Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · 1d

✨🍂It's #portfolioday up on Goblin Hill! 🍂✨

Artwork from the distant driftless include book covers & illustration for the discerning client looking for textured, rich, and liminal works for their #fantasybooks, #tabletopgames, #cards, and #characterart!

Title: The Lighting Dogs of Tornado Alley

An illustration of a power line pole, three coyote faced figures are lounging on the cables and power boxes, looking down at the viewer. A bolt of lightning streaks behind them in the background. the figures' eyes are glowing.

Cover image: an elaborate landscape illustration of the Midwestern prairie. Papercut scrollwork frames the title of the book.

Text: Goblin Hill

Image: a perspective drawing of a long low rambling residence built in the prairie style. It is perched on a hilltop in rural Wisconsin and built of stone, stucco, and cedar. The house is wrapped around a hilltop on three sides, terminating in a short tower. The broad roof shelters many windows, porches, and enclosed balconies.

Text: N P C

Image: a skeleton in decaying motley is seated against a dank stone wall in a deep dungeon. The floor is cobbled stone and beside him is a rickety cloth and pole sign advertising various wares for sale. The skeleton raises a single shining coin. The text bubble below him reads:
RATTLING AGGIE
"Ah! Brave traveller! We've descended quite far have we not? Do not fear my visage, I still have wares to sell thee if you've coin or rot to spare!"

Goblins behind a screen of feathers, old and new.

Since living dinosaurs look somewhat unhinged without their feathers, the same was probably true of their ancient non-avian cousins, such as Velociraptor.
#Sciart

Digital illustration featuring a macaw parrot and a Velociraptor, both in side view. On top of the feathered animal is drawn the same animal as if plucked, pink with wrinkles and odd shapes.

Early Concept - Histlek : God of Self Hatred

God of Knots, All-Giver, the Torment Organ.

They are the embodiment of self-loathing, self-destruction, and over-giving of oneself.

Further description in alt-text.

Early rough concept for Histlek : God of Self Hatred. Likely will change up their look, but for now...

Histlek : God of Self Hatred, God of Knots, All-Giver, the Torment Organ.
They are the embodiment of self-loathing, self-destruction, and over-giving of oneself. They are embodied by the tying of too many knots and animal biting it's own leg among the Manava, the knotting of hair and gnarled trees among the Jabikah, and twisting of horn-crest and a prey animal presenting itself for sacrifice among the Lorperor.

Symbolically, Organ Gods are focused on the spirit, the internal, so unlike a Shell God of Hatred which would be outward aggression, and a Feather God of Hatred which would be an intellectual aggression, Histlek is hatred turned inward.

It is normal for Organ Gods to sacrifice some of their body to act as guide for sea souls to corporealize on land , but Histlek has cast away much more of their body compared to their fellows, with their remainders warring upon itself.

Some say if you especially displeased the gods, they'd siphon your soul into Histlek's organs as eternal punishment .

In Manavan cultures Histlek is a fate for those who make too many bad deals with Gods, or for those whose own self-hatred makes them bitter to their tribesmen.

In Lorperor culture Histlek is more positive as a figure of great sacrifice, embodying the giving of one's self in favor of the group. Even then they are still seen as punishment for bad leaders and criminals who must give up everything for their failure to the Pride.

Among the Jabikah they are a curse and another reason to loathe the gods.

The Vulgoth view Histlek more like an obscure cousin that they've heard of but never met.

I’ve been getting into heraldry lately, and now I know that this coat of arms would be described as: “or, a goblin rampant contourny azure, armed argent and langued gules”

Slender-billed Curlew has officially been declared extinct yesterday. I will treasure all these artworks from fellow artists even more, as a tribute to this bird! Anyone who has a sketch, pencil drawing, etc. of this species laying around, I'm interested to make a swap!

At the center of Viridia lies the great market. It's used by the forest folk as a place to trade with the humans, as it's not yet affected by the Strange.
