Hi, I'm Niall or Inanerial, not a bot, I write fanfic and gaze lovingly at art. Mostly I lurk. Expect mostly Critical Role and other D&D nerddom.

It took 80 hours. I threw my neck and back out. You can't just slap the graphic in and go. I had to test, frog it a lot, and change things. You can't just use any chart you find online, if you do decide to do this. I know mine works. It's tested. #darkbrotherhood #fanart #skyrim #crochet

digital sketch of Caleb and Essek from Critical Role. Caleb is a tall thin human with chin-length wavy hair and a full beard, and Essek is a shorter thin drow with long hair swept back into a small utilitarian bun. they are both wearing two-piece swimsuits; Essek is dressed in a sleeveless vest and loose pants that are gathered into form-fitting cuffs mid-shin, while Caleb has loose shorts and a sleeveless vest on, both horizontally striped. the straps of his shirt are pulled down while Essek, standing at Caleb's back, is applying sunscreen to his shoulders from a round tin he is holding in his other hand. Caleb is hunched down in a relaxed standing pose, wiping his hands against each other. three separate digital drawings of Fjord, Kingsley, and Veth from Critical Role. Fjord is a tall and lean athletic half-orc, with short straight dark hair, a slight underbite and visible lower tusks. he is wearing loose drawstring shorts, and several scars of different origins are scattered over his body. he is running away in a somewhat comedic fashion from an extremely simplified turtle chasing after him, which has a devious cat face on. Kingsley is a slim tiefling, with small curled horns, a thin long tail and short curly hair. he is wearing form-fitting leggings that stop mid-calf, with an opening for his tail that is laced closed above it. there are tattoos vaguely sketched on his upper body, including a peacock with its tail feathers reaching his face and a snake curling down one arm. he has numerous healed lacerations across the front of his neck and chest. he is lying down on his stomach, supporting himself on his elbows and propping his face on his laced fingers. his legs are bent, the ankles crossed in the air, and he is looking at the viewer with a flirtatious pout on his face. Veth is an athletic fat halfling, with a soft round stomach and ample bust. she has long dark hair in two braids, and the top of her feet and shins are furred. she is dressed in a two piece swimsuit consisting of a wired bra and bikini bottoms, decorated with floral lace. she is captured in the middle of getting over a piece of driftwood, one foot and hand propped on top of it, the other foot down on the ground and a hand crossbow in her other hand. she is aiming it up towards the sky with a triumphant smile of her face. digital sketch of Jester from Critical Role, drawn in a dynamic jumping pose, her legs akimbo and her arms thrown back. she is a short muscular tiefling, with defined arm and leg muscles and a soft stomach. she has a long thin tail, straight hair in a chin-length bob, small ram's horns, and large freckle-like spots on her shoulders, thighs and cheeks. she is wearing a two-piece swimsuit tied with bows behind her neck and at her hips.

kragehund-est on tumblr: "sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting. you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet." the-ghost-of-jetstream-tormod: "What are your thoughts on musk?" kragehund-est: "i hope he dies"

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

Image is a digital painting of a portrait of the Shadowhand Essek Thelyss from critical role. He is in the middle of giving head to someone offscreen with pale skin and freckles, implied to be Caleb. A large amount of drool clings to his lips and chin, as he’s clearly been at it awhile. His eyes look up between half-lidded lashes.

it was high time i painted another good old portrait of our favorite fancy guy Essek Thelyss!

#art #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #EssekThelyss
digital portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, looking at the viewer with a barely-there soft smile and keen eyes, his hands folded in front of his chest. he is a young-looking dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair. he has chiseled features with prominent cheekbones and nose, a sharp jawline, thick eyebrows and violet eyes; his upper lip is asymmetric, the right half being noticeably taller than the left. he is wearing sharp teal eyeliner on his lower eyelids. his hair is artfully pinned back, some strands swirling into two small buns and the rest curling onto his shoulders. he is dressed in a thick voluminous black cloak, the sleeves folding at the bend of his elbows, revealing slightly longer straight wide sleeves with dusky mauve embroidery, reminiscent of the internal structure of ammonite shells; these sleeves in turn reveal another pair of long tight sleeves, with denser embroidery. on top of his robes, he is wearing a piece of decorative organic-looking armor consisting of a short breastplate and pauldrons. they are perlescent white, and the ridges and long spikes curving up off of his shoulders are similar to the shapes of conch shells. the painting utilizes a limited color palette of dusky purples, mauve, grays and pale green.

Have not been able to get this passage from @vajra.me out of my head:
How do we become inedible to the machine? The visual artists, our beloved cousins, have more tools to poison their data against the colonizers of AI, but what’s there for those of us who work with only words? How do we become inedible to the machine? How do we poison it? Here is my answer: the machine will shake your tree and peel your oranges, but it can only eat the rind, so fill your vesicles with strange juices. The machine cannot understand even the fundamental cells of storytelling (metaphor &c.) much less the more complex organs and frames that we grow to support our stories—the reverse walpolitical manoeuvre, for instance, as a political-ethical-narratological exoskeleton—so it can only approximate the flavedo, and perhaps an albedo may be suggested as an accidental byproduct of a reader’s pareidolia, but beyond that there is only a hollow. Become more than the rind of yourself, and you’ll have employment yet for the rest of your days.

#CriticalRoleFanArt #MightyNeinAnimated #MightyNeinAnimatedSpoilers
a digital semi-realistic painting based on a still from The Mighty Nein Animated. it depicts Caleb Widogast, a light-skinned ginger man, facing the camera and watching the flames roaring in front of him with a distressed look on his face, his shoulders slumped, his teeth bared, brows furrowed and eyes wide in horror. his chin-length hair and beard are greasy and messy, the short fur lining the collar of his coat tattered. the flames are reflected in his light blue eyes, highlighting the tears rolling down his face and coloring the pupils red. the dark blue background behind him suggests night time, and back-lights his fiery orange and brown silhouette with pale blue moonlight.

was struck by sudden inspiration to paint everyone's favorite hot boy with watercolors 🎨
#art #watercolors #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt
a shoulders-up watercolor portrait of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. he is depicted as a young-looking slender drow with light gray-purple skin and short white hair. there is a silver ornament hooked around his pointed ear, shaped like a small leafed branch. his shirt is filled in with almost black purple ink, allowing his face, neck and right hand to stand out; the hand is up by Essek's face, the fingers touching his lips in a pensive gesture as he looks off to the side. the background behind his head and in the upper right corner is sectioned off and filled in with the same ink as his shirt, balancing the composition and providing a dark backdrop for Essek's light hair.

i know many authors are experiencing this but it is so unsettling to create something complex, personal, inextricably interwoven into your own truth, and then see the thing only you could have made being fed into the playdough spaghetti factory of gray meaningless slop

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
A transcription of a conversation between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and podcast host Theo Von on Von's podcast, in an excerpt from the Atlantic article "AI is a mass-delusion event" by Charlie Warzel: "Sam Altman: I do guess that a lot of the world gets covered in data centers over time. Theo Von: Do you really? Altman: But I don’t know, because maybe we put them in space. Like, maybe we build a big Dyson sphere around the solar system and say, “Hey, it actually makes no sense to put these on Earth.” Von: Yeah. Altman: I wish I had, like, more concrete answers for you, but, like, we’re stumbling through this."
