Back to Discworld!
Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors, and Granny Weatherwax is one of my favourite characters of Discworld, so this is going to be fun!!

‘D’you think maybe we ought to have taught her everything we know?’
‘It’d take too long.’
‘Yeah, right.’

I really need to pick up my camera, my macro lenses, and get back to taking some nice photos. Until then... well, my phone isn't that bad... 😅

That question you have when your difficulties are invisible to others...

Everytime it's interesting to dive into the character's story while making the concept. Especially if it's something dark and fantasy-like

I'm starting to learn Blender for work! Started with the "Blender 4 for Absolute Beginners" tutorial by Grant Abbitt. It was quite fun and a great intro point.

This was the first map I ever drew - the map of the Elui Arianar, the world I created for my fairytale/fantasy book.

Just got my copy of Lunar Skyline by Dead Alive Games and everything looks so shiny and amazing!
With game design by Charlie McCarron, art by Alex Pei and Maria Zvonkova and graphic design by me.
It's a priviledge to work with such amazing and talented teams to bring beautiful and fun games to life.

What's your favourite season to walk on the woods? I especially like Spring and Autumn.

She hugged me to her.
“Everything is dead!” I screamed, curling up. “Everyone is dead!”

Sci-Fi meets tribal African culture is the fusion I didn't know I needed.

...it seems they are just spooky tales. I mean, what could possibly go wrong in such an enjoyable forest trail like this? Right? Right?...

The old hag creates the most scary stories to make sure that no one goes to the forest south of the river. And the villagers ended up believing them. I mean, people who enter the forest rarely return. But for the travellers that come and go from Airadur constantly...

This has been very rare in the last years, but I'm opening some slots for fantasy map commissions.
There has been a significant reduction of work from my major client, and it is becoming problematic financially. I'm also making a discount in my normal price.

This version is not very different from the original, but having this map with the portal active & inactive is so cool!!
Granted, if you are playing at the table, changing maps may not be very practical, but if you are using a virtual tabletop platform it can really make your game more interesting.
