Finished The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson for my third time, and it is more and more of a masterpiece every time I read it. Now I have to rewatch The Haunting (1961).

The original cover of The Haunting of Hill House from 1959. The title in large, white san serif font, with "A novel by Shirley Jackson, author of The Lottery" below it.

The background is black, with green, blue and purple plants growing wild, nearly, but not,entirely, obscuring the house behind themselves.

When Zeppo, Chico, Harpo turn a corner to find a microphone, a piano, and a harp - that's Sword Opera. Just exchange those for a sword, a sacred flame, and a loose cobblestone. This skeet brought to you by A Day at the Races (1937).

A little rainy day game for Alfred! I stuff bags with paper and treats (the organs) and stuff those into a bag (the carcass) with more paper and treats. It gives his brains and instincts a nice workout.

Alfred the dog starts digging into a brown paper grocery sack.

Alfred the dog has pulled out a smaller bag from the larger bag and is inspecting it for treats. If the larger bag was a carcass, and the paper its flesh, the scene would be truly gory.

I had a FANTASTIC time sketching out these lil pistols for a #TTRPG client. (I'm aware there's overlap in these aesthetics- mostly I wanted to nail down art direction early for a bigger project!) Give me some more projects where I get to design shit, this was so fun. 😁

four versions of a pistol, each have in common a round disk-like object. the categories are 'moebius-inspired' which has the most colors and quirky design choices like a bead and a star badge; "retro-futurism" which is a classic ray-gun look; "cassette-futurism" that has a tiny monitor , buttons, and a cream colored antenna; and finally "sci-fi grunge" that looks the most like a modern pistol

I encourage anyone who designs games to look at early works like B&B. It's fascinating! There are so many ideas in it, and so many of them could have spun off into other games. It refuses to tell you explicitly what you do, or how it is "meant" to be played. It has dueling rules!

The same character as above, but draw full body and weilding a silver rapier. She's wearing an intricate outfit reminicent of Revolutionary Girl Utena and other magical girl media. She is surrounded by hydrangea flowers and a swirly frame in this one too.

Some covers I’ve painted! Cover for the “Sword Opera” TTRPG, cover for my webcomic “The Wayward Queen” (on hiatus,) and two section covers for “The Straight Way Lost” TTRPG First is digital, second is oils, third mostly oils and minor digital details, fourth oil and digital hybrid

Cover for the Sword Opera TTRPG: a half a dozen motley renaissance characters are having a huge brawl near a baroque pavilion in a garden. A swordsman in black faces off against a swordswoman in red, behind them a be-turbaned swordsman with a blue flaming scimitar is restrained by a pleading damsel, a ruffian in yellow with a couple of daggers sprawls in the foreground, a sneaky rogue in a weird hat circles behind with a dagger, and another damsel kneels behind the duelists begging both her lovers to desist. Dramatic mountains and storm clouds set the scene.

A girl with weird blonde hair in a red jacket and black dress and boots flails in a weird psychedelic space where ornate palatial structures twist and morph into swirling patches of stars. The girl is clutching a mysterious gizmo and looks rather perturbed by all of the weirdness.

A vast and mysterious faerie entity appears in the swirling clouds over an Italian mountain range, wearing a mystic golden amulet with a wonderful crystal. A lone cloaked traveller looks up at her.

Mysterious ancient stone towers emerge from the side of steep knife-edge slopes near the peak of Mount Pisanino. A tall round tower is surrounded by four tall, narrow square towers, all without windows or doors. Visible through cracks in the stonework are masses of intricate gold and crystal gears and mirrors. Surrounding the five central towers are six shorter square stone guard towers, with tiled roofs, parapets for lookouts, and narrow fortified windows and doors. All of the towers seem partly buried in the stone slopes. The slopes around and above are white marble, with ragged greenery, and turbulent clouds above. Two long-haired goats with great curving horns look down on the towers from a flower-decked rock in the foreground.
