‼️ 🤔

I’m not familiar with the company making this or anything they’ve done before this but apparently they’re based in Italy so that makes sense.

Curious to hopefully learn more when the Kickstarter launches.

THE WITCHING TREE (2019)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6" x 6"

An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games. 1/2

With long curls of blonde hair flowing down her back, a naked woman throws her head back and her arms out in reverence while standing in front of a demonic looking tree. Behind her the bare knot of wood shoots out roots and branches wildly. Set randomly in the gnarly wood are eyeballs with squished and oblong pupils.

Great plumes of smoke erupt from the skull, bones materializing and fastening together, flesh adhering to the surface.
A dragon soars and screams into the mortal plane after centuries held within the chains of casted imprisonment.

Green vulture dragon summoned by a witch in a pine tree from a skull of a vulture. Smoke fills the hair and wisps around the painting.

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

I worked with Shane and on the german translation of Savage Worlds. Often we had to make decisions on how to handle part bigotry in books. It seems he generally is not good at recognizing it. I will not promote it any longer.

Brian Ashford @brianbloodaxe.bsky.social · Sep 13

Well I never did get around to running my 2000ad anthology campaign with Savage Worlds. Now I guess I‘ll find something else to run it with.

L'auteur des JDR Deadlands et Savage Worlds qui regrette la mort de Charlie Kirk, un mec ouvertement raciste, sexiste, anti LGBTQIA+ en le présentant comme une espèce de voix de la raison qui cherchait le dialogue...
Va manger tes morts Shane Hensley, va les manger très fort!

post facebook de Shane Hensley
"I liked Charlie Kirk.
I didn't agree with all he said, but I appreciated his courage and how much he genuinely tried to find common ground with those who disagreed. He literally gave his opponents the mic and listened to every word they said, then challenged them to honest debate.
We needed more of that, not less, and I am greatly saddened at his loss"
