Illustration of my vampire oc Renwick; he has pale skin, black hair, and purple eyes, and wears a red Regency era suit. He stares puzzled at the viewer and is perched on top of a wooden sign that reads "BEWARE OF VAMPIRES". Lineup of Loras Tyrell costumes, including a set of green armor with golden rose details, a green Rococo-style suit with a champagne undershirt, and a set of silver and gold armor with a rainbow cloak and small golden rose details. Tempest of Tea fanart featuring the main characters (from left to right: Laith (and Opal the cat), Jin, Matteo, Arthie, and Flick) all gathered around Matteo as he shows them something he’d drawn. Illustration of my character Valentin, a half-elf with pink hair and skin who wears fancy green and magenta clothing and a flower crown. He stands on a Mediterranean style balcony and stares serenely out towards the countryside

When you're rping the tragic part of your dnd character's backstory, then they start crying, then you start crying and you hurt yourself with the imaginary character that you made with the story you wrote, and you're ugly sobbing, and your heart hurts.

Ren enjoys reading and ballet and gets to do both! Well, his fighting style was inspired by ballet, anyway

What sort of hobbies does your MC have? Do they get to do this in your book/wip, or is there just never time? #WritingPrompt

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

QRP with some pieces from 2025 that you're really proud of!

I think I really leveled up these past few months in particular; I learned so many tricks wrt lighting and rendering and making a piece pop!
Waist up illustration of the Starks from A Song of Ice and Fire, all in winter clothes and looking pensively or apprehensively to the left. From left to right: Bran, Sansa, Robb, Eddard, Catelyn, Arya, Rickon, and Jon Snow An illustration of a vampire man with black hair and a red suit gazing wistfully offscreen while sitting in a tree. Beside him on the tree is a wooden sign reading TURN BACK NOW. A beautiful pink-skinned elven man with pink hair and green and purple clothes stares lovingly at a handheld gold and pink mirror Back view of a girl with white hair and a purple dress smiling serenely as she stretches her arm out towards a small black and red dragon

Illustration of two vampires. One dressed in white, Casimir, is holding onto the hilt of his sword that was stabbed into the other's chest. One dressed in red, Valerius, is laying on the ground looking up at Casimir with a smirk. White butterflies are seen puddling around the blood on Valerius' wound and fluttering around the scene.

instead of making art purely for more engagement or follower numbers, may i suggest making art so you can force what followers you have into seeing your cute OCs eating burgers or cooking with an air fryer

are there accounts or feeds for project (zine, anthology, etc.) announcements that center on original characters? I want to be apart of more collective projects in the new year, health permitting! especially of the queer, erotic, gothic variety and am always just missing submission deadlines.

Copic art of Tyranny, disguised as Occtis, snarling and turning their hands into pink claws. A small circular panel shows guards going “HMMM” labelled “live knight reaction”.

Bsky is what you make it. Thats the point. It’s your job to find cool people, to communicate with them, to customise your experience. Bsky can be a truly great place to talk to
share art and have real conversations.
But you’ve got yo make it happen.
Algorithms won’t do it for you.
And it’s GOOD

So happy to see new people meeting THE BEST GIRL through the Mighty Nein show! 😍 She's so dang lovable.

(and yes, that's Laura Bailey! I played her duplicate and consulted on her makeup/costume for a twitch sub promo and an anniversary video back in 2022.)
A side-by-side pair of photos of Ginny in costume as Jester, a blue tiefling. In the first image, she clutches her hands to her chest, a curious expression on her face. In the second, one hand is on her hip and the other is at her mouth as she gives a sly smile. Laura Bailey and Ginny Di standing side by side, both dressed as Jester the blue tiefling. A side-by-side pair of photos of Ginny in costume as a modern version of Jester. She wears tall, pink striped socks and a denim jacket with pins and patches on it, including a big hand-painted patch on the back that reads "Chaos Crew" Ginny is dressed as Jester, doing a classic pin-up pose. The handle of her lollipop is caught on her skirt, revealing legs in black sheer thigh-high stockings.
