For @exandriaartists.bsky.social 's art history style swab I painted Vax and Sylas based on a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau called "Dante and Virgil" This piece was an absolute blast to work on. #AHSS #CRAHSS #crfanart #sylasbriarwood #vaxildan #criticalrole

This turned out SO WELL! Absolutely worth the time, the light and the textures are on point.

"Enemies" to "enemies who bone". I love it. The pose and the expressions are so good.

I'm incredibly impressed by how masterfully you painted these ships. People putting their whole artistic passion into shit posts are my favorite people.

Iz @pryingblackbird.bsky.social · Apr 1

I'm trying to be "positive" and I'm so proud of myself and my artists friends. We're learning everyday and able to create with OUR OWN HANDS and think with OUR OWN BRAIN instead of using a shitty slop machine that makes hands with 7 fingers. We will always be better than that.💚

This looks like one of those marvelous fantasy book covers they used to do couple decades ago (John Howe comes to mind). The pose, the colors, the background. This is one of my favorite pieces of fanart of all time.

A solitary chair sits in a dark space illuminated by a moonbeam. Confetti litters the floor. On the chair, a glass of champagne, a party hat and a balloon with the number 10 on it.

It's not about what caused the fires. It's about why they are so devastating, which is the extreme drought in the months before and the insane winds blowing in from the desert, making the containment such a struggle. Yes fires happen every year, but they have never been this bad.

I feel this is the exact spirit we need to survive what's ahead. Stay strong.

Seeing far too many AI garbage images out in the real world. Here's your reminder that there are no ethical uses of this crap whatsoever. I don't care how you try to justify it to yourself, or how you think it's "just okay this once". There is no good in it, and a whole lot of bad.

Iz @pryingblackbird.bsky.social · Dec 5

I think you should add @romeofantome.bsky.social his art is amazing.
