An angelic, pearly-white figure on the left seems to revive or heal an unconscious astronaut, surrounded by wreckage, on the right.

A portrait of the Witness from destiny 2 surrounded by ethereal, glowing petals and sparkling stars on its skin.

Acrylic on canvas, 2022. A landscape-style painting with an angelic figure on the left; its multicolor wing taking up the canvas. spears fly out from the point of the wing as it holds a flaming one in one hand. red hot fire surrounds the form's cool blues and greens.

Midra from elden ring's 2024 DLC. His hand is pulling one of six glowing gold blades from his head; with an echo of a hand in its later position slightly above it. His flaming head towers and curls to the left of the long image, and his cloak tendrils gleam with slight bits of emulated gold leaf.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers.

A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

and tbqh I am completely tired of masking, like it's almost a toxic positivity ? I can't lie in front of so many people and say that it doesn't feel hopeless all the time now 🙃

A scene after an Old Gods of Asgard concert, featuring a myriad of characters from Alan Wake and Control videogames.

Chaotic scene of the cast of characters from Control struggling to contain all the altered items and objects of powers.

Hawke walks into Kirkwall, assisted by Bethany and Fenris because she broke a leg. On the foreground, Varric and Merrill can be seen smiling at the scene in front of them.

So annoying when this happens. People would do this on my witness art like "you made it look better" no dawg I followed the actually good design 🫢 or "I hope [it] dies" UM?? 😐

I wish companies who are looking for 'content creators' would not say that they are looking for all kinds of creative content including art, writing/fanfic etc. when it's pretty obvious that actually they are only interested in streamers and video content.
