Dear Friends,
Hi, Here is a new game for Halloween! Barlow's Lark, a haunted house. I tried to keep this one super compact, so you can finish it in one session (say on halloween game night. Everyone plays scary games for halloween right?). This game was inspired by the one-person built castles & grottos & other things that people make sometimes if they have a bit of land & some old bottles (like Watts Towers, but there's lots of these places around.)
I've also made 2 pages of spooky sci-fi landscapes: wrecked planet, derelict spaceshipyard, abandoned robot factory, stuff like that. All the drawings are long & narrow so they will look very cinematic & also fit nice across the bottom of a tri-fold brochure.
I've been working on a short comic as well & it's not quite done yet (still coloring) but I am going to post the whole thing here as soon as it is done! I got to take an online class with Polly Guo (she wrote this comic which is super good & you should read it: https://main.pollyguo.com/Gawain-s-Girlfriend) and I'm really excited about doing something more ambitious next time! It turns out that the really hard part is writing an ending; you never have to worry about that if you are writing ttrpgs.
Here is the first page, more to come soon:
Thanks & Happy Halloween,
Amanda
