ELRIC AT THE FORGE OF FOREVER (2019)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 14 ½” x 6 ½”

When I tossed out the old container of paints used to do the cover painting for WORDS OF RADIANCE, it landed upside down in my wastebasket on a piece of paperboard I had been using as a palette for something else. 1/2

Elric stands on an outcrop of rock with skulls at his feet. He wears a black hooded cloak trimmed in gold and jeweled bracers. He cradles Stormbringer as the length of the runesword, glowing purple, extends well above his head. Below him water spills frothy onto the shore but as it stretches back, placid and glassy, it gives way to erupting vents of lava.

you are free of the fellowship, but you are now bound to wander alone for as long as you continue to live. you insist that you feel nothing. you are lying to yourself

drawing of ironeye (allegedly) standing in front of a dark, twilit sky. his clothes are partially torn and bloody, he has a halo styled after the cursemark of death, and his right eye is glowing. next pic is the exact same thing but without the eye glow

Digital illustration centred around my OC, The Matriarch. It is a feminine humanoid with long white hair and white skin, a burst of red light is emerging from a yonic hole in its abdomen. My other OC, Aeolus, looks up at it while holding his own injured and bleeding arm. In the distance is a staircase with a gate at the top, that shows a familiar feminine silhouette. The rest of the illustration contains motifs of gears, stars, and clouds

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Thank you for this!

I'm on SNAP & Medicaid, I work two jobs & I am currently undergoing long-term treatment for 2 types of blood cancer. SNAP & food banks have literally been life-savers. I cant reopen comms just yet, but even a little something helps! (pls no pressure tho!!!)

Fanart of Messmer the Impaler from Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, mid readying his lance, his arm and one of his snakes in the foreground ready to strike.

Fanart of Alucard and Drolta from Castlevania Nocturne, based off of the episode where they fought in the museum, they are clashing demonic arm spike to sword, Drolta mad with her new-found power and Alucard deeply aggravated by the situation.

Fanart of Vrtra and Estinien from FFXIV Endwalker. Estinien has his lance readied, prepared to fight the hoards of Blasphemies as they descend upon Radz at Han, while Vrtra flies in at his side, ready to defend his people and land with fiery draconic breath

Fanart of Hades/Emet-Selch, Venat and Hythlodaeus with their weapons from the Trust Dungeon(the version I had as a DPS!) from FFXIV Endwalker.

It's Halloween time! 🎃👻

It reminds me of that old piece of art I made! One day I will bring your story to life, little Requiem... 🦈✨

#shark #sharks

"In a condition that hovers between life and death, Requiem is lost in limbo in the depths of the sea. And on a lonely journey, she searches for her ends that were stolen by a fisherman. However, she will not be alone, there are others like her."

A large illustration showing a supernatural ocean landscape, with various ghost fish of many species, such as tuna, sardines, and sunfish, swimming in an ocean current where a submerged lighthouse can be seen on the horizon.

Near a ghostly coral reef, there is a little shark with translucent fins, accompanied by a ghost manta ray. Together, they search for something they have lost in this unknown landscape.

Returning to an old favorite, Revolutionary Girl Utena🌹

Utena and Anthy break free, with a pink motorcycle no less! They wouldn’t have it any other way 🏍️

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.
