I forgot to post this yesterday, but we've got two more of these this year. Thought that counts?

My art assets and dystopic, corporate entity branding work, so far, for a Mothership adventure and sourcebook I'm working on.

A little puddle jumper, exterior and interior. I'm displaying the maps on a 27" CRT that I intend to flush mount to the bottom of a 50", round table.

I took a lot of the art drawn from my two-level Cottage (organic research vessel) and standardized it, added some detail to it, and pieced it out. Here's one level from that map and another new, dystopic corporate entity logo. I'm leaning into the '70s origin of Alien for all the corpo aesthetics.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

I made an Affinity asset library for all the bits and bobs I'm adding to sci-fi maps for my Mothership sourcebook. It makes piecing together complex scenes (like this Ace Judicial corporate mediation chamber) buildable, fast.

Two more fake, evil corp. for Mothership.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

'Couple more fictional corporations for a Mothership sourcebook I'm working on. The list grows, but the corpo stooges and grunts gotta come from somewhere. And the businesses beget all the rest in a setting like this.

Compilation of all my Mothership corpo-distopia logos from yesterday and tonight. Got a lot more to make for my sourcebook. I've freelance illustrated & designed for clients like Nike, Burton, Nickelodeon, MST3K, etc, for 20+ years, so I'm putting on my vector hat for these and having some fun.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Some of the logos are one-revision wonders, others (cough, VSC), are a very iterative process.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Working on the fictional independent corporate entities for my dystopic Mothership ttrpg sourcebook. It's a great excuse to make some fake logos. Lmao.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Finished my two-level corpo-research vessel map for a @mothership.bsky.social one-shot I'm running soon. Drawing all the bits as I went is creating a bit of a vector asset library to more quickly make maps for Mothership in the future which makes me happy.

VTT Map for the ttrpg Mothership module I've written. Level one, crew quarters, medbay, restrooms, mess hall, engineering, storage/refuse, dock, airlock.

VTT Map for the ttrpg Mothership module I've written. Level two, cryo sleep, bridge, research lap, corpo-stooge living area.

Had a blast drawing the tiny bits on this @mothership.bsky.social adventure map. Now I just need to finish two other levels.

1122

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

I'm drawing the first level map of a @mothership.bsky.social one-shot I'm writing. I just need to finish the armory and the armory security scanner room. Close.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Making some new animations for my club's game room, today (I projection mapped the walls and table for running D&D--well, DCC, in my case).

100 year old walnut lining the walls of room setup for playing tabletop RPGs. There's a 12' projected battlemap and two faux-windows with hand animated scenes.

Gammorean guard, taxidermied head wall mount sculpt. Wip. Tinkering as I have time.

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Some progress on my decaying Gamorrean Guard wall hang.

What I got done on my decaying gamorrean guard sculpt tonight!

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Just getting the proportions blocked in. Decaying, one exposed socket, the usual.

More miniature set design.

Creature token doodles continue. My first time using Krita in a while--and the first digital or iPad/Clip Studio thing in ages.

Messing around with some stylistic departures for my TTRPG tokens.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Found this work of mine in the wild. Bones Coffee Co. sells some of the SpongeBob art I made for Nickelodeon on bags 'n mugs.

Making quick character portraits for a kids D&D game my shop runs this Sunday. Like a billion more to go.

Two years in, and I still can't believe I built this, game master here, and get to create adventures, art, animation for this space.

Tonight’s bedtime 3ttrpg token doodle. Another pulpy sci-fantasy alien-y monster.

Sitting next to @jentendo.bsky.social, working on #ttrpg tokens in the car. I put a fez on everything. I'm feztive.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I should revisit this clean, isometric #ttrpg map template I made for Affinity Designer at some point.

A simple, black and white, isometric ttrpg map.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Thanks! My guiding star for that is ‘80s toy backer card art. Earl Norem’s He-Man work in particular.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

I start by making a color palette to be shared among alike/faction monsters, and that helps keep crab-brain-things sitting alongside mutant cultists feeling of-a-kind.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

This art is in their licensing catalog, and I see it, even 10 years later, on things like hats, shirts, folders--you get the idea. It's fun to wander into an H&M in Prague and see my work on a mannequin, but I've never been one to focus on client work as means of validation. I like MY weird stuff.

140

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Come with me on a journey. One of my many freelance gigs was creating art for Nick--SpongeBob art, specifically. It needed to be weird enough that kids would think it rad, but not so weird parents wouldn't buy it. The dictate after the first round of revisions was to, paraphrasing, make it more me.

Cobbling together more simple tokens for my D&D VTT install.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Working on a color palette for faction token paintings for a mega dungeon I've been futzing with. I'm really digging the Astropad Rock Paper Pencil textured screen protector.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I can't believe I get to DM surrounded by century-old, wood-lined walls on an equally old, fourteen foot long table. I projection mapped the room and can change out the VTT, faux-windows, and wall sculptures with whatever animated skins I make.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

I made 4-up, zero-level character sheets for @goodmangames.bsky.social's Mutant Crawl Classics. Before we started our gaming social club, I streamed in games on Goodman's Twitch, and I love DCC/MCC. They're simple sheets, but a bit of design to make the medicine go down never hurt anyone.

If you see this, post some inked art.

An undead cowboy is revived by a mad scientist in a weird west lab.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I felt like my art had gotten too tight, and I eventually settled with something looser for my #ttrpg work at the time. At least for the inked things.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I was playing a LOT of Goblin Quest as pickup games a few years ago, so I made my own character sheet and drew up a ton of gobbos.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I drew about 60 NPCs for my campaign a few years ago. Sable brush and ink for a lot of them. Here are a few.

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

It's a century-old bank. Concrete and steel and marble and brass. A joy to set-decorate. The old board room was a perfct D&D space (after carving hundreds of feet of foam to make it look like wood and sculpting monsters for it, haha).

030

FRENDEN @frenden.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

The social club is less an attempt to make money (marxist here), it's a chance to try and meet people and have a space a human can linger. It's been a great excuse to build, create, and use the weird skills picked up during a long career of creative mish-mash. But the best part is the people.
