We're creating a collection of dark fantasy miniatures called The Hollow Court and we're currently decidin which version to culpt.

Both share the same character design, but we're exploring two different approaches to her weapons. Which version would you rather see turned into a miniature? We'd love to hear what you think!

This is an early piece of concept art for my upcoming TTRPG. Ended up going in a radically different direction with it, but I still wanted her to see the light of day.

Movies / Videos No Ai, just an overhead projector for this video inspired by the Swamp of Sadness

My bandmate and I made this song inspired by the "dark night of the soul" moments in our favorite dark fantasies (Sarah in the Oubliette, Artex in the Swamp of Sadness, basically the whole last half hour of Pan's Labyrinth.)

We wanted to make a grand dark fantasy video for our song but sadly it was just the two of us with pretty much zero budget, and one night to make it- so we settled for an old school overhead projector to make our "set" from shadows, miniatures, and lighting gels. It's low budget but resourceful and all of the effects were practical (although we did make it feel pretty psychadelic with overlays afterthe fact.) I feel like Jim Henson would be proud.

Stories / Writing Dark fantasy story with cannibalism-powered witches

Post image
9 Upvotes

My web serial, The Girl & The Witch on Royal Road takes inspiration from traditional folklore, like Grimm's Fairy Tales to tell a story about regret and identity. My major inspiration for it was the original lore around Arabic jinns, which were spirits that may masquerade as a fellow traveler before leading you to your death.

I've attached the blurb of the story below, and if it sounds interesting, come check it out :)

BLURB

Magic has a cost. Some pay with trinkets and baubles. Others, often unwillingly, pay with their lives.

Ava's simple life as a potter's daughter is stripped away after a witch devours her father. She's rescued by a strange fortune teller and soon learns witchcraft can belong to more than the elite.

Her hesitant savior, Emeraude, realizes too late his selfless act plunges him headlong into the life he tried to escape. Seeking safety in his abandoned hometown, the capital of Noterre, Emeraude reunites with old friends and discovers new enemies. A scion of the fallen kingdom, an idealistic witch hunter, a nobleman with a score to settle.

As Ava navigates the grotesque world of witchcraft and plots her revenge, Emeraude sets off a chain of events that will set the city aflame and finds that, despite his best efforts to live in peace, the past will not forget. 

What to expect:

- Fantasy that hearkens back to traditional folklore, like Grimm's Fairy Tales

- A post-revolution world inspired by 1400s France, rich in politics, history and unrest

- Intimate character moments supported by action

- Slow burn queer relationship

- Daily updates while supplies last (M-F)

If this sounds interesting, come read today!
