[colinarcartperson]

So with the demo out I’m finally allowed to share with y’all one of the projects I’ve been working on! I’m doing the art for a visual novel game called “The King is Dead” I have a ton more work to do, but if you’re interested you can find the free demo on steam.

[id (same as the artist's alt text): The front cover of The Skin Stealer's Son by Allison M. Kovacs. The illustration is in a simplistic style with thick lines and saturated colors. There is a Celtic knot life tree in the middle, its branches and roots interconnecting into a circle. On the top, gripping the branches stands a snowy owl griffin, wings spread and beak wide as it releases a cry, gaze pointed at a terrified stag tangled between the tree's roots. Splintering, wood-like title text separates the creatures from each other. End id.]

Have you played THE KING IS DEAD ?

By D. Vincent Baker, Meguey Baker

The king has died without heir. Civil war is coming.

You are warrior princes and warrior princesses of noble name, each with a claim to the throne. At the end of the game, one of you will be crowned.

To win the crown, you'll need to make a mess: fight with your friends, ally with your rivals, fall in love with your enemies. You were born for this.

To start the game, you each choose one of the noble houses - the ancient crown, the rightful regents, the loyal retainers, the usurpers, the foreign power - and introduce your heir. You also each get a starting hand of cards.

Then go around the table. On your turn, choose one of the games and announce it. Everyone turns to that page in their game book, and you all follow the rules there to play that game. When that game ends, it's the next player's turn to choose a game.

All of the games have you drawing cards, showing your cards, trading cards around with the other players, and discarding cards. Your goal is to build the best hand of cards that you can. At the end of the game, you want:The highest card; The most suits represented; and Maybe, just maybe, the Doom Cards: Jacks and Twos.

Once everyone's had a turn to choose a game, keep playing, but now anyone can end play with a final game: the Coronation. At the coronation, you find out who won the crown, whose houses rise and whose fall, and whether the new crown's rule is peaceful and prosperous, or doomed by disaster, assassination, or civil war.

Merthur nation how we feeling?

The king is dead, and any plans that Nirithu, the insignificant youngest son of a warrior clan, had for his future are over. Instead, he has to look after his cousin Risokh, just freed after years spent as the king’s prisoner. To protect Risokh from intrigues within their own clan, fanatical devotees of rival religious factions, and his own self-destructive impulses, Nirithu must find the truth of what happened years ago when the king first imprisoned Risokh, and how the king really died. As Risokh slowly begins to recover from his trauma, he becomes much more to Nirithu than an inconvenient responsibility--though Nirithu wonders if Risokh will ever be able to fully return his own growing attraction. In the meantime, Nirithu’s search leads him into the study of forbidden sorcery and discovering family secrets he never wanted to know.

Hey, guess what! My gay, Jew-ish fantasy novel is coming out on November 29th, and you can preorder it from a variety of online shops!

Whenever I start a new sketchbook, I like to do a podcast related drawing. #3 is inspired by my favorite arc of my favorite podcast, Unprepared Casters: The King Is Dead.

I'm so very normal about the Older Siblings Haley plays, as an Older Sister myself.

Day 5!

For today we have a crown for Arc 8: The King is Dead!

Struggled to settle on a design for a while since some seemed too cartoonish or intricate, but I think this is fairly simple and uses red to represent Sybilla's dress

This was an art request for the NPC Draw and Scrawl, a fan project to encourage people to donate to the charity stream in exchange for fanart or fanfic, and this was inspired by the prompt "your most unhinged idea for arc 8 or arc 11", which for me became "Helga Hatebad in a death metal band" because…. why not lol

Prompt from @becboops , I had so much fun drawing this, thank you so much for your donation!!
