Let’s fill Bsky with spooky art! QRP with yours 💀

#MÖRKtober Day 30: Dance There are lanky, stiff, puppet-like jesters that descend from the sky, dangling from wires, holding a bladed marotte. The hidden puppeteer hops these seemingly lifeless marionettes towards nearby victims, swinging their deadly marottes before being pulled back into the sky.

A Ghost's Story is free until November 1st, then I'll be charging $1 for it. It's a great 5-minute solo journaling zine where you pretend to be a ghost who can only answer questions with one word (at least, through the first playthrough 🎃) #ghost #illustration #zine #solojournalingRPG #hallowen 👻

#MÖRKtober Day 29: Goblin "Every time I slay a goblin, I am grateful I evaded curse. But just after the struggle, when no threat weighs upon my senses, when the air is still, and my nerves have calmed, I say a quiet prayer that this wretched soul can finally rest in peace." -excerpt from a journal

#MÖRKtober Day 28: Carcass And now for something completely different

#MÖRKtober Day 27: Tunnel "Uhhh...can't go this way..."

#MÖRKtober Day 26: Dice The Faceless King, usually having a supply of heads on hand, has encouraged those he rules to create a game of "bones"; slashes are carved into skulls (three on top and each temple gets a one or two), and players toss the skulls to try and get the most to land upright.

#MÖRKtober Day 25: Moth There is a gigantic moth whose silk cocoon can give a person enhanced traits. This involves convincing the moth you are a larvae in need of a cocoon. After several days in the cocoon, you break free, evolved with enhanced powers, but looking a bit more like a moth.

#MÖRKtober Day 24: Miasma There is a mushroom that only grows around dead bodies. Atop a tapering stalk with hair-like fibers, it incorporates teeth into the outer edge of its cap. The central dome emits a fetid stench, potent enough to aggressively deter any animal or person that comes close.

#MÖRKtober Day 23: Map While exploring a deep cavern, your group finds a large spherical rock hovering above an open, seemingly bottomless hole. A closer look reveals etchings resembling familiar landmarks and land masses. This appears to be an etched atlas of the sundered land, surrounded by ocean.

#MÖRKtober Day 22: Poison It is rumored that The Two-Headed Basilisks came into possession of a lone fang from one of the two-headed basilisk prophets when discovering the Nameless Scriptures, venom still intact. The venom is still potent, but extraction and storage must be done very carefully.

#MÖRKtober Day 21: Wall You saw it from a distance and approached it to ensure there was no doubt. As you got closer, all uncertainty disappeared; before you was a wall reaching past the clouds and to either side, with no end in sight. Ignoring who built this, or why, there has to be a way around.

#MÖRKtober Day 20: Crab Your group approaches the shore of The Endless Sea, and you find the towering remains of a giant crab washed ashore. It’s clear it’s been there for sometime. Perhaps you could use its left over exoskeleton as a shelter. You may even get lucky and find something useful inside.

If you’ve been curious about my tiny solo journaling experience, A Ghost’s Story, check out this great review by @exeunt.press. I appreciate the thoughtful review and insight he brought to my little project. If you want to try it out yourself, it’s free during the month of October at a0rtega.itch.io

#MÖRKtober Day 19: Demon You may be possessed by an outcast demon driven to undo the Calendar of Nechrubel. These demon allies will guide your body and help you destroy your enemies. But, you are mortal, and possession takes a toll. They may also find another vessel, leaving you lost and broken

#MÖRKtober Day 18: Hollow Wickheads tend to stick with simple lanterns to contain their lit wicks, but sometimes they come across more decorative lanterns, or even carve rudimentary faces out of lanterns for reasons only known to them.

#MÖRKtober Day 17: Bird It landed on your shoulder, The bird with human eyes. Presaging you with stories, preceding your demise.

#MÖRKtober Day 16: Ship Those who brave the Endless Sea find it very difficult to find those who are not only willing to board the ship but are able to find their sea legs. No one has ever returned from the sea to warn about the sea legs that find any ship that makes it past the rocky shore.

#MÖRKtober Day 15: Fiber Sky nooses. You don't know what's watching you from above, but if you've been judged, then your ascension is your demise.

#MÖRKtober Day 14: Frail Searching through the corpses, you find a small wooden box. Inside the box, within soft cloth is a loosely wrapped, glimmering pixie wing. You can feel energy emanating from it, but it clearly wasn't able to prevent death. You just hope it wasn't the cause of it.

#MÖRKtober Day 13: Relic The Lineage Urn has been used for passing power from a king to their kin. When the king dies, he is cremated and put in the urn. The faces of ancestors replace the carved faces on anniversaries of their death, granting the current king communion with their dead family.

#MÖRKtober Day 12: Pyre There are stories of a tribe that burns their warrior ancestors in perpetual flame, never letting the fires die, believing their ancestors' spirits act as sentries fed by the flames. You were never quite sure, however, if they were keeping others out or keeping something in

Did you know I wrote and illustrated a tiny solo journaling #zine called A Ghost's Story? It's a fun little tribute to my favorite time of the year 🎃 where you only get one-word responses. Those who've played it have really enjoyed it! I'd love for you to check it out 🗣️👻 #illustration #dippen #ink

#MÖRKtober Day 11: Ear There's a fungus that thrives within the ear canal and produces a cap that resembles an ear. Those who succumb to this fungus hear words beyond our realm. There are cults who choose one within their ranks to receive this "blessing", allowing them to repeat these words

#MÖRKtober Day 10: Arrow You don't know what it is or which member of your group it's after, but it's been following you for weeks. You can't seem to kill it, only slow it down from a distance. But you're certain you don't want it catching up to you.

#MÖRKtober Day 9: Flag The Faceless King's strength and dominion is told through the flags brandished by his most violent warriors, elongated by the stitched faces of his supposed enemies and oppressors

#MÖRKtober Day 8: Wail The dark figure peers from under the ragged, filthy hood of its cloak. The deed is done and you've come to collect your bounty. It pulls from its robe a weathered scroll and gently places it in your hand. In a low, wet, guttural tone, it simply says "Worm Wail"

If you’re local to me, come check out some of my artwork at the new 717 Arts Community Center for their Autumn Spirits show. Local artists will have their artwork hanging from Oct 12 to Nov 29, and I’ll be at the opening reception this Sunday from 5pm - 8pm. Hope to see some of you there :)

#MÖRKtober Day 7: Effigy You come across a relief carved into a rocky partition depicting some sort of powerful female entity. Rays emanate from her head, a kingdom on fire behind her, and she holds a severed head in her hand
