Come join me for some Monday coworking & productivity as I set up my work for the week, prep projects, work on scheduling, and all the BTS stuff of being a full-time artist. www.twitch.tv/devenrue
After quite some time of them being closed, I've added a new tier to my Patreon for commissions. This makes it easier to pay over time to get something created by me and at a discounted price! Limited availability so grab a spot while they're open! rueadventuring.com/posts/new-co...
Finally unpacked these beauties and added them to my shop along with the sun & moon pins! I will eventually get my entire inventory unpacked...one day! ko-fi.com/devenrue/shop
Finally getting around to working on a few boxes for around the house again. Tried to remember to snap some pics before sealing them and finishing the outside of the frame. I have a few more I want to do before doing some sculpting.
Hanging out on Twitch for some cozy co-working and chatting for the next few hours. Come say hi! www.twitch.tv/devenrue
One of the many things I love about creating maps is hearing the stories people have with them. When GMs see a map of mine & instantly start creating history & lore! I am always fascinated by how they interpret the map & add their own things in them. It feels like such an amazing collaboration.
Make your own fantasy maps with my ABR brushes! I have over 600 cartography brushes that work in PS, CSP, Procreate, Gimp, Corel, & Affinity! I even have digital papers, ribbons, & lots more to make your own hand-drawn looking maps. rueadventuring.com/posts/abr-br...
I have 65 different map tokens plus blanks & rings ready to drop into your favorite VTT! Grab them in my shop or simply download them if you’ve already subbed to my Patreon. Let me know if you need one I don’t already have available! rueadventuring.com/posts/map-to...
It has been suggested that for my next Skyrim run, I should livestream it since I'm finally doing a "full explorer mode" run through. I might start with a new character for tomorrow's stream. 😄
I have quite a lot of illustrations for tavern/business signs, handouts, notice board flyers, adventures, quests, menus, potions, custom items, and more; all available for commercial use on my Patreon! rueadventuring.com/collection/6...
My wife 3D printed me a Gloomy (yes, I know it’s “Grumpy” but Gloomy fits better so deal with it) Care Bear for my desk. She gets me 💜

Received a copy of Song of Monsters by an author I made a map for a few years ago! I can't wait to dive into it!
This is one of the cutest PR packages I've ever gotten! Love the card, the mints, the accessories, everything. But most of all, I *love* the candle! It smells amazing and now sits in my office next to my drawing tablet because I need to smell this all day every day! 💜 @cantripcandles.bsky.social
50% off membership to my Patreon ends on June 30th! Get access to my entire map & stock illustration archives! rueadventuring.com
For all those who love to use dice to make your maps, I made you dice to make your maps with! 😁 Grab them in my shop: ko-fi.com/s/d8ae52ab37
I've started creating potions as a quick warmup to a full day of illustrating my maps and decided that every stage will be saved as it's own potion. 4 potions from 1 illustration is not bad artist math at all!
I drew Fred, a fey creature that lives with the Pirate Queen from our next issue of Fantastical Geographic. I don't think I've ever drawn anything this cute in my entire life! Also, a little shoutout to the opalescent colors coming out so perfectly!
Have you picked up the free issue of Fantastical Geographic featuring Baldur's Gate yet? It's a fun project that helps support a bunch of creatives! Grab a copy now! Next issue we're off to the pirate town of Sunmoor! rueadventuring.com/posts/baldur...
FanGeo is a project I created after seeing so many artists talk about being burnt out and having to push themselves to make anything. We're a growing group of 45+ creatives working together to make a fun, inspiring location based zine every month. Supporting one of us supports us all!
The latest issue of @fantasticalgeographic.com is free for everyone to enjoy! Come explore Baldur's Gate with us, answer some trivia, find the hidden messages, get advice from the stars, read the realm report, & make some Monkey Balls at home! fantasticalgeographic.com/baldurs-gate/
Several years ago, I got this idea for an in-world cartographers guild. That eventually morphed into a travel magazine. The idea was to ask as many people who were already creating this stuff regularly to join me in a monthly theme and create something for both players & GMs. This project is... 1/3
Where I spend my mornings writing. Made a pretty little outdoor space in our backyard. 💜 Still needs some more plants but it’s getting there.
My Dicey Map Sets are now live on my Ko-fi! I designed this oversized D20 & D8 set as a fun way to create your maps! Roll for direction then roll for your land or water feature! Thanks to my wife for bringing them to life with color and our 3D printer! https://ko-fi.com/s/d8ae52ab37
No one tell her she doesn't quite fit in this bed anymore! She's happy and we're happy to let her just keep believing she's still a kitten.
