Mock cover of Renfred Maar and Izra in their official garments.

Maar in the popular game Hades style in a fake screenshot. Speech bubble says "Call me for some fun, or if you need me to kill someone for you."

Forest background, Fuli (red haired tiefling) and Garreth (brown furred wolfman) being very close. Garreth is brabbing at Fuli's ass, who is enjoying it and letting his jacket hang low, leaving his skin bare, marred with old scars and vitiligo.

Loving kiss between Valeriy (self insert) and Otto Apocalypse. Both are dressed elegant under a pink flowers canopy on a rooftop overseeing the skyline and sunset.

#PlotTober Day 14

I can't really talk about it, it'd be spoiler, but I can say it revolves around them showing their deep bond.

#PlotTober Day 14: Story endings

Answer the prompt on the card by quoting this post. Remember, answering a prompt is always optional. Even if you don't share it publicly, I hope the prompt encourages you to think about it privately.

#PlotTober - a WIP plotting game by @gunsmile.bsky.social

14. Now that you have some ideas of your story's beginning and the main character's goals & growth, can you come up with a few different story endings that would be satisfying for a reader?

Remember: Use the #PlotTober hashtag, engage with others, and have fun!

#OCtober Day 14: Nature

It's nice to just chill on the grass under a tree sometimes.

B&S sketch. Child Izra Maar and Renfred chilling on grass. Renfred and Izra look like they're sleeping while Maar is awake. Light around them suggests they're under a tree.

He's not an Hades OC, just one of the three protagonists of my book in Hades style because EVERYONE was doing it on my timeline so I figured "why not?" XD
I have the other two too!

Hi #portfolioday!

I'm Enrico (Yuner), I paint (digital & traditional) #fantasy, #sci-fi and #popculture subjects, with a focus on characters and portraits.

Works: book/album covers, card and ttrpg games.
Open for private commissions.

The Hermit, Major Arcana of Tarot: an old man floating on the top of a mountain holding a staff that makes energy flows from the ground and an owl spirit giving him the lamp of knowledge. Acrylic gouache on hot pressed cotton paper.

Portrait of a shirtless Prince who, with his eyes closed, points to the sky with one hand while three doves take flight on a purple background with some damask decorations and a gold frame. Digital painting.

Portrait of Pier Paolo Pasolini. In the center is a black and white portrait of the poet with his hands clasped in front of his mouth; below him is the white outline of his murdered corpse with a copious stain of red blood dripping from it; on the sides is a view of the sky from the beach with clouds spilling over, partially covering the portrait, painted with visible brush strokes. Around a white border on which, at the bottom, the dripping of blood continues.
Digital painting.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Sapling, a genderfluid watercolor painter and narrative illustrator~ 🌱

I love body diversity, especially queer, intersex, and disabled characters!

Comms: tally.so/r/3NNaJ0

Also, I’m moderating a queer zine with an open call for artists (paid) at @taplingzines.bsky.social 🩷

A watercolor painting of two Congolese male twins posed for a photo together at a club. One is shirtless, with paint on his skin and medium length turquoise ombre twists that partially cover burn scars around his eyes and upper face. His skinnier twin has long dreadlocks with hair jewelry, no scars, and blue lipstick with gold eye makeup. The background is a foggy blend of purples and deep blues.

A detailed watercolor painting of a dark-winged angel with brown skin and hair holding his injured lover on his lap. The injured angel has brown skin and hair, with damaged lavender wings and chest bandages. They rest together in the clouds, stained purple and yellow from a sunlight glow behind them.

A watercolor of the angel Chamuel snuggling a jackalope-dog-like creature with turquoise fur and pink wings curled up on the ground. The picture is cozy, with a soft gradient of deep teal, periwinkle, and light pink. Paw print stars track along the background.

An intricate watercolor painting of a reclining masculine figure with dark wings in barely any clothing, except stockings, underwear, and a translucently painted silky pink shawl. He has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and is crushing a rose onto his chest with a lifted and gloved hand. Giant pink orchids, painted with lovely realism, surround him. Some pink fabric falls to the right side, and detailed hand painted blue lace fills the background.

my computer and my little wacom because artists use tablets anyway and I'm "stubborn" to not do that?
I'll keep using my Jack Sparrow Photoshop, thank you very much.

🎃RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 21h

based on what YOU don't want to do.
Also, flourishing as artists using pirated Adobe is a much bigger slap in the face than just not using it imho.
I'm not changing what I fundamentally feel good using just because some random person told me I'm "stubborn". What next? You're gonna tell me to forgo

🎃RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 21h

1)I already struggle as an artist, I'm not adding more struggle by having to relearn the main tool I use to draw.
2)My version isn't bloated, glitchy nor messy and AI-free. Just get an older version.
3)I learnt it before it was bad to use it. If you don't use it good for you, but stop judging people

🎃RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 1d

Why do people assume that any Adobe suit user actually pays for it?

🎃RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 1d

Because 1) I've been using Photoshop since 2008 and I'm not learning a new program now
2) I have an older, AI-free version that's NOT connected to internet and to Adobe's network
and 3) what makes you think I've ever paid for any Adobe product?

It started as a sketch and it kinda spiralled into a full illustration
It makes sense for them to be making out in the forest as Fuli is a druid and Garreth is a ranger. They always find the softest grass to lie upon!

Not even Adam did tbh. He and Lute were the ones who hurt Vaggie and clearly remember that, but they were just as baffled to discover angels can be killed by angelic weapons.
Angels are taught they are invincible, so they couldn't see the answer right in front of them.

🎃RoryValArt 💛🤍💜🖤(VGen comms open) @roryvalart.bsky.social · 1d

Last one. It's easier to say it's a mistake than to admit they didn't get something. Those people want to be seen as clever so they prefer the narrative where they're the ones catching writing mistakes rather than the ones not getting what is pretty much obvious but not stated out loud.
