My absence has been very fruitful for one reason or another, but I return with a collab with the greatest artist I know, @pentragon-zei.bsky.social! I drew the base image, and penta hard carried with everything else. If you follow me and not them, well, I have no idea why but change that (please).

Why Kickstart an adventure? It's simple in my case. Art.

When you're writing something with an original creature, you need art to convey it efficiently to the audience. Since eldritch/cosmic horror need the uncertainly that originality brings, art is a must have for us.
