Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love. (I will never miss an opportunity to mention this iconic film.)
Movie poster for the 1998 film, Belly. Two black men, Nas and DMX, stand looking directly at the camera. Their skin is tinted with blues and purples, and their white suits blend seamlessly into the stark white background. Text reads: Nas, DMX, Taral Hicks, Tionne "T-Boz" Hicks, Method Man, a Hype Williams film: Belly

Working on some concept stuff with a friend. What he gave me vs what I did with it. Artists LOVE having "napkin sketches" to work from!!
Very simple layout sketch showing different areas of a video game level. Text in various zones labels them with: meet + fight countess in ruins of graveyard, blocked path, one way entry, gate that needs sword sacrifice, fight wave of monsters, view, and dummy. Detailed design I did based on the previous simple sketch. Craggy rocks, fallen pillars, crumbling architecture, and dilapidated structures make up the environment. It follows the same basic layout as the previous sketch, but fills in a lot of detail.

Contributing to the Frieren upshot meme. TBH, I don't even try to draw this angle anymore; I just grab the closest 3D head in Clip Studio and adjust from there. Cheating! It works!

Healing vibes from the Oregon coast
Photo looking up a hill path, leading up to a small covered boat. Trees and plants line the shaded path, and streaks of golden sunlight peek through majestically. Photo of a my greyhound on the beach. She's dark brindle in color, but has gone grey in the face with age. She wears a blue shirt to keep her warm and stands on wet sand, looking directly at the camera. Photo of the sunset over a smooth beach shoreline. The sun has nearly reached the horizon and reflects off the wet sand, glowing orange against a fading blue sky. Similar to previous sunset photo, but three people and two dogs stand in front of the sunset, cast in silhouette by the orange light.

Selected pages from my latest work with DOTA2! Currently viewable in-game only. Pencils, inks, and colors(day scene) by me, with additional colors(night scene) by @rennerei.bsky.social!
Full page illustration of a red-skinned barbarian, Axe, sitting underneath a tree in a grassy meadow, looking through a box of books and scrolls. In the background, the elf Good kind reassess raises her arms, gesturing underneath an arch of vines. Comic page of Goodkind, and blonde-haired elf, getting yelled at by the fairies. The fairies are a mustached man with green hair, a voluptuous woman with pink hair, and a screaming mantis. They all have glowing green wings. Comic page of Axe and Goodkind having a chat as the sun sets, bathing them in dramatic golden light. We fade out on silhouettes of them sitting under the vine arch. Comic page of Axe and Goodkind in a new location. It's night now, and we're in a forest village with houses built into trees. Goodkind lectures Axe from a window while he seems to be lightly bullying a brown-haired elf.

You see a place like this on the roadside, you know it's gonna be fire.
Photo of a roadside seafood restaurant and seafood market. Colorful picnic tables and signs advertising live crab, fresh fish and chips, oyster shooters, and smoked fish decorate a gravel lot. Tall pine trees peek from behind in front of afternoon overcast skies.

SILKSONG SPOILERS #SilksongSpoilers #Silksong Spoilers!!! Look away!!! unless...

Life in Pharloom: scenes from after the end.
Color sketch of Hornet riding the bell beast. She sits casually atop its back, and to their side, four baby bell beasts and the bug Zaza run happily alongside. Color sketch of Lace participating in the flea juggle game. She's overdoing it by using a multihit special attack, sending fleas in every direction. In the background, Fleamaster Mooshka looks somewhat panicked, Seth looks amused, and Hornet face-palms. Color sketch of Shakra, Sherma, and Hornet taking a soak together in a steaming hot tub. They've taken off their gear and clothes, placing them on the ground nearby. Shakra uses her map satchel as a headrest, and little Sherma floats on his back. They look super chill. Color sketch of Hornet sitting at the grave of the Verdania princes. New growth of plants and vines surrounds the metal body of the cogwork prince, suggesting that Verdania is starting to regrow.

Silksong Halloween with @cattifer.bsky.social!
Photo of us posing. Cat's Sherma costume is mostly game-accurate, with purple cape, white mask with dot eyes over her face, and golden round hat. My costume is sort of a streetwear take on Hornet, with a red rain poncho, black cargo joggers, and white mask worn on the side of my head. We both hold crafted needle props in our hands. Photo of us in new poses. I'm crouched down holding needle in front, and she's in a prayer-like pose, holding her needle with both hands. Selfie on us closer up. She holds up a peace sign and I'm making a faux serious face. Photo of us at a Halloween party showing off our costumes. A table of party food sits behind us.

Wacom sent me MovinkPro 14 all-in-one android tablet to test! So far it feels great! It's responsive and familiar for Cintiq users, super light for portability, and impressed me with its performance! More impressions soon, but for now, here are some size comparisons with some other drawing devices.
Photo of me holding the tablet. I'm an Asian guy with glasses, and I've drawn the words Wacom Movink Pro 14 on the drawing software. Photo of the tablet next to the box it came in. Two stylus pens sit on the box as well. Photo of four different digital drawing tablets, labelled Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Wacom Movink 13, Wacom Movink Pro 14, and Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16 placed upright on book stands. Photo of four different digital drawing tablets, labelled Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, Wacom Movink 13, Wacom Movink Pro 14, and Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16 laid flat next to each other.

Mine was much less elaborate, but I have indeed taken knife to cover haha! Just the little trail begging Krang, using a design element from the cover behind it.
TMNT sketch cover featuring all four turtles in cool poses. A large Shredder portrait looms over them and Krang flies through the sky. A hole had been cut into the cover to reveal a red streak behind Krang, as a flight trail.

French people (probably)
Crudely drawn dinner art done in the iphone notes app. A man with a moustache, red pants and beret, and striped shirt grabs his crotch with one hand while pointing at it with the other. Text indicates he is saying dix-neuf. He also has a baguette on his back.
