ha! Even smaller than I recall, but still a bit larger than the game asset. Here you go:
A small portrait of St Waidwen from Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. He is a pale-skinned man with very light brown shoulder-length hair. He is wearing a green gambeson with leather buckles and shoulder-pads. He has a faint white glow about his head and his eyes are smoldering white plasma.

I wanted so badly to make him mad with my game, and I cannot believe it actually happened.

Just wait until you see the default, you said little shit.
Screenshot from reddit of a screenshot from Twitter, in which Elon is commenting on a screenshot from Avowed posted by another user. The screenshot shows the character creation overview screen, including character pronouns. Elon and the other user are whining that pronouns are preset.

Red and blue.
What a show it was!
The musician Aurora bathed in red light during a show. Her pale hair cascades over a lacy white dress as she sings into her microphone. Aurora again, this time in blue light.

The, uhhh, 15 words every art director wants to hear.

A screenshot from today's Engadget article. The paragraph shown discusses character creation, and ends with the words "Put simply, the Monster Factory boys could have a lot of fun with this one."

Quick weekend project. Incense burner in claro walnut burl and 24k gold.
An incense burner sits on green felt, surrounded by an assortment of minerals and fossils. It is ovoid, carved out of a dark walnut wood with swirling grain, and accented with shining gold leaf in a rustic splash at one end.

Post concert, cowards.
#KishiBashi
A picture of Kishi Bashi in concert. Blue and red lights backlight the show, and Kishi smiles as he sings and bows his violin. Many-colored confetti dances in the foreground. An intimate black and white shot of Kishi Bashi playing guitar during an encore he played out in the middle of the pit.

Tricking myself into a workout via 3 hours of hand-planning figured/burl walnut.
A workbench with six rough-sawn chunks of walnut, and a hand-plane. A workbench with a hand-plane, a whole mess of shavings, and 6 exquisitely figured pieces of walnut. They are dampened to showcase their swirling and curling woodgrain.

Quick dry brush doodle. Love drawing this way.

And one stray.
Many small, fuzzy lights illuminate Matt, a man with a brown beard and straw boating hat, as he fiddles the collar of his shirt.

A handful of cool cats.
A woman with shoulder length blonde hair laughs behind her hand as she stands in front of a swarm of fuzzy lights. A woman with short dark hair stands before twinkling lights, tousles her hair with one hand, and fiddles her necklace with the other. A woman with long hair tied back stands under a tree filled with thousands of lights. She points a camera at the viewer, and looks off to the right. A man with a short beard adjusts his beanie cap in the most somber way imaginable, bathed in the glow of countless tiny lights.

LOL FUEL UP GAMERS.
Somehow, my game has a Rockstar Energy Drink marketing tie in. This is real. I am losing my mind. This is a picture of the cans; orange with the Avowed key art and logo, a 12 pack is there.

Bonus Brisbane. My beautiful crew and friends.
A very cool squad of people vibe on a highrise. The sun is setting, and everyone appears to be real chilled after a long day of shooting.

A slightly unnerving path down a city path though an odd walled structure. Three birds take flight from a pylon strung wires. Dark buildings and a clocktower stand dark against a raining sky A heavily-weathered and likely abandoned boat sits moored in a river.

Brisbane (pt 1) 📷
A city transit catamaran sails along a river under a cantilever bridge. Two towers in the distance, against a foreboding sky. A cyclist angles along a pathway occluded by a stairway. Purple Jacaranda in bloom, cover the left of the frame, beyond it a large ferris wheel. A lone tower emerges from a distant tree. A city of black and glass sparkles with topaz windows lit against a cyan night sky. The reflection smears and ripples in the river below. Black and white, cables cross in front of a trio of towers stretching skyward to disappear into the clouds above

Bar people.
Drawing in black ink and red pencil of a slightly androgynous person. Drawing in black ink and red pencil of a bald older person. Drawing in black ink and red pencil of a woman with a large collar. Drawing in black ink of a John Goodman-esque looking fella in a ball cap.

Do not underestimate the incredible rapid shaping power of the low-angle block plane, motherfuckers.

Lol why not.
A chisel and mallet rest with a piece of wood clamped to a dining counter. Clearly this idiot has mistaken his kitchen for a woodshop.

Accidental JK Simmons, perhaps?
A drawing that kinda, sorta, looks like J.K. Simmons, a little bit, but not really.
