I want my first Bluesky post to be showing off my Linda Belcher costume from Halloween, even though I am two weeks too late!
Sorry, not sorry.

I am here for another #portfolioday 👋

I am Teeg, and I like to draw a bunch of little weirdos. I am a character artist, illustrator and designer working in video and tabletop games. You can see more of my work and contact me through my site at teeketch.art

This is not morally or legally different than lining up two dozen men and shooting them in the face.

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance

Illustration showing the characters from my book Niketas and Ulvar, but mermaid AU where Niketas is a merman. They are both underwater and Ulvar is dying.

Illustration of a boy in a dark, spooky, nordic forest. The boy's eyes are blurred. Naked tall trees, their branches almost stretching towards him, towering him. A faint shape of a bird in the upper left corner. There are a few lights of eyes in the forest, watching him.

An easter witch flying on a broom towards Blåkulla, a cat is standing on it as well. Both have glowing yellow eyes, staring into the camera. Birds are flying around them.

I agree, but also worried about how long it will take our economy to recover after. The AI bubble is now 17x bigger than the dot com bubble and around 8x bigger than the 2008 surprime bubble. 🙀

That is why I wanted to go with it! 😊

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.
