After dungeons, mythic lands, mecha and interstellar journey, where would Bastionland go next? The answer is obvious. It is back to the kitchen! (to be clear, this is just a joke I thought about when I found this picture. The image is photoshopped)

A low-quality photo of the front of 'Odd Burger' restaurant with paper-plastered windows; barely visible bicycle is on the left side of the picture and what is likely a tree on the right side of the picture. 'Into the..." text photoshopped on the top of the sign, so the whole thing reads as 'Into the Odd Burger', which is a joke.

I think they have the wrong picture of her. Here, I found a proper one.

Photoshopped image of J. Rowling with Voldemort's nose which fits her surprizingly well, even down to matching wrinkles on the side of the mouth.

Acheronian Carcosa (it is like Mythic Bastionland but with King in Yellow instead of King Arthur. Although, given that Carcosa is about shared delusion and murderous nostalgia becoming reality, I am no longer sure King Arthur _isn't_ King in Yellow, given what his legend had become)

Watercolour card of three moons (pale purple, bone and fiery orange) in alignment with two tiny suns (yellow and blue) over starless sky as pale purple ruins rise from one side of the card, and fire-orange mountains rise from the opposite side, both intertwined with stylized plants. The card is painted badly and nothing is really in alignment.

Original illustrations in Corgi books are also amazing Leo Hartas (books 1, 2, 3, 4), Bob Harvey (books 1, 2, 4, 5) Jeremy Ford (book 2) and Geoff Wingate (books 5 and 6) For example, this is Hydra from book 1, I think.

Sadly I am not going to make it (as I thought it ends tomorrow evening) but here is a map. It was supposed to have been a cult of divine tree (which is mulberry, hence hanji paper, silk, pigments, garden, strange moth) with pilgrim house and hidden abyss of discarded cocoons and elder worm.

A map representing the major points of interest in a cult of sacred tree (unfinished project for Paper Cult Jam). Landmarks are shown as small pictures within the circles, over gradient-coloured background texture by Ivan Slavichev.

Hm. The regular post gives you only 300 characters. But alt-text gives you 2000.

Image (by Scrap World) of the very indignant-looking small bird sitting on a branch; almost spherical yellow body with black stripes on wings and dark beak; probably a finch of some kind. Despite its small size the bird projects the feeling of being very cross with something, likely the viewer.

Thought continues: so why are we stuck in this tiny 300 characters limit per post when the system can fully support 2000 AND attached graphics for every post?

Last hours/days were definitely time to remember.

Image from the last days of GooglePlus, a meme of two men shouting heartwarming statements of each other. From the last days of G+ where everybody hoped they will be able to find each other again in some other place and rebuild the community to continue creative endeavor; only to disperse and be rarely be found again. The community of G+ is gone as well despite the all good attempts to keep it.
People still remember though. People still want those days back.

Somebody (sorry, I forgot who) said (not a precise quote) that "bullets vs text" argument could be won by making a beautiful adventure in a preferred style. It isn't beautiful and I don't mean to win anything over anybody, but this is what it is for me.

An open spread from the notebook, with a somewhat-heart-shaped dungeon map in the middle and a bunch of messy text in a bad cursive writing around it. The name of the spread 'There is a dungeon where my heart used to be'.

This is an example (the amount isn't final) of what error I get. I input the amount, my email (blackened out here) and press 'Donate by Card' button, and it gives me that error. It doesn't even go to stage of asking CC details. Again, I've tried it on 5 different browsers, with all adblockers off.

