This unit finally finished all the page art for its current game project, "My Hands In The Fates Of Gods"! The game is inspired by several animated films, including a handful of Ghibli works, and this unit tried to capture the vibe of the art in them! #DericArt #DericGames

Multiple sets of images in a collage. They depict sections of the game, with 3 panels per section. Going left to right, top to bottom, they are: The Worlds That Were, The Weapon (which is firing), The Fool (giving a speech), The Worlds That Are, The Great And Terrible Nature, Your Companion And You, and The Miracles.

Got a game coming out tomorrow, part of the cassette case game jam, so excited for it to have finally come together! #ttrpg

A cassette case with a j card with rules, laying atop a spread of custom cards. The game is titled "Crypt Of The God-Gilded Chalice".

Slowly working on the cover for my next game, tentatively titled "My Hands In The Fates Of Gods", where you play as a plucky young girl at the end of her adventure, trying to stop the world from being utterly destroyed. Its inspired heavily by the ending of various Ghibli films. #wip #DericArt

Work in progress game cover. Title at the top. Below are five figures. From left to right: a worm-like doomsday weapon, a woman in a cartoonish set of armor with a staff, a robot and a man both running, and the young woman. The fill for each is a solid colour and is offset from the outlines. Below is the subtitle "A Game Of Endings By Deric Bindel".

Finally got the go-ahead to share this! In December 2024, I was commissioned to do some #blaseball art for part of The Garages' final farewell gift! Here is Mike Townsend, giving Management, The Coin, a big final fuck-you farewell, TRIPLE ENCORE style! #DericArt #Mecha

An action shot of an eight legged mech, standing on its hind feet, firing a supersized projectile at a silhouette of an ancient Roman figure. There is a large reticle over the figure, extending out with larger concentric circles. The projectile has a jagged cloud behind it. At the bottom is the text "Management vs Mike Townsend, ft Octo-Thumb".

Hey there, I'm a vector artist who speciallizes in clean covers and snappy merch designs! I've done work for the blaseballcares charity and material for ttrpgs! #portfolioday

An abstract torch-like design. It is emiting both lines of light and bubbles of motion. Down the shaft reads the word "CENTER" written in gridCIPH.

A set of four mezo-american style animal drawings with text at the bottom. Going clockwise from top left, they are a wolf, a mechanical worm, a rat, and a larva. The text reads "RIGHT" written in gridCIPH. The outlines of all elements are offset from the fill.

The text "A Good Plan Never Falls", and the subtitle "A Tower-Building Heist Game". There is an abstracted yellow jenga tower behind the text, with callouts pointing to various parts of the tower.

The title "The Creature and Their Hunter" and the subtitle "A Tactical Game of Predator and Prey" are roughly centered. Above it are simple abstract drawings of a 4 -legged alien creature and a cybernetic hunter with a gun. Below the title is a grid representing the playing field, covered with bombs, marks, and various rectangles.

First art of 2025! This is my boyfriend @bobbythewallflower.bsky.social robot OC named SKID, a courier robot in a shared setting of ours! He's fast, he's stylish, and he's maybe here for a little bit more ;) #DericArt #OC #Robot

A bipedal robot in a vaguely humanoid shape. He has a sleek head that has a fin spike on top, with the front dominated by a single "eye". The arms are segmented, with powerlines running in the joints, and both end with triangular three-pronged hands. The chest tapers inwards to a large ball and socket joint making up the waist, connecting the chest and hips. The legs are roughly digitigrade and resemble blade-style running prosthetics, with large thighs connecting to thinner calves, which then exted down into narrow prongs. The feet had small hooks extending up. He is wearing a large red scarf billowing in the wind, contrasting his overall blue colour scheme.

Been sketching some fucked up people for my next game project, currently titled "We Live Such Pleasant Lives", about eeking out small, pathetic, and petty lives in a post-cyberpunk world! (Post in that the punk is completely gone) #DericArt CW body horror!

A collection of 6 sketches of people called "Fleshworker", numbered 1 through 6. Number 1 lacks ears and a nose, and has tiny specks of eyes. They have a drawn-down chin, with electronics stuffed in the extra mouth space, and are wearing a button down with a tie. Number 2 has big blank eyes, a bolted on mask covering the mouth and nose, and a device fully covering the ears. There are tubes connecting to the back of their neck, and they are wearing a button down and tie. Number 3 has mechanical extensions from their eye sockets, lifting the eyeballs out. They are lacking ears and a lower jaw, with tubes constructing their neck. They have a open chest wound exposed by their dress that has multiple tubes leading in and out. Number 4 has a plate covering half their face, and a tube feeding into the side of their mouth. There are tubes emerging in and out of their neck, and they are wearing a sweater vest, shirt, and tie. Number 5 has a mechanical robot head stuck on the neck, the lower jaw bolted on. The upper skull is visible, dangling from behind. They are wearing a collared shirt. Number 6 has a plate suggesting cameras covering their eyes, a missing nose, and intact ears. There are plates and holes on the top of their skull. They are missing the lower jaw and are wearing a blouse.

