[AtsabTheForemost]

Hello and howdy.

My name is JP (or Atsab here will do; from a story of mine). I'm a non-traditional student (read: old [according to the 18-20 yos]), with three majors. I write, primarily sci-fi/ fantasy, and I have a thing for the grotesque so it all ends up with a bit of horror. I'm a conlanger (constructed language, like Dothraki in GoT). I'm interested in photography and the scribal arts; my interests have a tendency to undulate in concentric circles, so I also make my own paper and create books, and cartography seems like a reasonable next step.

I also DM/ GM/ ST for D&D 5e (...with some of my own Planescape and Eberron modifications), Numenera, and anything White-Wolf. Playing and creating board games is in there somewhere too.

Attached is the (unfinished) map I've been working on today; it's not indicative of my abilities in photography or the scribal arts, but alas. Considering I've never drawn or painted anything before, I'm pleased enough with it for the time being.

Welcome JP!

I see we have a lot in common, I too like the Dothraki language (I received the guide book and CD a year ago!) and the grotesque (you must love Baudelaire!).
I like you drawing style, it looks very natural. Hope you will like the Guild!

Thanks for the welcome Mimine!

I was fortunate to meet David Peterson when he came to a class at my university; he's friends with my professor, whose pen name is Sally Caves. So much so that he made the Dothraki word for "cave" "sally" (I'm not sure how it's spelled since I can't find it in a vocabulary list, he pronounced it like 'sal-lay'). Anyway, I got him to sign my Dothraki book, so good times.
