"The feast"
I'm not happy with the hierarchy in the composition but cest la vie, as I have about 45 illustrations left for this book.

I was doodling one of the many magical items for Duginthroat Divided and didn't notice how much it looked like a John Pickord miniature sculpt. I'm not changing it. I think the ogre-ish qualities made the face more "likeable".

Duginthroat Divided , my dungeon adventure for OSE; is in its last two days of crowdfunfing. It's not that flashy, but we got a solid adventure and realistic stretch goals you can help us reach! Back it before the campaign ends and if you're already a backer, pick up some riso prints! (Link in bio)

I had a kernel idea a while ago that @carrion-comfort.com is taking on & elevating tremendously

They just brought @danielharila.bsky.social on to do the art for what I hope will be a tool that makes one of my favorite narrative procedures a standard of play for your table.

The Lonely Chapel rests on a tooth of rock between the Inner and Outer Keep. The vicious Crow-Crones have inhabited the belltower, but somehow the drunken priest remains unharmed.
