Found this lovely scene I made a few years ago, acrylic inks and oil pencils on archival cartridge paper, about 26 x 37cm, feeling far too lazy to add it to my shop so shout me if you want it, £200 inc UK shipping, a bit more to go abroad #crow #forest #artsky

Inky painting of a red sun through a birch forest. Crows playing around a fallen branch.

Landscapes of Prismos: The Shimmering Tower ✨ Across the curvature of the planet’s face, a lonely tower stands, cloaked in whisping sand, shimmering in dreams. Magic flows fast and free in the morning air, coalescing around your fingertips. When you take hold of it, how does it change?

The Shimmering Tower, one of the mystical locations in The Prismatic Oracle. A lonely tower shimmers against an emerald desert, its halls full of omens and arcane artifacts: magic swords and grimoires, the remains of fallen comets, and all manner of ingredients for alchemic experiments and occult rituals.

A riso print of a mysterious train depot, shrouded figures waiting on the platform as a brilliant sun sets behind them.

A riso print of an empty rainswept cafe, the only sign of visitors empty plates, forgotten umbrellas, notebooks, cameras, and a path of wet footprints.

A riso print of a lonely shimmering tower in an emerald desert, holding within its walls mystic artifacts: alchemical equipment, magic swords, grimoires, and telescopes tracking fiery comets.

A riso print of a drowned chamber, various artifacts hidden beneath its waters: discarded weapons and machinery, broken crowns, and small fish dredging the wreckage.

A ghostly train station. A steam locomotive pulls up to the platform, with a crowd of shadowed figures waiting to embark as the golden sun sets behind them.

A rainswept cafe, empty save for the wet footprints of an unseen visitor. Relics of travelers are strewn about: a notebook, a camera, an umbrella, bacon and eggs, and a still-steaming coffee cup.

Angry Carolina Wren stuck in a glass with whipped cream on top and a cinnamon stick, meant to look like a pumpkin spice latte.

Large budgie starting at you with mystical swirls like a crystal ball making up the ball shape of it's body. The caption at the bottom reads "Pondering My Borb", referencing a meme of a Magic the Gathering card featuring wizard pondering his crystal ball.

Hi there #PortfolioDay! I'm Zosimos, a TTRPG designer and printmaker. These days I'm focused on linocut, monoprint, letterpress, and risograph.

A linocut of the lonely planet Peles. A dead birch forest stretches across rolling hills, above it a manor-observatory sits, its telescope aimed at the mystical Blood Comet arcing above. In the foreground sits a circle of eldritch channeling stones, a slumbering clockwork guardian ready to awaken at the first sign of intruders.

A monoprint of the cyborg Nicolai Scarlat. Half his face is contorted in suffering, the other half blank, mechanical, seemingly unfeeling.

A linocut of a dense fungal jungle, giant mushrooms forming a canopy over a small fire where alchemical reagents boils in a retort.

A monoprint of Iona, one of the chief pressmasters of Gutenberg, Ink, shrouded in an inky cloak, quietly weaving grand and inscrutable plans.

Hi there #PortfolioDay! 🎨 I'm a Brazilian freelance working on hand-drawn fantasy maps for novels and RPGs + items and creatures. I have a Patreon with maps + stock art for indie RPGs. 💼 cara.app/salvaterra 🗺️ www.patreon.com/tomeofsalvat... +🔗 fernandosalvaterra.carrd.co #cartography #ttrpg

a fantasy map depicting the Aldarin Empire, a land with several provinces with jagged coastlines, two big mountain ranges, many forests, plains, hills, rivers, lakes and islands.

Map of a kingdom crossed by a river that goes from a mountain range in the northwest to swamps in the southeast, with a long lake in the middle. a big forest just southwest of the lake with a mountain in the center. The map is titled "Fellmyr".

a fantasy map depicting a hell. from the top to the bottom: there's a submarine city of strange towers and glass domes connected to a giant computer in the midst of reefs. a river and a lake goes south from this city in the midst of some ruins, ending on a big dam from where a timid river flows through a desert canyon. beyond the desert, there's another stretch of sea separating it from another city at the end of the map. there are planets hovering above this landscape: the remains of mars and a primeval earth covered in lava, fumes, guns and forts.

illustration depicting six different worlds in cut-out stretches of land: one is a post-apocalyptic scenario, the second is an epic fantasy land, the third is a sci-fi landscape, the fourth is a city-noir landscape, the fifth is a fairy tale world and the final one is an submarine landscape with monsters and cities. All these are being drawn to the center of the artwork where a "world under construction" is cut to show its magic demon melting core full of hellfire, circled by a magic dust ring, orbited by dragons, whitchy houses, flying wooden ships and spacecraft, surrounded by scafolding and attached to strange machinery and gigantic pipes and hoses at its bottom.

Did you know I had an Etsy? Wow me neither—wait how did these get here? www.etsy.com/listing/4482... I've been making book clocks for a couple of years now and finally got around to putting them up online for people to grab even if they don't make it to my in person markets! They really tell time!

A staged photo of a book that has the working hands of a clock. This book is a light, bright green, and has two arches in orange that create an oval on the cover. At the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions there are silver squares.

A photo of a book clock made from a purple book. The books leather is stamped with gold foil flowers.

This book clock clearly shows signs of use, the book cloth's pink cover has a black rectangular stamp added to the top right corner with swirling lines in it.

This book clock depicts a blue storm with a small black silhouette of a city at the very bottom. A bright lightning bolt shoots from the top to the bottom center of the cover.
