    Thanks! I was going for that old pulp feeling with it, a lot of my work is heavily focuses on black and white, and I've been trying to really commit to solid blacks over the usual lining, or crosshatching (which you can see in the grass; thats would have been my usual method.)

    (Not sure what the ettiquete is regarding instragram links, if its against the rules I will refrain from posting and link images directly in the future)

    A small ink drawing I did a a little while ago, inspiried by the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Colour out of Space" and Annihilation, which was one of my favorite books of the last few years. The drawing started off as a few scribbles to test the paper of a new notebook I was gifted, and kind of evolved into this. I hand't planned it before hand but I had just recently re-read Colour Out of Space and I guess it influenced it.

    I'd totally be up for participating in Inktober. I've followed it the last few years, but with college I couldn't dedicate the time to take part.

    Started a new job yesterday, so personal projects will have to take a backseat until Im settled.

    Most recently I was working on autonomous trading agents for games based off a blogpost and a research paper I read.

    The jist is that each agent is assigned a recipie of inputs and outputs (1 Lumber, 1 Iron in, 2 tools out) and a work cost time. Agents in a local marketplace attempt to purchase raw materials and sell their finished goods with each other. Each agent holds a belief about the price of all goods they're involved with. Trying to purchase wood, but having none available (Or the lowest available price is above what the agent is currently willing to pay), drives up the believed value of wood. Attempting to sell, but not being accepted, lowers confidence in the value, and thus the price, of the finished materials. The idea is that all the agents should settle on prices together dynamically, without being explictly set by the developer.

    I've not experimented with it thoroughly yet, but it has some interesting results, like a sudden shortage of wood making competing toolmakers drive their prices up quickly, and the knock-on effect of the lack of tools to produce other goods making things like food, or weapons more expensive over time.

    Im hoping to get back to working on it soon, and implement free agents, who move and trade between local markets, so that an agent doesn't nessecarily need to be in the same market (or planet in my idea) as the producer of their raw materials.

    That was a really enjoyable watch, I didn't expect to get drawn in so much.

    Haven't had time to sit down and do full size pieces in a while, so I've been drawing on post-its because they're a small and easy canvas to work with!

    Trying a new technique where I just start with nonsense random scribbles and marks and try to build an image out of that. I definitely recommend trying it, it really spurs the imagination and helps get over that "what the fuck do I draw" block.

    Love RPGs', but haven't got to play in ages (Between returning to college and general lack of time.

    My brothers' running a star wars d20 game at the moment and its gotten into that consistency niche and fairly stable, so Im hoping to join that. Was never a huge fan of d20 in general but the game is made by the group not the system. Can't wait to jump back into it!
