We can do this!!

I've seen posts from people all over the world wanting to punish the USA by not buying products developed, manufactured, or providing profit to American companies. I can understand that, especially when it comes to the corporate oligarchy. However,... 🧵1/2

I'll probably make a hundred of these, then pick the best (and most suitable) half of them when the book is ready for layout. At the moment, I'm just worldbuilding and establishing a vibe. #TTRPG #RPG

After and Before... I don't know if I'm pretty enough to be included in the images for my own game. However, the game isn't about being pretty, it's about being yourself and trying to make a difference regardless of what people think of you.

I'm liking the way this #monochrome #linework series is turning out. I might do a few more of them.

I don't like selfies. But I figured I'd run one through the same filters and photomanipulations I've been using on a bunch of my recent images. I'm kinda content with it. I don't think I'm ready to put unfiltered photos online any time soon. Not pretty...just me. Might delete it later.

Testing... ...is anyone seeing this?

I was going to try writing a haiku every day... that didn't work did it?

I'd forgotten about this...

Summer air on fire, Thunderstorms are predicted, Smoke comes from the west. #haikufeels

January is already getting away from me. I hope I can get some good out of this year.

The energy I'm bringing into 2025.

In the game I'm thinking about, combat might be a thing in the waking world, but if it is a thing then the game risks immediately ending. If the monsters of the dreaming world have breached into our reality, things are bad. A bit like Cthulhu Dark, lethal... in the Dreamlands, things are different.

What is normal life? What bits of normal life might make interesting elements to add into stories? I think there can be some interest in the everyday elements of the world? Do other people feel the same? #art #illustration #monochrome #gamedesign

The core idea is a journalling game in two parts. A waking phase and a dreaming phase. During times awake, the characters start by living normal lives, when asleep they defend the world from nightmares. Gradually the two phases overlap and things get "strange". #TTRPG #RPGs

I figure that a good game, or story, should have a range of characters that different people have a chance to identify with. So I'm trying to make a game with the types of characters that don't often appear in other games. If folks can't identify over there, maybe they can identify here. #TTRPG #RPG

@suhlabs.com, thankyou for sharing my art

@gerive.bsky.social, thankyou for sharing my art

I'm trying to get a decent range of characters in this selection, while maintaining a particular vibe. Like most art, there's a balancing act of combining inspirations, working to create something new, and trying to remain true to your vision. #art #illustration #monochrome #Photoshop

Do you ever want to design a game in a specific genre, but not want to look at existing games in that genre because they might pollute your ideas? 1/2

Yeah, this new illustration style seems to be working. It's just a case of finding the right combinations of stock imagery and photos I've taken. #art #illustration #monochrome #photoshop

Testing a new illustration style, combining stock photography, my own photographs, and a range of Photoshop techniques to produce something that looks a visually interesting and hopefully a bit distinct. Still refining the process at this stage. #Art #Illustration #Photoshop

I have a game that was tested this week. I can't wait to hear the feedback.
