I'm a visual artist drawing monsters and maps and other peculiar things to create worlds of endless adventure. Hand-drawn ink art. No AI. No NFT. 🇸🇪 https://linktr.ee/pathspeculiar
Colured version of my old-school World Eater traitor space marine. Didn’t come out exactly as I had hoped, I find red to be a hard colour to nail. Ah well, fun little drawing to do in any case. #spacemarines #warhammer #warhammer40k #oldhammer
🩸BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD🩸 FLESH FOR THE FLAYER 💀SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE💀 SOULS FOR THE SLAYER Old-school World Eater traitor space marine with chain axe. 🌏🍽️ Drawn with ink fineliners. #warhammer40k #warhammer #oldhammer #spacemarines
Paths Peculiar merchandise finally here! A lot of you guys have been asking about buying t-shirts with Paths Peculiar designs, and I'm happy to announce that I've finally made official gear available for purchase. Check my bio for a link to the web shop!
Was in the mood for colour pencils, so had a go at my previously black-and-white Death Guard insignia. Bonus throwback; my old plague marine. 🪰 🦠 💀 #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #deathguard
Throwback to Perchburrow Point. Love this little salt-stained outpost at the edge of the great sea. 🌊 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #handdrawn #inkart

”Walk peculiar paths, find peculiar places” is my kind of artistic … motto, I guess? Years ago I tried to come up with something to describe the kind of feelings I want to invoke with my art, and jotted this down. Anyway, tried out my newly drawn ”skull frame” with the phrase. #handdrawn #inkart
Drawing this was an incredibly stupid idea. Doing it with a bloody fountain pen was truly moronic. #inkart #handdrawn #skulls
This weekend, I played in a MÖRK BORG tournament with ~50 players trying to reach the heart of Hell in 2,5 hours with as few deaths as possible. The grim reaper patrolled the tables, flail in hand, feeding slain PCs’ sheets to a shredder. All GMs had corpse paint. We didn’t win, but it felt like it.
Please feel free to peek into my world. Have a seat by the hearth, a mug of ale and let us spend the night sharing stories of ancient realms, fickle gods and peculiar paths. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #worldbuilding #handdrawn
[work-in-progress] Starting to see the finish line on this little worldbuilding project. It’s been a fun draw! 🏰 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #handdrawn #ttrpg
Work-in-progress. Haven’t drawn isometric in a while, and was in the mood for some worldbuilding. So here’s some kind of keep or mansion. Perhaps an inn? #isometric #drawing #handdrawn #dnd #dungeonsanddragons
A couple of sword designs and an hourglass. Damn, chains are *so hard* to draw. ⛓️⚔️⏳ #handdrawn #inkart #fantasyart #sword
The Bulette’s Barrel was one of the first isometric drawings I made, and while it’s a bit crude I still have a soft spot for it. These old drawings were formative for the style I have today. #isometric #cartography #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn
”They shall not pass!” There are currently many evil men around that needs to go back to the shadow. Or rather get dragged out and into the light. #handdrawn #fantasyart #lotr
A collection of doodles. Always keep a sketchbook close for those mini-breaks. #handdrawn #inkart #fantasy #weapons #fantasyart
So I’m going to do the layout for Free League’s take on Trudvang. Which is extra fun since that was the first TTRPG I laid out back in 2000.
A weathered print of my ”By the docks” isometric map 📜 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn #map #cartography
Some kind of symbol/insigna that I might use in my campaign world. Pretty happy with the linework on this piece. ⚔️ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #handdrawn #inkart
I tend to mainly draw my own favorite space marine chapters (hence a lot of Ultramarines), but here’s something for the Blood Angels🩸fans out there! #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #handdrawn #inkart
A look at the result from today’s drawing session. From top to bottom: 1. Imperialis 2. Goodwyn pattern boltgun 3. Reliquary 4. Crux Terminatus 5. Mark III ”Iron” pattern power armour helmet. #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #handdrawn #inkart
A quick, dirty and free tutorial! How to draw a Space Marine mark VII helmet in 9 simple steps. Read the whole thing on my website (link in bio). #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #handdrawn #tutorial
I’m utterly useless at drawing human proportions and faces, luckily I quite enjoy drawing old-school space marines where such skills aren’t really required 😅 #warhammer #warhammer40k #oldhammer #handdrawn #inkart
No, I don’t know what to write in the ribbon! In any case, I’m going to go ahead and call the hand-drawn part of this piece done for now 🙂 #handdrawn #inkart #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
Work-in-progress, just started drawing a fighter in heavy armor with my favorite helmet design - the sallet. 🏰 #handdrawn #inkart #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #ttrpg
”Do you have a moment to talk about the wondrous gifts of grandfather Nurgle?” Work-in-progress on some Death Guard heraldry. 🪰💀🦠 #warhammer #warhammer40000 #deathguard #handdrawn #inkart
