Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!

This is gonna sound sappy but I get sappy about drawing.

Everyone who draws is somewhere on the same path.

Some are further along in some ways than others but no one is where they will be tomorrow with one more day of practice.

IMO being on the path is better than not being on the path.
Still not an artist but I’m forcing myself to become one so that I can add art to my #dnd games without using AI slop.

I recently made some NPCs using techniques inspired by @jpcoovert.bsky.social

Check out his work, it is truly inspiring, even if my work is not!

i spotted these tpb volumes of Black Cloak while shelving at Lillian H Smith.

Just finished the first one and I'm sitting here with "those who walk away from omelas" feelings.

@kellythompson.bsky.social & @iniquitousfish.bsky.social et al.

Great comic to stumble across in the stacks @ tpl

so pretty... you know, it's nice to just get to see this kind of cool weird stuff. More ppl should follow Fernando and be inspired.
Detractors used to say that she ascended from ghost to deity so long ago that she forgot what an owl looks like. They don't walk this world anymore.

watercolour practice project - war dragons - I was trying to imagine how you'd really try to control a beast like this in a fight. My answer? Levers ...

I don't really know how things work

Working on more orc characters today. This morning an ink version of my orc abomination design.

Imagination a drider but it's a pig faced orc torso melded to the body of a wild boar armed with a boar spear of course

Today's new TTRPGkids post is a list of 2-player TTRPGs!

These can be great to play between a caregiver + only child, on a random meet up with a friend, or with a sweetheart as a hallmark holiday alternative.

Check out the list here!

Do I have to dump tiktok now like I did with twitter?

I'm worried I made my account while I was in the states and now have a US version.

Finished the commission piece. I wish I had better technical skills to draw backgrounds that feel real instead of my weirdly flat ones but hey, I am still happy with the result.

I posted the piece on my Patreon, I made it free access so that you can look at it: www.patreon.com/posts/myster...

A character in my #scionrpg game got a baby Anzu (Sumerian mythology) so of course I had to draw the fuzzy kittenchick.
