I truly apologize for the mismanagement. Circumstances have pushed me to a point where I have to take some time to recover from many things beyond my control, work, my mental health amongst other things. Thanks for sticking around so long and all the patience you have all afforded me.

I’m going to be processing refunds for all my clients between this week and next. I’ve been struggling and social media as a whole has been affecting my mental health, along with the general state of my life and circumstances. I’m not sure when or if I will return after the correspondence is done.

Let’s celebrate another marvellous addition to our ranks: the one and only Gvales, who is taking on the job of creating the cover— which also serves as the art for the titular story—art directed by @vivtanner.bsky.social & @eliotbaum.bsky.social .

Thank you so much!

This is also only the second game I've ever played so I'm learning how fast it spirals out of control when it comes to character building

At first I was like, "LOL let's give the gnome a gun" and now when I think about her I get tears in my eyes because of course she had to get a really tragic backstory in the process

The Okay Sage, Heaven’s Second Best @corvikcorax.bsky.social · Jan 17

My necromancer wizard. She’s from a western setting and honestly incredibly chill. Playing her at a table with @harlantaylor.bsky.social and a few other friends #dnd #artsky #blackartists #drawingwhileblack

So here's a sketch of my DnD character I also did between working on stuff. I play with @corvikcorax.bsky.social, @leeland.bsky.social and a few other friends and I have grown very attached to this troubled kid in a very short time. Her name is Tillie.

#oc | #art | #dnd

My DnD OC, a deep gnome Fighter/Renegade named Tillie. She has black hair, bluish skin with a chipped ear and a scar beneath her eye. She wears a bandana, a holster, tasseled gloves, furred chaps, as well as a cowboy hat and boots. She has a pistol in her hand.

I was proud of these hands cause I've been doing a lot of headshots, so I was getting a little rusty in the rest-of-the-body department. It was good practice, but it felt like stretching after sleeping for too long.

Still alive, my day job has just been taking a lot out of me.
There's still lots of work to do, but here's Leo as a warm-up sketch in the meantime!

Hope everyone is well.

I finally have a few of days where I'm not ill in some way or called into work so I will actually have some time to do art. Feels good to sit down with my tablet and get stuff done

TAY ✨ working! @harlantaylor.bsky.social · Dec 26

This looks so beautiful! I am in love with the background and Benny's expression, he looks so content and warm!! This is lovely and I appreciate it so much! ♡
