I’m going to be processing refunds for all my clients between this week and next. I’ve been struggling and social media as a whole has been affecting my mental health, along with the general state of my life and circumstances. I’m not sure when or if I will return after the correspondence is done.

Let’s celebrate another marvellous addition to our ranks: the one and only Gvales, who is taking on the job of creating the cover— which also serves as the art for the titular story—art directed by @vivtanner.bsky.social & @eliotbaum.bsky.social .

So here's a sketch of my DnD character I also did between working on stuff. I play with @corvikcorax.bsky.social, @leeland.bsky.social and a few other friends and I have grown very attached to this troubled kid in a very short time. Her name is Tillie.

#oc | #art | #dnd
My DnD OC, a deep gnome Fighter/Renegade named Tillie. She has black hair, bluish skin with a chipped ear and a scar beneath her eye. She wears a bandana, a holster, tasseled gloves, furred chaps, as well as a cowboy hat and boots. She has a pistol in her hand.

Still alive, my day job has just been taking a lot out of me.
There's still lots of work to do, but here's Leo as a warm-up sketch in the meantime!

Hope everyone is well.
