From the Solar Ruins Field Guide. The Federation flesh farmers of 8 Flora pay real Fed Credits for fresh protein, giving crews like the Gargant Cluster Organ Stealers a reason to live up the pirate reputation.

From the Solar Ruins Field Guide. Not all pirates are bloodthirsty reavers. Some are folks brave enough to imagine Sol free of capitalism, and don’t mind breaking a few eggs along the way.

Bulky clothes have always been a huge challenge for me, and since my next project is space-suit based, I’ve been diligently practicing. It’s a bit of a divergence from my normal clean lines style, but I’m very happy with this Spacer from tonight’s drawing session.

Where’s Gravy!? I’ve been in the illustration mines, err… pipes! PIPESONG illustrations are coming along nicely.

I’ve been working on developing the visuals, here are a few sketches of the Tangle

A few small figures traverse a walkway built on top of enormous pipes

Workers relax or work, in an environment full of pipes of all shapes and sizes

There are a few empty results left to fill out, but I got 90% of the way there on our pipecrawl loaded encounter die table. The last 10% are going to be special encounters that only trigger when the Phase track has advanced. Merc killteams, refugees, outlaw unionists, rogue machines...

I turned my pretty tangle map into a functional one. There are a lot of challenges when reconciling map + keys + layout. You want related locations on the same spread, varied adjacent keys, etc. There are fewer keys on the map, but the same number in the book. 10-15 becomes 10a-10e.

A map of 04 Deck, an industrial level on an enormous space station called Prospero's Dream. It is abstract, and resembles a circuit board with radially arranged traces.

Today's Gravy: - Therapy day - Went for drinks with my mom PIPESONG - Wrote a backerkit update - Finished the Tangle map - Took another run at the Hive map, still WIP

The hive is an enclave of cooperative criminals hidden in the mazelike interstitial space within the outer hull plates of Prospero's Dream

The connective paths in the tangle point crawl represent the primary pipes that connect 04 Deck's infrastructure to the rest of Prospero's Dream

The weird varmint who lives in my house turned FOUR yesterday! Happy birthday Gravy

A beautiful tortoise shell cat laying precariously on top of cabinet doors. Its arms and extremely fluffy tail are dangling. Why is it like this? Is it a gargoyle? A monster? A perfect baby? Yes.

My stylistic goals for my art are simple: I want it to exist. If it looks good, that’s a pretty sweet bonus.

Just wanted to share a personal accolade—I hit a thousand downloads on my itch page! Thanks to everyone that's checked out, read, or provided feedback on one of my adventures Here's a sneak peak at what's in the pipeline: a corporate Sci-Fi module for Monolith, set in a giant scrapyard

1. Aft hold: preferred by union crews. Visitors leave ship callsigns in wax marker, hundreds cover the floor and walls.
2. Fore hold: preferred by incognito crews. Sightlines broken up with a few wrecked shuttles and abandoned cargo containers.
3. Engineering: everything was taken from this deck, a fat hole marks the spot where the reactor used to be.
4. Bridge: the old flight control system is still here. A relic, running off magnetic tape and thumb size circuit components. Injection molded housing of brittle yellowed plastic.
5. Crew levels: nothing remains. Exposed structural beams beneath an open roof to hard vacuum.
6. Station exterior: pockmarked with dents from debris impacts, and holes where instruments and attitude thrusters have been stripped away.
