I'm open for work and looking to take on new, shorter scale projects! I've done lots of #TTRPG work, music work, all kinds of display stuff and lots of other random things! If you like my stuff, hit me up! I'm good, fast and would love to chat!

Fictional beer mats! Always very fun to make! Give me some names and I'll try and make some more.

@toasterdotpng Thank you! I have a couple of tutorials that I've made https://t.co/ywWmFCHgdO

But a lot of it is just looking through lots of references and inspiraton.

Fictional sci-fi interfaces! These are always so fun to make!

A pair of election posters created for #OrbitalBluesAfterburn. Can't wait to see how these turn out in person.

@odds_and_ents This is a really great tip!

The first way to get text to look handwritten is to actually write it! This is my using a tablet to write something out myself. This only takes care of 1/5 of the entries on here though, as they all need to look different. 2/8

@LapisLunaris The typewriter ones are so fake looking!

[Josh Clark @tinywoodsman]

A personal pet peeve of mine is handwritten text that clearly looks like a non-diegetic font. I used a few tricks on this piece to ensure I got a number of different entries that all lookeds closer to handwritten

It's not perfect of course, but here's a few tricks I use.

I'd love to talk more granularly about all this. Maybe a new video in the future?

These are small touches but I really enjoy using them and I feel they do create an overall feeling of verisimilitude in a piece, even if they're not immediately noticeable. 8/8

[Josh Clark @tinywoodsman]

The main thing to remember is variety! Vary the thickness of lines, to indicate different pens, vary the spacing of letters, vary the angle of text (rarely do people write in an exact straight line) and vary the size of letters. 7/8
