There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds. a fantasy map illustration depicting a continent with a bigger mainland and a large island to the west of it. the biomes go from snowy mountains, a vast wetland, grasslands with many hills. the prevalent features here is that it is crossed by many rivers in all directions and it is surrounded by a the shades of a vast submarine landscape that where part of this land before a big flood catastrophe. colourful drawing of an island crossed by a mountain range, rivers and forests scattered around. a planar map in the shape of a compass rose. The direction arrows are the four classical elemental planes with the material plane in the centre and several layers of other planes of existence around it.

In Mausantara, forests are not safe places. Even village bamboo thickets have spirits that are to be feared and placated. The upshot of this is that most people only visit neighbouring villages a few times in their lives.

Only six more backers needed.

The PCs unfortunately live in the foothills of the neighbouring mountain. However, this youthful and gregarious naga krakatua knows the secret of this terrifying being because it befriended it soon after its arrival several decades ago. But she lives on the other side of the map.

This piece by @salvaterra.bsky.social is being used to represent a fierce entity believed to live near the summit of Gunung Manglayang, (my home is on its foothills). Entry into its hex is virtually a guaranteed TPK.

Here are some of my recent pen pieces and some (optional) tags for @canuckuma.bsky.social @runningcritter.bsky.social @kvacm.bsky.social @michalputo.art @iromonik.bsky.social @inkgrid.bsky.social @cuarsith.bsky.social
Full page pen drawing of a figure with a chain mail like hood draped over their head the flows into robes accented with tusks over the shoulder and holding an orb between their hands, one over, one under with a glowing white energy around a black, pupil like sphere. Flanking at a distance to either side are two others with the furthest back on the left having 3 horizontal, rectangular extensions off the headdress. Behind the one on the right is a large, ancient stone structure with black panels set into it where white, ghostly, humanoid and near-humanoid figures are visible, while branching like structures fill the upper part of the page where the sky would be, blotting out the starscape. On the left diamond shaped craft hang in the air while the top of structures emerge from a fog, including a large T shaped structure. Pen drawing of an alien covered in coral looking bio-mechanical growths and a fogged visor only showing eyes with tentacle like limbs 'crab-walking' towards the left. Its companion is folded up in a corner among the curved walls that are covered in alien machinery that has organic like textures that look carved or inscribed. Behind the moving alien is a large oval window showing a star scape in deep space. Pen drawing of a large, vaguely humanoid figure with a simple disc for a face surrounded by a thick oval halo while two organic limbs rise from behind it's shoulders while it opens up wings that reveal the void of space with stars as they arc around it's body that seems to be made up of several other figures and forms as if a portal. In front of this are several figures in poses suggesting that they are worshipping this scene while all around are strange ancient cathedral looking ruins with ancient Egyptian style textures and patterns. Pen drawing of a humanoid with a void and a single star-like pin point of light in the center. Their unclothed but low definition body flows down into a number of organic shapes and semi-human faces that make up the overgrown mass of eyes, and root like structures. Up the sides it flows up into aged bone and metal structures that eventually becomes a set of highly complex technological structures that radiate outward from a marble like halo that surrounds the head.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer. Work-In-Progress of a 18”x24” oil painting showing a foggy forest “Obsidian Peaks”, an 18”x24” oil painting showing a dark foreboding sky and black-blue mountains. A brief opening in the clouds shows the blue sky above, shining down on a valley teeming with forests. 18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest.

Oldie from 2019 - Aria [OC] #Ocs #art
Digital art Portrait of my OC, Aria. Aaria is a teen/young adult Asian t-girl. She has a have long, wavy white hair with pink/blue strands. Her skin is pale (in a way that isnt realistic, more like pearly looking) and freckled on the left side of her face; Her right eye is teal and human looking, and the left is silver, pupil-less and fantasy, magical looking. Aria is looking at us with a soft smile. She's wearing a fantasy outfit, a black, see-through shirt with long sleeves with golden stars on it, a black vest with golden swirly embroideries and a bow tie, made with long, thing black ribbon with gold edges. She's wearing round glasses with gold, thin frames. Aria is a humanoid gryphon, so there's wing-like feathers coming from the sides of her head, like an owl's "ears", and the feathers are soft and white.
