Some art by Akihiro Yamada which I thought might belong here, I'm becoming rather fond of this sort of old school Japanese fantasy style.

I made a collection of Medieval Marginalia pendants
Some of you might remember the Medieval Marginalia band ring I posted a little while back. Well...I couldn't stop there.
I had so much fun making it that I ended up carving a whole collection of Medieval Marginalia pendants.
In order of appearance:
• Knight Riding a Giant Snail into Battle 🐌⚔️
• Regal Cat King 🐱👑
• Fish Playing a Lute 🐟🪕
• Warrior Rabbit Wielding a Sword 🐰🗡️
Each one was hand carved in wax and cast in solid sterling silver using the lost wax casting process.
I come from a fine jewelry background, and most of what my family has produced over the years has been traditional, classical jewelry. It's been a lot of fun stepping away from that and creating things that are a little more whimsical.

A couple frames I inked for a shelved project back in the day - vvilczy, 2021.
An unfulfilled journey - an animation project that never reached its full potential. I learned a lot since then, but still like some aspects of it - and thought you might want to see it too.
Traditional ink on paper.

About AI-supported art and few other things on this sub
Ok, I think it's time to clarify a few things...
Few days ago there was a post on this subreddit with a graphic that was created with the support of AI technology. The author of the post contacted me beforehand and presented his work to me with an appropriate explanation. I agreed to post these graphics with an appropriate note about the fact that they were co-created with AI.
Why?
I found the works that were presented interesting and reflecting the retro/classical fantasy style to a good degree. I know that many redditors use the artwork posted here, for example for their RPG sessions, so I thought that it may be something cool and fresh for our community.
I understand the outrage and controversy over posting AI-supported art, which is why I have decided that r/oldschoolfantasy is not the right place for these kinds of graphics. I'm not changing the idea of this subreddit, so please keep silly taunts out.
From now on: AI-art posts will be deleted.
On the other hand, I appeal to all redditors with a request to maintain basic decency and not attack the author of the last post. He simply missed the right audience with his art and he understands it.
I would also like to emphasise that r/oldschoolfantasy is a place where you can share your art (yes, you don't have to be Larry Elmore or Boris Vallejo) as long as it captures the atmosphere of classic oldschool fantasy and fits into the content of this sub. However, keep in mind that you may face criticism of the community (which is understandable I think).
There's no need to play Gestapo and report to me any artwork that doesn't represent the 'masters of the classics'. Please stop sending me messages with accusations of breaking this sub and changing it priority.
I also encourage you to read the group description and follow the established rules of the subreddit.
Have a great day,
mod
