Over on the bad place, I started a pinned thread inspired by hitting my 65K issue milestone in my comics collection. Now at 85K, I've decided to rescue that thread and bring it over here.

Here are some highlights of my collection:

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like

Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives'

a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not'

so the funding disappeared??

and people are dying??

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Beware, A Mad Wizard @jhwilliams3.bsky.social · 3h

By the way, the admin caused US soybean farmers to lose sales to Argentina. Now China is buying soybeans from Argentina, not us. Yet we’re saying here’s a bunch of our tax money. An interesting fact, Orange Palpatine said the only way that money goes to them is if Milei wins re-election. Hinky as F.

So the Argentine bailout is now 40 billion of our tax dollars. And yet the GOP had to shutdown things because they say no money for healthcare ACA extensions. We are being grifted. Oh and >> Epstein files of course

Hey #PortfolioDay!
I’m Eren, fantasy illustrator and character artist. I’m interested in working in TTRPGs, TCGs, games and book covers.
I have done character design and illustration work for Critical Role and other AP shows.
Thank you!🙏

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

A modern day gorgon stares at the viewer. The snakes of her hair form a short bob and she has large snake themed earrings. She wears a light blue tweed jacket.

A gorgon flies through space on a crystal platform. She holds a lage staff with a crystal floating over it.

A mage looks at the viewer with a smug look. They have an elavorate gold collar with tassels and cape blowing in a wind.

A mage sits on a rock as they look into the distance over the landscape at the sky. Above are large beings of light traveling across the night sky through the clouds.
