text transcribed in the image alt for some lore, and they're arranged in six rows of six for you to roll d66 and select your character

Drawn in an a6 MD paper notebook with my fountain pen Adenglaw 🖋

An open notebook with 36 small figures drawn over six rows of six. They're all variously dressed and armed in fantasy knights' armour. The text at the top reads: d66 Members of the Order of Chalicer Knights "Rag-tag, underfunded, loyal & liegeless: these knights swear to the very ideal of The Chalice, that symbol which echoes through so many worlds. Some seek, some secure, and yet more spread the word of their order"

First set of characters from the previous image

CHALICER KNIGHTS

First in a full notebook of themed double spreads... There are 36 little characters to every theme, so you can roll two six sided dice (one for row, one for character on the row) to auto select a character.

Drawn as always with my fave fountain pen, Adenglaw 🖋

An open notebook spread of tiny figures, titled "Weilders of the Shade Lances of Surrus" Each little figure has a shadowy crosshatched cloak and usually a magical staff

Thanks!! They're a lot of fun to make! I'm doing a notebook of themed spreads of them now... 36 little dudes to a spread so you could in theory roll two dice to pick one at random for games and stuff 😁 endless entertainment haha

Eight playing card sized illustrations of weird birds, messy and scruffily textured, arranged on my lap.

My little brother tricked me back into playing MtG. My main guy is Kykar, Winds Fury so I gone and done some birdy spirit tokens for him

A zine cover. Title at the top says Realms: A multiversal RPG Zine. Image is of stacks and stacks of books and library shelves with a serpentine dragon body (a bookwyrm, naturally) weaving through them. Bottom text says: #3 The Library Between All Things, written and illustrated by Edward Lang-Whiston

Back at Realms #3, the Library-Between-All-Things. It's haunted me for 3 years now.

Every time I open it I need to start over. Every time I start over I get halfway through. Every time I get halfway through something major happens, causing me to stop. It is my Samsara

(I still like the cover tho)

This one's got a semi flex jowo nib reground to a xxf point by fpnibs, which is puuuuurfect for my drawings. The body is a good weight and shape too, feels right in the hand. My other fave is a much heavier karas with a kanwrite flex nib, so my main advice is flexy nibs I think!

An ink drawing of a squat, goblinish figure whose body is black crosshatch and who is wearing a breastplate and horned helmet. The figure has a sword, sheathed, and a red coloured flame dancing at its brow. Lying across the page is a short pocket fountain pen made of copper and capped

Impish goblin guy

Liking using a slightly smaller a6 sketchbook again, and liking TR paper in it

Pen is Adenglaw, my Schon P6

A guy in vaguely medieval costume standing by a table with a red paper-mache egg and sword on it

When I'm not drawing pictures and daydreaming, I'm a custodian in a medieval castle... and today I got to be The Dragon Knight at the end of an Easter Quest I made, knighting kids and swearing them into service as protectors of magic and enchantment everywhere

It's a really cool job, I'm very happy

A centaur shaped creature, heavily crosshatched in texture and with white masks as both face and shoulderguards, and an almost scorpion-esque tail, drawn in fine black lines on an open a6 sketchbook. A copper fountain pen rests on the top right corner of the page

Love crosshatching, it can be kind of timeconsuming but it really does something for me.

This is one of the Manticore-Knights from a world I'm only in the early stages of fleshing out.

Just went driving in the heavy rain in the dark.

I never thought I'd enjoy driving. I learned begrudgingly. And guys, I love it. It's like a crazy minigame between being in different places.

I wish I'd learned like ten or fifteen years ago.

"Where ink runs thicker than blood"? 😁

I'm in the same boat there! Happy to admire it from afar though.

I have a sheaffer imperial with the inlaid nib, is the conical something different again?

The skinny shape suits me but I can imagine it being not-quite-right...

The monoc nib looks amazing. Unbelievably great design and construction

Absolutely my favourite pen. What a design they are
