Seems like a lot of my fav follows have moved here, so I’m gonna give this place a try. I figured my 1st post should include artwork of mine that corresponds to some of my fav interests - art (especially fantasy art), comic books, nature (especially snakes), video games, & TTRPGs. 🙂

I'm playing a little gnome alchemist, today 🍹

the potion bottle is named Sidecar, the staff is named The Swivel Stick, and her name is Mimi, but you can call her The Potionhag

#ocsky

a cartoon illustration of a gnome character with big, pink and grey hair, very messy and frayed. she has an eyepatch meant to look like a flower with an eyeball in it, and a dusty rose apron affixed with many flasks. her lower face is covered by a tattered scarf which also wraps up around her head and hangs off her shoulders. a little potion bottle with death head moth wings flitters nearby, carrying a shell that is growing a plant. Mimi has a lot going on.

Inktober, Day 19, “Arctic”: I’ve been busy the past couple of days so today’s entry is from the archive: a D&D adventure set in the arctic that I illustrated way-back-when. Stay warm! ❄️

Just throwing it out there that I do indeed take commissions, shoot me a DM or email if you're interested in a custom fully hand made piece. No shortcuts, no regrinds of other tools, no power hammers or templates, just raw steel and wood formed by my hands for you

Bsky loves to make my high quality photos super crunchy, maybe this one looks better? Who knows

Tap me like a Magic card,
Level me like XP,
Roll my like initiative,
Sate the geek in me.

Main me and learn all my moves,
Unlock my whole skill tree.
Love me til your shields are down,
Catch me, then choose me.

Stand with Frogs.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of an orange frog (left) facing three green frogs (right). The orange frog is asking “No Monarchs?”, and the three green frogs are each saying “NO!”.
Below left, is a title that says “STAND (swim!) WITH FROGS!!”.
This is a slightly veiled reference to protests happening in the U.S. today (10/18/25).
Inspiration and reference: Anton Seder, Art Nouveau artist.

Extra Bonus poem for day 19 of "31 Days of Spooky/Dark/Horror Poetry": my attempt at a villanelle, "A Hellish Fray". Wrote this at the behest of a certain small-press editor/publisher, but then she decided the work wasn't for her. It ended up in my now out-of-print collection.

A Hellish Fray

by Richard H. Fay

Ebon banners darken the day.
The earth quakes 'neath their marching feet
When demons fight a hellish fray.

Upon a field of churned-up clay
Mailed knights and armoured devils meet.
Ebon banners darken the day.

Brave men stop a moment to pray
Then plod through muck and hell-born heat
When demons fight a hellish fray.

Lines advance as trumpeters play
And drummers pound a savage beat.
Ebon banners darken the day.

Many an honest soul fall prey
To fell beasts and wicked deceit
When demons fight a hellish fray.

Black swords hew and spiked scourges flay
As light's bright host faces defeat.
Ebon banners darken the day
When demons fight a hellish fray.

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

Practicing drawing mouse adventurers. There’s so many design decisions involved when making these little guys. Opting for a Jill Barklem Brambly Hedge style with little eyes and noses and soft edges, rather than a Bluth animated style.

$5 art books! I've made TWO $5 art books! One for inks and one for pencils. These are for those of you who messaged me saying you use Tess's art to learn from. I do too. :) She used to offer online art classes btw. She can teach anyone to draw. Check out the books! I hope you enjoy them.

Tess Fowler Gutierrez @tessfowler.bsky.social · 22h

I added another $5 digital book called "Ink" I wanted something to go with the Pencils digital book. I also put in some of Tess's old inks from 2004, and a few others that haven't been printed.
