I have been making digital art since the days you had to plot pixels out on graph paper and hand-calculate their hexadecimal value to poke screen memory addresses while some old guy tells you the computer does all the work. https://linktr.ee/erickveil

A photo of Cookie Monster, rendered using crayons in a small sketchbook. Some of the crayons are on the table next to the sketchbook. The style is very scribbled and uses lots of layers of different colors scribbled on top of each other.

I ALWAYS crush it.

High resolution is for paying customers and printers only (so, that means nobody but me).

My wife looks at all my art on a screen that is perpetually tinted orange *on purpose* because she says it's easier on her eyes.

Why does being creative always take up so much time??

When I was a younger reader, books that had a lot of those were easier for me. I remember when I started reading more books that didn't rely on them so much and the challenges it caused. Now it's fine, but I clearly remember noticing making that transition in reading level.

Jarl Eyda has pushed jar way onto the throne of Thornfield just so ja can make sure the other refugees from Sporedeep have a safe place on the surface to settle.

A black and white image of a mushroom-person (a mycelian from Sporedeep) sitting on a throne. My wife says it looks like ja's wearing a mushroom-cap sombrero.

Thanks! Spoordeep is one of the cavernous realms of the Underwild, but war has displaced many mycelians to the surface, causing problems for the people there.

I love how your lizard-people are clearly based on that one weird little guy who got disintegrated in the 80s movie.

My mom’s protest signs, as always, are a helluva thing.

A painting of George Washington with NO KINGS in orange ombré letters, in front of an American flag. Mixed media on posterboard. Can you tell she has an MFA?

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Ugh. More art coming. If I have to suffer through this, you have to watch me do it.

A very messy digital pencil sketch. This is what it looks like when I start. It's never pretty. It's almost like automatic drawing. Lots of scribbles. I hate it. I don't have a choice.

I'm going to keep sharing it until you like it, so you might as well push the little heart button on there and get it over with.
