jumping spiders and their babies
strong enough to rise above 🗡️✨
my piece for @opmilfzine! it's full of lovely ladies!
pre-orders open!!!
Some TTRPG characters I've played:
The Masked Phantom, dhampir rogue
Grossk, lizardfolk fighter
Moxie Tripfoot, halfling waitress turned clerif of Tymora (the goddess of luck)
Jenny Bennet, human rogue consulting detective!
Ulara Berbisa, Yuan-ti cleric of Jazirian, the Totally-Not-Dead god of Couatls
Ryoko Musashi, tiefling assassin
Henry & Scooter, a halfling summoner and his eidolon (I reused a lot of elements of Henry's design for My Childhood Wonder Grew Up)
Junpei Den, the Crooked playbook from MOTW
Shaw Dreyfuss, a wayfarer/guardian/arcanist in Fabula Ultima (and also a big fish man with a shark for a head)
Sid, a black mage from Interstitial (a Kingdom Hearts-like PBtA game)
Also a bonus drawing of Tymora in the style of the gods I've drawn for Midgaheim:
I think Faerun's gods could use more stylized depictions than "a human with nice clothes," which seems to be what they usually get.
Happy friday the 13th, friends! To celebrate this spooky day, and prepare for the spookiest of all holidays, Halloween, why not grab a copy of Wizard School Mysteries Book 3: Wicked Witchcraft, now available in paperback and ebook form at Amazon.com?
Here's the synopsis, which will show why this book is such a good pick for this spooky autumn season:
After a summer spent reconnecting with their families and loved ones, the Meddlesome Youths have returned to the Academy of Applied Arcana and Magic for their sophomore year of their spell-casting education, each hoping that this semester will be quieter than the last school year was - or at least involve less death and kidnapping. But how could it be at a school that welcomes in the supernatural? With vampire teachers, haunted classrooms, a masked maniac prowling the woods, and a river from the Underworld itself lying beneath campus, the deck is stacked against a peaceful school year. Add to it the fact that one of their number, Gretchen Pappenheimer, is trapped in an internship that's literally from Hell, and our young sleuths are fated for a fall semester they'll never forget - provided they can survive it! The spookiest entry yet in the Wizard School Mysteries series, Wicked Witchcraft puts our meddlesome youths up against their most deadly foes yet in an adventure that takes them to Hell and back. A perfect adventure to read on Samhain or Freyasday the 13th!
And if you haven't read the previous entries of the Wizard School Mysteries series, Book 1: The Meddlesome Youths and Book 2: Tournament of Death, well, I think if you bought them now you'd have plenty of time to read them both and still have time to read book 3 as a wonderful cap for your Halloween season!
So what are you waiting for? It's never been a better time to dive into the Wizard School Mysteries series!
after much delay, the HalOPE artbook and OST are now available for purchase!
The artbook contains 160 pages of concept art, scrapped content, and developer commentary. also a lot of silly doodles. so many silly doodles
The OST contains the 30 tracks found in-game, along with 17 bonus tracks. Many of the tracks were also edited from their in-game counterparts in order to flow better as an album release.
If you like the game and want to support me, I would greatly appreciate if you checked out either of these. Like everything else I make, I poured my heart into them.

Your capricious nature makes you unfit to be king! It's time to end this childish reign of terror!
Veterans / folks who kept up with the backstage blog (temporarily down, will come back in a different form) might remember these two. It's actually the first time in years that I've drawn them, and the first time I've drawn them full body. 26 and 6 are something like counterparts to 85 and 64.
To make a long story short, a rival entity to Caido, known as Lady Grief, usurped Caido's rule for a time ages ago. During that period, she used some of the negativity she had siphoned off of Caido's crown to create Others of her own, creating 26 and 6 who are embodiments of jealousy and envy respectively.
Of the two brothers, 26 is most invested in defeating Caido and securing Lady Grief's rule over the Nth Dimension. On the other hand, 6 has become apathetic towards this goal, and is now a begrudging participant in this cyclic war over multiple timelines and multiple time loops.
Beyond that, their relationship with their counterparts is also different. 26 loathes 85 almost as much as he does Caido, obsessing over his counterpart and seeking his defeat, but only if it can be brought about by his hand. 6 on the other hand is mostly apathetic towards 64, finding his existence annoying when he remembers 64 exists at all.
Fun little side note is that those badges have a crossed out third eye as their emblem. A third eye (paired with four arms) is a symbol of divinity. In this case, a crossed out third eye is basically shorthand for opposing Caido's rule.
Blood Moon over the western hemisphere — March 14th, 2025.
Identity (AKA "Her") is an imaginary girl. When the original author discarded their humanity in order to bear the burden of their crown, this separate spirit was born, safely incubating in the long dream of the Nth Dimension. Thanks to Caido's carelessness, she was awoken from that delusion, waking up in a hollow and decaying body that was quickly crushed under the weight of reality. Since she is not the original body, her form can decay rapidly under stress just like the Others.
She was recently granted a new carapace by one of the Suns. While it appears to be holding steady, no one knows how sturdy it is, and She is not keen on trying to find out.

(Spoilers for "HorrorVale" below!)
April is gone, so that means it's time for the second ever Act M Progress Report!
Has it really been a month already?
First off, let's unveil the first ever Progress Bar for Act M!
This month was spent working on art primarily as we got started on the Twisted Woods, the first major area of Act M!
It's here where Mothman will have his first encounter with the Creepies (although unnamed at this point!)
We also got the art ready for a very important place in game!
This is the equivalent of "Layla's Lane" in HorrorVale. Here you can freely talk to all your Party Members and even buy some special food from Tamamo herself!
Although technically you won't even visit here until Chapter 2...
Finally, we completed the art for the BOSS of Chapter 1!
This foe might surprise you, but for many of those who used this character in battle in HorrorVale, it might be intimidating to come face to face with him!
Chapter 1 takes place before the story of HorrorVale, so don't expect this fella to be quite "himself" yet...
All of this was streamed live over on our YouTube channel!
We plan to stream all of Chapter 1 Development over there weekly, so subscribe and stay tuned!
That's all for now folks, but we'll see you again in June for the next Progress Report!
Stay Mothy!
