It's my dog's birthday :)

A photo of a brindle coated american staffordshire terrier. She is wearing a pink bandana that says "happy birthday to me", but it is impossible to read from the angle and how the material is bunched up.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

"Bite the hand that feeds you before it twists your little neck to cook you for dinner"

#Art #BirdArt #DNDArt #Ihk #Starling #TTRPGArt #OCSky #ArtSky #BskyArt #D&D #DarkArt

Digital drawing of my starling Birdfolk character Ihk. They're in the center, their head to the side and looking at the viewer with one eye. They're holding a normal european starling to their chest. It has it's wings spread slightly on Ihk. Two big hands of a woman are holding Ihk by his head and neck. One hand looks almost gentle on their face, framing Ihk's eye with her fingers. But the other hand is gripping around Ihk's neck. The woman's hands look older and labor worn. They're adorned with golden rings and around her wrists are golden and beaded bracelets. Her fingernails are very pointy and sharp, like claws. She's wearing white, wide sleeves. You can't see anything else of the woman other than her hands and a bit of her forearms. The drawing is framed by ears of grain. The background is dark, darker at the top and you can see more tall grain stalks.

Dealing with such nasty burnout that it looped around and I'm able to write again but not do much else. WILD

In your area, are part of the reasons outside of your control related to retention/no one retiring out? :'D That's part of the problem here, anyhow! I feel your pain.

I hope you find one that's a good fit for you soon. :)

Hi, for those who don't know, it doesn't matter one single iota if your project is "free". You do not have the rights to use art you find and distribute it. That's literally what licensing is for.
Your circumstance and goal has nothing to do with whether you are allowed to use anyone's art.

NO. IT. IS. NOT.
#art #ttrpg

Screencap from reddit.

"sorry I caught you off guard with the post. In the dnd homebrew space it isn't standard practice to gen in contact with artists for incorporation their work, provided that they are adequately credited and that the homebrew work is available for free, both of which are the case here."

Something about sharks and the smell of blood in the water.

Vina (they/them)

An illustration of an original character from the thigh up. Vina is a muscular, long haired person with almond-shaped eyes and tattoos. Their hands have a spreading ichor of their parasite, and their nose is bloodied. There is a glowing red halo of thorns over their head.

The Hanged Man.✨

I added the tarot layout and I really like it!

#Repostober
#Art #Ihk #DnD #OCSky #ArtSky #BskyArt

Digital drawing of a humanoid starling bird person hanging upside down by their foot. Resembling the tarot card "The Hanged Man". The sky is blue with white clouds behind them and below is a golden grain field with starlings flying in a swarm above it. The rope the person is hanging by is also made of wheat and appears to be attached to the golden bracelet they're wearing on that foot. Their left wing is folded and looks tidy. Their right wing is looking very rough. It's broken and hanging down into the grain. The feathers are visibly damaged. They are looking towards the floor on the side of their broken wing. There's a thin golden border framing the drawing like a tarot card. At the Top is a circle saying "XII" and at the bottom it says "The Hanged Man"

mein Gott I never posted cunty Estel... a travesty requiring immediate remedy!

Estel (he/him)

[ #dndart | #elfenjoyers | #ttrpgart | #oc ]

A rendered digital half-body illustration of my original character, Estel, a pale-skinned autumn eladrin man. He is sitting, one leg crossed over the other, with his hands on his hips. He is wearing a velvet crimson dress with a large slit up the leg, and which is adorned with pearls that shift from white to red. He wears a matching pearl veil over his nose and mouth, as well as a matching velvet red collar with a gold ring. He has long orange hair adorned with autumnal flowers, bright green eyes, and dark red makeup. He has gold tattoos on his hands. The background is a gradient from red to black, with a gold sunburst halo behind his head.
