Maia Rhymes with Leia

So @christoffvisscher and the alchemists at @cantripcandles outdid themselves. The @progcorefantasy Dark Age of Theer candle exceeded what I hoped it would be. When I sat down with Christoff he asked me what was the story of the candle that I wanted to have. I told him it’s that moment before the party heads out of the mountains. They just finished breakfast. They doused the fire. The Ranger has one last pipe smoke and she’s looking out at the mist among the trees on the Cool overcast day. The smell of firesmoke, wet earth, and pipe weed. That moment before they load the horses up to venture ahead on the adventure. There’s comfort and anticipation. Both nostalgia and the promise of something new. ProgCore. I wanted the label to evoke those tri-tone old-school modules from the early 80s. And @igniheart knew the assignment. so this candle has been made exclusively for our project and will be available to backers, and don’t worry if you didn’t add it on originally you will be able to during fulfillment. With notes of spruce, tobacco, firewood, our and dirt, it is both cool and warm at the same time. I can’t wait for this to ignite your senses and your imagination. Lighting up your game table.

BEHOLD! Cover reveal! We have in our hands, the fruit of two years of labor and love! Feast your eyes upon the @progcorefantasy : Dark Age of Theer book! This is the galley copy of the @gary.con numbered special edition that will be available next weekend only at Garycon in Lake Geneva. This beefy tome is bursting with tons of art, insight, stories and a new TTRPG world to@explore . We have put so much passion into this project and we are just getting warmed up. But we thought you would like to see what’s been cooking. A little tease. Thanks to everybody who backed the Kickstarter and supported all these amazing independent writers and artists that made this possible. After Garycon we will be working hard to get the Kickstarter run into your hands.

Nash Wells - one of my favourite Wells variants (Flash TV)! All of his gadgets were fun to draw! Have I drawn all the Wells? Hmmm, not quite, but I have quite a few. I may post more, who knows? He is played by the always excellent #tomcavanagh on #theflash⚡️ #dcart #fanart #fanartist

I semi recently binge watched the entirety of the Flash tv series when I was finishing some work…so good! Where was I when this was on?! I love all the Wells characters, and think about how fun is it for one dude to play all those characters! The Wellsverse predates the Lokiverse?! I had no idea. Loved the same actor in “Ed” a while back too. #theflash⚡️ #flashcw #reverseflash #tomcavanagh

Whoa…three days posting in a row?! Yes! I’m more of a Space Marine person, but Squigs are cool. This is a bomb squig to be precise…nasty little guys. Bitey. Explosive. And WAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!! #warhammer #warhammer_40k #orks40k #squig

You didn’t think I would post something 2 days in a row didja?! I did this a while ago, Kafka from Kaiju no 8. I sort of hate the lightning,but the skull is cool, right? #kaijuno8 #fanart #kafkahibino

Silksong was released recently, and I love the spooky cute vibe of it, Hornet is very cool. I’m still terrible at these games, but it’s okay, I have fun! #hollowknight #silksong #indiedeveloper #fanart #indiegames

I like how The Knight looks when they do this move, Howling Wraiths or Abyss Scream. This will probably end up as a charm or something like that :). #hollowknight #silksong #videogames #teamcherry

Even if a character’s design is very simple, I like to still put in my best effort. Here’s The Knight from Hollow Knight 🙂 I suck at this game soooo badly, but I love the vibe of it, it’s a bit eerie. #hollowknight #silksong #videogames
