Portrait of Gyr, a gryphon with white feathers that wears a silver winged helm with a unicorn horn, and a silver chestplate and wing covers. His eyes glow bright red as he casts magical lightning around him. (oc belongs to Severedfeather)

Artwork showcase of the characters I drew for a DnD manual: Lineages of the Long White Cloud vol 2. It features a ranger based on the harlequin gecko, a bard based on the kokako bird, a kakapo-bear creature, and a rogue based on the sacred kingfisher.

Playing card design featuring the two forms of Atlas the dragon (OC belongs to lyka-ios). In their default form, they have white feathers and golden horns. In their alternate form, they have black fur and dark horns.

Pixel art of Malzeno from Monster Hunter, in flight with its wings spread in front of a full moon. It has white scales, a gray underbelly, crimson wings, and golden horns, claws, and tail spikes.

“Thank you for coming, my knight.”

A little blue heron and a crow. The two birds‘ beaks touch and the crow lets out a little heart as they do.

The little blue heron is wearing a helmet, with its faceshield raised, and full plate chest armor.

The crow is perched inside of a cardboard castle. It's wearing a pointed hat with stripes and a long silk fabric twirling down from it. The crow also has on a lovely red bow with a bright red gemstone.

If you're located outside the EEA and were not one of the other regions I'm not shipping to but it won't let you check out, please message me! Chances are that when I manually added countries I might have accidentally forgot to click your to add it in. I promise it was not on purpose 😭

Rosemary ✨ Stained Glass Artist @breadsticc.art · 3d

My EBT card got locked just before I finished shopping for groceries today, so I had to put $50 on my credit card to get said groceries. Money hurts :')

If you'd like to help, my coloring pages and adoptables are 50-80% off! Otherwise, a repost helps a ton. ❤️

VGen shop listings. Digital stained glass coloring pages are on sale, originally about 5 USD, now less than 1 USD. Adoptables are on sale for around 17 or 12 USD, which is half off of their original prices.

Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that the Indigenous celebrated autumn harvests long before Europeans arrived?
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving a month earlier than the United States?
This is the story.

🧵1/10

A festive Thanksgiving dinner table featuring a roasted turkey as the centerpiece, surrounded by an array of dishes including green beans, stuffing, sliced ham, and a pumpkin pie. The table is decorated with pumpkins, sunflowers, candles, and autumnal flowers, with wine glasses and plates set for a meal.

Barring any further strike changes with Canadian mail, we should (hopefully) be fine. And just before I announce ita bag pre-orders open tomorrow!!

A good omen(????)
