The Acrynn - July's first creature release
Hey everyone! It's going to be a full year of Sol'Kesh next month and what better time to assess what people want, and to deliver.
- I'm very excited to announce that a new modeller joined the Sol'Kesh team and you'll find higher detailed sculpts with textured bases for our 2 creatures a month.

Wayward Sketch #37 - Squids you can dig
Hey Happy Wayward Wednesday Patrons!
Been a little while since I added another aquatic beast to the fishing feature and today I tried a squid that digs in the sand. Not evolved from the Dumbo Octopus....because this is a a
Squid... but definitely inspired by it!
Hope you all have a great rest...
July Release - Crawling in the Dark
Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying some summer, and...winter for those on the other side of the equator.
July will be here in a few days and we'll be starting off with the Acrynn! Winner of the last Patr...
Sol'Kesh Live Play - Astral Adventures - 05
Hey everyone hope you're all doing well and enjoying the summer.
So the greatest thing about these live play sessions for me is that not only do I get to hear about all the crazy adventures that take place on Sol'Kesh Island, I get to see how players want to enjoy the world and that helps me come up with ideas to add ...
Wayward Sketch #36 - The Cute Factor
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!
Babies. They're often cute, the solmundis baby is certainly cute, if you disregard the prehensile bladed tongue sticking out of its face. But that's the charm of Sol'Kesh I suppose, there's always something sharp and deadly.
So I'm thinking of creating some statb...

The Hectatrex- June's second creature release
Hey everyone!
Today the speedy bird, the hectatrex launches! And if like me you checked out the second season of Prehistoric Planet, you can imagine this plains running feathered fiend chasing down prey like those beautifully long feathered raptors did in...nearly every episode.
The speculative evolution behind ...
Wayward Sketch #35 - Ceiling party
I was so focused on preparing the hectatrex for tomorrow I completely forgot it was Wednesday!
Luckily I had this flower from an older sketch hanging around, but it was a bit boring alone so today I gave it a bit of a beetle friend.
If you'd like the high res version you can find it here.

Early Preview - The Acrynn
Hey everyone!
Thanks to all those who voted I have here an early preview of the cave dwelling arthropod, the Acrynn.
This blind beast crawls along in the darkened caves beneath Sol'Kesh, narrowing in on prey with its sensitive echolocating antennae and then pounces for the kill.
Expect to...
Patreon Creature Release Poll #2 RESULTS!
When creating content, one should know their audience... so in conclusion...BUGS FOR DAYS!
Chitin-covered, chittering arthropods take the win again, and this time I'll be sharing the journal entry for the Acrynn early for you fine patron folks! (in the next post)
Thanks again to all those that voted, its been a ...
Wayward Sketch #34 - Scaly Spitter
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!
This scaly dog-sized lizard was made as an answer to not having enough creatures in Sol'Kesh that shoots at the players. So soon enough you can imagine walking through the woods, wind blowing through the leaves, bird song accompanying your peaceful trail.... till with one of these liza...
Patreon Creature Release Poll #2
Here we go again with some creature-democracy!
Last time the Rutort won, who's now sitting pretty as this month's first release, so now we can bring back the two non-winners and a new contender.

I got to say Patreon's been doing wonders for me to just create, having the two creature releases a month and weekly Wayward sketches has given me reason to just keep drawing creatures and I love it.
So to keep at it, here's a bug! I've added this little scale chart that I think I'm going to add to the creatures in th...
Sol'Kesh Live Play - Astral Adventures - 04
Hey everyone, the adventure continues as the players run into more denizens of Sol'Kesh and considering they're now riding around on Draffer's seriously has me considering some mount ideas for the bestiary book. It's amazing seeing the creature's in action like this.
Comment if you've tried them in your games! Or brin...
June Release - Over Flowers and Fields
Hey everyone,
June's coming in quick (scary quick) and we're starting off with the winner of the Patreon-exclusive release vote. The Rutort! I'll be doing another one for July soon so stay tuned for more democracy.
The Rutort is a rather docile and lumbering giant insect, ploddi...
Wayward Sketch #32 - Double Jelly
Hey everyone, have a bit of a double feature today (mostly because a single little jellyfish on the page would look sad)
For the pyral, I'm thinking of a simple venom extraction for some potent poisons, a bit basic but it may give an intrepid traveler a stinging edge.

Sol'Kesh Live Play - Astral Adventures - 03
Hey everyone!
The party came across quite a few denizens in this session and managed to throw a huge spider further than I thought possible.
Stay tuned for the forth installment and thanks again to Rose, the 'Mobile Forge’ Aktalith, Kari, Farren and Illikan ‘The Lost’ for delving into Sol'Kesh.
Wayward Sketch #31 - The Stars that Cling
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!
I have here an underwater creature that will be ripe for the fishing feature. Now it's probably not the most attractive thing to be clinging to your hook so I'll just need to think about some benefit it will have in harvesting this eye-bedecked star...and if you want to suggest somethi...

Hey everyone!
Took a bit of a creature break to work on some environment paintings for the book, here's a preview of some of the descriptions that go with the areas I posted on the island map.

Wayward Sketch #29 - Bulburst Plant
Hey all you wonderful people! More plants to bring in some spring.
So the bulburst here has this whole life cycle thought out...but really it's all to justify a reason for the players to harvest some grenades. What can I say, sometimes world building is simple :)
Patrons, you can find the high res version here: ...
