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.

'Ugla' is Old Norse for 'owl'. #fantasticaluniquities

Art credits: Steven Colling, Adobe Stock.
Fonts: Lithos Pro, FS Sinclair, Floki.
A little #design dabbling with monochrome, stone textures, and reworking a photograph.
Poster titled Ugla. A woman stands holding a sword and an owl, in yellow. Text reads: Judge of the trolls. Presiding over the Trollmoot, she keeps the wilds and farms in grim balance. Ugla's mandate: The Weregild will be paid, the oaths kept, or the sword will be sated. Caution +2. Dudgeon +3. Justice +5. Strength +1. Wisdom +3.

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.

#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.

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!

To practise graphic design, I wanted to make a fantasy poster every day for a month. You can find them all in the #fantasticaluniquities tag.

What's next? I can't keep the pace up, but it's been fun, and I have more design books to read, so I'll probably still be making a poster every now and then.

Fonts: Squealer, Mainframe, Propaniac.
Poster titled Fractal Blade. A magical sword divided into many different parts which seem to come from other swords.

Fonts: Gentium Basic.
Poster titled Collection of Imps Trapped in Stamps. A page from a stamp collection, with monstrous figures silhouetted in the stamps. Text reads: A fairly valuable, if esoteric, portfolio. '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.

Here's my twenty-ninth #fantasticaluniquities poster! When I was first thinking about doing this graphic design challenge, one of my ideas was a whole magazine-style series on #TTRPG adventuring equipment.

Fonts: Membra, FS Alvar, Comfortaa.
Poster titled Rubber Ball. A white ball bounces off a moonlit wall and down a set of dungeon steps. Text reads: Delving gear spotlight #29: Rubber ball. Triggers traps! Uncovers illusions! Distracts hellhounds! Page 58: our full list of tips and tricks, plus recommended vendors!

Another #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster! "Dark Venture". I can't believe I've almost done a month of these already.
The #artwork here is adapted from an 1874 illustration by J Nash.
Fonts: Berg Shadow, FS Dillon.
Poster titled Dark Venture. An old-timey diver fumbles through darkness with a lantern. Text reads: The City of Noct trains hundreds of umbranauts each year, recruited from the old and desperate. The Steady Grasp is a stance designed for long searches in expanses of utter darkness. Protective clothing for shallow dark-dives includes the runed outercoat and sealed rigid mask. See also: boots, air supply, beacon, goggles, cable. Reifying bootsoles reduce the rate of personnel losses from the currents in the ever-shifting night. The darkness stifles light, air, and thought. Piped air keeps an umbranaut and their lantern alive. An emergency beacon has a nine second duration, can be seen through up to half a league of abyssal darkness, and causes one in three bearers to spontaneously vanish. Quartz goggles filter out the endless spectres with which the umbral plane maddens the living. The innate hostility of the darkness to symbols of stability means no safety cable is possible. Missions are guided by expert prognostication. Select umbranauts, retiring from active duty for administrative or training roles, are told what might be out there in the limitless dark.

Poster titled Single-Use Disposable Glyph. An arcane symbol is presented as a flat icon, as a glossy object wrapped in plastic, and as a piece of jewellery. Text reads: Convenient. Flexible.

Corrected version! I forgot that while making this I was unsatisfied with the majuscule "I" in the Trottoir typeface and had decided to make a new one out of a "T"... but never actually finished it. Here's the updated #fantasticaluniquities poster. Credits in the original post.
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.
