He'd have my vote, if I had one to give in this election.

I fought a false hydra for the first time playing D&D today. It was oddly forgettable...

“Hell Creek Ambush” I went with blaster bolts and dinosaurs (well, dinosaurian alien megafauna) for the July #SciFanSat cover art I made for the new issue coming out this Saturday. Why? Because I grew up loving Star Wars and tyrannosaurs, that’s why! #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy

An illustration of a woman riding a saddled tyrannosaurian alien beast, firing one of her two drawn energy blaster pistols. She yells as her mount roars and slides sideways down a hillside, creating a cloud of dust in a sparse arid woodland amid buttes and bluffs.

Got my "Legend in the Mist" TTRPG print copy books in the mail today. :-) Nice hardcover core books and a softcover supplement. Full color pages in all with tons of great art. Well worth the wait. I've been using the LitM rules to run games of "Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying" since January.

Happy 250th birthday, America. You’re not looking so good, so here is your precognitive reality check from a 42-year-old comic book speaking truth to power. I agree with the Captain. We are our substance, not our symbols. Full quote and citation in the image alt text.

Listen to me -- all of you out there! You were told by this man -- your hero -- that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people -- that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was -- how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America! Well, I say America is nothing!! Without its ideals -- its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth!

I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different than them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing! And the only reason you're not less than nothing -- is that it's still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!

My wife snapped this picture of our cat Isis contentedly greeting the morning beside her today.

A seal-point Siamese cat in a "loafing" sitting position on a couch armrest. Her eyes are squint contentedly facing a window with soft morning light.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Jun 25

“Opposites Attract” I wanted to make something fantastically dramatic yet soft for my June #SciFanSat cover art, so I focused on an emotional sort of “First Contact” that still fits the theme of the issue coming out this Saturday. #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy

An illustration of a young man and woman in their late teens, floating in the dark air with smoke. Their hands are clasped, bolts of neon energy and sparks flowing from the contact as they gaze enamored into each other’s eyes.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Jun 18

“Gentle Meeting” Lupine season in Maine inspired this art by me for June’s CONTACT themed #SciFanSat issue. :-) Authors, submissions are due tonight by 11:59 pm EST for the new issue next Saturday. Details are at scifansat.com/landing.html! #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

My fluffy cat Nephthys, just chilling beside my plastic dinosaur and ancient meteorite as she begrudgingly acquiesced to my wife's desire to take her photograph.

A fluffy seal point cat, loafing except for one extended foreleg, beside a plastic t-rex and meteorite.

An illustration of a phantasmal teenage girl wearing a 19th century dress. She emits ghostly light and ectoplasm, floating and screaming in a dark room above an open book. Two other teenage girls in modern clothing sitting in the foreground on the floor to either side of the book look up at her in shock, their backs to the viewer.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Jun 2

“Paronel” RPG character art I made for a fellow player in a Shadowdark campaign. Paronel is an amnesiac sinner sent to hell for reasons unknown. A former(?) cannibal out of necessity, she made a heel-face turn to save new friends Grimm and Rina. Thereafter she discovered a talent for witchcraft.

A fantasy illustration of a haggard, older teen girl with a crew-cut and piercing stare gazing at the viewer. She wears a ragged long cloak over a tattered chemise.

“The Rescue” My May #SciFanSat cover art for our RESCUE themed issue coming out this Saturday. Remember when robots and artificial intelligence could be a friend and force for good? I do. And I believe that altruistic dream will survive and thrive long past the pessimism of our current age.

A science fiction illustration of a humanoid robot holding a toddler safe in their arms as rubble burns behind them in a firestorm.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 26

“Rina” Character and token art I made of my wife’s Shadowdark RPG character Rina; a former city guard who was manipulated into secretly becoming a servant of the Elder Ooze, Mugdulblub. She’s not very committed to the evil warlock gig, and is the nicest, most lawful cultist you’ll ever meet.

A fantasy illustration of a hooded, strong-jawed mysterious woman looking at the viewer. She has long, dark curly hair and wears a broad circlet.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 21

A science-fiction, semi-superheroic illustration depicting a preadolescent girl straining as an old pickup truck slams into her back. The girl’s hair is thrown forward from the impact, but she seems otherwise unharmed as she lifts the front of the vehicle and brings it to a stop. In the foreground there is a frightened housecat that has been saved from being hit.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 19

“Grimm” Art I made of Grimm; a Shadowdark RPG character I rolled up randomly and have been playing/portraying for 3 months now. A pun-cracking, formerly marooned shipwreck survivor and enslaved pit-fighter, he’s currently stranded in Hell through no fault of his own and looking for a way home.

A fantasy illustration of a muscular, mohawked man with a stubbly beard and many scars. He’s smiling or smirking as he gazes at the viewer.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 14

“I’m Here to Rescue You” Art by me for May’s upcoming #SciFanSat issue and its theme of RESCUE! Writers, 7 days remain until submissions are due on May 21st. Full details are on our landing page at scifansat.com/landing.html! #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

A fantasy illustration of a surprised, roguish woman holding onto a rope while upside-down half inside a tall tower window. She’s speaking to an equally surprised prince as a rope for his escape dangles inside beside her.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 12

“Dorhiss, Postmistress of Easthaven” I improvised a gravelly smoker’s voice for this bespectacled little-old dragonborn lady NPC as a one-off joke in a D&D game. The dungeon master and group loved it so much they made her my comedic side-character! Then I had fun illustrating this sassy goofball.

A fantasy illustration of a little-old dragon lady in a V-neck sweater. She’s wearing spectacles with eyeglass chains attached, which are frequently handy when you lack external ears.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 7

A science fiction illustration of a flying saucer style UFO highlighted by a sunny break in gloomy storm clouds. Beach and water are beneath it, and a lone distant figure standing on a sandbar spit.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· May 5

“Dustette” RPG art I made of gothy, gloomy Dustette; a simple feather duster dipped in the sacred blood of a god by unscrupulous devils to create a young woman sprung fully adult and into servitude within their demonic palace. Now free, she’s become a priestess of the god whose essence created her.

A fantasy illustration of a gothy young woman in plate armor with both head feathers and hair, betraying her origins as a feather duster transformed into a humanlike form to serve as a maid.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Apr 30

“Fairy Rescue” Art by me for May’s upcoming #SciFanSat issue and its theme of RESCUE! Writers, 21 days remain until submissions are due on May 21st. Full details available at scifansat.com/landing.html! #SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

A fantasy illustration of a flying winged fairy woman. She is placing an ornate key almost as big as she is into the keyhole of a locked wooden door that looms like a wall before her.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Apr 28

“Milkchild” When blue cheese is splattered by the blood of a god, a young woman springs forth adult from the union! Art I made of the affable and courageous Milkchild; a mix of human, divine, and dairy product who is a delightfully strange and fun character I play in a Shadowdark RPG campaign.

A fantasy illustration of a humanlike young woman with skin bearing the aspects of blue cheese.

Jason H. Abbott@jason-h-abbott· Apr 23

“Fallen Star Path” My April #SciFanSat cover art for our EARTH themed issue coming out this Saturday. I made this one back in August of 2024 trying out a mix of mid-century modern and Pixar art styles. I, of course, had to add the creeping cosmic to it, but I still love the piece.
