I don't normally do this but for those who might share my interest in physical/old web media, I recently went through a journey, digging for answers about an old disk that held some of my earliest fantasy inspiration.

Venting cause this stuck with me. 15 years of being inspired by nox arcana's music. I didn't mean to imply the boarder or music was ai, I just felt like the patterning on the sleeve was obvious and I'm saddened by not only them not noticing but them refusing to notice

As a bonus, I wanted to show off this new acrylic painting I did. 8x24" is the biggest I've done yet and I intend on overcoming my confidence issues by submitting it to a local gallery

More creatures from my book!
These are the Gnar, wolfish creatures that grow the entire duration of their lives. Highly intelligent, they are capable of remembering faces and can carry out a grudge through generations

First post prioritizing bluesky over "x". Just really love drawing my lich oc, Rhenach. He's changed alot since I originally drew him back in 2014 and now he's going to be in a book I'm writing!

Waking up to 7 notifications is now my record for this website, bless. Currently trying to combat a specific flavor of artist "I'm not good enough", where I feel like my pieces aren't dynamic enough and more often than not, boil down to 'just a dude' <D

I want so badly to share my lore with the world but it's difficult to talk about because everything is interconnected more or less and I personally find it difficult to separate the pieces. Some worlds are linear, some worlds have branching paths..my world is a loop.

I get asked how I got good or for art tips. While I was naturally interested in art as most kids are, the adults in my life did not support me. My art was a reprieve from abuse and still how I cope. AI promptoids are nothing more than bullies who refuse to acknowledge the concept of art as therapy

The ttrpg I've been developing isn't a sandbox and I know that might not appeal to most people but I personally like alot of defined structure and learning the rules of a world.
I've put so much love into writing lore and illustrating the whole book as I am the only person working on it

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.
