here's all three old-school homages @louiems.bsky.social and I did until now for Micexplorers.

collage with three adventuring illustrations protagonized by mouse adventurers: two mice plucking a jewel eye from a big idol statue, two mice threading a pip treasure cave looking at a magic glowing acorn and one rider mouse facing fire and flying snakes.

"Golden Solis"
Basking in the final lingering moments of sun, Ilioxirin glows softly from the energy collected that day, saying farewell to the fire until morning.
Another piece from 2025 that I'm just now posting.

QRP with something watery 💧
A party of six pirates, captain included, stand atop a makeshift raft, doing their best to paddle as fast as possible while undead figures rise from the water, attempting to grab them and possibly drown them. The water is deep and green, and a couple of skull sculptures are seen around.

Congrats: You are sent to the bug planet.
A guy falling through a void into a portal. He is smiling. He does not realize he is about to be sent to planet bug. The text reads: Congrats! You are being sent to the bug planet! Good thing you checked to see if there were any injuries or deaths related to this portal on SaferProducts.gov.

I'm sharing this again.

The comment section is the most wholesome thing I've seen on the internet in a while.

It's so good! Also, puppeteers who worked on this share behind the scenes trivia in there!

For more than a hundred centuries, the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne. The master of mankind by the will of the gods. A rotting carcass writhing with power, the Carrion Lord for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day.

Fun note: although there have been short stories, comics, and even a movie featuring Kane, this is the first-ever novel starring the character!

This is the biggest FU to AI art that #WotC could have done.

This is so joyful and amazing. I love it so much for so many reasons.

Thank you #WotCStaff and the Jim Henson Company for making this.

Proud to finally present Di's corrupted appearance! I'm so happy with his redesign. In the spirit of my 2026 goals, I'm not going to make the third ref (his "typical" appearance). Instead, I'll depict it in the form of drawings. Hope you enjoy this ref series!
