i am already losing my mind over this circle for so many reasons, but the intense desire to be back in ireland is perhaps the strongest of all. not me being homesick again for a place i only lived for like, four months.

Open Sea paladins take "open" to mean open shirts

nothing like being stared down by a vaguely unsettling spores druid who just wants to get the damn tadpole out of their head and go back to their bog.

Finished!

I finally got to draw one of my favorite Critical Role characters, Caduceus Clay. I only got to see half of The Mighty Nein Campaign (Campaign 2), but this was one of the characters that resonated with me in certain ways. He was the calm one in the group that was always there to give support and was ready to listen. I loved his way of thinking about life, and I also love that whenever he had his chance to confront his enemies through words, no malice is there but he does it in a way that ends up confounding them.

“Pain doesn’t make people, it’s love that makes people” was one of the lines that stood out when he spoke to the cruel wizard, Trent Ikithon. You got to watch the whole scene, but basically Caduceus put Ikithon in his place that made me cheer along with the other Critical Role cast members.

Quite an inspirational character for me, so I really hope I was able to do the tea-loving firbolg justice in this drawing.

Hey, artists of tumblr (and general nerds), it's me, the archery guy! The one with the pole, you know, this one:

(I'm the human in there, not the animated characters)

ANYWAY, I need your help!

I know some of y'all are using my posts as art references (and that's GREAT! I love that!) And I want to maybe look into creating a better resource for artists, like a pose reference bank or something like that, but I don't know where to start?

So tell me: where do you go for your art refs? Are there specific photographers/pose banks I should get in touch with? Or if not, where would you recommend I start uploading my own? Patreon? OF (it doesn't HAVE to be porn you know)? A secret third option?

Let me know!

P.S. Here's some stuff that was lying around on my phone as tribute:

pro to naming your cactus chetney: you can ask "damn, you're just a thirsty little bitch, aren't you, chet?" and the answer is always a resounding yes in all contexts

Ceol comhaimseartha as Gaeilge (Contemporary irish language music recommends)

Many foriegners looking more into more music as gaeilge following from Unreal Unearth and have been asked afew times about it. So Im gon give afew recommendations

Seo Linn - Folk/Indie/Soft Rock group formed in Conamara and have a good range of sounds ranging from newer covers of our most popular folk songs (Óró sé do bheatha abhaile , Siúil a Rúin and Mo ghile mear are among the best) and are a good intro point

IMLÉ - More of a collection of artists who bring different sound styles together and topics in their lyrics. Honestly, just take the entireity of the self-titled album as a taster

Róisín Seoighe - A great soloist and someone who transfers aspects of Canadh Sean Nós into a newer format. Alot of her work and songs touch on the state of Gaeilge (Níl mé marbh and Sín do lamh).

Kneecap - One of the more well-known, atleast over here. A rap trio from Belfast/Derry, and alot of their lyrics and flow focuses much more on the specific experience of both millenial life and Gaeilgeoirí and An Ghaeilge in the North, and what its actually like trying to engage with society through our language when half of the the governmental institution has contempt for its existence. CEARTA, one of their singles, has still stayed a sort of aintiún (anthem) for language rights up here in the North. Also, heavy heavy anti-colonialism, mar sin craic Mhaith (see their JOE.ie interview). Otherwise, some of ther best works you might like are Cearta, Bouncers agus Gael-Gigolos

TG Lurgan - A sort of summer school/learning scheme that started out of the Connemara Gaeltacht, meant to help irish learners pick up the more natural flow specifically by learning through music. Nearly all of the music is sung by school kids and leading musicians with the majority being covers of pop songs. So you can find the lyrics online easily, and can be a helpful way for people trying to learn how to deal with the lack of real word-for-word translation ó Ghaeilge go Béarla.

This is just a handful of artists, and the first handful rarely scrape over 2000 streams a month. Modern irish music is still very much a niche in its own way, miserably so even on our island. Theres no shortage of music you can find being made by newer artists though, even if ceol as gaeilge only makes up some of their work

Tá súil agam go bhfaighidh tú roinnt a mbaineann tú taitneamh astu, agus má tá tú ag foghlaim, go gcabhraíonn sé leat

#stumbled on seo linn a couple years back #they're one of my top bands now #highly recommend them! #gonna check out all the others myself #gaeilge #music

passenger princess? No, I’m the passenger knight. I’ve sworn an oath of homoerotic loyalty to the driver and will protect them until my last breath. I will carry out her road rage. I’m why the front passenger seat is called shotgun

excited to finally publish the game i've spent the past few months steadily working on. it started off as a small project and ended up growing much bigger.

'Explore an abandoned underground city and find out what lies within its ruins.

You are Fareye, the leader of a group of adventurers tasked with exploring the famous ruined city of Elysis as penance for a heist gone wrong. What happened to this city, the reason for its abandonment, is a mystery. One that you will soon solve. Traverse through these ancient ruins with your party and discover what lurks within the shadows as you journey deeper and deeper beneath the earth.'

the urge to restart my pillars 1 and 2 play throughs is very strong... i did get a decent amount in but also. i did a couple quest lines in a weird way i'm not satisfied with for my watchers so i think i'm gonna do it. at least with the first one, maybe i'll wait on starting deadfire over because i didn't get as far in that one.

I’m losing my fucking mind there’s a whole god damn online database full of illustrations for illuminated manuscripts, you don’t need a subscription or anything. And it has a search function so you can enter key words for whatever you want to see. Right now I’m looking for fucked up illustrations of the apocalypse in Revelations, like so;

If you click the images on the website they come out super high def too. They also have a couple bestiaries, as well as some illustrations of the Divine Comedy. This is my new best friend I’m so fucking excited

#my favorite shit #illuminations #illuminated manuscript #words cannot express how much i love funky little illuminated guys #even just the word illuminated is cool af
