Anyone who doesn't believe chronic pain sucks the life from you, take a clothespin and put it on your ear lobe. Wear it for 24h for 7d. Let me know how well you sleep, work and play.

My brother sent me an awesome birthday present, so I wanted to say thank you by painting his Everquest character from yesteryear.

It's a little less pixelated than the original ;)

Rough sketch of Tikisteve and Whooper from the GFG (was DND) community. I still hate pauldrons.
A sketch of a Draenei in robes with pauldrons being hugged by a blood elf in plate armour. They're both smiling and looking cute.

Sketching doesn't require me to sit up like digital art does. So I drew (another) bear. Bearbearbear, raid leader of Drunk and Disorderly raiding community.

And I should really fix his eye.

#Sketch #Art #WorldofWarcraft
A pencil sketch of a grizzle bear, wearing think black glasses, eating a sub sandwich. He has too many teeth (by 2) but I forgot to check how many teeth bears have before I started. I also forgot to give him a pupil. But other wise, I'm happy with it :D

Ooof, the poor @bcferries.bsky.social customer support line team today.

Flurry came into Ad Meliora with a "I'll help as best as I can with whatever you need!" attitude and, having proved herself a great raid leader, got the guild raid leading dumped on her shoulders. There is no escape for her now.

#Worldofwarcraft #DigitalArt #Art #Pandaren
A Pandaren from World of Warcraft wearing pink and gold armour with a two bladed battle axe resting over her shoulder. She has "inclusive flag" coloured head fur (hair) that is Trans pink, blue, and white, along with rainbow purple, blue, green, orange, red and yellow. She is also adorable.

Bearbearbear ran an early morning raid. Somehow this led to the conversation about teeth brushing. Guardian druids may be big and tough, but they deserve good oral health too!

A rough sketch of an anthropomorphic brown bear holding a toothbrush with toothpaste on it in his wide open mouth. The bear is wearing dark, thick rimmed, glasses, and a shirt colour with tie.

Australian drop bear!

Or Tazniro's guardian druid, one of the two. 😉

A very sloppy pencil sketch of a cute bear cub like character wearing an Australian hat and bandana leaping forward on all fours.

Another for raid leader Tazviro! I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I sent both. Cover picture for his mythic raids. :)

Another guardian druid raid lead for Drunk'n'Disorderly raid leader. This one is Tazviro, an Aussie, so naturally he got a slouch hat and a BBQ. Second is just the cute wee cub slapped onto an Undermine background.

#Art #DigitalArt #WorldofWarcraft
A red bear cub, inspired by Koda from Brother Bear, wearing an Aussie slouch hat, sitting down with a red BBQ behind him. The meat on the grill is unidentifiable but perhaps the colour of chicken. Same bear, in front of a screenshot from World of Warcraft's Undermine raid.

One of the Drunk'n'Disorderly raid leaders is called "Bearbearbear" and shockingly, he plays as guardian druid as his main. We were doing Stix in Undermine and I joked that if we lit the trash on fire, he wouldn't be mad, just disappointed. Then just had to draw it.

#Art #Worldofwarcraft
A long-suffering bear sitting at a desk on a leather chair with a laptop in front of him. He has one paw on a computer mouse and the other is resting against his face. In the background is a drawing of a figure on a ball of garbage that is on fire.

Dave asked me to make a Pride version of the CUPE 917 logo. I sent him a few options and this is the one they chose.

#GraphidDesign #Art #Pride #UnionStrong
A logo that says "UVIC CUPE 917" (I hope screen readers don't yell!) It has a third of a cog above and another third below. It has been coloured to the rainbow pride colours.

CUPE 917 had a logo contest and this was my and my friend Dave's entry. In 20/20 hindsight, it was FAR too complex for what they wanted. I think the building (which is their unique looking HQ) would have looked far better as a cover banner.
A digital artwork. A large grey circle with a mild/pastel green banner across the bottom third that says "CUPE 917" and underneath is "University of Victoria outside workers" in caps. (I'm not sure if screen readers will take all caps as yelling) Above it is a 3/4 view of a building with a glass window sort of thing in the top half of the image. On either side of the window bits are two white washed wings with green siding over the windows.

This comes with DRAMA. Someone who did a lot of scripting I used was looking for a new PFP based on their character. So I volunteered to do one for free. I did the middle image based on the screenshot, but they decided they wanted something cute/anime.

#Art #WorldofWarcraft #KulTiran
A screenshot of a Kul Tiran priest from World of Warcraft. She has her brown hair brushed back from her face, has a necklace and silver earings. She's wearing a white lace up blouse. A digital art work of a sassy looking brunette with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She's wearing a necklace and a peasant blouse. Few unedited bits because it was rejected before finished. An anime style digital art of a cute girl with her brown hair in a ponytail, wearing earrings but no necklace because I forgot to include it, wearing a white peasant blouse.

A very niche sketch. My hunter Rhasody from World of Warcraft dressed as a hockey goalie. (#PWHL of course)

I drew the goalie pads from memory. Possibly my first mistake. :D

#Art #WorldofWarcraft #Pandaren
Waterpencils used as colour pencils sketch of an anthropormorphic panda dressed in a blue and white hockey jersey with a pink and white paw print logo. She has brown hair pulled back with bangs falling on the sides. She has brown panda markings. She is wearing a blocker (goalie pad) and leg pad while holding a hockey stick.

I never managed to finish this. But it started as a story about rabbits who time travelled via a Fisher Price barn. (I'd misremembered it was actually a school house.)

A picture from my patio of the lilac bush and a bunch of trees between me and my neighbouring building + the road.

This is a thread of images of the process of me working with watercolour pencils. I'm not quite sure how to ID each individual image correctly, so if the descriptions are less than stellar, I apologize.
