Delighted to share that I've just been named a 2025 BAFTA Breakthrough, alongside such luminaries as the director of K-Pop Demon Hunters and the star of Sinners!

ANOTHER HUGE ONE

A GLOWING review from Questing Beast about "The Dark Crystal RPG" (which I was lead-adventure author on!) Nice little boost for a gloomy Wednesday! 🥰

I can't emphasize this enough: If you're struggling to find work in games, you're not the only one and please don't blame yourself. The horrible state of the industry is unprecedented. The crash in the 80s and the recession in the late 2000s weren't as rough as this. There are so few opportunities.

Sick of these fucks telling me that I don't known my own people's history.

Jews aren't your props! Israel's history is one of violence and genocide. It's a colonizer state and it does NOT get to determine our opinions.

Never again means never again, THEY are the ones who forgot.

Hey! I've got a bunch of original art on sale for HALF OFF! If you've been thinking about getting one of my larger originals now's the time! Sale ends Monday. jonathanlamantia.com

I am batting my eyelashes at that header font, what is it?

Yeah, it is a huge shame. I don't have any easy answers.

There are some styles that immediately make me suspicious these days, and I really don't like feeling paranoid when I'm just trying to find cool art.

The incentive is that I like making it :)

I'm mostly in communities with folk making their own things, so I'm not really worried about anyone assuming my work isn't my work, either.

It helps that my subject matter is stuff that AI can't do very well, I'd say the same of yours!

Rad!

HUH?!

An illustration with a dark background, depicting a purple figure with blue arms that twist into a fleshy rope which connects. The figure's throat appears to be cut, revealing a wide, grinning maw that escapes the boundaries of its form.

The clot

If I had a nickel for every time an artist I already loved did a surprise shift into DNB that turned out fantastic, I'd have 2 nickels

Which isn't a lot but it's weird (and wonderful) that it happened twice!

I won. ~3 sections down today!

Today's goal: finish drafting 1 (ideally 2) chapter of the GUTGUN SDK

Gonna fight my ADHD and WIN

Evergreen advice for new artists, remove "Aspiring Artist" or whatever variation out of your bio! Are you making art? Then you're an artist! Life as a creative can be difficult enough as is. Starting off on the path by putting yourself down doesn't help you.

Ty! I've been trying to push myself on layout lately

A one-page tabletop game in brown and red hues with yellow highlights. It reads: FREE WILL A game by Grace Gittel Lewis You are researchers monitoring A-112 (WILL), an entity held deep within a clandestine research facility. WILL is left alone in a room with two doors. --- PLAY 1- A player rolls a six-sided die, and narrates what choice WILL makes based on the result. Whatever the choice, WILL can accomplish it, no matter how impossible. With this in mind, you are given one directive: do not let WILL decide to leave. 1D6 - CHOICE 1: Physical 2: Emotional 3: Logical 4: Natural 5: Unusual 6: Magical 2- The narrating player then describes a new obstacle or other point of choice. 3- The die is passed to another player, and the cycle repeats. The game ends when WILL decides to leave.

I finished my entry for this year's 200 Word RPG Jam!
