I'd like to recommend Split Tarock for your Tarocktober festivities. Easier to get to the table, as you only need one other player. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...

Bid, stash, and try for the half-wit in this tarock for two.

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making. These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏
6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three.  There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.

🏳️‍⚧️HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY!!!🏳️‍⚧️ I'm Julien, a trans man illustrator from Italy! My dream is to work for Wizard Of The Coast and Magic the Gathering! Right now I'm freelancing, so if you're looking for a dark fantasy illustrator for your project or book, hit me up! 💗🏳️‍⚧️ #tdov #transdayofvisibility
"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes. Illustration of a young elf with short brown hair and pointed ears kneeling in a misty forest, reaching desperately toward an ornate gold crown with blue gemstones that lies in a shallow stream just out of reach.Crown King sitting on his throne of screaming skulls. He's surrounded by tangled trees in a horror and dark fantasy themed environmentIllustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The scene is showing a young woman wearing a blue coat lost in an heavy atmospheric forest in which the trees tangles with each other and the roots are everywhere on the ground. The woman is sitting - knees down - on the grass, the look on her face seems scared and hurt while she tries to extract a glow arrow from her chest, dripping blood as she's looking at the viewer, terrified. Next to her, on the grass, there's a bloody knife almost hidden.
