We're going fishing
Hey everyone and happy first of April!Today launches the least ferocious of Sol'Kesh creatures, the ruske is so wonderfully calm it will just peacefully float about allowing anyone and everyone to ride their back like some lazy river in the wild. Even when it's being attacked its slow to respond and its only defense is how bad it tastes. Thankfully the weapon that can be crafted from it is one of the fiercest!Follow the links below for Patreon Members that will get access to:Traveler Tier LinkAll previously released 5e Creature Stat Blo...

Hey everyone!Last week I shared the first Worlds Collide Collab with Stained Karbon and Fluffly Folio, well on the 15th of April Sol'Kesh gets a turn and all Traveler and Dweller members be receiving not only the Esslinter creature as a DnD 5e statblock and printable mini, but a map from the talented Stained Karbon Maps Patreon to go along with it for it's encounter! But before we get to that dessert, we need to finish our dinner which is the Ruske on April 1st. And while I love this slow moving crustacean that players can essentially s...
Tides Breath
Hey everyone!Here's a little showcase for March's second item, the Tides Breath. A craftable mask for breathing underwater and one of the more alien looking designs yet. And next month we'll hit 40 items! Such a milestone and just 12 short of a full playing card deck. I'd really love to do a pack of these for the eventual Kickstarter, but till then Traveler and Dweller Tier members can access them all.Have a good week everyone and I'll posting the preview of Aprils creature and the fun Patreon collab that will include it sh...

The Creep that Crawls
I'm beginning to realize that the Sol'Kesh bestiary has quite a lot that crawls. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, or that It'll stop anytime soon...just that there are a lot.So allow the icullus to crawl into your hear with its release today! This beasts resides in the Blackwells biome (caves) and spends its time prying creatures off of ceilings and walls with its long toxin-laden pincers.Now while this not-slug is all well and good, what's best about this release is the item made with its craftable parts and the Da...
Wayward 56 - Finally Turtles
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!I have truly done an injustice to the turtle community and have yet to do any turtles on Sol'Kesh (though the argustaur is kind of close). So today I rectify that with the capstone tortoise, a gentle beast that's just looking for a good moldy bite to eat in the unlit catacombs of the blackwells biome.Traveler and Dweller members can find the high res image in their dropbox links and may the weekly wayward sketches continue! (but may take a break again as I'm starting the next big colored biome illust...
The Frondilli Miniature creeps out of the woods
Hey all you wonderful Patrons, WorldShaper finished testing the Frondilli mini and the STL files are ready for the Dweller Tier Members! (available here:)I hadn't realized the exposed bladed bonejaw would give such a creepy look to the deer, and I love it. Beyond Sol'Kesh, this deer could fit well as a familiar for some Spore-Druid or Necromancer with a love for some undead nature.Now onto the next creature! Have a good rest of the weekend everyone-Terry

Crawling into Spring
Hey everyone,I'm really happy to finally release the Frondilli. It's actually the first creature that I ever drew harvest items for, so it's waiting a long time to step out of the woods.And accompanying this timid deer is a much requested item from the one and only Delta2Squared from our Discord group (link is here!) a ghillie suit, for maximum nature stealth!Now to the content. Today Patreon Tiers will get access to:Traveler Tier All previously released 5e Creature Stat Blocks & TTRPG Tokens All previously released Craftable Item C...
Wayward Journey - Amberdale
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!The effort to flesh out more biome illustrations for the book continues! This is Arborn, found nestled at the foothills of the Splitspine mountains, this slightly isolated wealdwood (that's the name of the forest biome) hosts a few large fauna while it hides entrances to the cavernous center of Sol'Kesh island.Traveler and Dweller Tier members will find this high res illustration in their Wayward Folder Thanks again to everyone for the support and just being an awesome community here!
March Preview -
Hello everyone!March is fast approaching and two more creatures are set to join in on the Bestiary.In a few days a new creature will step out from the wealdwoods, the timid and jaw-bladed frondilli. This skittish creature will provide a much requested craftable item from discord so I can't wait to show it off. (feel free to join the discord group here > link)And then on the 15th, a less timid creature will crawl from the slick stone rocks of the river beds or wet underbrush detritus to snatch unwary players in its pincer grip.So stay tuned ...
First interview ever for Sol'Kesh thanks to Geek Native
Hey everyone I'm really happy to share a spotlight interview from Geek Native on the bestiary.Their own Patrons voted for Sol'Kesh to be featured this month, which is just an awesome surprise. I had a great time talking to their author Andrew Girdwood on everything Sol'Kesh.This type coverage momentum has a lot to do with you all here, without your support, absolutely amazing activity on discord, I'm just some guy drawing monsters in a room alone. So thank you.- Terry
Wayward 55 - Chonk Evolved
Usually my wayward sketches are rough sketches just to add a bit of a flavor into Sol'Kesh and help flesh out all the resource gathering or minor fauna found in the land for the book. But then this weekend I started sketching this little dudes face and had no choice but to put in the effort. So say hello to the murmo, its a feline that basically just tumbles through the air, gliding on thick furred membranes that are neatly folded up under thick fur in the sketch here.Traveler/Dweller Members will find the high res art in the Wayward folder...

