DustVeil –
A Mystic Western RPG
Magic, gunpowder and legends collide on the frontier.
I am a musician, illustrator, and Game Master with over 30 years of RPG experience, going back to the AD&D era. Every part of this book — system design, writing, translation, layout, artwork, and trailer production — was created by me alone.
After suffering a stroke, I faced limitations, but it also gave me the time to finally complete this project. Because I am working without a team, I use AI tools to assist in image generation and animation, always based on my own drawings and art direction. AI was never used to replace artists, only to make it possible for a solo creator to finish a project of this scale.
The narrator illustrations are drawn in a classic 80s comic style, while the main artwork is inspired by 60s–70s western comics like Tex. I will also share making-of material showing the creation process.
By supporting DustVeil, you are supporting the work of a single creator doing the job of an entire studio.
