It took me 3 weeks, but she's finished!

This is Pruella (Aka Proo), my first ever D&D character from many years ago. I miss playing as her a lot.

There are things about this that i think could be improved. But I needed to get her done, and actually finish a drawing for once. #DnD #CharacterArt

Artwork for my D&D Character, Pruella Woodsoul, AKA Proo. Who is a half elf battle master fighter. She has messy, curly copper coloured hair, fair skin, green eyes and freckles. She is wearing brown studded leather armour, made up of a chest plate, gambison, knee length boots, and shoulder paldrons. her cloak is is a a purplish maroon colour, andn has many visible tears and small holes. She is carrying 2 swords, one of which is glowing red hot as if the blade is newly forged.

Drawn in Infinite Painter for Android.
Filter and watermark applied in Snapseed.

A close up of Proo's head and shoulders from the previous image, and with less Snapseed editing.

WHY IS THIS EVEN A SETTING?! Any streamer who makes their subscribers watch ads (you know, apart from people tricked into it like Guy was) is never getting a subscription out of me.

Take the clown statue and get out! WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS!!! @brainmage.bsky.social · 1h

Holy shit. In Dashboard>Monetization>Ads> Advanced settings is a new option **WHICH WAS AUTOMATICALLY SET TO OFF**, for "Enable subscribers to have ad-free viewing"

CHEEKY FUCKERS!

See, you started saying "the trans debate" instead of transphobia, and now you're saying "race debate" instead of racism.

The sooner you go bankrupt, the better.

I’ll say it: the Prime Minister is a criminal who should be clapped in irons and marched to a prison cell for the rest of his natural, with his predecessor, and he knows very well that he is, and that’s why all of his ministers are out squealing drivel on TV to distract attention.

Apropos of nothing, just been reminded of this and now it hurts to breathe. You're welcome.
#StarTrek #TNG #STTNG #Science

Six panels, in the first a shuttlecraft from Star Trek Next generation is *awfully close* to a star of some kind. Let's call it an F-type, it'll either get the Trekkers nodding in approval or absolutely enraged. But then what doesn't.

Second panel, Beverley Crusher is at the controls of the shuttle, saying "Computer, notify me if external temperature gets too hot"

Third panel, computer text goes " *BEEP BEEP* PLEASE DEFINE "HOT" "

Fourth panel, Beverley Crusher responds "Let's say, 1.9 million Kelvins."

Fifth panel, titled Later: Picard is stood at his replicator, saying "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
The computer responds, as it always does, "*BEEP BEEP*"

Sixth panel, SCREENSHOT FROM TERMINATOR TWO OF PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY BY NUCLEAR BLAST. IT'S JUST A SKELETON AND FLAMES, UNBELIEVABLE HEAT, BURNING, INCANDESCENCE, EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND ORANGE AND BURNING AND PICARD'S FAVOURITE MUG IS NOW PLASMA. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW, AS HIS BRAIN IS NOW AEROSOL FORM, AT BEST.
It's all a bit toasty, basically.

I'm generally of the opinion that there are too many emoji,*but* one that I wish they would add is one that's like the NotLikeThis emote on Twitch

It's something I find myself wanting to express quite frequently, and there just isn't an emoji that works for it.

The way people chase The Algorithm on YouTube is such a cargo cult.

Ten years ago someone said that if you put a red arrow in your thumbnail, you get more views, and people are still doing it with no rhyme or reason.

The start: "Zohran Mamdani runs for Mayor of New York."
The end: "PRESIDENT BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN"

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

Rats have swarmed around him, chewing the ropes that hold him down. This illustration is featured in "Sticker Jigsaw: The Edgar Allan Poe Collection" for Macmillan Books.

A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

Also, Alex having tears in his eyes and trying not to lose it at an accidental innuendo across the table tells me he is going to fit in just fine. #criticalrolespoilers. I don't know if that's a spoiler really, but may as well tag it.

CursèdZebra @cursedzebra.bsky.social · 6d

Finished the first episode of #CriticalRole Campaign 4.

So far my runaway favourite is Tyranny. Whitney crushed it.

I think I'm going to like Marisha's character a lot too, but need to see more.

Neither of these opinions will be shocking to anyone who knows me, I'm sure.

This is the big thing here. They will try literally anything but making the sport cheaper and easier to watch.

I think (?) the cheapest way of watching #f1 in the UK is Now TV? And it's still really expensive and also fucking suuuucks as a service.

Dre Harrison @dreharrison.bsky.social · 6d

We can watch hours of streamers at a time, because it can be background noise, or we can lock in according to taste.

People watch highlights because it's accessible. Watching an F1 season legally in the UK is going to cost you over £300 in extra Sky fees.
