Drewly 2026: Knotted Wooden Staff

Knotted Wooden Staff

Knotted Wooden Staff: A stout wooden staff with a handle worn smooth by generations of archdruids.

----------

I’m a fan of the understated artifact. In the post WarCraft fantasy gaming world, artifacts and interesting items need to be gonzo objects that are filled with visual flourishes. Sometimes we should slow down and make a simple object the center of our attention.

What is Drewly?

Drewly is the month-long art challenge where you don’t make any new art. Just celebrate all the art you’ve already made, finished or not.

How do I join?

Share whatever work you’d like, however you’d like to share. Tag your posts #Drewly #Drewly2026 #Drewly26.

Drewly 2026: Ankh Staff

Ankh Staff

Ankh Staff: The foundling babe that would eventually rise to fame as a rain caller and wind speaker was discovered wrapped in a cloth marked only with an ankh. They have taken the symbol as their own, upholding its meaning in place of any family traditions.

Drewly 2026: Voidstone staff

Voidstone staff

Voidstone Staff: The crystal atop the staff contains an unstable voidmote that leaks the entropic energies of the void into the material realm. Those volatile energies are hateful to living things and would consume an unprepared wielder.

----------

Jaws of the Lion was an excellent infection vector for Gloomhaven proper. I haven't had the time to really dive in deep, but it gave me the itch and I’ll eventually play through the entire Gloomhaven big box ecosystem.

Drewly 2026: A new back for my custom cards

A new back for my custom cards

Card Back: I updated the card back I drew for my first set of cards way back in 2018. I also added my name to get more comfortable signing and taking credit for my work.

The Minish Cap: We are gonna stay BFFs forever!

We are gonna stay BFFs forever!

Kinstone Piece: Kinstone fusion is a mighty force for change in the Minish Cap and Link needs the right piece to fuse kinstones at the right time. Kinstone pieces come in four different colors and various different shapes. Link is gifted pieces, finds pieces, buys pieces, and sometimes earns new pieces for fusing Kinstone pieces.

Others might say they are going to be best friends forever and mean like a really long time. I mean forever when I say forever. These charms link two souls together permanently, or as long as they are intact.

----------

Being a BFF is a serious commitment, but sharing art for Drewly doesn’t have to be.

Drewly 2026: My first wand

My first wand

Pencil Wand: The first magic many practice is conjuring up fantastical creatures and fabulous places upon a blank page with a simple pencil. Most turn away from such magic, but it has been a great joy to me for most of my life. I am no master, but the act of creation is worthwhile no matter how practiced.

Drewly 2026: A wicker wand

A wicker wand

Rug Beater Wand: For the clean obsessed mage that also must give fools a solid whack upside the head, the rug beater makes an excellent focus for arcane power and primal rage.

----------

Not my favorite drawing at all, but I often say, “Drewly is about sharing and celebrating all the work you’ve made, not just the stuff you like.”

Drewly 2026: A Waxy Wand

A Waxy Wand

Candle Wand: This unassuming candle burns endlessly and can be lit or extinguished with a mere thought. The bookish mage that keeps this as their wand knows that there are more traditional ways of using magic to illuminate reading rooms, but they loathe the unnatural glow of witchlight.

Drewly 2026: Spinster’s Wand

Spinster’s Wand

Spinster’s Wand: A spinster is an unmarried woman who spins thread, and it is thrown around idly as an insult as it must be the ultimate goal of every woman to be married as soon as possible. This spinster couldn’t be bothered to marry because she was teaching herself to see the invisible threads of magic and spin them into spells, charms, and hexes.

----------

This is another wand from the domestic mage set of wands. I enjoy my wands project alot because really anything could be a wand if you wanted it to be.
