A gorgon looks at the viewer. She is dressed in 80s style tweed jacket and has long snake themed earrings. Snakes form a bob like style around her face.

A tiefling walks down a hall of a ruin, torch raised, illuminating a large spider. Surrounded by webbing and spider eggs line the floor and hang from the ceiling.

A mage fearfully looks behind them towards an unseen monster that has them in their clutches.... Damaged hat flys away.

A mage floats above a rocky desert outcrop. Magic swirls around them as they look off into the distance.

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.

$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

Darnelli painted in the style of William Waterhouse's painting 'Boreas'. She is holding a light blue cloth around her hair as the wind whips around her. She has dark skin, long wavy dark hair intertwined with light blue yarn, and freckles. Character by Periwinkchlo

Abstract Portrait Illustration Commission of a pale skinned, white haired elf gentleman. Heavily stylized white hair loosely styled into a braid tied with a red ribbon flows over his back. He is wearing a teal blouse and looking over his shoulder at the viewer. A ray of white lightning crosses the canvas going through his eye.

Painterly portrait of AdamCrow's character Phillip Bellum, a white man with a scar across his face, chin length black hair, golden eyes and stubble. The background is red and fiery, and his piercing gaze is fixed on the viewer.

Full Body Illustration of my OC, genasi/water elemental transmutation wizard Marlon Vixry, a Dungeons and Dragons Strixhaven character. Marlon is male, with blue skin and water-like dark hair, heavy makeup, gray eyes and dark blue scleras. In this illustration he is standing confidently and sassily, Wearing a red victorian blouse, a corset with golden detailing, black shorts and thigh-high stockings made out of frost. He's wearing golden claws as well.

Marlon is he/him.

Womp, software subs are a scam because they were always going to do this, esp after their shift to ai.

As I sort through my stuff deciding what to keep, donate, or sell of my books I've found a lot I should read or reread... So this month I'm going to reread these to try and up my art... I read them in college a decade ago so I was probably so tired and busy I probably learned nothing.

I think this is a way to simply close the Kennedy Center for good and funnel money for the 'reservations' somewhere else.

Is it crazy that when my family was dealing with our own malignant narcissist there was also a very boring documentary.....? Admittably, on shoe-string white trash budget/production level...

I kinked my neck while sleeping like a week ago and it is still messed up. I might need to get a special pillow, this isn't the first time I hurt it while asleep.
