From the necromar deck: Unlike most creatures living in the caverns near a volcano, the Chamosaur can easily be tracked because it leaves a noticeable trail by dissolving the rock in which it moves.

Thanks! It really isn’t about storage. Mainly about having too many permutations for sizes and images. Going to try this route and see if it works

Dougie @ ShadowMyths @shadowmyths.com · 1d

Thanks. I think printify and printful are one company now

What are people's opinions on Printify for POD t-shirts? I keep getting people asking for t-shirts of my stuff (with my one-liners on them) and I did that for a while but storing the quantities myself wasn't cost-effective.

So, I may try the Printify POD route.

From the necromar deck: When required, many mages and merchants will hire out a Memory Bank so that they can safely transport their messages to another recipient. Stored within the chest of the Memory Bank, the Memory Ball is absolutely secure.

Latest Oil Painting: "A Deep Breath" 9 x 12 oil on panel.
The painting is about being so overwhelmed that we can't breathe. The well has run dry but we push on until we collapse.
We need to learn to accept that we cannot meet all expectations and that is okay. We're only human.

#darkart #creepy

An oil painting of a large old tree with red leaves and a mottled trunk. Next to the tree is a man who is just staring off in the distance. The man is wearing a tunic and has long hair.

Starting a new series just for the fun of it. I love the "A is..." series, and here's my take with my monsters.

#darkart #creepy #horror #drippingskull #nightmare

Dark art poster of a hand that is dripping green acid to form into a skull. There is a note that says that A is for the acid dripping from your fingers. The skull and hand are semi-abstract.

From the necromar deck: Root Sliders are small wood-like people who build their homes under the base of large trees. Their community is connected from the adjoining roots of all the trees in the area.

Dougie @ ShadowMyths @shadowmyths.com · 3d

Hey all, I've been updating the online store with new items. For my collectors, I am pleased to present my four latest paintings. Each painting is $460 + shipping/tax and comes with a gothic wooden frame.

Check out their stories and buy at: shadowmythsdarkart.com/collections/...
#darkart #originals

A collage of four framed original oil paintings. The frames are black gothic wood and, from left to right, they depict the following scenes: Orange painting of a man holding his face in front of a fire that shows a building burning, 2) The portrait of an old woman with weird tentacle scars behind her ears, 3) Four faces and skulls floating in a see of dark red faces, and 4) a four-winged monster holding a glowing white ball.

From the necromar deck: The arrogance of the Dead Wood race knows no bounds. Yes. They are powerful sorcerers and illusionists. Yes, they are gifted in the ways of understanding how to effectively work with the Path.

#Repostober day 7 - This tarot-inspired design was something I did last year, when I started leaning a bit more into my heavy, line-intensive black and white style.

A burned up husk of a zombie, with a fire bursting out of its chest, and fire visible within the skull. It's also actively smoldering with smoke plumes wafting out of it.
