Feels good. Senjutsu has been a favourite, alongside HEAT. Wingspan is always fantastic too.20 Jan 2026 15:09 +0000at://did:plc:e45nqhgelcsxxzevd72wezbd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcugspqc7s2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/tallshepherd.com/post/3mc5e4y2v3s2jGonna try and make this place work for me again, Twitter has been gone for a long time but I was hanging on because it was my highest following.

It’s a project that’s let me play close to historical maps, and I’m trying to make it as authentic as possible. Put a lot of time into the linework specifically with this one, hopefully it pays off!28 Oct 2025 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:e45nqhgelcsxxzevd72wezbd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4b4y7jkvk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/tallshepherd.com/post/3m3ey5tzej22bMore maps more maps more maps!!!

Check out his kickstarter, it's a project that's worthy of your time, especially if you're as keen on fantasy (and maps in particular) as I am! I got to work on some new maps for it (as well as providing a few pre-made ones).

Wish I could do socials and work and keep on top of a clean house all at once but it's real tricky, something's gotta give and it's usually the socials.
