They're nice and innocuous.

OH MY GOARD. The mysterious Mark Morgan did a Hexen II palette interpretation of these pumpkins! If anyone else wants a go, be my guest!

A Mischief of Magpies #2, out next week. So many things in a single issue, and a heartbreaking one I should say. Some of the best art and ideas I've had are here, and I do mean that. You'll see. @dstlry.bsky.social

I'm an official D&D/MTG illustrator working on a game that's p much a love letter to everything I like about RPGs. and more: it's pay-what-you-like. get OMIOS URES for free if you want, I don't care. spread the word, play the game once with your group and I guarantee they will want a campaign. :)
page of OMIOS URES. digital painting over graphite sketch of a chameleon hunter with a hand cannon. his prehensile tail is holding a torch behind him, and various items are strapped to his body. a bandolier with potions, a large bag with a bear trap sticking out, a fairy in a cage hanging from a rod. waterskin, pocket watch, sleeping bag, retro aviator-like goggles on his forehead. he walks hunched, as if sneaking about, and his delicate gait - exactly like a chameleon's - is a visual play, resembling the tippy toe walk of a cartoonish hunter

ITEMS ITEMS ITEMS 

The following pages cover a number of ordinary (and extraordinary) miscellania favored by adventurers.

When employing an item’s Skill Check for a NPC, replace the skill with the NPC’s Body, Mind or Magic. An NPC trying to break out of manacles uses Body instead of Physique.

As long as you have some takeaway -- some lift-out thing each time -- it's worth it.

It's a formality that only counts if you're trying to train yourself to compose AND design AND learn the figure. As long as you got some good info, it's a coup.

I could live to be 200 and still run figures off the page. [In my defense, she was very tall.]

Hi guys, My contract ended and am now looking for work. I am a concept designer with more than 10 years of experience in stylized concept and production art within the entertainment industry. I especially love creature and character design but love worldbuilding as well.

They've been fun! I'm hoping part 3 will tie everything up in a nice little bow.

Some similar affectations, but I'm sure you're bringing out your own quality through the shadow and texture play.

Thanks. The model was giving us a lot of emotional stuff, which is always good grist for the mill.

Paul Richards @paulrichards.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
People love emotion AND memento moris! (Also probably makes 'em think of The Nightmare Before Christmas.)
