This afternoon’s #BooksAndBrews has me diving back into #TheBlackCompany with Shadow Games and a cold DC Brau. 🍺📚
Sun’s out, it’s a little warm, but the beer makes it just about perfect. What’s everybody reading right now?

Taking a break for #BooksAndBrews, cracking open Book 4 of #TheBlackCompany, #ShadowGames. ☕⚔️
Been enjoying this research, reading, and diving deeper into the world. Soon I’ll be shifting gears into Phase 2 playtester feedback… which should be a blast in a very different way. 😄🎲

It’s a holiday weekend, & I squeezed in about five hours of work before the kiddo even woke up. 😅☕ Been crafting the #TheBlackCompany Playtest 2 survey as it's soon & we got great feedback last time.
Now it’s time to switch into Dad Mode and see if I’m cool enough for some video games with her. 🎮❤️

At 3 pm today, beneath a stifling summer of fire and blood, I will guide five of the Company into Beryl’s smothering violent streets, where rumors of something old and hungry stalks in the shadows. 🤘😊 #TheBlackCompany

Five minutes until the squad storms the Beryl streets in the Summer of Riots for the #TheBlackCompany playtest and I am beyond ready. ⚔️🔥 Dice are out, nerves are high, and things are about to get messy. If you haven’t joined the Company yet, it’s still not too late...fall in and march with us.

Since I still thought the announced date for Glen Cook's They Cry was February, in case you too are waiting, it's November 2026. Here's the source for the correction:

Just got back to work on this (so, day 9); SORCERY. Blocked in a bit of the left explosion plume, finished off the middle (check out the rocks above the head), and blocked in the third flyer.
Still have not fixed Soulcatcher's left hand.

More painting on SORCERY for #TheBlackCompany, day 7. Near final colours on the guys in the air there. Lots of subtle (fun) work with light and shadow on both figures flying.
For those who asked, it's painted on a Cintiq 27 using ArtRage, which does "natural" media fantastically well.

Progress on the SORCERY #painting for #TheBlackCompany, day 6.
For those interested, the guy falling at the top is what a rough colour study looks like. In other words, ugly as shit.
The guy falling on the bottom is like a mid-way finished colour.
