Spent far too long rendering the hands and had no time to think about a decent layout so I wasn't sure. Very much appreciate the kind words

#Mörktober 8 - Wizard - Self Prognostication

Once per day you can commune with a version of yourself from the not too distant future. The medium the message appears as is your disembodied ghostly hands.

#Mörktober 7 - Shard - Shard en Froid

A shard of black glass encased in permafrost.

This pendant protects the wearer from cold, shifting it to anyone nearby. Useless to those that travel alone.

Black and white illustration of a pendant. The pendant is made of a long, vertical shard of black glass. Surrounding the middle part, leaving the top and bottom of the glass to poke out, is a layer of permafrost made to look also like a jewel. Both are hanging from a chain.

One thing I’ve come to realise this morning - It’s incredibly difficult to give a horse a crazed face and have it not look like a cheap imitation of the white horse of lowvale. Life after @thebreadwyrm.bsky.social 😔 (good thing)

An illustration from Tania Herrero’s the white horse of lowvale depicting a crazed horse with sharp, carnivore-esque teeth.

Away from the desk and finding layout impossible on a tablet. After looking back at today‘s entry I had to make some edits, consider this one the final version.

drmhigginson @drmhigginson.bsky.social · 3d

#Mörktober 5 - Stain - Jacque the Hack
Butcher of all trades

Offers any service that requires a blade and many more. Probably avoids words with Bs and Ps.

A grainy black and white illustration of a butcher staring menacingly at the viewer, cleaver and hacksaw in hand. The text details the various grim services they offer and the price for each.

Howl Hamlet. A village sullied by a curse preventing its inhabitants from going out during day.

Had a crack at some writing today to keep it interesting, which I usually shy away from, and am very pleased with the idea.
Feel like this could easily be expanded into a little module.

Days 1, 2 and 3 of #morktober : Frog, Maw and Daggers! It's fun to try to match the MorkBorg vibe somewhat.

The Mörk Borg vibe is such a fun one to make for! Specific enough to work toward, open enough to get real creative.
You've done some top illustrations so far.

I love game jams and prompt-based efforts like #Morktober - people get out there and just make - very little expectation, not driven by polish and crowdfunding.
In the case of Mork Borg this month, a collective 100s of hours are about to drop loads of goodies onto your game tables!
that's hip

During twilight hours, they Shreekmaws prey on those that choose excess and blame over reconciling misery; the drunkard, the abuser, the self-indulgent decadent.
They consume the avoided pain, screaming it back into the night.
