Prints for DoKomi that I had a little extra time to spiff up this week! Next up is Berlin Brettspiel Convention.

[wwyptt]

New paintings, new variants, and newly-touched-up pieces to prepare for Dokomi 2026! Swing by and grab a limited-edition print if you're gonna be in Düsseldorf.

A pair of wild Little Guys appears! What will you do?

Horse Year will continue at least through DoKomi this May. See you in Düsseldorf?

[wwyptt]

This year is The Year.

My collection of beasts, spirits, babes, and studs from this year's October creative challenge! I only managed to make 11... Oh well! Next year.

Together at last, it's my long-delayed Scarlet and Violet/renaissance mashup! (left) Miraicle of Arven, 2025 - digital painting in the style of Ken Sugimori. (right) Konversion on the Road to Mesagoza, 2023 - watercolor painting in the style of Caravaggio.

Based on the Miracle of Paul (aka Conversion on the Road to Damascus) by Caravaggio.

October returns, and with it the obscure occult! If you're just too drained for 31 trademarked drawings in this Extremely Normal year of 2025, allow me to offer you 13 public domain alternatives, these Unusual Beasts and Spirits.

Maybe, though, if one is in perchance the mood for something a little juicier, with which to cool down or even heat up this Extremely Normal 2025, their discerning palate could be piqued by this alternative alternative, through which to enjoy the thrills and the pleasures of the season.

Please enjoy this painting of Chun-Li, also made originally and improperly for the SF6 New Challengers 2 contest. Painted after the distorted realism of the Austrian secessionists just because.

Please enjoy this painting of JP, made originally and improperly for the SF6 New Challengers Contest. I took patterns and design hints from northern European Golden Agers like Kay Nielsen and Polobian folk art, in honor of his move names like Triglav, Torbalan, and Chornobog.

The teasers for my new pin-up poster coloring book Slow Fantasy. Last in stature and order, but not in impact: the Alchemist!

The Alchemist and her menagerie of assistants produce a variety of potions and tonics. One, concocted from smashed grapes and a secret blend of herbs, is by far the most popular -- though the only mixture she takes, herself, is strong, bitter, and black.

You can still support Slow Fantasy with a pre-order here!
