#MÖRKTOBER day 9: THORN

"A year ago Franglein planted roses at the base of Melvung’s monolith. They soak up the blood and the star stuff, and they sprout thorns as thick and black as a broken thumb. Once a week Franglein comes to harvest them."

MÖRKTOBER day 9: Thorn THE HARVESTER The stars fall, and Melvung swallows them, and as the dawn breaks he bleeds onto the ground. A year ago Franglein planted roses at the base of Melvung’s monolith. They soak up the blood and the star stuff, and they sprout thorns as thick and black as a broken thumb. Once a week Franglein comes to harvest them. She wears gloves lined with lead and wool. Even still, the thorns whisper to her in languages that predate the world. She sells them to anyone willing to pay; merceneries seeking weapons that wound the soul, occultists who grind them into powder, the dying who hope to draw one more breath before the void takes them. She knows where three other wizards are bound, and will tell you their locations for 500 silver each. Starblood thorn d4 damage. On a hit, Test Presence DR14 or hear the voices from beyond the stars and become distracted (−2 to all rolls) for d6 rounds. When ground and consumed, restores d6 HP but permanently reduces Strength by 1. The user’s blood glows faintly in darkness. Franglein the Harvester HP 7 Leather −2 Morale 8 Pruning blade d6 art: Illustration of a crooked and toothless hag creature wearing only a cloak and gloves. She smiles eerily and holds a small scythe in one hand an a wicker basket with roses in the other. Carries 2d6 thorns at any given time.

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 8: WIZARD

"His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding. He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to."

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se
WIZARD Album: Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other (2023) MELVUNG THE STARVED has been bound to the monolith for three years. The runes carved into the stone mirror the scars he carved into his own flesh in younger, more lucid days. Every night the stars fall. He catches them in his mouth, swallows them, lets them burn channels through his organs. Each contains a fragment of something vast that would force its way into the world. Each one he consumes is one less breach in the fragile flesh of reality. His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding. He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to. If freed against his will he screams silently, and the stars begin to fall faster. MELVUNG THE STARVED HP 14 No Armour Defence DR 16 (reality bends around him) Cannot attack while his hands are bound. Once per day: Vomit starlight in a 20’ cone (ignores armour, d10 damage, Test Presence DR14 or become obsessed with the voices behind the falling stars) Art shows an illustration of a wizard bound to a monolith as stars fall around him.

Timelapses continue to be a brilliant feature. Got some moiré with the halftone pattern in the video render, though.

Running guy. I think I’m getting the hang of the brushes in Procreate, but I’ve still got miles to go before I’m in comfortable territory.

#MÖRKTOBER day 7: SHARD

THE SHARD
"The crater is a wound in the fields north of Maw, still warm and steaming after weeks. At its heart, a shard of blade still smoking from its descent from the skies."

MÖRKTOBER day 7: Shard THE SHARD The crater is a wound in the fields north of Maw, still warm and steaming after weeks. At its heart, a shard of blade still smoking from its descent from the skies. Twelve feet of twisted star-metal, wide as a cart wheel, jagged at both ends. What weapon it once belonged to must have been meant for gods. Those who touch it report the same sensation, something vast and patient turning its attention toward them. By morning, blind eyes begin to open in their flesh. First in soft places, armpits, inner thighs, the hollow of the throat. Then everywhere. The local farmers have begun a cult. They sit around the crater’s edge at dusk, facing inward, letting the sickly light of the blade wash over them. They wait. Spend a night beside the shard Test Presence DR14. Success: Your blind eyes gain sight. You can see the seams in reality, the places where this world was poorly stitched together. Failure: Your blind eyes gain sight. You see them looking back. Permanent −d2 Presence. Illustration: A broken shard of a wavy sword, in a field of darkness dotted with crying eyes.

More Procreate experimentation. I have no idea what brushes to use or hot they work, but I’m getting there.

It’s just a very unusual feeling to be so lost and, well, bad at digital drawing when it’s literally the thing I do all day. Guess it’s just a matter of sticking to it and getting used to it.

I got an iPad to draw on, been thinking about it for a long time. The new device is what it is, but damn, changing from Photoshop and like… 25 years of refined workflow there to a whole new software is a daunting task. I’m so lost haha. But it’s getting there.

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 6: HUSK

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se
Isak Skarvlund makes his home in a brick building with no windows on the edge of the Stained Field. By day he oversees the production of the Scar Wine and the running of his estate. When night falls he retreats inside and bolts the doors tight. In the quiet secrecy of his home he sloughs off his human skin. What shuffles forth from within is a clattering opalite thing, many-jointed and many-mouthed, glittering with the light of dead stars. It came here to hunt Glopstepalof, but the frog hasn't been seen for centuries and the alien intelligence has learned more mundane, human concerns - budgets, and staff rostering, and ensuring the yields from the Scar remain steady. In its dreams it remembers what it meant to be a god, but those ancient feelings fade with the coming of the dawn. THE OPALITE HP 66 Morale - Armor -d4 (light twists around it) Prismatic Appendage d8 Refracted Gaze: All within sight test Presence DR16 or become transfixed. Transfixed creatures stand motionless, weeping rainbow tears, taking d6 damage per round as their organs slowly crystallise.

I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.
