Post your marine themed art.

Chaos Goatman I did earlier this year, fun little weirdo.

A goatman in rusty, battered armor. He wears a chaos symbol on his chest and has a large spiked club in his left hand. A belt of skulls adorns his waist. He looks pretty cool.

I made a dinosaur for our book drop box at work. I heard my first "oooh, a dinosaur!" from a small child today and it was awesome.

A book drop box at a library. The opening is a dinosaurs mouth. The dinosaur is various shades of green and has a long open snout. The design is based on a suchomimus.

I don't know what this actually means, but I wanted to try it.

A screenshot of my test results for differentiating between two very similar colors. My result is 0.0030, I don't know if that is good or bad.

Share your skull art... Show me your skulls...

A dingy yellow carnivorous skull, jaws agape with bloody white eyeballs surrounded by sketchy, ghostly white teeth on a black background.

Just finished this one. It was fantastic; weird, existential, deeply human. It was exactly the book I needed to read exactly when I needed it.

The cover image to Slow Gods by Claire North. A lone ship depicted in bright, light yellow crossing into the center of a series of concentric red circles with planets, also in red, floating at the periphery.

A Mork Borg weirdo type. Thinking about doing a little book of these, just odd characters/encounters.

An old man with clownish white hair, staring upwards, wide eyed. He looks unhinged, dark black circles under his eyes,mouth agape, teeth slightly sharp. He's wearing rusty chain maille voiders overtop a dirty, stained arming coat. He's speckled in mud and, most likely blood. In his left hand he's loosely holding a man catcher device with pointy brass spikes in it. The shadow he casts on the ground is very goblin-like.

Been a pretty lousy year so far, so I decided to spend a few days revisiting The Rainy City.

A black and white, medieval style illustration of a monstrous sea creature with a boat growing out of its back. The creature looks like a mix between a fish, walrus and pig. It is swimming in a bay in front of a cityscape of mixed old world buildings and crumbling stone fortifications. Its raining, its always raining.

Doin' weird digital ink stuff today.

A weird, tentacle/eyeball monster. It has one big eye with three irises. White ink lines define the texture on black, blurry ink tentacles. There's a soft purple glow just behind the creature and a inky, bleeding red background.

A black and white, armored lizard creature with a beak. It is rendered in messy brushwork.

A little bit of chaos...as a treat.

A static-y goat man, clad in plate armor and holding a large spiked club. He has a belt of skulls and a 8 pointed chaos star necklace. A chaos star stands on a post behind him with a distorted abstract background.

Inspired by @lettuces.bsky.social super cool artstyle and 40k illo they shared the other day.

An old warhammer 40k soldier type guy. He has short grey hair and mustache to match. Wearing battered plate armor, holding a chainsaw order aloft with the word "faith" on the blade. He stands in an industrial area, surrounded by machinery.

Just a skeleton, doin' stuff...

A skeleton in a full length dark Grey robe with a white and light grey sun on its back. The skeleton has a head dress of rusted iron bands and spikes. An aura of sickly green energy surrounds the figure who us gesturing vaguely.

The background has dark pillars with bright white gibberish letters on them.

A recent piece I had the pleasure of doing for Judd Karlman's Forgotten Cairns supplement.

A warrior on horseback, he us wearing Persian style chain mail armor with metal plates attached and a pointed helm with golden accents. There is a shield on his left arm depicting the face of a displacer beast and he holds a spear pointed downward in his right hand. The reddish-brown horse has a light touch of blue paint on its nose and is moving slowly through foggy, rock covered ground.

Pretty pumped about this:

It announces the third book, titled "The Thrice-Bound Fool" will be released on October 13th, 2026.

Messin' around with old images...

A skull headed woman dressed as a peasant sharpens a scythe in front of a room full of dead bodies. The image has a grainy texture laid over top of it.

Got to play a bit of Coriolis today at Gameholecon. It's a really cool game, cant wait to play more of it. Here's the weird space bird I sketched up for our crew:

A pencil drawing of a super frazzled looking space bird with extra eyes and giant talons. It is perched atop of a three eyed skull.

This was fantastic. A brilliant approach to alien ways of thinking and of existing.

The cover of a sci fi novel called "Shroud." It depicts a ship colored in neon yellow crashing down into a spiky black and white environment.

This old wizard knows how to party.

A medieval woodcut style drawing of an old wizard covered in his long hair and beard. He declines on a sitting bed, holding out a cup of wine. The shelves near him are full of jars and odd containers.

Finished this the other night. It's glorious and weird and dark and awesome. If you're into medieval weirdness/light horror, I highly recommend it.

Cover for the book "The Starving Saints." Depicting a medieval style painting of a robed, nun-like figure holding a panel from a beehive with multiple terrified faces looking out from its hood.

See a sword, post a sword.

A thin, pale skinned, white-haired man stands in red pants wearing blackened shoulder, arm, shin, and foot armor. He has a massive black bladed sword leaning on his right shoulder. There is a purple panel behind him in which wispy yellow shapes curl and writhe.

Just finished The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach. It was awesome and weird in the best of ways.

The cover for a novel called "The Dawnhounds." Despicting the upper stories of a cloudy or foggy cityscape with mushroom houses. The mast of a large ship juts up through the fog in the background.

Bill @warbeard.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Super lucky streak at the moment. The last three books I've read have been fantastic.

The book cover for "Your Blood, My Bones." It depicts two hands locked together wrapped in thorny vines on a dark green background.

A stark red cover for "Sharp Teeth" with a silhouetted black dog howling with a wide open mouth of light grey teeth.

I'm really fond of Mike Faille's character art. You can check it out at mikefaille.com Here's a few examples I found here on Bluesky:

A fairy sprite knight errant riding on an armored corgi. The knight is holding a leaf shaped shield and a lance.

A heavily armored cleric with glowing white eyes is cautiously walking through a dark jungle. She had shoulder-length dark hair and a long cloak, javelins on her back and a raven painted on her round shield.

If you see this, post a skeleton. I got skeletons for days...

A grainy, photo bashed image of a skeletal witch, surrounded by crows with one emerging from her eye socket.

A black and digital illustration of Ghost Rider. A leather jacket wearing, flaming skeleton.

A medieval woodcut style illustration of Conan wielding a two handed sword against a skeleton with a pole axe.

Two skeletal woman pour wine or blood at a skeletal knights feet.
