Rod of the Silken Caterpillar: Art (PNGs)

Greetings All!

Squeaking in at the wire for a total of 4 Items this week. Getting us fully caught up here!

I had realized that I had neglected Rods for a bit so I have a few in the pipeline planned, this one is a combination again based towards unique versatility and some different uses of low end spells. It is also one of the first that I worked a breaking mechanic into, which is pretty rare for me!

Let me know what you think and I hope your table gets some...

Crooked Blade: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Built around being versatile for both Martial and Magic classes, it has a versatility built into it so that it benefits both. I hope you get a kick out of it, as it shares a few characteristics with the Shard of Permafrost which is an old favorite of mine. Really enjoy things that make other abilities more exciting.

Wind Shuriken: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Continuing the roll on Darts with a styled Shuriken.

This is a Shuriken largely inspired by my little one binging Naruto while I was feverish on the couch, nothing like passing on some shared entertainment with the new generation. I was happy with the results and loved the idea of an air elemental ability being attached to a thrown weapon. Like most critical triggers, this should be most interesting in the hands of an Assassin Rogue.

Gravestone Token: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I wanted to make a summoning stone that worked as a kind of phylactery for a tamed undead creature. Would love to hear your thoughts on the premise, I would recommend pairing with the Band of the Bead to increase your players chances of making friends.

Let me know what you think and I hope your table gets some use out of it.

Updates: Swapped Name and Item Type.

Flawed Orb Guard Bracer: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

This is built around a mixture of Aura and Spells, being on a time limit that is rather generous for use. The Discord voted Very Rare without attunement and I am tending to lean that way as well. If you have any questions, voice them. I’m going to be taking it easier but generally around today.

Rolling Thunder: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Normally I publish the new base item along with the magical version of it, but it will have to wait until next week. This is based off of the aptly named ‘Splitting Maul’ which is the combination of an Axe/Hammer. So that means, in this fantasy purpose it is a Maul/GreatAxe - dealing bludgeoning or slashing damage, selected at the time of the Attack Action to which side it is in use.

Splitting Maul: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

A later post today, pulling some extra duties around the house this AM. Luckily, the extra time since Thursday has been put into balancing this base item a little better.

Originally a combination of a Maul/Great Axe, it became a base 1d10 for both sides. This balance with it having an additional property to swap damage types, while not quite as strong as Reach, it still fits better with a 1d10 in exchange for versatility.

Let me know what you ...

Staff of the Snatcher: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Finally another Staff! Built off the SRD examples with 1-3 level spells contained in a rare, occasionally with an additional feature. Originally named Staff of the Catcher, but I lamented turning off comments.. Which might still happen.

Thematically, this is built to detain and capture. Perhaps something for NPCs who really are about to ruin a fleeing parties day?

Swamper's Dart: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Finally getting some energy back and updating quite a few of these for upload tonight. I realized that I had made only two darts, the Fester’s Beak and Jelly.

So to counterbalance my weird darts, I made something a bit more multi-use and less gross. This is a combination of either damage or a minor ability similar to Faerie Fire.

(One-Sided) Card Batch: May 2022.

Finally getting a leg up after the COVID week out. Here is the one stop shop for all of the 11 items (+Variants).

This is a .zip file that contains the one-sided art condensed for easy access. These one-sided cards come in various sizes and are recommended for digital use due to their infinite scroll nature.

If you are still interested in use, here are various sized backgrounds for rear side use: LINK.<...

Current Status: Illness.

Hey all,


Just a super quick update. If you missed on Instagram or Discord, I have COVID in the house again. Currently taking card of others but today I started to feel it. 

It has knocked me off schedule for this week but I will be catching up hopefully next week.

Hope all is well, and will resume posting soon.

Ring of Fluid Expression: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Second ring of the week! I’ve been wanting to do a simple and low rarity ring for this very thing for a bit now. Making it activation over a Long Rest helped with the rarity, though it would be an Upper Tier Uncommon.

Contacted a dear friend of mine for some sensitivity reading, and here we are. I remember in previous editions (or maybe just an OoTS story) there was a gender swapping item, I wanted to update it for a more modern take. While this i...

Suspenders of Halflingkind: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Well, I have gone and done it now. First a Brick and now Suspenders.

I was trying to think of what would tie in for Halflings, and I fell back on Hobbit inspiration for the colors and design.

Since they are granted neither racial Darkvision or a Resistance or Immunity (like the Elves and Dwarves versions) I added their Lucky ability. Being as strong as it is, I tied it to a recharge to limit its use for potential abuse. All things said and don...

Ring of the Dwarven Lords: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I saw a really cool ring over this weekend, and this was the result!

Thrilled with how it turned out and the aspects inspired another closely associated dwarven item and so Dwarven Noble flavor. I hope you enjoy!

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, or see any language that needs editing let me know!

Updates: Lineart update to really show off the shine, played with depth and highlights.

Crossbow of Harold the Slayer: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

A crossbow, finally another! This one has been in the art pile for a while and this week I put my mind to making it into something special. Hence, Harold’s Crossbow was born with a few unique features to make it stand out.

Tying this against something like the Oathbow, but making it more inclined to a prepared and careful hunter. That aspect of an item really spoke to me, leading to the two very specialized features. I also loved the nod to a spec...

Healer's Kit of the Path: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Happily catching up with a new take on a Healer’s Kit, and I got to sneak in another reference to the Green Path!

It has 8 charges compared to the standard 10, but since it recharges it is not a major issue. The idea of it regaining charges and having an additional option when fully charged, I thought it fit the idea quite nicely. I hope you enjoy it!

Flesh of Ripped Souls: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Dedicated to one of the first magic items I ever encountered, in the glory days of Diablo 1. This is a testament to its unique set of rags.

This item came in two rarities, but Very Rare without attunement seemed to win out so that has this final upload. If you want to see the rare version, comment and I'll add it to this post.
