I'm a visual artist drawing monsters and maps and other peculiar things to create worlds of endless adventure. Hand-drawn ink art. No AI. No NFT. 🇸🇪 https://linktr.ee/pathspeculiar

One of my older illustrations - the gate to Dol Sceptar - the tower-grave stronghold of the death knight sect. ☠️

Empathy is the shield against injustice. Be proud of your bleeding heart and protect those in need.

Guy messages me out of the blue with ai slop, expecting ... I dunno, praise? Lies about it being his own work. Demands evidence when I call him out. Accuses me of harassment when I point out the artifacts. Then - yeah you guessed it - removes the images and blocks me.

The secret to playing a fighter in D&D is about getting the right equipment. ⚔️

Going through and re-scanning old drawings and found this old plate armor. Thought I’d share it.

People on Facebook telling me dwarves don’t make or use swords and I’m like dude have you ever read Tolkien? Ever heard of Orcrist? Narsil? No?

This makes me so sad.

Or ”SAD!”, as the POTUS they elected would say.

I love that, thanks! ☺️

Trying to power through this drawing. I don’t find it particularly enjoyable to draw, if I’m being honest, but sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and do it. Hopefully the end result will be worth it. Wrist hurt like a mfer though 😖

The forced commercial breaks on instagram is the best cure for scrolling I’ve ever seen.
