Felt like a fitting work during Pride 🏳️‍🌈 From my old Superhero RPG Campaigns: The many reincarnations of the Italian vigilante Raffaele and their first contact, rescue and relationship with their ever-faithful partner, the oracle Priscilla.

Some old art of House Entello, my homebrew Navigator House for 40k. Known for their unnatural manes and their tendency to wear the pelts of their own honored dead, an ancient contract with the Emperor's own signature grants them sovereign over the world of Eryx, rich with tales of triclopean heroes.

A nice wholesome piece from my old Superhero RPG campaigns' setting: The wedding of the superhuman vigilantes Boneface and Razor, respectively a man cursed by a demon of wrath from the Crusades and a woman effectively turned into a werewolf by her genetic mutations.

The Long-Bearded warrior deity Godan and his wife, the motherly Frea (possibly Nertus), Gods of the Lombard people. Beneath them, the Lombard women, their hair tied together in imitation of beards, call for their favor.

A villain from my old Superhero TTRPG campaigns. The Elephant-King is an ancient magical masks granting flight, superstrength, invulnerability and a necrotic touch. However, it slowly rewrites the wearer's body and mind into that of a pre-pharaonic tyrant who sold his soul to an evil Nile Deity.

Lord Commissar Kassian Pyra. Born from the concept of the main antagonist of a T'au-centric RPG that never materialized, Kassian is ironically the one pure 100% imperial character I have, and the biggest monster in my set of Original Characters. I hate him, he's great.

June 2nd is Italy's Republic Day! I decided to celebrate with a personal touch by drawing my brother and I's OCs from our superhero TTRPG setting, respectively Raffaele, Italy's most powerful vigilante, and Calibro, the leader of Italy's official superhero team.

When I was a kid I drew my first "comic" on a school notebook. It was terrible, but I was SO proud of it back then. This year I decided to stop and draw fanart of it. I do think it's a good thing, to sometimes stop and make something that 10 years old me would have been overjoyed to see. Feels nice.

I didn’t draw as much as I was hoping this year but I’m proud of what I did draw! I’m working on a few projects that I hope come to fruition. Hoping next year is full of more drawing for fun and leaving any reservation behind!

Caption: maybe joy is in opportunities all around me. Waiting to be found.

I've been having a pretty good time playing a few Hollow Knight RPG campaigns with friends. Here's a few colored works I did for them. Love these colorful little guys. From infested city-sewers to forests destroyed by the encroaching madness, Hallownest is no longer a place of peace.
