Ornate steampunk giant spider looms beside a caged woman watched by witches in a moonlit misty swamp
This eerie dark fantasy artwork is set in a fog-shrouded moonlit cypress swamp under a full glowing moon. A massive mechanical bronze steampunk spider with glowing teal eyes dominates the left foreground, while a blonde woman kneels trapped inside a hanging rusted iron cage observed by hidden witches peeking from mossy twisted trees. The mood is whimsically sinister, with a cool muted blue and dark green palette accented by tiny warm candle glows scattered across the bog.

haha yep, it's all part of his backstory/existential dilemma; is the person that he is now, the one that woke up in an ancient druid grove "Glint", or is his body that is 40k years old the real person and he just can't remember?

JMN

haha I'll think about it, panosπŸ˜‰. This version of Glint is usually reserved for playing D&D IRL. Maybe I'll make a mini-series about the ending of my last campaign and the one-shot he was in.

JMN

πŸ˜…oh no~ I guess the upside is whenever Glint is in his Spider form, he is pretty good at hiding/stealth; so he scares less people?πŸ˜…

JMN

than the desert lady? πŸ˜‚ fair enough. yeah this is my D&D character Glint in his Giant Wolf Spider form.

NielsCarlsen

this is not looking good for her but she's still laughing. has she a hidden Ace?

JMN

haha yepπŸ˜‚ by my calculations it is somewhere between 150 years or 40 thousand years agoπŸ€–

panos

Whatever you choose to present to us here, my friend! It will be wellcome!

panos

So, that's the bait, huh? Well, Glint wasn't born yesterday... πŸ’₯

panos
