I imagine a bunch of these sitting on the tavern bar, on a little rickety kiosk. For plot reasons, I decided to rough it up a bit. I used #timholtz distress oxide stamp pads, watercolor, & a gold gel pen. #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG #TabletopRPG www.reddit.com/r/DungeonsAn...

I wanted to give my players a handout that captured the enormity of the Undermountain, along with a visual reference they could consult as they explored. imagined it as the sort of thing the Yawning Portal might sell to would-be delvers. #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG #TabletopRPG #DungeonMap

I did a redesign of the Baulder’s Gate city map. I really like the way it turned out. I’ll probably end up changing some colors on the final since they printed weird, but ultimately, I think I managed to do what I set out to. #dand #DungeonsandDragons #maps #citymaps #roleplay #bauldersgate

My redesign city map of Neverwinter. Had fun with this one, but I’m not sold on the age effects. Originally I wanted it to be more subtle. But 😂 #dandd #maps #Dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg www.reddit.com/r/Dungeons_a...

Finished the final draft of my Map of Waterdeep. Although it was weird redesigning something that already existed—instead of building it from scratch—I really love the way it turned out. #waterdeep #roleplay #dandd #DungeonsandDragons

Waterdeep City map prototype is done! Just need to make some small changes. I really like how the gold and age effects turned out.

Starting a new D&D campaign based in Waterdeep so I remade the city map in my style. Still working on getting the printing margins correct, but my test print came out really well — little clipping. Total map is 22” x 36”. I’m planning on doing some age effects and some gold leaf. Very excited.

Built another Magic Card deck box for a friend. It’s for the “Peace Offering” Bloomburrow deck, which is all rabbit themed, so I tried to pull off a Redwall adjacent design. I think it turned out pretty good.

Finished my husband’s #MtG box. He plays blue-black from the Murders at Karlov Manor set which reads steampunk so I decided to do gears and copper verdigris.

Had to redesigned my #Mtg deck box. Like an idiot, I didn’t account for the size of a cards WITH sleeves. This time I decided to do an intricate lattice work on the top instead of the leather leaves. I really like the way it turned out. #magic #art

Recently, I got back into #MtG and I wanted to create a cute box for my cards. Since the commander deck is from #Bloomburrow I made a whimsical wooden box with leather leaves. I’m really happy with the prototype. #magicthegathering #mtgcards

It’s surreal that I’m back at a game store, buying Magic cards. Haven’t played in like 20 years and I was a bit nervous tbh. I love the kid that helped me find a commander deck though, he was all like “—or you could play this deck, it’s full of cute as fuck raccoons!” 😂 #mtg #nerds

I wrote a short poem about the Fae taking over an unfinished attic. It's very whimsical, and I love the way it turned out. I like using poems—although I'm skeptical of that word—as a way to simulate the rhythm of "casual" storytelling. #fae #lore #storytelling open.substack.com/pub/mstrange...

I was inspired by #art deco jewelry and tried to replicate the feel of the pieces. I designed the shapes first in #illustrator, then cut them out, adding pits and staining to invoke the idea of age. Text and spacing was used to make each element feel like It was lying in a display case. #collage

Another experiment with script. I’m happy with the technique, but a little underwhelmed by the final result. Definitely something to build off of. #art #design #collage #script
