BG illustrator.Watercolor artist. Digital Art hiatus (mostly).Timbs and soccer jersey collector.YouTube poop enjoyer. I love games like For Honor and Soulcalibur 6 way too much. My disdain for Dad of Boi is well documented.
This one’s from December 3rd of 2025. I take any opportunity to drive around New Mexico. There’s always something over there to paint.

Because I already HAVE adblock, and a lifetime supply of music for offline listening. 😎

I pity the fool who sings the praises of YouTube premium, and much more the fool who unironically recommends it to me.

I noticed almost nobody says “troll/trolling” all that much as of typing this. They call it “rage bait” nowadays, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Can’t believe I didn’t upload this when I finished it, but here you go. My first painting of 2026. It was originally created for an event called “AA Radio” at the Artoholics Anonymous Discord server. Basically you make something based on a song an anon participant sends you.

My first Watercolor. Well, one of my first at least. This was pre-Corona Virus.

I think it's the opposite :D
If you like playing them regardless of outcome, that means your joy isn't dependent on your performance, it's the most chill of experiences :3

Kinda like me with Dark Souls, just playing it is everything for me
Liking fighting games and being dogshit at them is the worst curse a person can suffer

I trust NO artist who draws their human self conventionally good looking, hot, sexy, or easy-on-the-eyes.

True, I owe at least one answer out of three, lol. sorry to keep you. my best guests are: Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7, and Kratos in GOW 1.

I’ve fumbled on the perspective, I wanted it to look like a crowded metropolis. Actually, it’s meant to be a reconstruction of Xunantunich (in what is now Belize). But there wasn’t much to work with, since it’s not as neatly preserved as Palenque and the likes.

A Little Fall Painting with 💛 Bismuth Yellow 💛

Oil paint on a 6x6" Pro-Tones canvas. You can buy this canvas from Jerry's Artarama. It comes pre-toned in a neutral gray.

Omg! I haven't posted anything here in 2 months!

Perfect collab and cross promotion campaign. But nooo, Nintendo (and by that extension, Bamco) is allergic to nice things.

A study of The Mayan fortress of Tulum. In what is now Cancun, Mexico. As always, I like illustrating what these places may have looked like before they were abandoned.

Congolese Moambe Chicken 🇨🇩🇨🇫. Cooking this wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. (Would you believe it’s also made out of peanut butter?)

I don’t fw fandoms and never will. Im much better off comfortably staying in my lane and enjoying something without the baggage of interacting with people who take their pop culture too seriously.

2/2 make fun of Deviantart all you want, but uploading artwork and displaying a gallery was infinitely better. It was much more organized, and with enough tags, you could always easily find what you were looking for the search bar of each artist’s page.

1/2: I do not get the appeal of moving to a site like Tumblr or Twitter for artists when they want to relocate their portfolio. Scrolling near endlessly to find one particular artwork of theirs sucks, scrolling’s the LAST thing I want to do.

By that extension, despite popular belief, “All Star” wasn’t first used to promote Shrek. It was actually first used in a movie called “Mystery Men” which predates Shrek by 3 years.

My favorite funfact from the first Shrek movie is that Smash mouth’s “All Star” wasn’t actually meant to be used in the movie’s intro (but a placeholder until they composed an original song). But, the test audiences loved the All Star version so much, they took it as a good sign to just keep it
