The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

Repost from last year but I still quite like this piece I did after reading Deerskin by Robin McKinley.

Books are my main inspiration for the art I make.

Reedpop, a company tied to multi-million dollar ICE contracts produces NYCC, Emerald City Comic Con, PAX East, PAX unplugged and more

Fascism has no place in the game community and I won't be attending or supporting any of these cons unless they sever ties with Reedpop

everyone tell your friends and relatives about digital library loans!
I did recently tell my 80-yr-old father (who *never* used to read when I was growing up) about digital library loans and he is over the moon about them. He texts me regular updates on how many books he’s read since then; the most recent number was 20. 🥹

I scanned the sketch, tinted it to sepia tones in photoshop, printed it out on watercolor paper at a slightly larger size (12x16), and got the initial washes of color down. I did color tests in photoshop so I knew how to approach the tones. This is about an hour's worth of painting so far, I think?

Not only is this a cool homebrew subclass, but I drew the cover art! 😁
Do you want to help decide which subclasses I will work on next? Perhaps join my Patreon to support future releases as well as help decide what subclass should be made next!
