Howdy, I'm Gwen. Sometimes I go by Grimm, or Grimmalkin. I make stuff. I'm also disabled and recovering from burnout that destroyed my dreams of being a professional illustrator. Now I've turned my beady eyes towards sculpture instead, because creating is vital to my survival. Here, some stuff:

Officially no longer have an apartment. Applying for a new one. Pissed off and stressed out and want the last 3 months (not counting the months long application process)of my damn life back.

sewn/made entirely by me (6 wks)
the bones of the wig are actually pool noodles wrapped in quilt batting/braiding hair and crochet'd to a base

Hello. I paint cats! Here's one of my favorites from a couple of years back 😺

A surrealist painting of a floating red tabby cat head with green eyes. Under the head is a woman's open hand, Behind the head is a white oval frame and a mountain landscape.

I made a Snom. Be nice to him.
I'm still trying to figure out a good way to color these little polyfil sculptures. Wool is expensive.

If my financial assistance doesn't mysteriously disappear, definitely want to grab a few things. Eyeballing both the compression gloves and the artist gloves. Looks like they'll comfortable fit my big 'ol hands, too.

Thanks Kova! I’m Justin, a St. Louis maker of things. Mostly sculptures and lots of cardboard to do it.

I present a collection of pieces that I think have a softer touch.

Pearl, Solaplith, cardboard, paperclay paint bison

All the glam of a 80’s school folder, shaped into a Lisa Frankenstein unicorn

The world sucks, everything is making me angry, but I have a loaner (possibly to be mine) PC from a friend, and I'm gonna learn how to use Blockbench if it kills me.

Hi! I'm Christine, the maker behind Huang Pottery.

I mostly make functional ceramic pieces like mugs and bowls and I hope my work fills your day with a little bit of joy every time you use them.

Messing around with a sketch and a weird painting technique involving the curves tool. Also a new method for rendering faces / skin. Which… I actually really like? Hmmm.

#art #illustration #portrait #dnd5e

A fairly simple portrait of a white haired human woman with violet eyes and short, wavy hair. The colours are absolutely unhinged in the shirt and hair and … well, it’s hard to describe. Psychedelic?? Very pink and orange rainbow weirdness.

Thank you, trying to parse information about this right now is... difficult

The life stories in recipe pages are for copywriting issues. You can't copywrite a recipe, but you can copywrite your life story, or something like that. Maybe something similar is happening with the game articles.
