Perfect summary of the abelism which surrounds talk of disability in #Fantasy novels.

The assumption that disability is something to be solved, healed or cured is in itself abelist. It falsely suggests a world where disabled people need or want to be "fixed."

As problematic as it can be, I like it when a sci-fi/fantasy world has races with characteristics that are more feckless and derpy than others. The universe shouldn't be composed only of warrior classes; it needs it's Hobbits, Podlings, or Ewoks.

Basic Fantasy RPG 4e now has old-school pig-faced orcs so I experimented on how to draw them. Here’s the last sketch I did of one tonight.

Boromir of Gondor for today’s #LordOfTheFanarts art challenge. Wanted to avoid the movie depiction of Boromir here but I nearly drew him sitting down pointing out that one does not simply walk into Mordor.

Work in progress of a Boromir piece I’m doing. Hoping to finish it by Friday.

One of the weird things I find with writing Fantasy is that it takes sooooooo long to get anywhere. This is a series of maps showing the time it used to take to travel across America from New York. Days to get anywhere, even with installed roads, in 1800, then down to weeks to reach Chicago.

How would this affect the way you draw your maps?

I redrew this old one a little and gave it a more lively color. Now I like it better
