tfw the work is better before it's finished, when the colour palette's still pretty pure. Pic is from the 'Duckpak: The Quackford Terror' book.

Colour illustration of a bare oak tree at sunset, next to some wetland. Some chains run from the branches of the tree to large rocks on the grouynd. Some fantasy duck-people are creeping through the undergrowth at the front of picture.

A well-balanced society should contain a roughly equal amount of 808- and 909-based music. When there is an excess of music made with 909s, tensions and unpredictability will rise, while in periods of excessive 808 prevalence, that society will experience widespread complacency.

War of the Worlds martian tripods and war machines battling the ships of the Victorian British Navy out to sea at night, from @theonyxpath.bsky.social's 'Aether' RPG book. H.G. Wells riffs and more weird science besides. Out now!

One ship is being shot with a bright laser beam, one martian tripod walker is on fire. Sailors are in the rough water, being grappled by another war machine's tentacles. It's night and the explosions are lighting up the dark scene with flashes of yellow fire and white laser light.

This is #3 in a series of threads about Gloranthan art hanging on my walls. This one is so good, I bought it twice, first as a commission for my book, The Voralans, and here as the original hand-drawn ink art from @leeoconnor.bsky.social. In the book, this picture is in full colour, added digitally.

A picture in a frame. It is drawn in black ink on white paper. It shows a small mushroom-capped humanoid, riding a giant beetle. Several fungal "fronds" come out of the beetle's body, and are reaching up into the air.
