Last fall, I did a long interview with Vince Gilligan about Pluribus that, for a variety of complicated reasons, wasn't available in full until today:
totei.com
The View over Vince Gilligan’s Shoulder
The Pluribus showrunner explains how he hatched his Emmy-winning sci-fi hit about the human right to be unhappy.

Some adversaries I made for #TheNewUnknown just hit the streets! They are demons that invade a world that is close to collapse where chrome ronin and bytewitches take on dangerous missions to secure an escape from this Hell(RAVE)! My favorite is the Gremory www.kickstarter.com/projects/198...

The Data on Million-Plus RPG Crowdfunding Campaigns
Crowdfunding began to change the RPG world in 2012, when Monte Cook Games campaigned Numenera. At the time Monte Cook was best known for his work at Wizards of the Coast, and a new game with new mechanics in an unfamiliar science-fantasy setting was not what one would call a sure bet. On Kickstarter, though, the project gathered more than half a million dollars and made it clear that the DIY financing opportunities presented by crowdfunding were very real and very useful.

Unionized staff can support one another, and the collective strength of a union lets individual staff advocate more fiercely for their freelancers. Because we *can't* unionize. Did you know that it's illegal for most designers that work as freelancers to organize in the USA?

a digital painting of ELRIC, Michael Moorcock's most famous character, and albino prince who pulls power from his runesword Stormbringer. here he swoops down into a morass of writhing chaotic life and flesh. his cape billows behind him and a lilac sheen bounces off his gothic armour. the armour is (by fantasy standards) adorned with decorations evoking dragons. the lining of his cape is blood red.

allow me to surf on odyssey hype to repost an old piece from 2013 Penelope, Queen of Ithaca - 30x40cm ink on claybord
a black and white scratchboard illustration depicting Penelope, queen of Ithaca waiting for Odysseus. She is standing at the edge of a small stone platform, the sea right underneath, like by a ray of light, wrapped in black robes. Behind her, stairs climb back up the hill behind tall pine trees. In the distance, a square palace sits on the top of the hill, with light coming from the windows.

It is #PortfolioDay once more. I'm a traditional illustrator specializing in pen and ink. I've contributed to a number of fiction publications and TTRPG projects, and I am currently looking for more work!
Pen and ink illustration depicting a crater in the middle of a sparse pine forest. A glowing meteor sits in the depression, and facing it, a woman kneels, head upturned towards the starry sky. 

Three large, eldritch beasts approach through the trees towards the meteor. The first has many tall, jointed legs and a bony head. The second is serpentine, with a loop-shaped head fronted by tendrils. The third is a dark, six-limbed figure with a featureless bullet-shaped head and glowing eyespots on its chest.Two adventurers, an elf and a dwarf, traverse the ruins of an ancient underground city while a shoggoth lurks on the cavern roof above.Pen-and-ink illustration depicting four monsters bursting out of a vintage TV set: the werewolf from An American Werewolf in London, the creature from The Thing, half-human and half nightmarish alien, the dripping Tarman zombie from Return of the Living Dead, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon reaching toward the viewer.Pen and ink illustration depicting a huge, goatlike demonic warrior against a black background. He holds a flaming sword in one hand and a small imp warrior in the other, kneeling in subservience. Other imps with a variety of appearances and armaments fly around him.

I think people often conflate making a character with a pinned-down backstory, and making a character who's firmly tied into the setting. You can have one without the other.
