Sunday night relaxation. Not sure if I'll beat OG OoT before the remake releases but that's ok. It's such a good game to take your time in.
It's sometimes a little embarrassing seeing my initial sketches along side the awesome end product from our artists. However, it is my design and I can't help feeling an immense sense of pride seeing my creatures getting the love and attention they deserve.
At 6 weeks its hard to see, but look at my little jelly bean! Baby is small but had a strong heart at 114 BPM, strong like dad 💪😤
Removing AI from your feed with 4 of my designs used to create these 4 magnificent illustrations of Chronikin in our upcoming TTRPG -art done by instagram.com/mikren_art?mdx…

Chronikin come in all shapes and sizes, and also apparently this as well 😄
Chronikin Spotlight: Though just recently archived, Basheklet is believed to be one of the first Chronikin to appear in the physical world. Its utterly alien appearance stumped researchers and it was originally mistakenly identified as a Prosaic. However, discovering that it could be bonded with erased any doubt of its nature as a Chronikin. The undulating mass of purple liquid seems to contain no internal body, though it does appear to have celestial bodies within its dense interior. The tendrils that sprout from its pooled body can create constructs and thus Basheklet is tied to many creation myths. Despite it's lack of facial features, the few who have encountered one say its emotions can be felt, though how Bashaklet accomplish this is unknown.

Chronikin Spotlight: Korachnora are an arboreal species of Chronikin. They are often mistaken for fruit due to their habit of perching on the boughs of healthy strawberry trees, sometime staying motionless for hours. However, if disturbed they quickly skitter away deeper into the canopy, even jumping from tree to tree. Though arachnid in appearance, their body upon closer inspection has more plant-like features. Instead of a chitinous exoskeleton, their legs are smooth and hard like the bark of the aforementioned Strawberry tree, while their abdomens are spikey and rough.
Though sometimes observed to be curious, they are typically easily startled and stray away from people and civilization. Preferring to make their homes in the thick spots of forests dotting the Deolis wilderness.
We sat down to do a session zero with my family yesterday and my daughter was being an absolute pill, and my son kept interrupting. So, I told them that we weren't going to continue because they weren't being respectful and I dont want to GM for players that wont respect me like I do them. My daughter was especially sad. So when I came to bed, I found this on my nightstand 😢 I had a talk with her and we're going to try again next weekend.
Finding a good artist is so pivotal in nailing an art direction. We searched high and low to find the right one that could bring our Chronikin to life. She's honestly phenomenal. instagram.com/stories/mikren…
Absolutely proud with this one. Galdmara is a personal favorite. Its Norse and Icelandic influences run pretty deep.
Chronikin Spotlight: Galdmara are often regarded with superstition and distrust. Their twitchy movements, uncoupled eyes and nocturnal scurrying lead many to see them as pests at best and bringers of chaos at worst. They are some of the few wild Chronikin that actually seek out human settlements. Many equate a surge of nightmares as a sign of a Galdmara infestation as it's believed that they are able to somehow derive nutrition from ‘consuming’ bad dreams and thus, cause people to suffer from them. However, some Norfmenn take the opposite approach, seeing Galdmara as a good omen. Those that have had their nightmares consumed report feeling restful and at ease. Some have even claimed mental ailments being cured after this experience. Chronikin researchers have found themselves in a sort of “chicken and the egg” situation, not knowing if the Galdmara are a cause of the nighttime distress or merely attracted to it. When threatened, Galdmara can hypnotize its attacker, the colors on its back pulsating in eerie waves.

I know I'm not able to produce the quality of art I want for Chronicles of Myth, but I really do like my designs 😅

Chronikin spotlight, Dyrekkr: Dyrekkr are ferocious, dimunitive predators that will savagely attack anything encroaching their territory. They embody much of the harsh wilderness that they roam, solitary hunters with an ancient allure. Many tribes of the Norfjal highlands revere Dyrekkr as a symbol of strength and conquest. Despite their ferocity and unpredictability, Dyrekkr are popular as partners for even fledgling Archivists of Norfjal, those mastering their bond rising to a higher status amongst their peers.
It's finally happening. What was it those Marvel guys said? We're in the endgame now 😎
