Digital painting inspired by the game Disco Elysiium

Digital painting. A cover for a comic I created. The painting is intricate and textured like an illuminated manuscript. At the center, Griffith from Berserk is framed. The text above him reads: "When I was a child, I watched a man dismember a dove."

A digital illustration of a person wearing ice skates lying on the floor. They are surrounded by many pairs of legs also donning ice skates. The colors are neon and the background is black. The person on the floor has their hand around an ankle and look up offscreen.

A digital painting inspired by My Chemical Romance's song "Helena". The text at the bottom reads "So long and good night"

A modern day gorgon stares at the viewer. The snakes of her hair form a short bob and she has large snake themed earrings. She wears a light blue tweed jacket.

A gorgon flies through space on a crystal platform. She holds a lage staff with a crystal floating over it.

A mage looks at the viewer with a smug look. They have an elavorate gold collar with tassels and cape blowing in a wind.

A mage sits on a rock as they look into the distance over the landscape at the sky. Above are large beings of light traveling across the night sky through the clouds.

I'm (slowly) building my own world!

Collage of two digital paintings.

image on the left: Digital painting of a man called The Wanderer. His hair is short and white, with a teal green streak on the left bang, he has brown skin, and his brows and goatee are white. His left eye is also icy white, he has pointy ears, and he is wearing a feather shaped earring.

He is wearing a hooded open vest, showing his bare chest, two elbow length gloves with both hands out. He has a sling bang and an obsidian black sword in a sheath hanging from his belt.

His loin-cloth is teal colored and has a fish-tail shaped train on the back. Underneath is a pair of blue pants, and he is wearing a pair of cream colored boots with white and teal parts.

His expression is serious and determined.

The background is a vibrant blue sky with clouds on the horizon, and the ground he's standing on is a shoreline with the water directly mirroring the sky.

Image on the right: Digital painting scene of an aquatic humanoid warrior, perhaps leading a battalion of other merfolk and aquatic warriors into an attack on land.

The warrior general has thick, scaly silver skin, adorned in gold armor and plating, and he's wielding a giant golden axe with an odd shape. He's standing on an elevated rocky platform covered in moss, with three aquatic creatures surveying the attack alongside him.

The creatures in the foreground have humanoid bodies, but heads of fish and merfolk. The same species of creatures can be seen rallying in the background. Lastly, there is a giant serpent towering the scene in the far back, it is pale in color, and it seems like it has a man-made golden structure attached to its face, like a helmet of sorts.

Digital painting of a merfolk-monster mutant. The merman is mostly humanoid; with human legs and barely any aquatic features, but on the nape of his neck is a fleshy appendage, that tethers him to the spine of a giant, mutated anglerfish, as if he's the lure and bait instead of a faintly glowing appendage.

The merfolk is floating above the large and open jaws of the anglerfish.

Digital painting of a giant ominous man, sitting cross legged, levitating in the sky, surrounding by flying giant oarfish, overlooking structures and buildings.

The man is a merfolk; mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot.

Around him are dozens of giant oarfish, rising from the sea and floating mid-ar. Beneath them are deserted buildings, homes and infrastructures.

Digital painting of Patsu.X's KaiJune entries. It's a layout showcasing all 11 creature designs of the series so far.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"
