For the last 3 years, I’ve spent my free time hand-drawing an animated short film. It’s a fully solo project, from storyboard to animation to music. Orbital Drop is my love letter to the anime of the 90s and I’m so happy I finally get to share it with you. youtu.be/uPOLtwCXjpc

Today's Fiction Primer for Precipice covers that all-important aspect of giant robots: systems of communication. Because you have to be able to trash-talk your rival mid-battle! www.wildplumgames.com/fiction/fiction-primer-lines-of-communication

‘Precipice’ is equally inspired by #Mechwarrior, #Gundam, and the dedicated #StarWars X-Wing players who pioneered two-fighter “ace” lists. www.wargamer.com/precipice/st...

One of my favorite parts of every project is when art first starts coming in. It both solidifies ideas we've been working on and sparks my imagination for further development. I'm so excited to have Eren working on the project with us. Their work has done just that.

Plotweaver Artist Search Finalist Highlight🪡🎨 Introducing one of our finalists, Eren Angiolini! Eren (they/them) is an Italian Eisner Award-winning comic colourist, fantasy artist and TTRPG creator. These are concept pieces and renderings of two monster ancestries for our modern fantasy setting!

Once again I unleash my crude renderings into the world. Don't worry, someone really talented will draw the better version of this eventually!
