A little late for the summer solstice, but life is very hectic right now^^ An older piece I still have a big soft spot for hypericum perforatum - (St. John's wort) also known as the "solstice herb" since it blooms around the time of the summer solstice.

I should probably update this soon, but I quite enjoyed putting together a colour wheel of illustrations:

HOT FRESH NEW ART, tiny spot pieces (3 & 4 of 6) from HIS GLORIOUS SHIELD for the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum. I'm kind of tempted to go into a little more detail on finding the personality in portrait pieces, especially when they're part of a set, and all have to be distinct. Hmm.

Some Nurgle fun and games from the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory:

And that's my postal vote sent - doing my little bit to kick the Tories out of power.

We'll stick with characters, and some of the ones I illustrated for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's Up In Arms:

Let's kick off the week with some character pieces from Lustria, with a heavy nod to Dave Gallagher's amazing designs for the Skink and Saurus:
