Hello, TTRPG #artists of Bluesky! I am starting the search for pieces I can use for cover art for upcoming issues of The Hearth Magazine. I am interested in stock art, or possibly a non-exclusive license on a piece you have. Feel free to comment below with links, genAI catches a block.

I added planet stickers for sale on my Ko-fi page! I'm down to the last copy of my game Florafiora (for now) ko-fi.com/emhawk/shop

Four planet stickers. The look like they have white edges- but the edges are transparent when you peel 'n stick them!

PAX West went great this year! I had a good time at the PNW Game Market, and @zephyrworkshop.bsky.social was nice to share some booth space with me on Monday. I'm nearly sold out of Florafiora again! It means a lot that folks are giving my weird little game a shot, I'm reinspired to keep going.

Another card from the game I'm working on. A phoenix that changes based on the season they appear in.

A card from my storytelling game Florafiora. I like to imagine they reincarnate within each season.

I've really enjoyed watching the development of Effervescent and Flock Ton into the games they are today, and the one play of Spelling Beach (By local designer and good friend @vescis.bsky.social ) I had was really fun. Absolutely worth a look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wei...

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

Screenshot of a tumblr post by user aureliobooks that reads: My dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. Sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

A constellation commission for a private client last year! ❇️ They wanted a custom card illustrated - and used it as a surprise marriage proposal to their partner when they played their favorite board game together. I thought that was very sweet.

A hare & hound constellation booping noses - combining into a new constellation! This had a personal meaning for the client, making this into a custom card for Spirit Island. The intent was to sneak the card into the deck- when they drew the card it was time to propose! A very special commission I had the privilege to work on.

Playable characters from the lands of Winter From my storytelling game - @florafiora.bsky.social #ttrpg

Athough all my plantfolk characters are they/them I was thinking of settling on 'Queen' since nonbinary usually defaults to male / King

On the flipside of the character sheet is the scrunglier character option (if you don't want to be fancy). Part of me wants them to canonically be the Queen in disguise but I'll leave that to other folks interpretations.
