Poster titled Overzealous. The letterforms are superimposed on silhouettes of cultists. An abstract humanoid form looms over fire and candles. Text reads: A band of fanatical cultists. A vexed would-be divinity. Too many gleeful stabbings. Will they complete the ritual? Will they break open reality? Your cult has no chill!!!

I've decided to spend an hour each day of January dabbling in graphic design to try to learn some skills.

My aspirational constraints:
🖌️ A4 poster size
🖌️ one-hour-ish time limit
🖌️ 'weird fantasy'
🖌️ try new things each time
🖌️ finish something every day

A new #fantasticaluniquities poster!

Art credits: @chaoclypse.bsky.social. Map elements by Kyle Latino (mapcrow.itch.io), CC-BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/...), modified. Steven Colling. The Forge Studios. @silverglass.bsky.social.
Fonts: FS Alvar, Lovecraft's Diary, Pathways, Passage.
Poster titled The Blinded Temple of the Great Glutton. A pinkish fleshy beast-shaped temple structure crouches with tongue extended, amidst map elements including small desert terrain features and a compass rose. A magnifying glass, partially obscured by map elements as if three-dimensional, slightly magnifies the temple's face, which has an empty eye socket. Text reads: Talking megastructure of greasy clay. Dull-witted. Hungrily licks up all who would enter, anteater-style. Worshipping cultists know to stand well back. Loudly despairs being tricked out of its house-sized Ebon Eye That Sees All Flesh, missing for centuries. In the intervening time the vast eyeball has come to be worshipped by a different, distant cult. The Temple would surely offer rewards beyond reckoning to those who accomplished the feat of returning its Eye (or just devour them).

Poster. "Royalty." LONG LIVE THE POLITICALLY LEGITIMATE RAT KING. Has divine right (rat) to rule. Squeaks with authority. Undisputedly has the Mandate of Heavermin. Heals plague at a touch.

Poster titled Jade Cube of the Sunk City. A labyrinthine green cube is enmeshed in beams of light, phosphorescent text, and seaweed. Text reads: Recovered from ocean floor, slick with algae. Faint groaning sound can be heard when held to ear. Solid ground near the cube becomes wet abyssal silt. Any city it is brought into soon begins to subside.

I've been dabbling in graphic design for fantasy, so I'm making and posting an experimental poster every single day of January. (Tagged with #fantasticaluniquities to find them)

Woe upon me if I should break this promise! Woe upon me and ruin upon my house!

In January 2026, while reading books on graphic design, I made a #TTRPG poster every day to develop those skills. I don't have the time to sustain that daily pace, but I have a bunch of sketched ideas I hope to get around to making. #fantasticaluniquities #art

I have some reflections on the month:
3D text. #Fantastical uniquities!

Shatterbeak. Resonant squawk: Shatters glass, crystal, ceramics, eardrums. Assassin's fletchings: Arrows pass right through window panes. Breaks expectations: Tends to be attacked by its own reflection.

#fantasticaluniquities
Art credits: Texturelabs.
Fonts: Bagnard, Gaeilge.

Today's #design dabbling: Vector practise! I was struck by the eye/kayak motif and had to think of a joke to put around it.
Poster titled Be a Watcher on the Water. Text reads: Enjoying a paddle beneath the boughs of the Golden Wood? To prevent a loss, please be on the lookout for miscreants: Pale lamplike eyes may be watching your pockets. Some wretches might skulk about on floating logs. Be mindful of your possessions while camping. Don't let a thief make off with your jewellery! Notice posted February / Coirë, Third Age 3019.

Everyone had that experience at the athenaeum where some barely-trained local inquisitor came in to tell the class that Cantrips Are One More Gateway To The Occult.

Texture: Texturelabs.
Fonts: Advent Pro, Decalotype, Millimetre, Ostrich Sans, Saira, Selima.

#fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG #poster
Poster titled Cantrips: One More Gateway To The Occult. Seven books arranged like toppling dominoes progress from safe-looking volumes to dangerous tomes. Their titles read: 16 goodly charms. Benign dweomers. Hexes for novices. Magick fair & foule. Weaving plagues. Ruination of kings. Secrets of the lich. Four text boxes below the books present factoids: 78% of self-identified cantrip users go on to learn more potent incantations and rituals, studies suggest 43% of those who habitually delve into the deepest of arcane mysteries say a friend got them into it 61% of practising warlocks admit to having regrets about the current ownership of their soul In the bottom corner is a logo for S.A.G.E.: Sorcery Abuse Gainstanding Education.

I was tinkering with letter-hacking and ended up making another #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster. Inspired in part by the Book of Durrow (an illuminated manuscript from ~680 CE).
Poster titled Shrink. Text which itself is slowly shrinking reads: A spell of diminution. Should thy foe merit preservation, let this charm be thy recourse. Dwindling to the stature of the humble mouse, thy subject may be redomiciled in a mead-jar. But a recipient reduced to smallness unrivalled may in faith never be found again.

'A wizard did it' over the course of decades. Imps that you set free might provide a service. If you lick them, the glue tastes of brimstone.
