Last week’s post of the Fantastic Bestiary dealt with housespirits of ancient Rome. In this post we’re going to the far east, following up on another suggestion left by DD member marcorossi. We are going to study the Naga today. The Nagas are a race of serpentine beings ...

Holidays are approaching for roughly all mainstream religions, winter holidays for non-observers, and Christmas is generally the main theme for at least the western world. It's a festive season all around! People rush for Christmas shopping, make plans for vacations or leisure or gatherings, brace for meetings with the ...
On 'Fixing' Art
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 22, 2021
So the other day I came across a whole twitter quarrel between a famous Spiderman artist and an anonymous (potentially teenaged) “art fixer”.

From your neighbourhood slice-of-life to an out-of-this world space opera the world in which the characters inhabit draws the reader and keeps them invested in the character’s struggles. Here are some questions to consider when constructing your new universe.

Character Design Brainstorming: The Holy Man (or Woman)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 12, 2020
The Holy Man or Woman may be within the clergy, but that isn't necessarily the case.

Character Design Brainstorming: The Sorceress
