Now there’s a hole in the sky / and our superhero is trying to close it with her super-powers! From ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’, from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. (While I love comics, I’ve never been a superhero fan, so that’s why I always get a bit giddy whenever I talk about these.)

Was told today that my old college tutor & general illustration mentor Ron Tiner had died. Really sad. Rest in peace, Ron. Thank you for everything & passing on the fire.

I’m no Latin expert either, but I was wondering about that too, y’know…

Ha, I’m out of my depth already, but I’m going to say he must just be really nice. Now more than ever? Yeah, that’s it.

Statue dedicated to a (super)hero, ‘Cestus Pax’ who’s kind of like the Superman of the ‘Aberrant’ RPG world from @theonyxpath.bsky.social.
The ‘Aberrant: With Great Power…’ (which is a riff on what Uncle Ben from Spider-Man said) book is out now.

Hooey war robot makin’ factory from ‘Aberrant: With Great Power…’ tabletop RPG book, out from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. Yes, I poured all my adolescent robot love of @2000ad.bsky.social’s ABC Warriors, Terminator films and anime mecha into this and then just sorta freewheeled it.

Crime-busting, super-powered luchador masked Mexican wrestlers from the ‘Abberant: With Great Power….’ tabletop RPG from @theonyxpath.bsky.social. ‘The Justicieros’ here hunt down the cartels, only in this particular kind of mask and tights…

Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why don't you just put it down. Idiot

A picture in a frame. It is drawn in black ink on white paper. It shows a small mushroom-capped humanoid, riding a giant beetle. Several fungal "fronds" come out of the beetle's body, and are reaching up into the air.

This is #3 in a series of threads about Gloranthan art hanging on my walls. This one is so good, I bought it twice, first as a commission for my book, The Voralans, and here as the original hand-drawn ink art from @leeoconnor.bsky.social. In the book, this picture is in full colour, added digitally.

Scientist getting zapped by weird science reactor from @theonyxpath.bsky.social’s ‘Aberrant: With Great Power’ superhero tabletop role-playing game. Looks like this’ll be what gives him weird powers then, chief. Zap!

You guys have really gone for these (thank you!) so here’s some still photos of those playing cards. So they’re all gone for now, but there’ll be a Print on Demand version soon. Gotta reformat all the art & draw SOME 20+ EXTRA CARDS first..!

Thanks man, super kind of you. I’ll shout about the print-on-demand set. A normal print run would probably be a thing for next year.
Thanks again for that sketch commission, it was fun.

Actually, there might have been someone who might have had an idea to help out with that very possibility; but nothing concrete, don’t hold your breath, etc (trails off in VagueSpeak)…
