Finally some art to show! A toll collecting troll, illustration for an npc-encounter in my #Snailriders boardgame. I started this piece for over 1,5 years and than suddenly life went into overdrive... However, back than I didn't have the skill to finish it anyway, I've come a long way since. Also I've learned something extremely important about myself as an artist, read more in the thread below.

#GameDev #BoardgameDevelopment #FantasyArt #Troll #MastoArt #Art #DigitalArt #NoAI

A digital painting done in a more rough style with impressionistic and classical influences. It depicts a large troll with a moose like nose, antler stumps and slightly glowing orange eyes walking menacingly towards the viewer through a hazy swamp. He holds up one hand towards you as if he expects something from you. On his back he carries a huge basket woven from thick branches filled with various items. Around his neck he wears a dirty cloth satchel with more collected stuff as well as two large gemstone necklaces. Around his arms he's bound smaller gold and silver necklaces and rings.

Also here's another description to mess with potential AI web crawlers. No I idea if it helps but interesting to try at least. What probably would help is filling this alt text to the brim with swear words, but I really don't want to burden you with it if alt-texts are important for your experience, though I will add some here in the end just for good measure. So feel free to skip this final description entirely, it's just lies anyway.

Wir haben einen für uns großen Schritt gemacht und ein Open-Source-Brettspiel zum selbst ausdrucken veröffentlicht: tripletwenty.net/2025/01/20/py

Es hat viel länger gedauert, hat viele Ecken und Kanten, aber ich finde es ist echt hübsch geworden. Ich bin auch gespannt auf den ersten Playtest und welche dämlichen Fehler wir in den Regeln übersehen haben :D

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since you've heard from me. Basically because I needed to fight through an art block, but I finally did it! I finished an artwork! It's going to be my new banner and is a promotional piece for #Snailriders titled "traversing the deepwoods". Check out the followup timelapse because it is wild to see this struggle. But, man, did I learn alot...

#FantasyArt #MastoArt #boardgames #BoardgameDevelopment #GameDev #DigitalArt #Forest #Snail #NoAI

A figure riding a giant snail traverse a forest with ancient trees of enormous size.  They cross a creek by a large root which is lit up by the sun shining through a break . Old gnarled vines cover the trunks and sunken halfway into the bank is a crude fallen statue of a bearded face. The snail looks up in wonder at the trees. The rider sits cross-legged looking out at the sun while holding a stick with a pumpkin bound to it, dangling it in front of the snail.
The silhouette of a giant jumping spider sits in the corner of the image, patiently waiting for the strange pair to slide by.

Couple of weeks ago I made a quick concept sketch for a Fire salamander, an NPC your Giant Snail might be confronted with in #Snailriders. Your snail can handle him, but the precious cargo you are transporting might suffer the consequences if you are carrying flamable items...

Just a proof of concept, not a finalized illustration. I'll have to experiment more with the colors and pose.

Above the finished pencil sketch on the right is an older random warmup sketch of a dragon's head.Digital concept sketch of a big fire salamander with black skin and yellow pattern. A fiery glow is spreading through his chest and a smoke is billowing from his mouth.

👆​ This beautiful collection would make great #publicdomain images for the backs of playing cards for use in #BoardgameDevelopment . Yes, I'm the kind of weirdo that looks for stuff like that.

Thanks for posting!

Check out these neat demo cards for my upcoming board game project.

Been a while since I teased the game. I was hoping to have made the formal announcement by now, but I've been busy making an art living. However, work has been proceeding slowly, but surely.

Close but no cigar...My player board at the end of the latest solo test...Overview of the whole table full of El Burro soloThe bot has it's own player board and donkey board. The bot cards and strategy markers help to play strategically meaningfull.

My wife and I love playing Palace with a 52-card deck, but we gave ourselves a challenge. We took the exquisite River and Stone deck created by @bethsobel and devised a way to include her four extra cards in the game.
