Trying out my new tablet (my old one died) with my one and only wife 🫶🏻

A quick black and white sketch of Karlach from Baldur’s Gate 3. She’s saying “Soldier!” while smiling.

Toad Astrologer ⭐️🐸
I made it to #drawtober finally.

An ink drawing of a toad wearing a little star patched vest and a lily pad hat is holding a tiny book and telescope looking like theyre walking off somewhere to do business while the book pours stars behind it.

"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself"

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

A long 🧵

how your email finds me

a cat with a very very saggy face looking miserable/tired/unimpressed next to a blue ball and a nice scratching post

a cat with a very very saggy face looking at the camera with an expression that can only read as “i may not want to die, that’s way too far, but i certainly would enjoy ceasing to exist for a little while before coming back to regular life with no consequences as a result of my absence”

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

I came in one morning to find a cute trinket left on my table. Duck has been guarding my table when I leave each day. We love Duck. ❤️
