Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Germany’s constitution: “the worth of each human being is inviolate.”

Germany’s conservative chancellor: “migration… (is) a problem in terms of our cityscapes.”

Germany’s Chancellor: “We’ve made progress in migration … but we still, of course, have a problem in terms of our cityscapes and that’s why the Interior Minister is beginning to enable so many deportations.” 👁️👁️

Migration und das Stadtbild... bemerkenswerte Aussage von #Merz: "Bei der Migration sind wir sehr weit [...] Aber wir haben natürlich immer im Stadtbild noch dieses Problem und deswegen ist der Bundesinnenminister ja auch dabei jetzt in sehr großem Umfang auch Rückführungen zu ermöglichen" 1/x

This goes out to Friedrich Merz

Userin: Ich bin Sozialarbeiterin in einer psychiatrischen Institutsambulanz und habe täglich Patienten*innen mit den geschilderten Problemen. Viele von ihnen kommen in Schulden, weil das Jobcenter noch auf Unterlagen wartet, die schon längst eingereicht wurden oder auf eine Meldung der AfA wartet. Diese Menschen sitzen jetzt schon zitternd bei mir, wenn sie nur Jobcenter hören. Was soll das in Zukunft werden? Die Politik und auch die Menschen, die ein kleines bisschen Macht haben, haben keine Ahnung davon, wie es Betroffenen geht und wie ihr Alltag aussieht. Danke für eure Arbeit und Aufklärung. Noch denken die meisten, dass es sie nicht betrifft...

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Hey #PortfolioDay!
I’m Eren, fantasy illustrator and character artist. I’m interested in working in TTRPGs, TCGs, games and book covers.
I have done character design and illustration work for Critical Role and other AP shows.
Thank you!🙏

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

Illustration of a blue-skinned horned character mid-spell, in a room with pillars and bookshelves, at night.

Illustration of a knight and his pegasus at sunset.

Heard it's time for #portfolioday again...

hi, I'm Katha, a game design graduate from Germany.
The art industry is in shambles but I still hold on to a sliver of hope that I will get a chance to work on a video game as either a concept artist or character designer.

Our traumatized nervous system is going to fall right into feeling controlled, trapped, and/or in trouble if we try to force ourselves to do things. Don't try to bully or pressure yourself.

Think I'm going to try this behavior for two minutes, & always leave yourself an out.
