Closing out #Witchtober with the arrival of Black Phillip. BONUS: This week's video also features our Patreon Autumn Monster Challenge! Lots of great stuff from our creative friends. @philrood.bsky.social @wfgworkshop.bsky.social @pizzadad.bsky.social youtu.be/lFSFuD10LJo #witch #sculpture

How’s your spooky season shaping up this year? Are you planning any horror themed adventures? A Call of Cthulhu one-shot? Are you using any special dice this time of year or playing a specific game? #ttrpg #fantasyart #jackolantern #handcrafted #pumpkin #dice #noai

My first 5 RPGs - The Dark Eye (French 1E) - Call of Cthulhu - MERP - Paranoia - AD&D And then the list goes on with Ghostbusters, Rêve de Dragon, Stormbringer, Star Wars, Maléfices. And much later D&D 5E, The One Ring, Dragonbane, Delta Green, Mothership and many more!

Among other projects, I’m currently working on a private commission, hand inked on paper with a brush for the most part and a dip pen with different tips from some elements such as the coast lines and the map frame. Next, I’ll be adding watercolour! #fantasymap #commission #ink #handcrafted #noai

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of traditional inking on paper. This weekend, I’ll be working on the Voyager’s Guide to Guildenhof crowdfunding preparations and dive into some good TTRPG sourcebooks as I have no games planned. Happy Friday everyone! #fantasymaps #cartography #ttrpg #fantasyart #noai

Happy Witchtober! We uploaded a bonus video to all our Patreon supporters (Free Tier, as well) where I work with a few new digital tools I downloaded to make this cute little witch illustration.

Last week was the 100th anniversary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. Let’s dance a little jig to that, courtesy of Winnie & the Dragonslayers, playing live in the Hundred Acre Dungeon! #fantasyart #winniethepooh #tribute #handcrafted #noai

Wishing all my fellow Canadian artists, writers and creators a most excellent Thanksgiving from Nova Scotia! I hope your company is good and your times merry! #fantasymaps #canada #maritimes #thanksgiving #noai

Just a reminder that all my fantasy art & maps are created in my studio in Nova Scotia. With my multi-disciplinary approach to visual storytelling, I use combination of traditional and digital tools to handcraft artifacts for your TTRPG games! #fantasymaps #handcrafted #ttrpg #fantasyart #noai

The Map of Sea-Addled, which is one of many that I have handcrafted for Vala Foundry‘s upcoming TTRPG, the 2nd edition of Monsters of Murka, compatible with D&D 5.5E. #fantasymaps #isometric #ttrpg #cartography #noai

Not doing any funky October challenges this year, but somehow I got talked into another side quest! Who can say no to dear friends kind enough to invite you in joining their fun spooky themed challenge? I’ll be throwing some ink at this one soon! #fantasyart #monsters #dungeon #rpg #noai

Thanks to a little bit of time off here and there, I’ve been diving back into Dragonbane! I’m also working on another two-page adventure map with a cover illustration that is proving to be quite the side quest! #fantasymaps #fantasyart #ttrpg #indiecreator #commissionsopen #artistforhire #noai

The Voyager’s Guide to Guildenhof is complete! After lots of doodling, drawing, mapping, writing, editing, proofreading and play testing, I will now be ordering physical proofs of both the soft and hardcover version of the book very soon! #fantasyary #ttrpg #cartography #anyrpg #sourcebook #noai

From world maps to dungeon maps and from regional maps to city maps, I create many fantasy maps. And maybe I’ll be lucky enough to create your map! Send me a raven or come by the Voyager’s Workshop for a commission! #fantasymaps #ttrpg #dnd #cartography #mapmaking #noai

A map post with a proper Friday mood, and an update on the Voyager’s Guide to Guildenhof: the basic version of the book is complete! I will be looking at beefing up the content with a small crowdfunding campaign so, please, stay tuned! #fantasyart #ttrpg #cartography #storytelling #noai

I’ve been working on one more battle map for Vala Foundry’s Goblin Cave. Here’s a sneak peek. Things are really starting to shape up for this unique board game! #fantasymaps #battlemap #hexmap #handcrafted #noai

On this day 89 years ago, the finest of hobbits went on a most extraordinary adventure. Happy anniversary to The Hobbit, first published on September 21st 1937. I discovered it on my tenth birthday, it ignited my passion for fantasy storytelling! #tolkien #hobbit #bilbo #smaug #middleearth #noai

Things can get busy, even in the Maritimes. But jumping from one project to another while giving side quests the attention they need and fitting time for gaming and storytelling is all part of art life, and then some! #fantasymaps #ttrpg #cartography #fantasyart #noai

“Trollish Demeanour” Pencil on paper. Quickly realizing that her sword will do little in dealing any sort damage through the troll’s thick skin, Anemeryll resorts to putting her skills with the spear to test in the hope of overcoming her oversized opponent. #fantasyart #ttrpg #pencil #noai

Close-ups of the Map of the Five Realms, a commission for a home brew TTRPG setting where the players each created the home region of their characters while the GM focused on the realm of the main antagonist. #fantasymaps #ttrpg #cartography #handcrafted #noai

Further work on the Voyager’s Guide to Guildenhof (a 48-page interactive book, compatible with any RPG, handcrafted, written, illustrated, mapped and designed entirely by my good self) is going very well. #ttrpg #cityguide #mapmaking #fantasyart #noai
