After this and DUNE, I think we’re good on brutalist interpretations of fantastical stories.
I appreciate a well executed singular vision.
But I think people yearn for some sincere fantasy storytelling that doesn’t look like concrete

My Magic the Gathering cards from 2025🎨
This felt like my big debut year and I’ve worked on soooo many cards since doing these. Thankful for all the new friends and fans I’ve gained in the MtG world this year

Human imperfection and the will to better oneself is a part of creative expression that is vital to the arts and the survival of artists.
Folks arguing for AI to replace artists couldn't care less about art itself. They want an easy product w/out the burden of humanity. Evil shit

I had terrible allergies as a kid so I couldn’t be outside much, couldn’t do sports, so I had to get creative and use my imagination inside all the time.
Watched a lot of cartoons and wanted to draw them

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!
It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!
So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖
