My grandma knitted a crimson bat for me and it is by far the best thing I have ever owned

Just wanted to send a message saying I really love your art, and as a trans woman who started transitioning in the last year and got into runequest about the same time seeing such an incredible trans artist associated with something I love is really great. I've been having a rough december and your art has consistently brightened my day, I have your Eserela and the Red Goddess piece as my phone background right now!

Hey there, thank you so much - this is exactly the sort of thing I want to achieve with my art and am always very happy to hear about it!

Art v Artist for 2025

Just saw another "haha an idiot thought my klingon flag is a nazi flag" post, and I keep getting bothered more and more by them. I get that it has become the most widespread design, but maybe you shouldn't be surprised that people who don't know about it would be weirded out by you displaying a flag clearly designed to evoke the the nazi flag. If you're into trek enough to buy and display a klingon flag, why not go to the effort of using one of the many more interesting and distinct designs that actually appear on the shows. Sure, it's not as easy as pressing buy on the first thing that pops up, but still, why be that lazy about displaying your passion for something? Even the most nazi-flag-like banners we see on-screen are more visually distinct than what these people usually display.

Ugh just had a psychiatrist question me if the media influenced me into being trans. Lady, I wish the media had given me a word for what I was feeling instead of a hundred mocking stereotypes to feel bad about without even knowing why.

"You know you shouldn't play in women's sports, right?"

"I'm not interested in playing in women's sports, I don't do much sport in general."

"Ok but it would be unfair."

Oh my god did I ask? Why is a psychiatrist trying to pull her patient into an argument that the patient is clearly not interested in having? Can't you just do your job?

(I was there to adjust the dosage on a transition-unrelated medicine. She was the one who brought all that up. Apologies for the rant, just very annoyed right now.)

Dark Side of the Moon is out now! I've done almost all the interior illustrations for this, and the subject matter borders on obsession for me, so it is very exciting. It features my Zero Wane history, ten pieces chronicling the life of the Red Goddess on earth, that was some of the most fun I've had working on a piece.

(The cover is by John Sumrow, a great artist and really nice person!)

This has reached Electrum Bestseller status, and now comes with a file of bonus content that includes a bunch of the discussions we had while making the artwork for it!

My girlfriend started playing Morrowind and now she keeps calling me "Outlander"

[quaycur]

I hope she says it in the gravelly male Dunmer voice.

[kleioscanvas]

Yes, she absolutely does

[kleioscanvas]

Oh, I've started too, I just have a bad track record with starting playing it and then dropping it relatively quickly. I've tried installing some mods to alleviate some of the bigger issues I have with the gameplay this time.

Here's some picrew guys! All npc's grongo the troll, ortussi the 18 yo mercenary (55 in pike), and Nestara Eel the lunar charroy with a suspicious amount of weapons. Any plans to update with some more non human stuff? My players are obsessed with them (duck, elf, morokanth, they just won't play a human). Please I love your art so much! (Also I can commission for it if you want)

Neat! Don't worry about the lunar lady carrying weapons, Femmes Fatales are part of their religion.

Very unlikely to include anything other than maybe some Aldryami related stuff in the future, that would be a nightmare. The reason there's already limited options in regard to face shape and features is that too much variation there really interferes with the tattoo and face paint options which were the most important for me to include.

Do you ever look at virtual tabletop tokens for TTRPGs and think: "What if instead of just being the art from the monster manual but massively downscaled, these were weird little guys instead?"

Ponder no more! These Runequest Adventure Tokens that just released include the entire Bestiary and Starter Set, over 200 pieces in total, as little figures inspired by manuscript marginalia, all hand-drawn by me.
