Are there any artists in the ttrpg space who does/has done art in this style? Essentially, images composed of simple geometry, solid colors.
For a game I'm working on. Paid work, of course.

Ok it's called DUEL, and when fights break out it's always 1v1.
It's very focused on stances, combos, parrying, having the right weapon, positioning, etc.

While I'm thinking about Spencer's stuff. The latest edition of the RAID playtest has got my wheels turning. You can enjoy some excellent Gila design, but for me it conjurs Muspel as a vast riveted iron & steaming grates under an Yggdrasil-shaped arcology.
More of a grungy, euro take on the genre.
