and here I thought I couldn't like Elric more
Somehow never seen this James Cawthorn Elric artwork, he truly is the character who keeps giving. Some of the best colour choices I've ever seen here.

A few samples from the #ttrpg system I tried to work out a few years ago. I've learned a lot about layout since then but I really like the vibe of this setting.

@munkao.bsky.social always cooking! so inspiring!
