I did the layout for Kids In Capes!!

STRAIGHT CHEESIN BC I AM HOLDING MY COVER ART ON A BOOK AAAAAAAAAAA

I am SO proud of this team and this book !!! I attached my artist statement for this cover; so much heart went into this and I hope y’all like it as much as I do!!

@huntersent.bsky.social
Jae holding Kids in Capes with their art on it It was very important to me to portray a fat queer kid on the cover because I don't see very many RPGs with that kind of representation anywhere-and for a game grounded in reality, centered around characters who are (typically) aged 10/12-16/18; kids who look like the one on the cover are typically outcasts (and/or are bullied by their peers). My hope is that ALL kinds of kids and teenagers (and adults of course) see a cover like this and feel affirmed that ANYONE can be a hero, no matter what you look like. The narrative of Kids in Capes of 'finding your own identity while growing up and dealing with all the usual trials and tribulations of being a teenager (further pushed by adding superpow-ers) stands out to me as a queer trans person of color. After all, what are superpowers-Some-thing that a lot of kid-heroes may need to hide from others, feeling alone and disconnected from peers due to something unchangeable about themselves (a feeling I really wanted to evoke with this kid sitting alone on a roof, looking up at a brilliant sky of possibility, of the future, of hope), grappling with a bunch of adults who could never understand, or even fear, their new abilities-What are superpowers but an allegory for Queerness in a world where being straight lie power-less) is the norm? This cover art means a lot to me and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Definitely seconding this! Colorists and letterers are almost always hired after the writers and pencilers, so if you wanna work with someone specific, it truly doesn't hurt to ask your editor. I've gotten jobs based on artist or writer requests MULTIPLE times.

Comics writers and artists — please request your favorite colorists and letterers when working on a new project with a publisher. Can’t hurt to ask. (And if you don’t really care who letters/colors your work…that’s disappointing on a lot of levels.)

It sucks when you find some local board game clubs and cafe but then their social media is full of AI 😩 I don't even know if it's worth trying to talk to them, because at this point, how do you not know how harmful it is?

As a freelancer who doesn't live in the US I don't get to take this week off (which is fine), but I also don't take holidays off when they actually happen here, so... Yay? 😅

What are some board games you've been enjoying lately? I'm thinking about what I should get for Xmas.

(I like games like Mysterium, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Clue, Dungeon Mayhem, Gloomier, Pandemic. I've been eyeing Vantage, Arkham Horror (cards), SETI, Kinfire Council, Marvel Champions)
