Check out my friend Trolldaeron a great contributor to Altcraft!

So heres some art, its a wireframe its far from done, I am basically trying to figure out these types of maps, especially when it comes to like populating these maps is hard. Texturing I feel is almost always the easiest part. Its the set up for maps like this. I wish there was a job for this haha

One of the reasons I didn't try to pursue my disabilities help in late college was because I hated being treated differently, and I would rather work harder than have someone talk down to me because of it.

Human art for human stories

Never in my wildest dreams... would the geekenders podcast have Ollie from Hololive. youtu.be/XPrVFzVRjE0?...

So heres a pic... i hope everyone else collects physical especially with streaming shows being so shit. Need to find a replacement blue ray player

A movie you've watched more than six times.

still fussing with this image, that's the cool thing about art no one can tell you to stop fussing with it.

Poor doggo just woke up.

Okay what would people like to see from me in terms of maps? I currently have an idea to redo the world of warcraft... essentially rebuild it with a bit more interesting geography Instead of mega mordors. Or do people want me to do more of my own fantasy maps?

On BlueSky you don't have to be an art god. You just have to find your freaks. And the lack of having a "Creme-de-la-Creme Posts ONLY" algorithm shoved down your throat makes it easy. Just try to make friends with people similar to you instead of reaching for Website/Community World Domination.

Now I am like... what would a giant octopus crab look like? Would have like giant beady eyes like a crab or sunken eyes? People going to read this like... why are you thinking of that? In the book mcs face this thing in a tunnel. So what does something that eats dragons look like?

youtu.be/Ag1o3koTLWM This isn't most peoples interactions with writing for too long? We all are like "Yeah mine is super epic." "Nah mine is a clown show cause i think I know writing then i re-read the last paragraph..."

Tell me what’s going on in your WIP right now using only a gif.

A4 : I am writing a book about a Refugee who goes to a magic school to escape persecution, who is drafted into a civil war while attending said school! I have a patreon that I am planning on posting updates to, maps, book stuff, worldbuilding.

I wonder if thats why I talk about Illustrator files and almost all of mine end with .ai but thats because its a standard.

As a writer i am biased. when I initially drew concepts of them. I always draw out the characters gear and weapons. And how they got them and where they came from. My MC wears a mask later on in life, not to hide their identity but more of out of respect. Story + Design are key to a great character

JINX 🩷💙

The current anti-woke narrative is exactly the same as the same moral panic of the 90s and 2000s. I remember when a bunch of pearl clutching people were angry about sex in games and games being more than just 'games'. I feel this is the exact same reaction. And the same uneducated that I remember.

We need true moral characters people who stand against their societies tbh.

Reposting with alt text: I did this just now and it worked.

"It was never you it was always going to be me." Yeah that hurts to read still. My beautiful boy ;.;

Just realized I completely forgot to post my isometric commission series on bluesky Here's the first one (and my favorite environment)

Reminds me of how I picture my magi, cloaks flurrying behind them wielding gauntlets of gems that spark with magic... Looking fucking great Fade. I am going to follow the hell out of this fic.

I was writing my book, I was writing a bit and I realized so many books and stories have laser into the sky.... what about just a pool? Like a pool that emanates kind of northern lights look in the sky? And when people see it they get super fearful and afraid that horrible nightmares are coming. 1/

Weird way to say people buy their games online now and you became an irrelevant tchotchke shop.

You know your not financial solvent when you know how to treat most illnesses and what medicines specifically to buy to solve them. Or when you get injured instead of a hospital you know exactly how to disinfect it and suture it..... Ugh. healthcare in this country sucks.

Well drop a map you are proud of or love to look at! #maps #fantasymaps #fantasy

You know one day I will get character art for my OCs. I don't know if thats a good way to promote my book. My goal is to basically make characters people love, and to write a story people enjoy. Maybe thats a bit ambitious before actually finishing my book?

Someone asked whose the artist of my profile pic? Obviously I can draw but not that well. Well a long time ago I got a work done by a friend in my RP group who worked on this villain RPG we were all making : www.deviantart.com/chalkyfeathers I miss em greatly! But heres their page :)
