Friends, I MADE A BOOK! (link in bio) Expedition Log is a fictional travel journal based on the works of cartographer and worldbuilder, Paths Peculiar. It recounts the fortunes and misfortunes of a mysterious voyager in search of a legendary lost library.

Paths Peculiar merchandise finally here! A lot of you guys have been asking about buying t-shirts with Paths Peculiar designs, and I'm happy to announce that I've finally made official gear available for purchase. Check my bio for a link to the web shop!

Was in the mood for colour pencils, so had a go at my previously black-and-white Death Guard insignia. Bonus throwback; my old plague marine. 🪰 🦠 💀 #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #deathguard

Throwback to Perchburrow Point. Love this little salt-stained outpost at the edge of the great sea. 🌊 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #handdrawn #inkart

A postcard from the Greenbottle Crones in Wraithbog 🪰 🍄 🧪 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn #isometric #map

”Walk peculiar paths, find peculiar places” is my kind of artistic … motto, I guess? Anyway, tried out my newly drawn ”skull frame” with the phrase. #handdrawn #inkart

Drawing this was an incredibly stupid idea. Doing it with a bloody fountain pen was truly moronic. #inkart #handdrawn #skulls

I’m not anti-AI. I like MRI machines. I like collision avoidance systems in airplanes. I like software that can detect cancer before a doctor can. I like machine vision systems that stop factory workers from getting their hands crushed in hydraulic presses. That’s what computers are supposed to do. Cold. Precise. Mechanical. I don’t need a technology to “express itself.” The problem started when Silicon Valley decided the machine should paint. The machine should write poetry. The machine should compose symphonies and generate films and imitate the human soul like a skinwalker wearing a beret. Now every ad, every song, every image online has this faint chemical aftertaste to it. Like the entire culture is being slowly replaced with synthetic substitutes because executives realized audiences consume slop at the same rate they consume art. And the worst part is they call this “democratizing creativity.” No. Creativity was already democratized. A guy with a guitar and 3 friends in a garage could make something beautiful. A college kid with a cracked copy of Photoshop could make an album cover that changed someone’s life. What they actually democratized was content production. Factories. Throughput. Infinite generation. A machine can diagnose my low testosterone. Fine. I just don’t want it writing the eulogy.

Darkest Dungeon devs say they were given permission to copy deceased narrator's voice with AI but would never do it. "I would never, ever erode his incredible and timeless performances by teaching a machine to sound like him. His voice and delivery was human, and I'm forever grateful I got to write for him." kotaku.com/darkest-dungeon-d…

Please feel free to peek into my world. Have a seat by the hearth, a mug of ale and let us spend the night sharing stories of ancient realms, fickle gods and peculiar paths. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #worldbuilding #handdrawn

We didn’t “lose” physical media. We walked away from it. The shops still exist. The discs, the vinyl, the collections, all still there waiting. Streaming is easy. Owning something is meaningful. If you miss it… support it.

[work-in-progress] Starting to see the finish line on this little worldbuilding project. It’s been a fun draw! 🏰 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #isometric #handdrawn #ttrpg

Work-in-progress. Haven’t drawn isometric in a while, and was in the mood for some worldbuilding. So here’s some kind of keep or mansion. Perhaps an inn? #isometric #drawing #handdrawn #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

A couple of sword designs and an hourglass. Damn, chains are *so hard* to draw. ⛓️⚔️⏳ #handdrawn #inkart #fantasyart #sword

Please note that this t-shirt uses art by me without my permission. I am not in anyway affiliated with the company Bold Boneco. It's hard to protect yourself from stuff like this, but boy it sucks when you see it.

Working on my upcoming dungeon adventure "Arkabad". I hope to release a digital "alpha" version quite soon. hopefully in a few weeks. #osr #dnd #ttrpg

world's only first-person sheet of paper

The Bulette’s Barrel was one of the first isometric drawings I made, and while it’s a bit crude I still have a soft spot for it. These old drawings were formative for the style I have today. #isometric #cartography #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn

”They shall not pass!” There are currently many evil men around that needs to go back to the shadow. Or rather get dragged out and into the light. #handdrawn #fantasyart #lotr
