A digital illustration of a Moss, a triton with spotted skin, fins for ears and dark hair, eyes closed underwater, light leaving patterns along his face. A digitally illustrated sheet of Moses "Moss" Denai, a pale grey-green triton with dark green patterns along his face and body and black, mid-length wavy hair. On the left hand side, he stands, front-facing, in his bronze and green armor and magetech tail. On the righthand top side is a portrait of him facing 3/4 offscreen, smiling. On the righthand bottom side is him, shirtless, grinning as he salutes the viewer. An illustration of Erik, the docksman, sits on the dock, gently caressing Goro, the merfolk's chin as they look cheerfully at one another under the night sky overlooking the sea. Two page comic of Erik taking his shirt off due to the summer heat and Goro reacting very favorably to the view. Speech bubbles: Erik: "Gods?! It's freakin' Hot?!" Shay: "Erik, do you not have summer clothes? Fahlen @ Shay: "Hold Still." Erik: "Come on now, who needs summer clothes?" Shay: "You should really get something lighter to wear." Erik: "I mean, I could put it back on-" Goro: "Please keep your shirt off." Erik: "Wut?"

#BellsHells and the Blue Dream of #Exandria.

I made this fan poster for @criticalrole.bsky.social ‘s 10th anniversary!

#criticalrolefanart #criticalrole
The adventuring party of Bells Hells stands together in a line, facing away from camera. Imogen floats above them crackling with lightning. They stand in the mouth of a cave looking out onto the red, alien landscape of the moon Ruidus. Above them, the world of Exandria looks in the starry sky. It is blue and vast

Today is my birthday and also day 19 of being in the hospital with a severe illness. I'm going to be greedy and wish for 2 things for my birthday: to have a full recovery, and for as many folks to see my artwork as possible today. 💚 Care to give this a repost to make that second wish come true?
Three deer are lined diagonally across the canvas. The first deer is a pale skeleton, the second a dark apparition with coiling smoke flowing from it's body, and the third is a translucent skeleton. The deer are linked by a strange smoke that flows through their eyes, and the tines of their antlers are interlocked. This drawing was inspired by Pneuma by Tool. A commission for bardybirdy featuring the OC Errai. A drawing of a dragon posed against a starry blue night sky. The dragon is mostly dark shades of blue and purple with golden accents. She has large feathered wings and a curved crystal horn. Her neck curls around a comet, her golden claws gently caressing the comet's tail. The radiant light of the comet casts serpentine rays that mimic the stylized flow of her mane. The moss-covered skeleton of an ancient unicorn stands motionless with a moth resting on it's skull. The creature appears to be able to see through the eyespots on the moths wings. This OC belongs to SpiritSai and is the Demigod of Light in SpiritSai’s worldbuilding project. A drawing of a horse-like creature in an elegant floating pose. The creature has a long tail covered in gilded scales and tipped with silken hair. Her wings are yellow and blue with large scales on it’s back. Her legs are plated in the same gilded scales and end in golden cloven hooves with gold dewclaws. Her horn is curved like a scythe, and her dragon-like whiskers zigzag into the sky above her. She is surrounded by a divine glow as shooting stars cascade in the background.

the sandman character death was based on a woman named cinamon hadley, a salt lake city goth scene icon who early sandman artist mike dringenberg was friends with when they lived there at the same time. is "friends" the right word? it's the word she used:
