Howdy, I'm an artist who draws background layouts for a living, and goblins for fun! (He/Him)

Work on the Almanac progresses, but I am pausing to tease this little prairie goblin drawing that I absolutely adore.
Image: a goblin crouched in the grass beside a large hickory tree. It is in shade so all that is visible is it's silhouette against the grass.

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI)

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic strip in four panels: 1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content. > Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora. > Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds: > Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us! 4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer... > Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. > Wizards: ... ... ...

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

JOINT STATEMENT: Hollywood Labor on Pulling of Jimmy Kimmel Live w/ @sagaftra.org @directorsguild.bsky.social @afm-union.bsky.social
The indefinite removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live under government pressure is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing trend of increasing interference in creative expression. This kind of political pressure on broadcasters and artists chills free speech and threatens the livelihoods of thousands of working Americans. When a private citizen, business, or television network bows to government intimidation, it strikes at the heart of our First Amendment rights. Creative artists must be free to do their work without fear that their careers or their family’s livelihoods will be disrupted simply for their opinions. These cases pull the rug out from under the hardworking American workers behind the scenes who make these productions possible. At a time when America’s film and television industry is still struggling due to globalization and industry contraction, further unnecessary job losses only make a bad situation worse. Finally, media companies have a responsibility to defend their workers and the integrity of the stories they tell. All broadcasters must stand firm in defense of free expression and the First Amendment, not capitulate to a policy of political appeasement.

I love bascinets so much
Drawing of a knight in plate armor wearing a bascinet helmet and a green tabard. He is wielding a two handed pole arm. The artist clearly did not bother finishing the coloring and was only interested in painting the helmet. What a shame.
