I decided to team up with a friend who loves coming up with RPG worlds, items and characters to make and illustrate a series of weapons that can be used in different RPG games, super excited to get started :D
#theWorkshop
Here's the first weapon sheet I made in collaboration with my friend. We'll make one of these per week for the foreseeable future, building a world around them at the same time, him writing the lore and me illustrating it. I'll post more details on the illustration process on my Patreon as I go ~

@ritualdust Those sketches are neat! Makes me want to sculpt a couple in 3d! Damn! I wish days were longer than the mere 24hours hehe xD
@visionsmind oh that would be cool, show me if you ever do :)
@ritualdust I'm currently a bit tight in terms of time, but I might give it a try as soon as some things clear up and get finished :). I'll let you know if I do ofc!
@ritualdust these are so good, wow. The chipped wood, the texture of the rope, the facets. 😍
@chotrin thanks! I'm a big fan of textures haha I'm glad it shows ^^
@ritualdust what a great pairing of illustration and lore. This feels like the start of a great game play documentation. Looking forward to seeing more.
@tendigits thank you!
@ritualdust As a former publisher, I can say you are on a track for a kind of success if that's a thing you want to chase.
Your work is always stellar, and they would find a good home in games publishing.
@grey thanks a lot! I would definitely enjoy doing more of that kind of work :)
@ritualdust I’m so excited to see more of these. The typography and layout are just… *mwah*! 👌
It inspired me to poke around the TeX sphere to make more Gygaxy stuff for my own campaign and world building.
Michael Davis put out this “rpg-module” package and it seems to do a pretty good job. Your layout is *AWESOME*, I just thought I’d share this! Looking forward to seeing what you and your friend create very much!

@chotrin thank you! Expect one more every week ~ that looks quite good! I'd like to give latex a try one day for layouts :)
@ritualdust I love it
@mario_afk thanks!
Starting a weekly series of fantasy weapons for role-playing games, illustrated by me and complete with stats and backstory provided by my friend Steven.
