Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.
www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...
the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

For the spooky times ahead - a guy you might find in a swamp.
a watercolour painting of a green swamp monster man with deepset black pits with glowing sparks in them for eyes, and tree roots wrapping up his torso, and his hands red and root-filled; painted on a white background.

Looks like old Eppy is going to need a new computer monitor.

In unrelated news, have you heard about Wolfspell? www.worldswithoutmaster.com/bazaar/wolfs... 🐺✨

You know! I bet if I sold five of these puppies, I could easily get that new monitor. 🤔

That's an interesting coincidence.
Wolfspell on a Trifold Album Jacket — Worlds Without Master
A prophecy told in your youth dictates that only fang and claw will rend your destiny, so you must be reborn as beast. The tabletop roleplaying game of adventurers who turn to wolf flesh to fulfill ...

Years ago I went through a phase of putting chicken legs on ... stuff?
Everything I've ever made has always been a bit absurd and self-indulgent.

For example: here is a breakfast radish on legs, which I made of wool and wire.
Photo of an object in front of a plain white background. The object is a soft-sculpture made of wool. It's a breakfast radish in red and white with white roots growing out of the bottom and big leafy dark green leaves growing from the top. It's also in a bird pose and standing on two bright orange chicken legs. It's an odd animal.

Another illustration from Pelgrane Press's Yellow King RPG! Featuring a couple PCs facing off with stony-eyed gargoyles. Watercolour and pencil crayon on paper.
A painting from a birds eye view of two late victorian adventurers on a balcony of notre dame at night, lit by a handheld lantern, and all around them stone gargoyles have come to life and approach as menacing shadows.

brazen-starflower-a6e.notion.site/2762dd7a28ff... I made this wrestling move database for my World Wide Wrestling RPG group. Visual examples, descriptions where warranted, notes and thoughts, etc. It could never be exhaustive but it's got a lot!

Wrestling Moves | Notion
Though some moves are marked “Finisher” because of their reputation, any move can be a finishing move if the wrestlers and commentary sell it and it’s consistently protected!

⚡️ megacarter.itch.io ⚡️

After a month of scanning and cleaning up sketches and research notes, I'm really excited to have this finished and look back on it as a pseudo journal at the time. And it's a nice way to celebrate 11 years of GODSLAVE!
