Greetings, habitués of the Wandering Shop. As Mick Jagger likes to sing, "Please allow me to #introduce myself…"
I'm the #author / #illustrator of a tabletop role-playing game (#TTRPG) who enjoys posting the odd pencil #sketch, #ink outline, or full-#color #illustration that eventually became #art for the game —plus a few that never made it in.
I also like to share whatever #book / #podcast / #artwork is currently filling me with #RPG #inspiration.
Émigré from another instance.

Rafm’s reptiliads send you season’s greetings as they bring home their tree on a war turtle. (Bob Murch illus for ad in Dragon magazine No 80, December 1983.) https://oldschoolfrp.tumblr.com/post/189539433302/oldschoolfrp-rafms-reptiliads-send-you-seasons
For my latest #throwback, here's a pencil #sketch, #ink outline, and full-#color #illustration of human farm woman.
She doesn't swing a sword nor cast spells, but she's the reason your fantasy heroes are going to have a hot meal when they get back to civilization after their latest dungeon crawl.
Potential #Spoilers for Season 3 of #Netflix's "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power"

Here's another #throwback, an early pencil #sketch of airship captain that never made it into the game
Enjoy a pencil #sketch of one of the Rakshasas from the fantastical world of Haven, shape-shifters cursed to never again return to their original forms.
An excerpt:
"...Even those depicted in the artworks of other species have all been replaced by blank spaces on canvases, gaps in bas-reliefs, and empty lines in songs. Just about everyone on Haven is certain the Rakshasas went extinct during the same magical catastrophe that gave rise to..."
Ready for another #throwback? Here's a pencil #sketch, #ink outline, and full-#color #illustration of Sophie. She's a woman from Berlin, who in her younger and much angrier youth, earned the name "Menace" —and she's in no hurry to correct anyone who calls her that.
Have a pencil #sketch, #ink outline, and full-#color #illustration of a very rare being in the fantastical world of Haven: a ghost.
Only humans, who lost their connection to Mother Haven, and cannot become one with Her after death, can get trapped in this strange "un-dead" state.
Dealing with ghosts has taught some of Haven's strongest psychics how to create "ghost blades", and other constructs, from their own minds.
Enjoy another #throwback, a drawing which never made it into the original game, but which I might use in the next version.
Enjoy a pencil #sketch, #ink outline, and full-#color illustration of one of the Wakyambi people from the fantastical world of Haven. He is swaddled in a treatment known as "new skin" as he attains a mental state which translates into "very beautiful intent/consciousness".
Enjoy another #throwback: the original pencil #sketch, #ink outline, and full-#color drawing of a Sidhe (Elf) Archer from the world of Haven.
@TeethTeethTeeth Hmm...
One way to do this might be to think of ‘#elves’ as the ‘forest folk’, and tap into different cultures’ stories for their features and abilities. In some #African nations, there are legends of tall, beautiful people who live in the deepest part of the forest and bring humanity gifts. In #Japan, you have tales of spirit-people linked to special places in nature. In places where #orangutans live, they are sometimes described as ‘forest people’.
Enjoy another #throwback from when I moved instances and lost a bunch of posted drawings. This one is a pencil #sketch that never made it into the game: a clockwork automaton trying to repair his own arm.
...and I'm back.
This time, I'm finishing that #throwback I started: the pencil #sketch from my last post, plus the later #ink outline, and the final full-#color illustration. It's my take on a certain undersea #superhero.
I've decided to start an irregular #throwback day, to re-post/re-toot some of the work that went up in a cloud of electrons when I emigrated from another instance.
Here then, is a #sketch of my take on a certain undersea #superhero.