Decided it was a HORN DAY and put on some horns this morning! Got a nice selfie out of it. Someday, I'll get actual horn implant/piercings, but for now, I make do with paper and glue.

A selfie of a white person with the face obscured by a robot face emoji. Zey have 4 bent horns pasted to zeyr forehead/temples, in two sets of two. The horns reach about 7 centimeters high and are metallic gunmetal grey. Zey are wearing a necklace close to zeyr neck that is composed of multiple 2 centimeter round clay beads. The beads are mostly white with splotches of red paint. Zey are wearing a black shirt with a read and yellow cyberpunk furry design.

A 3D model of a box-shaped robot. It is light and dark blue, with a contrasting yellow rectangular "eye". It has a backpack with an antenna. The head has a mohawk and quarter circle "ears" that share shapes.

The text "weakless universe" with the tagline "a web of lore". A square is surrounded by three small pins, all pointing towards the square. These pins are further connected by three more pins, forming an overall triangle shape, resembling an abstracted conspiracy map.

The title "No More Than Code", with the subtitle "A Journaling game about Rampancy". The title is in a red field of marks and numbers and columns, made to resemble a punched card.

Just finalized the cover for my current game project, The Creature And Their Hunter! Gonna be going into a second round of playtesting soon, hope to have it released before the end of November! Its a 2-player asymmetric tactics game, a little like a hybrid of minesweeper and battleship! #DericArt

The cover is divided into two sections, an upper and lower section. The lower section is a grid with multiple objects placed on it. There are square and rectangular areas covering small sections of the grid, and multiple bomb and crosshair icons scattered. The upper section features a large stylized infographic depiction of a futuristic hunter with a gun facing towards a large creature arcing its back and displaying its spines. Between the two sections is the title text "The Creature And Their Hunter" and a subtitle "A Tactical Game Of Predator And Prey".

There's a 200 word ttrpg challenge going on this month on tumblr, and I just finished my submission, DRONE ! Its a lil self-indulgent, but who cares! #ttrpg #DericGames link to the submission: www.tumblr.com/dericbindel/...

DRONE

For 1-3 players.

/////

You are members of a technological Hivemind, faithful drones who have been augmented and upgraded beyond your weak flesh. ‘You’ is a meaningless concept, except as a delineation of one limb of the whole.

You have been assigned a task. Roll a d6 to determine what.
An important component sustaining the Link needs repair.
Incorporate into the Link one of Those-Unlinked.
The needs of the Hivemind require you to change your equipment.
Prevent sabotage by Those-Unlinked.
A new drone needs assistance acclimating to the Hivemind.
Commune with the others in the Hivemind.

Next, roll a d6 to determine how you succeed or fail.

Succeed:
More than one drone was needed. Together the Hivemind is stronger.
Your methodology is novel. The Hivemind will remember it.
The approach is taken from the experience of the Hivemind. The Link is good.

Fail:
You were not equipped to handle it. You will be modified by another to correct this.
Something beyond your control occurred. The Hivemind will adapt.
Those-Unlinked obstructed your actions. They will surely join one day.

Elaborate upon these and write or discuss them.

/////

You will never leave this joyous unity.

You are a good drone.

Repeat forever.

I have SO many, but I'll just keep it to 3: - FAGGOT : a waterfront lifeguard EMT - PLINK : an biped/quadraped hybrid stealth recon unit - Gia Holbrook : a blaseball batter and delightful nuisance

A bust of an humanoid robot. It has a set of chiseled on abs, and a lined socket around the neck. The head is a vertical rectangular prism, with a tall slit in the center, in the place of a face or eyes. Either side of the head has round nodules. One side has an antenna sticking above the head.

A bust of a modified protogen or synth robot. The head is abstract, featuring an extended featureless snout, with a riased around around the segment above the neck. Two antennae stick out on either sides like ears. The rear of the head has cables sticking into the upper back.

A bust divided into two segments, a torso and a head suspend above it by a wire. The torso resembles a robotic woman wearing a sports bra. The head resembles a floating CRT monitor with many embelishments. There is a rectangular blender sticking out back, and a targeting module held above the monitor, which has a pair of vertical line eyes and simple blushes displayed.
