Cavalry's War Pick: Art (PNGs)

Greetings All!

On the minor tier of Rare, but oh so much fun to do. I admittedly got lost in the little details of this one, and if I had more time in the day I would have continued to do so.

Given the damage type and minor magic ability, I hope it finds a great home despite not being an immediate jaw dropped. I know there is at least one person out there who will benefit from the often overlooked aspect of a ‘Trained Mount’ versus untrained.Get that direct co...

Behir's Heartblade: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I ended up scratching two itches at once, trying to capture a Falchion and getting a new creature item in the works. I liked it so much, I ended up doing both item evolutions (albeit simply) for table play, including the charged state trigger. A little bit more fantasy compared to my more grounded takes.

I ended up falling into a deep dive involving the history of Wootz Steel last week and worked that in as well. I always enjoy how it looks when the...

Robine's 'Frog' Scabbard: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Here is one of my dungeon delver inspired items! Something invaluable to those that still partake in the deep depths of a crawl. Which is one of my favorite challenges, nail biting experiences in DnD!

Small update to the item, still think this is one of my favorite little additions. Sometimes it's way more fun to focus on the aspect of exploring. This is a small treasure for that.

Updates: None! New Item.

Hope you enjoy ...

Shepherd's Spear: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I finally finished my first growing item, and I absolutely love it!

Using the mixture of the Awakened/Legendary and Exalted/Artifact, I attempted to bring some balance to some essential game breaking item levels. Building onto two Very Rare items, already meant it was going to be a higher tiered Legendary but subpar Artifact so I polled Discord and decided to do both!

Using already established Exandrian influences, I shot for ...

Sun Tree Sapling: One-Sided.

Greetings All! 

Working in my ever-so secret love of Exandria here is a Whitestone inspired item known at the ‘Sun Tree Sapling.’ Made specifically in the city much adored by Pelor himself, and made from one of its most famous landmarks, and a most guarded export.

This might seem like it’s a deviation from the track, but this is very much still one of the item evolutions tied to this week’s uploads. I can’t wait to share the reveal tomorrow! This to...

Announcement: Munchkin Critical Role!

 

Greetings All!

Long Story Short: With your support and that of the community, I was found by OPGames/Steve Jackson Games and asked to work on the new Munchkin: Critical Role.

Of course I jumped at the chance! Myself and the wonderful Elena were the artist on this project. This is her incredible work on the Box Art as well as amazing takes on all t...

Reforged Avenger (Redone): One-Sided.

Greetings All! 

Fresh art for a favorite item. I am working on the evolution of the ‘Avenger’ blade this week, so I didn’t want to pass on the chance to redo some of the art. This new take calls back to the initial design a bit more, and incorporates the things I’ve learned since the last rendering. Here is to the beauty of broken things, I really enjoyed this one.

  • Updates: None: Brand New Image.

Hide of the Winter Wolf: One-Sided.

Greetings All! 

Back at it this week with the ‘Hide of The Winter Wolf.’ One of my personal favs, as it ties back to my fresh DnD 3.5e days learning the ropes on Neverwinter Nights. In that wild west of servers/games, I was able to make lasting friends that taught me the game. To the many friends that faded along the way, and I truly hope they are doing well out there. This is directly inspired by some of those long nights dealing with packs of Winter Wolves, c...

Patreon Exclusive: Jackalope's Paw - All.

Greetings All! This is the first official Patreon Exclusive!

While this has been on the list for a long while, it was originally scheduled for when we hit 100 patrons but after these few months it is more than deserved amongst you all!

I wanted something special that I hadn’t seen before, and I ended up jotting this down at the same time I made the mimic ring. Which seems like forever ago as we hit a year of item creation. 

Hoping you enjoy it, I will...

State of the Dungeon: October 2020.

Greetings All! 

Wanted to get a bright and early ‘State of the Dungeon’ out for this month, so that everyone knows where we are, what’s already finished, and better yet what is coming!


Tier Art: A small update, but I finally was able to set aside the time and knock out some icons for the Tiers. Just a little change but I love them. 

Patreon Exclusive Item: This is complete and sc...

Sawbone's Suture: One-Sided

 Greetings All! 

Sawbone’s Suture! With Limbcutter, of course this was going to be the next one. When I wanted something that was very specific in its final reveal, and tied to the another (the previous) item. This is where the influences of things like Hellraiser, Vampire the Masquerade, and Event Horizon stepped in for darker inspired legendary item. Hidden away from the world within an item that just begins to tap into it’s true potential, and only unlo...

Limbcutter: One-sided.

Greetings All! 

Limbcutter! Partially inspired by the most lethal amputation ever, and the stories of old sawbones. This was a fun experiment to push the boundaries, and tie directly into an item being a sheath for an even greater secret. All in all i still love the idea of a shortsword-saw.

  • Updates: Minor Grammar Tweak & Texture Touch-Up.

Hope you enjoy it!

Truly as always, thank you all.

Shielded Hand Crossbow: Two-Sided.

Greetings All! 

Keeping things underway! Here is one of my recent faves!

Shielded Hand Crossbow! I wanted to make a base model that could be scaled up into other Crossbows, and this was the base result. I had a lot of fun with it’s design, it also cracked open the door for Tinkerer modifications of standard 5E items. I was thrilled with how it turned out, especially as a template for future items. I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Scroll of Isolation: One-Sided.

So glad to be back all! I’ll be making several smaller/larger changes over this week that I can’t wait to get underway. For now, please take a look at the 1st of 4 items for this week!

The Scroll of Isolation! Originally part of a project for the depths of isolation brought on by Covid that never came to fruition. Instead it was released during this latest project, and is a trouble solver for parties without a high level caster or a plot h...

First off, let me give a resounding shout of thanks to all of you for your patience. I have greatly missed you all, and could not be happier to have something to share. I will be returning to the regular schedule of uploads next week for the official return, but I wanted to sneak in something a little early.
