We're approaching the final week of the campaign, but as you might have noticed, that doesn't mean things slow down on the creative side.

On my trip to Fantasy Basel, I sketched some bookmarks at last. I haven't decided yet which bookmark I will be making. Maybe I will use two designs for the front and the back?

I put the bookmark sketches into the concept art book file this morning. It was an excellent excuse to export what I have so far and share it with you as well <3

I have also been drawing outfits for all the kami, and picked the ones that suited the concept best while also giving a nice silhouette. For 22 designs, that went surprisingly fast! It is more difficult to actually stick to my picks... (Fun fact: The Chariot pin wears the design initially intended for The Strength, but I confused the numbers, so now it's just canonically The Chariot and I'll have to just make new designs for The Strength.)

Note that I rarely keep the layout of my books this plain, and the layout of the art book is definitely still changing!

If the Yokai Expansion Illustrations stretch goal becomes unlocked, I'll be doing these kinds of sketches for the yokai in the expansion as well. Of course, they will also be included in the art book.

And here's a preview of the enamel pin designs as they are currently displayed in the art book. I have included all enamel pin designs in the concept art book, with rough sketches, detailed sketches, and the final design.

With the art book steadily documenting every design choice, I have started to think that maybe, the initial A5 size (which would make it the same size as Portent itself) might not be absolutely necessary. Most of the art books I have on my bookshelf are a bit bigger. So I think I need your help once again!

Help me decide on which size the final concept art book should be in the poll at the bottom?

A lot of people might know me from my D&D adventures over on Kickstarter in the past. In true Kickstarter tradition, us creators like to give a shout-out to other projects we think are really cool. I've gotten to know the small and dedicated team behind Quill's Tiny Quests in the past and done some illustrations for them, and they have a new amazing project that I think some of you might like <3

City of Sirens is a 400+ page 5E campaign setting that throws Lovecraftian dread, BioShock-style retro-futurism, and Fallout-flavored dark humour into a blender. It's got 6+ fully realized districts, a city-builder toolkit, and a complete Level 1–7 adventure, all set in Angler's Den, a decaying post-apocalyptic port cursed by Change radiation and slowly consumed by the Pale, a radioactive fog bleeding upward from the ruins of an annihilated ancient civilization.

City of Sirens currently has 12 stretch goals (!!!) unlocked and is live on Kickstarter now.
