Description I started a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons campaign called After A Thousand Ages. Myself and all the players are all professional artists, so we started a collective blog for the art we make of our adventures.

I'd organize all this work into its own folder, but apparently you need a paid membership to do that now. vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/t…

***

We honor the nine moons, from Idim the first moon, to Luna, our current moon. Though the first eight moons are gone, their shadows are still cast in time. In the darkest days of the Second and Third Flowerings, when devils walked the earth and giants ruled, powerful mages took refuge in those memories of time and place, creating their own worlds and demiplanes safe from the suffering that rent Valbara. This is the Diaspora, and it is their knowledge that we seek. In the ages since their departure from our world, the inhabitants of the far-flung realms of the Diaspora have become divergent and strange, possessed of wisdom and ideas that would never occur to those of our world. But now it seems that with each turning of our moon one of those ancient voices goes forever silent.

There is a thing far beyond the most ancient moon, a thing of dreadful and heavy purpose. We call it the Sorrow, and we know not what it is. All we know is that it is closer now than ever. Help us, travelers, for we are afraid.

Maaan, this is probably my favorite of your "new" pieces...The figure is great of course, but again I'm a sucker for that beautifully subtle background color/texture/pattern--I have the feeling you took the original swatch and embellished/resolved it into something "more"...?  I love the overlapping/interlocking "interference patterns" of the semi-concentric wave ripples, and of course the lunar phase symbolism.  Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm getting almost Anasazi vibes here...This one could almost be an alt/Meso-D&D Tarot card!

I love the way the "cornsilk" hair echoes the silky texture of her gown, and the sand dollar necklace.*  The name "Lampeye" is so evocative and sends me in creepy barreleye directions--imagine a benthic/troglobite humanoid/hominid with tubular barreleye lenses!  Again reinforces those Gollum interpretations.  XD


* Incidentally, did you know that live sand dollars congregate perpendicular to the seafloor...?  This is something I only learned recently:

Awe, but she's a nice lady! She's just weird because she lives in a temple under the sea and talks to fantasy aliens with her mind.

The detail in her hair and face are just incredible!  I especially love her chin (as weird of a thing as that is to love...)!  Awesome work!!
