ECCC was great! First time tabling at a big convention. We can’t wait to come back! Here is a view from our hotel and @krismukai.bsky.social behind our table!

YouTube video by JP Coovert How to lay out a Zine! Making Zines Part 2

I hope this video about zine layout is helpful! Not too technical, but enough good advice to get you started making your own zines.

Arlin is running a kickstarter now on crazy blades for your RPGs if you wanted them, a good chance to get some of their art to hold in your hands!

Kris and I will be at ECCC artist alley table G18 this week!!! March 5-8 @krismukai.bsky.social drew this!

I just released a new zine for my game Star Borg on my Patreon. It was so much fun to make and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! www.patreon.com/c/jpcoovert

By the way, if you're in TV or film, have pitched Warner or Paramount or really any studio, & believe that the Warner-Paramount deal will harm your ability to work or diminish your pay, go to this website and share your story. That's the evidence needed for a state AG case:

In case you missed it, I’m making another Rumored blades zine!

Good morning! The official news is out, I’m making a new GN with First Second! Lenna and Caterpillar is a fantasy journey about loving life even as your cursed destiny follows you everywhere. For fans and first timers alike. Please look forward to it!

what was up with the moon tonight. pretty cool.

this might bring me one step closer to switching to linux too

I'm learning Krita and super impressed with it so far. It seems to have everything i need for a digital drawing app. I'm trying to use more open source software in general so i'm glad this is an option!

thanks!

We were close! but a bot pledged with no reward right when it launched, adjusted it to $200 then canceled right when it was about to reach the goal. They also sent a message that was clearly written by a bot. Oh well! if you want to help stick it to the bots, check out my Kickstarter!

I just traced over it in clip studio because I’m much more familiar with that work flow, but I’m pretty sure blender also has tools to get a similar look. I just don’t know how

when designing the cover for rumored blades 2, i brushed off my very limited blender skills to make this. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Look at this absurd sword! If you want more, consider backing my new zine! www.kickstarter.com/projects/109...

thank you!

thank you! to be fair, I am pretty bad at promoting my work!

Rumored Blades #2 An illustrated zine collecting strange and fantastic weapons and the rumors that surround them.

I have enjoyed this publisher in the past. So I backed this right away www.kickstarter.com/projects/109...

ZineMonth always surprises me. I think I’m tapped into everything coming out, then something like this drops on my feed. Looks incredible!

Rumored Blades #2 An illustrated zine collecting strange and fantastic weapons and the rumors that surround them.

RUMORED BLADES 2 Kickstarter is live!
It is a zine about weird swords and other fantasy weapons! I loved making the first rumored blades zine a few years ago, now I'm excited to make a new one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/109...

launching soon! give it a follow if you are interested in strange swords!

I'm so pumped to get to bring on @arlinortiz.bsky.social! Arlin has been making some of my favourite maps and fantasy art for years, and I’m so excited to see his take on maps for Swords Without Master!

Arlin works absolute magic with a risograph machine, and brings that vibrant, retro aesthetic into maps, dungeons, monsters and more.

Some work in progress mockups for Rumored Blades 2 www.kickstarter.com/projects/109...

Rumored Lands is in this bundle!
