I'm so happy I managed to pull this pose out htrhtrht I hated figuring out the feet so much

But wanted to draw a younger Nyanda, back when she was a regular alive drow and not a dhampir!

hello hello, today I bring one of the most detailed pieces I've made up to date, made for the Character Study zine!

I know cyberpunk isn't the typical dnd setting but Centi's campaign has been the longest and most emotional game I've been part of so far, so I really wanted to draw a tribute to it, especially now that it's ending (just the epilogue left!)

I'm gonna miss playing this chaotic lesbian ❤️

#Boo's Art #That is a SUPER impressive background! <3 #Very well done!

Don't Use GenSlop on your Book Covers!

I am absolutely baffled by the number of AUTHORS willing to use AI art on their book covers. This seems counter-productive. I will not buy a book that uses AI on the cover because it VERY STRONGLY suggests that the writing content is also genSlop. 

Like, why shoot yourself in the foot like that, when there are literally SO MANY WAYS to make an amazing book cover without compromising your integrity? 

It's not just indie authors I put on the shitlist, either. Paolini is on there for the cover of Fractal Noise. He's arguably the one who opened the door to these creativity leeches, because his book was the first.

And there's so many authors who are proud of "taking down" artists, like we were ever on a pedestal to begin with. Dude. We never made enough to survive. By taking us down, you're taking us from "barely scraping by" to "dead in the gutter." The truth is, extremely successful artists will be fine, because their names carry them through and get them work. People want art in Michael Whelan's style, for example. The people GenSlop will hurt are the artists that didn't even make $15K/year on their artwork. 

The most frustrating thing I've seen going around is the whole "LOL artists will need to get a real job now!" and this just reeks of the gutting of arts programs in schools in the 1990s and 2000s. It means that little boys consider "football" a career to aspire to, but not "book cover artist." To me? FOOTBALL is the hobby, and the people who play it professionally get paid WAY too much to do it. To me, art is ten THOUSAND percent more valuable. 

But I'm not going to go around hoping NHL players get "taken down a peg." Even if wishing for that is INFINITELY less cruel than hoping artists go hungry because you think they're gatekeeping. 

I will not buy your book if the cover is AI. I will not buy your book if you even HINT you're supportive of AI. I will not buy your book if you decide you need to be "devil's advocate" or say something like "the AI debate isn't black and white." It is. AI is bullshit. Use of it is theft. You are a fucking criminal in my eyes if you use gen AI on a book cover, and I will assume your writing is AI-generated, too. Full stop. 

There are so many ways to get a quality book cover without breaking the bank or underpaying artists. Those ways existed BEFORE GenAI, and they exist now. You have no excuse for that shit. Knock it off.

Of course the only plan is to find eleven of your friends to all make trolls and then make a proper sgrub game of it XD

(did it once, pure chaos, but made my best friends out of it lol)

So uh. Happy 4/13! Here's my freshly finished fantroll, bc I thought it'd be funny to make one on 2024 I guess-

I don't have a name for her, so suggestions would be welcome. I wanted to push a bit the bug traits, as well as some bull-like stuff since she's a rustblood. No idea what I'll do for her. Probably another tiefling for DnD. It's the pipeline, anyhow-

working on getting a design down for the short comic codenamed "Lilypads" for now! This is the main love interest named Lil! She is a Macabris from my original setting, one of the "human" races.

The scars/patchwork look to the skin is a trait of their people. Also common in the culture people go by nicknames so often they are treated like real names. Actually an indicator of age to be more known by nicknames than real name! Lil is in her forties and is widowed now after her former wife passed away. The story focuses on her dealing with the grief and finding love again with a beast of the bayou c:

Overall, happy with first attempt to get her design down and more just a few tweeks/formalizing more details!

#My art #concept art #sketch art #Lil of the bayou #Obscuraverse #so far liking how she's turning out!

Decided to draw Cavale for the first time since 2020, she was an NPC in a previous now abandoned text based campaign of mine!

It was a nice exercise since I've been feeling like I've made absolutely no progresses those pas few years, so it was nice to have a visual reminder that I do in fact evolve!

Headshot portraits for the player characters of my campaign I'm slowly building and the one main NP c: They are playing a homebrew people who shift to sea creatures, so also have to give a token of their fish form too!

From top to bottom:

Umut-Lek: Sea Cucumber belongs to @madasa16

Demi-Mal: Bull Shark belongs to @Frost20026606

Akula-Esca: Remora belongs to Johnda!

Oro Itsaso: Weedy Sea Dragon belongs to @konkubus

Ai-Taro: ??? (form kept secret!) belongs to MEEEE!

Art for tokens and now onto doing art for the NPCs and big bad (as they are introduced in part one!)

I joined in the recent Secret Satan art exchange event and got @leidensygdom as my recipient! All their OCs are VERY much my jam but I chose to draw the wonderful Argyros 👁

#GASS2024 #Argyros #behold a little holy bot! #the lines on this are so smooth <3

Secret satan time!! Here’s the piece I did for @//meadow_cryptid (insta) of their character Reykur!🥀🌅♦️

Thanks as usual thanks to @leidensygdom for running the event! 

#GASS2024 #This pose is amazing! #the expression too! #just everything about this is perfection <3

Happy Secret Satan everyone! I got the absolute honor of drawing for the amazing @smashdraws! I choose her character Enixion Amantea, the student of the stars 📜🌱✨

I absolutely feel in love with this character's design the moment I saw it, and I knew that I had to go ham on the moon/stars aesthetic. For the background I tried my hand at mimicking those long exposure photographs you see of the stars in the night sky, and I just had to have them sitting on the moon 🌠🌟🌌 This character was so so so much fun and super relaxing to draw, and I really hope you enjoy my interpretation of them!

#GASS2024 #Lovely colors! #The glow of the moon contrasted with the character is well done #such a lovely composition <3
