Kneesvember 2025 Day 18
We see Bagglyn and Grell following the red knight along the water's edge with greenery in the background. Bagglyn still has the arrow through her cap, and has now attached the yellow knight's sword to a rope around her belt and it is being dragged behind her. She is also now sporting the blue knight's discarded eye patch. The solemn trio continued their queste upstream. "What cowardice on display from the Queen's supposed finest!" said the red knight. "How is it that two historians are braver than knighted warriors?" "This beats manual labour," said Grell. "–ah what my colleague means is that the strenuous transcribing of historical manuscripts is not for the faint of heart," Bagglyn was quick to add. "Quite," said the red knight, narrowing his eyes.

trompe l'oeil
a meta 3d render of a cintiq with blender open, and a hand holding the default cube, attempting to evoke the aesthetic of 19th century trompe l'oeil paintings.

Time for a new thread of new shinies!

As usual, the shop can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness...

Beginning on Thursday I will be shipping every two days, and then going to every day, so as to get people's shiny goodness to them as quickly as possible.

The image is drawn duochromatically, with red and green. There is a gull taking up the majority of the frame and it is eating the snail. A red spiral is drawn emanating from the snail. Before the blue knight could yell "Dragon!", the creature descended from the sky and in one flick of its beak, devoured the snail whole. "Mine steed!" cried the red knight. "Mine sweet, slimy steed!"

🧵 Before Hollywood turned her green, L. Frank Baum’s Wicked Witch of the West looked very different… & she appears only briefly in the 1900 book. 📚

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I've been playing around with Procreates new brushes, lot's of fun textures to experiment with! Haven't had a ton of time to draw lately so this felt like a special little love letter to the season

The red knight is in the foreground, speaking to a distracted group. Grell is wistfully watched the snipe wading away. The blue knight is releasing the yellow knight's steed, the great bumblebee. The blue knight's dragonfly steed is hovering overhead. And finally, Bagglyn has her cap back–with arrow still lodged through it–and is tentatively picking up the yellow knight's discarded sword. "Hah! That was no Dragon, but a mere malevolent minion of darkness!" scoffed the red knight. "Forget that yellow-bellied knight and her leaden greaves. Onward! I have a strong notion we shall find what we seek." So onward they went–toward certain disaster!

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Kneesvember 2025 Day 7
Without warning, the knights erupted from the bushes and immediately subdued Bagglyn and Grell. "Who are you and why are you following us?" spat the red knight. Author note: there is an image of the blue knight shooting his crossbow in a very cool fashion The red knight marches aggressively through bushes to our peasant warblers. Bagglyn has had her red hat shot off and stuck to the trunk of a tree by the blue knight. Grell is lying prone on the ground with a blank look on his face. The yellow knight has her boot on Grell with her sword pointed directly at him.

Tiny dancer! Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.
Black and white photo of a stout middle aged woman with dark hair standing outside on a scrubby dead lawn. She is leaning forward and holding the forepaws of a shorthaired tabby cat so that it is “dancing” with her on its hind legs. She seems to be smiling at the cat and maybe talking to it.
