An ideal of beauty, the Elf of the River reminds me of Jung’s Anima. But perhaps that resemblance is itself another of CODO’s false paths. Some things in Askedon seem designed to be misread. If you want to read my retrospective series on this obscure game, you can... 1/2

I’m sure I’m not the only one looking at this memorable main menu with a bit of nostalgia. If you’re an old fan, or you’ve only come across the game through the recent wave of YouTube videos about it, I’ve been writing a Patreon series about how I finally managed to beat it.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

I am writing a series of short articles on my Patreon about the biggest gaming exploit I ever managed to pull off: I finally beat The City of the Dark Obelisk – Extended Edition! I understand why you don’t believe me. Link in the comments, if you are curious.

A fellow patreon supporter commissioned me with my take of the classic Ancestral Recall, originally illustrated by the excellent Mark Poole. Since I am a pompous artist I wrote a long article about it.

Why, exactly, should you think and draw as simply as possible? I dig into that question in a Patreon article, somewhat pretentiously and philosophically :D No subscription required.

A devastated woman stands centre frame with a bloodied right hand lifted over her eyes to shield herself from the viewer. Her left hand, also bloody, clutches her white apron, staining it. She sits within an ornate medieval frame with floral accents. Beyond the frame surrounding the whole image is a lush field of colourful flowers and plants. Hidden within the flowers to the right is a skeleton with its palms cradling its chest where the heart would’ve been.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m an illustrator with a focus on fantasy, history & narrative illustration. My dream is to illustrate more book covers with beautiful badass characters, especially women in armor. Please make it happen, universe 🙏 🌎 www.kristinagehrmann.com 📩 info@kristinagehrmann.com
Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.
A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

And catching sight of Helen moving along the ramparts, they murmured one to another, gentle, winged words: "Who on earth could blame them? Ah, no wonder the men of Troy and Argives under arms have suffered years of agony all for her, for such a woman. Beauty, terrible beauty!"

A spooky or ghostly figure with long grayish/yellow hair and an unnatural purple/reddish face, a half open grin and bright yellow pale eyes. They are wearing a long off-white shirt/dress hing with half-lenght sleeves revealing black spiky gauntlets underneath. Behind them is a bright green meadow with spots of light and little white flowers, thick greenery/trees and a gray/white/blue sky peeking out at the top. There are some white butterflies in the back.
