A poster with a character collage for the playable characters in The Spirit in the Door. here we see inspiration for the character Pehel'he, a gar. Garren are lizardfolk and we see a poshly dressed dark portrait on the left where a gar wears an amulet-adorned chain across his face. On the right is part of an illustration showing a gar leaning on his knees with the elbows, a short-sleeved coat over his shoulders and the long crested tail curled up as it comes down his seat.

A poster with a character collage for the playable characters in The Spirit in the Door. This poster shows dwarves, incidentally both women, who have very very long and colourful hair. A large portrait on the left shows a dwarf with Leia-like knots and wearing a tasseled vest. A smaller character image to the bottom right shows a sqautting woman with long, bound strands, wearing a one-strap top that shows the typical coloured spots dwarves have running down their arms. At top right sits the game title.

#tsitd #miat #geniusloci #textadventure #indiegames #itchio #indiedev #warriorwoman
A poster with a character collage for the playable characters in The Spirit in the Door. This is for Giwannijaslakar, a beja, dark-skinned four-eyed people. The poster shows a few beja, not necessairly the PC. The traditional costume of her culture is at top left, with lots of pelts and tassels and altogether Native American inspired. Bottom left is a portrait with braids and posh turquoise-gold clothes. the largest image on the right shows a bard with fancy hat and a cat-sized monkey on her shoulder, wearing an outfit of painted pelts and many necklaces.

Vol2 for self-taught artists goes out to the shoppers who hope the 24 colours watercolour box will make their art more awesome. Don't juggle 10 balls before 3 make sense though :)

I love #scifi so much. The bending of physics a little less, especially when there are other means to get the same. #Astrophysics is where smartypants form an #ourobouros konga line of neverending pop knowledge.

So you need art for your game?

This way guarantees the worst possible experience, from hiring to deadline.

I wrote from an artists' perspective. Every project I ever quit, or that rained out did at least 1 of these.

New #GeniusLoci article!

The greatest #spell relic ever created (or perhaps it's a spirit relic after all?) are the cliffs and stairs leading up at Grandrock's southern border. Surrounded by #mystery!

A fantasy landscape illustration dominated by an enormous stairscase leading up a high cliff. The text below speculates about its origin: Spell relic? Leftover from a devastating spirit attack? Too useful to think about? What do you think?

A little something for autumn now getting cold and dark: A #storytelling #game about an imaginary #quilt (roll it). Free: ranarh.itch.io/campfire-quilt

Wrote this between projects. I'd love to hear what you come up with about the quilt tiles with the dragon 🐉 and the kite 🪁

#indiegames #cosygames
A game title image with the header Campfire Quilt, made up to look as if the letters were made from uneven, autumn-coloured quilt patchwork. The subtitle says A cosy storytelling game. The background fades into a plain colour holding the info that this game is for free on ranarh.itch.io

#Shapeshifting is the most feared #supernatural ability, after the Splinter War tore the world apart, instigated by, of course, shapeshifters.

With post-jam polish done, "The Final Deed" is now playable as intended, and finally boasts its glorious music!
A point&click #adventure with #ghosts, and dare I say it, the coolest #minigame I made. Read the #postmortem: ranarh.itch.io/the-final-de...

Artifacts are REALLY easy to come by because they literally ar ein every household. The GOOD ones though are much trickier and have a mind of their own.

First things first, right? So instead of polishing the platform spawning to perfection in The Moon my Destination, I started work on the intro. Nailed the mood though!

Happy jetlag day! I announce 2 new scenarios for Closed Mondays: Grimm Forest (escape fairytale villains) and Closed Sundays (deliver the mail. Seriously)

#horrorttrpg #indiegames #rollenspiel #closedmondays #miat #itchio #adventuremodule
Cover image of the adventure modue Closed Sundays for Closed Mondays (I am aware of the pun, it's intentional). The cover show s a crumpled old envelope with the title in old-timey font, two language markers for German and English and the subtitle: "A Closed Mondays adventure at the mail office". But in German. The store image for Grimm Forest shows the title at bottom and the two subheaders above: A Closed Mondays horror scenario, and EVERYONE WANTS TO EAT YOU, giving away the core of the adventure. The image is a dark muted green with elaborate puke gold deco rim of bars and leaves.

I feel like I never do art anymore!
One of several #castles, loosely painted in #acrylics on A4 paper. I used palette knives for the #sky and sculpting scrapers for the windows to achieve straight lines and even rectangles.

#fantasyart #artistsofbluesky #illustration #romantic #dawn #sketch
A fantasy castle or city, inspired by arabian nights with tall thin towers. it is loosely painted with an abstract, bright and pink sky.
