New blog post on my experience colouring other artists' work for Swords Without Master! www.portablecity.net/colour-desig... Featuring art by @mapcrow.bsky.social and @simonroy.bsky.social

A screenshot of the blog post, showing two pairs of images, each with a black and white linework version drawn by Simon Roy, and a full colour, digitally painted version. The drawings are of snowy scenes - a pair of carts of merchants meeting, and a mossy overgrown outdoor hot sprint sauna.

Inside the crypt of a powerful karazadi noble. The ossuary niches here are built into a protective idol of a horned marmot, to deter the living and dead from interfering with the remains. Long bones are kept in the niche to the right, and fine bones gathered into a bronze reliquary on the left.

One of the few public temple-saunas of Karazad to survive the Domekan invasion. Built by the Demiurge to cleanse and fortify the subjects of his city, perhaps as an apology for the many troubled spirits that his ill works unleashed upon them…

Lord Doka, the Domekan military governor of Karazad. The traditional skull-cap favored by Domekan nobility has been modified for his new domain, with a fold-down mask for spiritual defense. Notably, a karazadi nobleman's helm, presumably a war trophy, is displayed on his desk.

One of my pride and joys on the hobby bookshelf, with two masterpieces by @brianduguid.bsky.social on the bottom left - I shudder to think of the money I've spent on it all, but don't regret a single cent. A rather respectable collection of Gloranthan material, I'd like to think.
