Howdy!

I'm Whiskey; artist, writer, wrangler. ❤️💜💙

My main focuses are #DnD character design and gamedev illustration for visual novels.

I'm pretty quiet on bsky, but I'm making an effort to post more. #PortfolioDay feels like a good opportunity to put myself back out there.

⛓️‍💥 Want to b̶u̶l̶l̶y̶ help out a charming-if-pathetic rogue? Good news!

"A Chance Encounter" is out ✨now✨ as part of #O2A2, and I'm very grateful to have lent my face-noises to the elf himself—Chance!

Many thanks to the @fiendishfiction.bsky.social crew for having me!

A unicorn I drew earlier this year for a short story I'll probably never publish. Still love this image though... bedroom eyes and all.

The strongest argument I have that the universe is fundamentally unfair is that Sir Terry Pratchett is gone and JK Rowling is still running her fucking mouth :(

like buying a fleshlight and instead of using it you press a button that fills it with other peoples cum

adobe advertising their text to image bullshit, showing how you can just type what you want and it'll generate images (using stolen data)

Recently commissioned to paint @whiskeyworks.bsky.social's Tarvish! I knew from one glance that I was going to have a great time; some character designs don't speak to to you so much as holler. XD

Yes, if you use generative ai in any creative field, I am actually better than you.
There’s no debate

Once again I'm here pleading people who play indie games to rate them/recommend them if they enjoyed them 🙏

Too many times I've experienced people telling me they liked my games (either in a comment, DM or during a stream/gameplay) but then don't rate them.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

Another old DnD boy... Ofier Ossiri, Tiefling sorcerer. Ofier saw a lot of great play before the campaign died down, and he remains one of my favourites.

Yes, he does bachelorette parties.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.

Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

BUN-NICKEL-A @snickettes.bsky.social · Feb 5

Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.

It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

Save a horse, ride a... centaur?

"Buck Francis, better known as 'Gun-Amok' Buck! Best rifle shot in the west... an' no, ma'am, I ain't blonde... I'm strawberry roan!"

Another oldie but goodie. I'd love to revive him, either in a new pathfinder or dnd game someday. He was a ton of fun!

Thank you!!! I hope I get to use him someday-- he was a lot of fun to come up with and draw.

Let's kick up the dust and raise some Cain!

Dusty McCain is an unused harengon artificer for a DND campaign that never got off the ground. Shame, as I love his character design and think he'd be a lot of fun to play. Maybe someday! #dndart

If you see this, QRP a character with long hair.

I have plenty of characters with long hair, but it's hard to beat Tarvish's long flowing locks! #dnd #drow #bard
