Sunsets are violet For now, I'll stop talking about the project, but there's a lot more stuff in the Kaukasalo world book! Support us or any L&L product, if you want to see more!

Sometimes the best approach is classic lineart → flat color → rendering. I love it for detailed, complex subjects and concept art. I shy away from lineart when I want to paint motion, mood and lighting. Maybe one day I'll be experienced enough to get it all from a simple sketch!

Little sidequest! As I was working on the world book of Kaukasalo, I also spend few weeks on top of work painting this cover for Legenda magazine, my third year in a row! Check out all L&L projects if you want to support the Finnish TTRPG scene! Or me!

I started the sketch for Vaskihamina twice: the first time early in the morning before going to work, and the second time after that workday, as I thought I had lost my Photoshop file. Later I found the og sketch too, and it's funny how similar the sketches are.

Explorations and final illustration of Tuuliniityt, for the Kaukasalo L&L world book!

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I like to do 1-5 warmup sketches every morning just to throw away (the act of throwing away is a very important part of it, otherwise you start trying too much and the whole point of warming up gets lost), but among these I accidentally found an idea I liked.

The boats and the riverlands are among my favourite in this book! I made alot of studies and paintings of this subject before eventually breaking out Blender to do the blockout for the final illustration. You can find Kaukasalo, the finnish L&L world book, at any well-prepared bookstore!

Working with Kaukasalo, I created multiple sketches for this location before eventually starting the painting over from photos I took last year visiting Iceland.

Such an honor to work with yet another L&L book, this time the campaign setting of Kaukasalo! I also wrote a short article about my progress (in finnish) here: myrrys.com/blog/26-07-1... Going to be posting some of my work from the book in the upcoming days!

I can't edit the typo I made with laying vs lying, but at least you know it's not written by AI 😂

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

AI is the epitome of the crisis already started with the industrial revolution. It’s not to be accepted, as I would not accept laying down and dying either.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

As we end up walking in streets where there’s nothing to look at, watching reels predicted by the greek seers, eating food made exactly like the chain tells them to make it, we truly stop experiencing life itself.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

This makes our brain merge events together, day to day, year to year, since what would separate Tuesday from Monday two years ago?

120

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

These things, these human-made, personal, weird occurances are disappearing, as everything becomes more and more streamlined, fast-paced, mass produced, and I think it has one major disadvantage for the human experience: When everything becomes the same, there is no novelty for the brain to pick up.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

There is nothing to stop for, to admire, to carefully look at, to wonder: Who made this? Why is there a small horse flying in the carpet weave?

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Imagine a street without a hint of architects love. The grey buildings after sand-colored buildings after modest brown. The door handles lack design and character, the key to every house is the same.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Imagine the loneliness of pushing a button to create a Marvel Movie, and then watching. No one came together to argue how the plot should be, and no one saw it with you either. It was perfectly catered for you, triggering you with what you think is wrong, bringing relief in ways you expected.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

When nothing is done with care and effort, there’s nothing to appreciate, to wonder, to admire.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

The thing that makes AI terrifying is not that it’s stealing someone’s job. It’s not that it makes it million times easier to produce a video. It’s not even the enviromental cost, if compared to what it does to our psyche as human beings.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I want to ask: Did we survive? Did we actually get better of from letting factories produce our clothes, our houses, our kitchenware? Is it truly a magnificent world where we live now, with abundance of stuff and that does not falter (or if it does, is as easily replacable as a disposable cup)?

141

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

While one driven by greed, industrialization, and mechanical efficiency will create soulless and uninspired works. Sounds familiar? I’m not about to make the point that since factories happened and we survived, AI should as well happen, as it’s just part of the inevitable train of progression.

John Ruskin, art critic and inspiration to the movement, wrote that art is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a reflection of the ethical and moral health of a civilization. To Ruskin, a society that values truth, integrity, and human welfare will produce great art, ->

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

This is not the first time humans have faced craftmanship traded for mass production. At late 19th century the Arts & Crafts movement was formed, a rebellion to the rise of factories, that at the time were viewed as “a insult to craftmanship, severing people from the joy of craftmanship”.

Study of the gorgeous Geraldine James from the movie Ghandi spend around 45 minutes. faces always gets me stuck with scribbling, since it's so easy to tell why a face is not working, but so hard to fix it while looking at it

Slightly older painting made for Dark, the TTRPG I'm working on. Not super happy with it anymore, but I'm already at a threshold of not wanting to post it, so I might as well now and then bury it with newer work :joy: #ttrpg #ttrpgart #indiettrpg

20 minute lunch study I hate the term lunch study, since it implies that you need to skip lunch in order to have time to study. don't skip lunch!! unless you don't care about lunch that much, then okay, neglect your lunch as much as you want to. #dailypainting

In the other hand, things are very different in the lawless Scutum-Crux. There, you might end up on someone’s table by just being a rare enough sight.

Cattle graze freely while their caretakers provide protection from predators, medical care, and shelter during harsh seasons. The mental health benefits are immense when you don't have to constantly slaughter your beloved animal companions.

In the Orion-Cygnus Junction, farm animals roam the fallowing fields, naturally replenishing nutrients and fertilizing the land. No meat, milk, or hair is harvested—instead, a true symbiosis exists.

Junowski @junowski.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

I debated hard how to approach farm animals in DARK the TTRPG. For me, sci-fi should both explore ideas for bettering human(or any alien)kind, while also showcasing the dystopian societies, that show lack of interest in morals or wellbeing of planets and their habitants.

I haven't really participated to Mermay too many times, but I could find this puffer mermaid from the archives. I don't think I pushed the puffer fish concept enough with the original one, and today I had only a few minutes to do it again half-assed. Maybe next year!
