a colourful sketch of many fruits in a glass bowl, each with cat ears, nose and eyes, some also with a tail.

Okay, not a fluke. Feels a bit mesmerizing to have 20,000 words in a novel draft that I only started a few months ago. Goal is to finish it sometime this year.

Early feedback has been very promising... really happy about how it's been turning out so far!

This comics took me WAY longer than it took to defeat Cazador. This was probably my easiest Act 3 fight so far lol
#BaldursGate3 #BG3
This is a comics about defeating Cazador Szarr, Astarion's Master in Baldur's Gate 3. First panel shows Laezel, me as a lemur bard and Astarion discussing Cazador's weaknesses over a blueprint. Gale suggests to cast sunlight on Cazador, but he's reminded that he has the same HP as a paper sheet and he's an aggro magnet. Next panel: Karlach suggests mirrors so Gale can stay away from the fight and the mirrors can direct the sunbeam right on Cazador. Astarion judges the option "ridiculous" because since he's a vampire, he has a grudge against mirrors. Next panel, bard lemur suggests "the full concentrated power of the sun, aka a magnifying glass. She offers to dig a hole in the ground and open the heavy curtains to allow the sunlight to pierce through. Next panel shows bard lemur trying to burn Cazador with the magnifying glass, but he barely reacts and looks at her, jaded. Astarion: "you're going to need a bigger glass darling, he's an extremely powerful vampire on his way to ascend." Next panel: Shadowheart offers her help in something that also casts the light of the sun. She doesn't say what, only to trust her. Next panel: She casts moonbeam. Next panel: Cazador is hit by the moonbeam and starts burning, surprised and in distress. Next panel: Cazador: "You fool, I can just step OUT of your STUPID beam!" he says, doing so. Next: Shadowheart answers "yeah but I can also move it at my will" and she proceeds to move it on Cazador each time he moves, resulting in a lot of damage. Next: Shadowheart casts Sanctuary so no one can hurt her. Astarion is impressed by this level of bullying and tells her "I didn't know you had it in you!" Next: Astarion is relieved and freed of his master, moved to tears Next: Astarion: "AND NOW I WILL ASCE-" The entire party yells "NO !" Last panel: Astarion is tied up in ropes in a puddle of Cazador's blood as the lemur checks his quest out of her quest roll.

I painted a new thing. Hear me out... Elden Ring... but with cats?

How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search.

Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.

Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.
HOW TO FILTER OUT AI IMAGES IN GOOGLE IMAGES When you type something add the following minus keywords: -ai, -prompt Since AI movement increased highly in 2022, use "before:" like before:2021 (VERY effective) The following keywords will affect and should decrease amounts of AI imagery appearing on your search. Create, not scrape!

#Twitch out here deciding that sidelining artists on their platform wasn't enough, so they decided put AI slop in everyone's emote tab 💀💀💀
