Non-Imperial and Clan Flags
I previously posted my attempt at making flags for my Imperial protectorates, some of which worked, some of which didn’t. I can’t say that my skills with the GIMP2 program have particularly improved, but I do have a few more … Continue reading
Culture Composites: Haaraka

Culture Composites: Jernizan
I have small stockpiles of images collected from various places on the web that I use as references for my cultures’ looks. Since I’m starting to composite some of the pics for my artist friend to look over, I figured … Continue reading
Deity Profile: The Trifold Goddess
The Trifold Goddess is not a single deity, but an alliance of three entities who share power and act in concert — mostly. They have a few collective names: the Shield, Torch and Hammer; the Maiden, Mother and Matron…and the … Continue reading

Mentalism and Miscellaneous Maps
Since I haven’t posted in a week, I feel obligated, but I can’t seem to muster the energy to flesh out one of my waiting drafts. Instead, I’ll pin up the maps I’d either done right before my computer issues … Continue reading