On less budget-friendly series, if you are not averse of buying USA things, Daniel Smith is kind of hard to ignore. They have huge range and mostly very lightfast. They paints tend to have more than usual granulating variants and/or mixes then other series. Their Primatek is hyped too much, I think.

voiceless@voiceless· Feb 21

(But their pans might be a bit sticky in humid environment.) Turner is sort of my secret treasure. As it is sold here the series here is somehow priced on level of Shinhan but handles better. There are some weird mixes in it and please avoid colours starting with "Maya", so it is pick and chose.

voiceless@voiceless· Feb 21

Shinhan Professional Watercolours (PWC only, they have other series, IMHO not as good). I only had tubes but I panned the tubes without any problems. They are very easy to paint with, very vibrant and easy to handle. BUT one need to chose paints carefully as there is a lot of non-lightfast paints.

voiceless@voiceless· Feb 21

(All series have a couple of fugitive pigments, so I don't mention things like Opera Pink and genuine alizarin) Van Gogh (in half-pan form only, as tubes are tricky). Their paints are usually lightfast, non-toxic and affordable, with good range. They are broadly comparable to Cotman in vibrancy.

Using 'Knight on a horse is to save the princess' situation the comic humourously uses it to highlights the particularities of programming languages C, Javascript, Java, C#, Go, Lisp, Pascal and PHP.

It is from the Desk, so the quality is not too high even at the best of times. (I left the T-shirt as it is because the description said it was his favourite T-shirt)

I made this painting while having a long wait in hospital today. While it is messy and unfinished (and kind of weird in general), maybe it will be of some help against inhumanity of the day. (nothing more than that)

Messy and unfinished painting of anatomically incorrect heart painted like waves and flower.

Finished the hexmap yesterday but it was too late to photograph it, so I made another one. Sorry for the strong side sunlight, which makes the paper appear too textured. With thanks to @idraluna-archives.bsky.social, @ktrey.bsky.social, and @save.vs.totalpartykill.ca who were kind to the first one.

Hexmap of a dreamland done in watercolours and black pen. The hexes show a variety of non-coherent terrains in different colours, as if each hex is a separate land of its own, from floating forest to black and white spreading dungeon. Some of the hexes on the edges spill out of the their frames giving the impression the dreamland melts into surrounding sea of dreams.

A small hexmap of a dreamland showing a number of noncoherent hexes; strong sunlight from a side makes the paper appear extremely textured. Some of the hexes slightly spill into their neighbours but otherwise there is no connection between them, and they portray everything from giant orange whale to raging sea. The map is done with watercolours for colours and black pen for outlines.

voiceless@voiceless· Nov 27

I needed small hexmap for a small dreamland today and didn't have Hexkit installed on my phne but had my paints at hand. (turns out to make hexmaps is much easier than to make a usual maps because there is no need to care about terrain and colour coherency, perspective, overlays and so on)

The image shows a map of seven hexes arranged in an approximate shape of crescent. Colour of the hexes goes in approximately rainbow sequence from purple through red, orange, yellow, green to sky-blue and the backgroun is gradient from light-grey purple to dark blue. The whole map is painted in watercolours and lineart is done in black pen.

Here is a rose for you. I've met it today and it had a wonderful scent and colour. Maybe it will be helpful to you as well, even as a picture.

(thunderclap) And it is done! (sorry for spamming you with all these unasked-for terrible graphics, but I had a lot of fun making this poster)

Extremely neon advertisement (made for fictional business in Over/Under game)
Drawing of vintage-looking table with curved legs and a lot of filigree ornamentation stuck in a middle of a somewhat modern diner. A small, beige mud added awkwardly on the top of the drawing in post-process.
Slogans such as 'Classy tables for Everyday Life', 'Curby legs! Get them here!', 'Bulletproof Desk!' and "New: Put Your Enemites Under The Table!!! Customizable Portaits!" are plastered across the poster in a number of magenta-to-blue gradients and dissonant fonts.
Whole ad looks like as if a drunk intern fell into a box full of neon gradients and badly-made cutouts and had to fight them for their life to get out, which is, probably, how this ad was actually made.

You just didn't have the right advertisement, perhaps?

This is how worldbuilding can be very elegantly done (Skeleton Warrior from Black Pudding Play Book by J.V. West.; I cut the picture short to emphasise the writing but the pictures there are also very good). Good character creation should leave some enigmas to uncover. jvwest.itch.io/black-puddin...
