This was as pleasant to draw as the scene depicted. Well, almost. Giant rodents are usually darn pleasant. Inked traditionally by yours truly.

Please pardon my radio silence. Ive been hammering out prints and assembling physical game assets for the past weeks. Today I got to do some actual illustrating for Kingdom Vistas by @plusoneexp.bsky.social and @carrion-comfort.com and it was relaxing and pleasant.

Potentially last update for the Rogue Renderer before its Done™ - added in Acrobats and Assassins, the higher HDs of the 2026 update, a few more funny words, weapons, junk, etc. And at 1.02mb, its carrying a dense amount of strings to its weight - but relearning this stuff is a process.

All right - got the AC situation to work with the DEX modifier and HD with the CON (and I don't have to show either because the official one doesn't either, so neener-neener); but uh. Yeah, nah, we cookin' with gas. Gotta factor in some more classes; but like - we're grooving. Good to mostly go.

Thore Hansen, one of the rare old masters in modern Norwegian illustration died today at 85. Take a minute and check out his Skogland covers and the work he did for Itras By. I requested to learn from him by mail for the past year but he was always too ill. He's most known for his children's books.

This is super evocative and makes the initial (assuming jorune is similar to retroclones in terms of playstyle) chatacter stats matter in a theoretically very satisfying way. Where can I read more about Jorune?

Happy birthday , Tove Jansson! I've been taking loads of inspiration and referencing from her earlier works for a lot of the projects I've illustrated over the last two years, and she may be my favorite Scandinavian old master (competing with Kjell Aukrust and Tore Hansen.)

This piece SLAPS! I was just looking for reference images for a "cloud-face". I might take some notes from this. In Scandinavian 80's, those same pulp horror epics were usually translated and printed in two volume hardcovers, the covers we're never as cool as the American originals.