Springs Herald
So maybe in your corner of the world spring is starting, the flowers are blossoming and the birds return to the warmth and sunshine of the greener landscapes... Not up here in Montreal, which is still locked under snow and ice. But for you and your warm, happier world, the Bloomux arrives to herald the burgeoning nature and field of flowers!This massive insect (cow sized) grew large on the abundant flowers fields of the Valedayn, swelling its honeywomb to create a safe haven for its larvae to swim and mature...until it gets started and explodes...
Wayward 54 - Crawing Back!
After a long hiatus, Wayward Sketches are back! Descending from the depths of the Blackwells, the spurrook heralds a hopefully steady schedule of weekly wayward sketches once again.Honestly I just stopped drawing with a pencil since December, and it felt so good to get back to it. It's important to sometimes just get away from these screens and settle back into what I first fell in love with for drawing, paper and pencil.As always Traveler and Dweller members can find this image in the Wayward folder, and if you haven't already, come on...
Wayward Journey - Drowned Hollows
Hey everyone! I am just so relieved to finally finish this environment illustration for the Blackwells Biome. I started this during the christmas break, and it turned into such a deep dive of lighting and getting the scene depth right.You can definitely say I got lost in this cave.But nearly 2 months later I have it done! and now that's 4 out of the 6 biomes coloured illustrations completed for the book, woo. Patron members will find this in the Wayward folder in their dropbox links and now I'm off to tackle the next biome illustration,...
Spin that Drafian
Hey everyone! When I draw my creatures, they're often just floating about the void of the Journal look and more and more I've been trying to give them a bit more of a base in the drawing to better showcase the environment.Wellllll Worldshaper is the master of that when he sculpts the minis, I love how the drafian is crawling along the branch here in this month's release.Have a good rest of the week!
The Drafian is Ready to Glide
Hey all you Dwellers out there, the test prints came out pristine and you'll now find in dropbox the STL files to print your own Drafian and its base.Dweller Tier Members can use this link to get all the files they need >> LINKThanks again to Worldshaper for the awesome sculpt!

A month of giant bugs!
Once a humble inch worm with the dreams of flight, the drafian has evolved, not through the natural selection of eons but through my unadulterated hubris! And although its 5e rules were good and done as a tiny creature, I just had to make this something the players could ride through the air. To justify why it's so big I've had to update its journal entry and I regret nothing! so please enjoy this massive bug,and the whip you can fashion from its toxic silk and a calitross claw.Now to the content! Today Patreon Tiers will get access to:...
February Preview - The Bugs are Back...and Bigger
Hey everyone!February is fast approaching and we have some new beasts on the way, and not just new but super sized.Originally the Drafian was about the size of a real life caterpillar, gliding about from tree to tree without a care in the world.... then I did the preview image above and thought...why not make this thing big enough to ride. And so the D&D rules and journal have been updated to make this leaf-gobbling monstrosity large sized, to fit right along side the Bloomux who will release on the 15th that's also a large sized insect. Ma...
2023's Best Beast Poll Results
Happy New ---- ehh maybe a bit late, but I did want to showcase the results with the actual item that goes with the winning beast from the end of the year vote.Thanks so much to everyone voted, I actually thought the Bearded Draffer was going to win until the Sacrissian came running in and just ripped it apart...democratically of course.So to use a new harvestable part of the Sacrissian's Sclerotic Bone and some paste from the Lanceleth we get this fun new drug.While Harvest Cards are usually Patreon-member only, I'm releasing this one ...
