Second Attempt at an Inspiration Piece for Arcadia


Here is my second attempt at getting the mood and style of Arcadia right. The issue seemed to be mostly one of framing and colors. My wife felt the earlier one looked radioactive. This seems to help address that.

First Attempt at an Inspiration Piece for Arcadia

Initial artwork for Blood Red Dreaming, the Realm of Arcadia. No utopia or idyllic land of fairy tales. Mistake it as such to your pain and surprise. The land of the Free Peoples, be wary and be strong.

Design work for Character sheets to be used during play

Early design work for the character play sheets for gaming. The idea here is to make gameplay quick and intuitive, to not require massive reference books to take each action.

Welcome to the City of Glass


Concept Art for the Painted Labyrinth

The Painted Labyrinth is the deepest Realm of the Shadowlands that is 'easily' accessible. The most dangerous and abstract realm of the Shadowlands. As all Realms of the Shadowlands represent cultural memory of history, encoded as stories. The Painted Labyrinth is the long term storage of ancient stories and histories, where history has been encoded as myth and legend. The Painted Labyrinth is a land of archetypes and monsters, the land of trials, the taste of death, a path where heroes go to learn whether or not they are in fact heroes after all... or fail forever.


I'm not 100% happy with this art piece for the Painted Labyrinth, but I want to provide content at a decent place. I want to enable people to play Blood Red Dreaming without myself present to walk people through the process. So here is an image. It is an imperfect attempt, and I will probably try again, but for now it is enough.

A quick collection of photos of the first draft of the Book of the Crescent Sun

 The Book of the Crescent Sun is the record book used to keep track of activities used between games to generate Vajra for use in gaming session and the Incursions into the Shadowlands.

Welcome to the Ring


Here, as promised is the inspiration piece for the Ring. It's obviously more symbolic than the piece I did for the Foglands. For the moment, that feels right. I may go back and make a more representational image later down the road, but right now, this feels like the right place.

Welcome to the Foglands

A concept piece for the Foglands. I am working on art pieces to help establish the mood and feeling for the various Realms of the Shadowlands.

The next piece to look out for will by the Ring. Which, in all honestly, probably should have gone up first.
