- 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
- Oh I should take the time I do have to redo my website with new art
- 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…
- One day I’ll make art of my idea for Legend of Zelda as a ballet…
- 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 1/3
- 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 2/3
- Ended up doing a bunch of aerials for this project 3/3

- A game that threatened to bankrupt a state is probably worth at least one play through
- GenAI tools? No thanks, I prefer my slop homemade instead of that overly processed stuff
- Humans making bad art is infinitely more important and helpful in all ways than whatever you managed to squeeze out of an AI
- The headline is clearly written for rage clicks, but after reading the article the points they bring up are also dog shit! Terrible job!
- Same old talking point: just use AI for the boring stuff like compiling data so humans can focus on the important stuff. Except in just the past couple years AI has poisoned so much data that humans have to do as much work (or more) reviewing and correcting everything to be useable again
- fiiiiine 🙄

- Haven’t drawn in ages because of work lol but I started up a QuickStart Daggerheart campaign with a few friends! I’m playing Marlowe Fairwind, and I wanted to draw her
- Nailed the most important detail: thighs 👌
- I may have done a lot of things this year…
- Also! I did the art for a tile placement game called Fountains from @theop.games
- Carlos wrote some cool as hell stuff for Daggerheart Core and this supplement of his is no different in quality. Great stuff in here to add to any home game! Highly recommend getting this!
- If you missed it yesterday: Pistolheart Vol 1 is a western supplement for Daggerheart campaigns (Like Colossus of the Drylands, or your routine' tootin' home brewed settings) and it's live on both itch and Heart of Daggers! ckc09c.itch.io/pistolheart-... heartofdaggers.com/products/pis...
- Also I guess I should mention I've been designing the looks for their live show sets! Fabrication teams varied for each location but they all did a great job making silly concept art look good in real life
- Oh I just realized I never mentioned that I designed the look of Critical Role's Campaign 4 set!

- Fabrication team did a very good job making my crazy pictures into a reality

- Art is going to be very uncool and lame to this kid because parents are not cool!
- I should mention that while I did design what this set looks like, it really only looks as good as it does because of the fabrication and everyone who built it! Full respect and admiration to Noxweiler Berf and the people at CR for doing the hard work on making it a real thing
- Excited to be Art Director on this!
