Calling all cosplayers~ quote repost with your favourite cosplay picture of yours!

At the moment, my faves are definitely Geralt and Priscilla from #thewitcher (with an old one of Andraste from #DragonAge thrown in bc Dragon Age 🤗)

Geralt of Rivia cosplayer wearing a simple shirt and sunglasses looking confused at a booklet as if lost. Around him are palm trees. Cosplay picture Geralt of Rivia leaning against a pillar looking over a courtyard lit in warm light. He crosses his arms in front of his chest and seems to be waiting for something. He's wearing the simple white shirt armour from the third Witcher game. Wide shot of a Priscilla cosplay from the Witcher. She's standing on top of a few stairs, under an archway with columns in an antique style, playing a stringend instrument. She's wearing a 16th-century renaissance dress version of her in-game design. The picture looks like it wants to imitate Renaissance art and the aesthetics of Toussaint. Cosplayer dressed as Andraste from the Dragon Age Games. Wearing a simple white dress and a long blue cloak, Andraste's hand is held out towards the viewer in invitation. She's standing in front of a church door. Her head is crowned in rays of light.

You're always welcome to ask me about historical costuming and cosplay
If there's some historical source in German you need a translation of, I'm always ready to help (I either know an article or can recommend another costumer, historian, or archaeologist)
My skills vary, but what I know I share 🤗💚

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

The people who make generative AI tools are trying to sell destinations by waging a war on journeys.

They take it for granted that no one enjoys the experience of doing anything creative, provocative, or cognitively demanding. That's the audience they pitch to.

And that's why they're failing.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'

'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'

'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'

the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.

like. *hate* art. deeply.

Happy Dragon Age Day 💚

How does this day always sneak up on me so fast 😅
Spend this year drawing more and made some art of a Hawke and Lavellan for artfight 🙏
Also some old fave #cosplay pictures of my Lavellan and Andraste (credit in comment)

#DragonAgeDay #DragonAge #art #cosplay
Cosplay foto of me as Inquisitor Lavellan with green vallaslin wearing a drker green dress with a leather waist belt, Solas' wolf jaw pendant and a green coat with grey fur that mimics Solas Style. They are rewoming the deep hood gazing over their shoulder. Cosplay photo of theee people as Alistair Andraste and Leliana. Alistair and Leliana are kneeling, probably in prayer and Andraste stands behind them, holding her hands over their heads as if blessing them. Alistair seems unsure, Leliana calm. Fanart of Hawk and Anders with Justice with the chantry exploding in the background. Artwork in ink inspired by some concept art in the game. Ink bookmark of the main tower of Skyhold with a few tiny stick figures of Lavellan and Sera on a balcony and Dorian and Cassandra on the steps in front of the entrance. Cole sits on the roof.

Halfbody art piece of two characters, Hazel and Eddie. Eddie is daydreaming and looking up at Hazel, who is looking down at him with a smile. There hearts all around them. Eddie has light skin with a deep blush, short black hair, brown eyes and a light stubble. He wears a red shirt with the collar up, a red necktie, with a brown vest and coat. Hazel has golden eyes, tan skin with freckles, wavy dark hair and wears a white shirt with brown forearm leather pieces and a red cloack draped over his shoulders.

A robin to welcome winter 💙
Alcohol markers and imitation gold leaf on marker paper, with white gel pen and a tiny colour pencil top-up.

#AnimalArt #Birds #TraditionalArt
A traditional drawing of a robin perched on a green toned branch. The robin has feathers of cool and warm grey-ish tones with pops of orange and yellow, with a brightly coloured orange chest highlighted in gold leaf. It has an open beak. Behind it is a circle composed of painterly light purple and blue ink. Small remnants of gold leaf are scattered on the paper.

Guyssss I recently got to paint two of my favorite things : hands and dragon age :D huge thanks to @kccodes.bsky.social for commissioning this piece, it was an absolute joy to work on!

#art #dragonage #fantasyart
A digital illustration of two hands on bed sheets with tiny floral patterns on them. The Inquisitor's hand is glowing an otherworldly green with the Anchor, a lightning strike pattern starting on her palm and traveling down her hand. Blackwall's hand is tenderly tracing the magical mark on his lover's hand.

Happy Dragon Age Day! Veilguard really sparked my interest to draw a bunch of new things and here's some of that art!

#DragonAge #DragonAgeDay #DragonAgeTheVeilguard
Illustration of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is portrayed with glowing purple wings, against an abstract background. With an intense look he is reaching up for a feather, but it's just out of his reach. Image containing three separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are: 1) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath. 2) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood. 3) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso. A set of scenes with my interpretation of what happened to Lucanis between the events from Tevinter Nights and Veilguard. He is unconscious and bleeding out, brought to Zara who uses blood magic to bind him, and wakes up with a start.

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.

And now it's a doxxing tool.

Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.

It's a danger to everyone's safety.

happy dragon age day! pls accept old sketches of my most gender love interest emmrich volkarin ✨💀💚

[ #DragonAgeDay ] [ #DragonAge ]
a screenshot of a sketch in Procreate. It's of Emmrich Volkarin from Dragon Age Veilguard. He is in his comfortable camp clothes: a teal waistcoat, a high collar shirt tied together with a golden chain, and a burgandy glove on his right hand. He looks to our left while holding a steaming cup of tea. The steam is green and filled with skulls. Photograph of a page in my sketchbook. The sketch is a bust of Emmrich Volkrain from Dragon Age Veilguard, his eyes are rolled back into his head as he performs a feat of magic. Smoke drifts out of his eyes, and his mouth is slightly open as though taking a breath. He is surrounded by bright green. An illustration study of a screenshot from Dragon Age The Veilguard. It shows Emmrich the necromancer wearing his base outfit and holding the player character Rook back.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.
A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell. And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: "Tweepcred is X's reputation system Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score It determines your reach Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked." SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation. SADIQ continues: "Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction Offensive username? 80% reach reduction All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization. Include links? Yup, penalized"

JKR‘s funding of anti-trans policies and the horrible effects of the UK‘s supreme court ruling are making it more difficult every day for trans people here.

to be excluded from somewhere that provides young girls a sense of community and help trans girls with affirmation is insanely cruel.
ulycia.bsky.social pseudonymity enjoyer @ulycia.bsky.social · 5d
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

As we wind down from dragon age day, i do just want to take a moment for it.

Because it was just us this year. Its not the first time its been like that, but we all know it’s different this year.

But there was still a ton of fun, joy, creativity, and excitement. Because Dragon Age is ours ❤️

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
