I love the vibrant colors and control of light in this.

New art up on my Patreon. You can see the low res version even if you’re not paying to follow me there. Check it out and let me know if there’s something you would like to see me make!

Just a sketch, really, but I like the direction it seems to be headed in.

β€œOhhh… you’re looking for old man Grinkark - the blind old orc who lives on the hill in that abandoned miner’s hut? Well, he keeps mostly to himself these days. Crazy old man that he is. Tells some real whoppers of a story or three…”

Agreed. And parking your I’d saves a lot of future headaches.

A fantasy world map in progress, complete with an equator line, Arctic/Antarctic circles, and tropics. Two nations have been marked: Detani, containing the cities of Gloamwood Bower and Runaan, and Lahaina, containing the city of Khesa. Deserts and ice caps have been marked out, as well as rivers and deep seas, but forests and mountains have yet to be added.

A long term WIP that I'm slowly bashing out! I've started DMing for the first time and I wanted to use my campaign as a vehicle for in depth worldbuilding. This is the map of Gellinus, as it stands so far! #worldbuilding #fantasymaps #d&D #art #mapmaking

illustrations from my Patreon tier headers gathered together around my Patreon's logo, comprised of a journal having its pages flipped inside a hexagon. The drawings are of a map with miniature and dice above it; some journals with hex locations; a leather travel journal with loose maps and pages inside, resting near a cut log; and finally, a big tome above some maps near a bedroll and a camp pot with steaming stew inside.

On February 1st, I'll be launching the new Expedition Tome tier 2026, with a backlog of more than 126 stock art posts, where new subscribers will also receive weekly new stock assets, including monthly-exclusive ones + access to the entire personal use backlog of the other tiers.

Heh. Not sure what you would do for the β€œHacker”, but you guys could do a fantasy version of this crew…

I love β€œhybridizing” like that. Excellent work.

I did the same. There are a fistful of artists that I’m following over there, but everything other than them (ie - the discover tab) is… not for me.

Making a solo ttrpg journaling game for giggles, and because I can. Through that phase where it’s all inspiration and the honeymoon is over so all I see are flaws. Feels like I need to restart.

What’s the hardest part of game design for you?

Here we go…

I love these spooky locations for #ttrpg sessions. We work hard to provide free places for your group to explore with or without combat. Just follow on the site / blog to get them free. Made by real, live hoomanz too!

You got it bud. I think folks could really get a lot out of what you do, so the recommendation only makes sense. ;)

I can’t recommend this strongly enough if you play any kind of fantasy #ttrpg!

Fernando’s work is gorgeous AND varied. He makes beautiful maps, draws amazing creatures and items, and he does it all with a frequency and quality that belies the fact that he’s human.

Go get on board now, πŸ™ me l8r.

Hey #WritingCommunity, I've got a poem in this anthology of forest-themed fiction and poetry, and if the stretch goal is met, you'll also get a one-page #TTRPG from me (tentatively entitled "Before the Dark Catches Us")!
