I wanted to get involved in #Swordtember this year, but I wasn't sure that I would be able to do an image each day. What I CAN do is a little bit of prompt-based worldbuilding everyday!
I'm using Faith Shaffer's list, and for day one, I present the "Shell" prompt!

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Sometimes you have to buy a 99p shitty ass sketchbook and a £1 rainbow biro pen and draw on your floor like when you were a kid to get your art spark back again
And would you believe it's actually worked

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.
Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.
Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.
Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

super sad about Drew Struzan. He was excellent at capturing likeness but never made illustrations that felt stiff. He made whatever he illustrated look cooler. His use of light ❤️❤️. His collages never felt thrown together. Rest in peace. Thankyou for the inspiration. No one can touch you.

I really enjoy just looking at a piece of art and then thinking about how I would adapt it into my medium of choice - dice. XD
I love taking the art apart into the parts that stand out to me and then taking that part and somehow putting it into dice. 😌
This will be available on Tuesday!

This is one of those sets that I really dig the vibe of, but I have absolutely no idea if anyone will be interested in it xD But maybe that's also because I don't often make dark green dice.

Tom is underselling himself. EVERY piece he creates is a labour of love. This one just happens to have been blessed and favoured, all at once!
Other than His Master’s Voice, which has a special place in my heart, this is probably my favourite piece of Tom's to date!
