This friday I was finally able to unveil the portraits I did for our Lancer squad, so now I can share them publicly! Team Convergence, reporting from Hercynia 🫡 (Please be mindful of spoilers for No Room for a Wallflower in the comments, we are still at the beginning!) #art #lancerRPG #ttrpg

an array of portraits for a Lancer team called Convergence.
From left to right:
- Haywire, a well-dressed older gentlement, with white hair and a well groomed beard, and golden accent jewelry visible.
- Stray, a man with a wolf cut and a nonchalant charm to him. He smokes, has a piercings on his lip and a black strap on his nose. His bomber jacket is open, revealing his chest underneath with two necklaces from which hange bits of metal.
- Ashenblood, a pale looking character in a tight fullbody suit with patterns following anatomical shapes, with dark red and brass accents. a dangling hoop hangs from his left ear. His dark green hair is tied in a ponytail, we can see an undercut. His sniper rfle pokes from behind his right shoulder. On his left should is a brass pauldron with engraved symbols.
- Crusader, a man in his late 30s, he's removing his helmet. He wears a keffiyeh around his neck, and his armor looks low-tech and worn. His face is covered in grease marks from mechanic oil.

Thanks!! I've reread it recently and found an even deeper appreciation for it than I had before... So it's making its way into my art This Animage exhibition Nausicaä outfit was on the moodboard so you have a keen eye (expected nothing less tbh) I especially rly love the patterning on the jacket. 🙂‍↕️

My Lancer, Letho! Started playing him friday, very excited to play more... #art #lancer

a drawing of a lancer character, from the knees up. he's wearing a dark marroon, tight fitting suit with dark red and dull bronze detailing. on his left shoulder is a pauldron, a cape hanging from it at the back. his left arm is a skeletal prosthetic from half the upper arm down. The little skin we see is pallid and sallow, his green hair is tied into a ponytail. Next to him is a drone and on his back sits a sniper rifle.

the same drawing, whosing how his cape fastens to the pauldron when closed

I've added the new Guts print to my online store, and lowered the price of basically everything. I'd love to make some new designs so I aim to sell off most of my current stock!! Lots of designs won't be printed again. 🌞 I've also resumed shipping to the US 🫡 krzchn.sumupstore.com

Success! First time making my own prints with my new printer, feels awesome. :> I'll have these tomorrow (alongside my usual stock) at FreePlayCity (www.instagram.com/freeplaycity/) a local arcade that's organizing an artist alley for the first time! :> #art #berserk

new business cards just dropped! they always get a lot of comments whenever i table :> i get special pleasure from making my characters feature on some of those since i don't usually sell prints of them!

picture of all my business card designs laid out.

i think you're being very generous. i rly want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this bit of 'melted' architecture in particular screams genAI to me. really bums me out.

i've updated the guide today to include a very neat tool @zerojt.bsky.social was cool enough to create and share! simply pick your colours/options and it generates a .css file to replace the default one. perfect for users that would rather not have to go edit the variables themselves into the code!

c ⁘ kreuzchen@krzchn· Jun 6

looked a little into it and it seems this would be the way to do it. but if i understood correctly that feature is only available with a business plan (assuming that's a paid one, not sure you have that!) Sorry i can't help more, hopefully someone else would be able to chime in :(

screenshot of a squarespace instruction paragraph to inject code. text read: Site-Wide Footer Code Injection

Found at Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer. Code added here is inserted just before the closing </body> tag on every page. This is the correct location for scripts that do not need to run until the page content has loaded, live chat widgets, social media embeds, conversion tracking pixels, and performance-monitoring scripts.

it might be that squarespace cannot find FontAwesome's webfonts files - I set up the template to host them yourself. you could try, if you can, adding this line in the head section of the html file (i will put it in the alt text so you can copy it easily.)

screenshot of html code - here is the line to copy, which is highlighted on the picture:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/7.0.1/css/all.min.css">

what it does: the template is set up in such a way that FontAwesome looks for the library file in the src folder. this replacement line uses a library file that is hosted online (however it is an older version of FontAwesome, so it might be missing some icons!)

in light of the linktree ai shenanigans, i've started to create a digital card template that i'll share for free bc i think it's smth easy to do with minimal html/css. it'll also be customizable and i'll explain how to host it yourself for free on neocities. :) this is what it looks like now!

the next thing i plan to figure out is an influence map page, mimicking this foxorian template that's been around for years. i want to code it so i only have to input a picture, artist name and weight and it will create the layout automatically. ambitious for me! plasticshards.studio/influence-ma...

website update is live :> most of it is not visible to visitors since it was mostly backend work...! but to make it worth your while i've also added some pieces from this year so far in the 2026 gallery. some of these hadn't been shared on socials - not out of spite but bc i was lazy 🌞 krzchn.net

we're approaching the end of the current arc in our campaign! will miss: the snowy landscapes won't miss: having to figure out how to end a war that lasted for centuries between two elven people treating myself to some personal art while in the jobhunting mines feels like a luxury... :') #art

digital painting of a snowy landscape with 5 characters exploring it.
left to right, top to bottom: Miyu, oni warrior/darkblade; her brother Ryoga, oni guardian/symbolist; Tojiro, human spiritist; Kadavan, human strategist; Celt'Ehus, sha'hn (elven) warrior.
Kadavan is currently inspecting a giant raven feather on the snowy ground in front of him; Celt is worryingly scanning the skies above, looking for its owner. Ryoga and Tojiro are chatting in the background; and Miyu is clearly just bored, waiting for the party to keep going.

my partner gifted me a 15th century groschen from the Kuttenberg area for my birthday yesterday! 🌞 i was really surprised at how thin it is, so different from any coin i've ever seen.

picture of a hand holding a prague groschen from around the Kuttenberg area of in the 15th century. this was gifted as a reference to the video game serie Kingdom Come Deliverance, as the games takes place in 15th century bohemia and use groschens as in game currency.
