Hi guys, thanks for the love on this one. I decided to put a couple more hours into just to get it to a place where I was happy with it. Also, realized it wasn't Nausicaa unless I also added Teto to the picture.

Included a ref sheet feat. @trueref.bsky.social and my initial sketch.
For #goblinweek2026, please enjoy this goat-grabbing goblin speed-paint from around 2004.

Painted in Corel Photo-Paint on a 19" CRT monitor.

one neat thing about being a professional artist is that you get to draw a salary

"How do you get a rock guitarist to stop playing? Put sheet music in front of him."

This is the sheet music of animation, the exposure sheet. In larger studios, a principal animator draws the main (key) poses and uses this to communicate to an "inbetweener" what they want between the key frames.

Uber put all of the Crazy Taxi drivers out of work so it's no surprise some of them ended up as bus drivers.

Calling this a work-in-progress even though I'm not sure I want to put more time into it. A digital oil #painting of Hayao Miyazaki's Princess #Nausicaa character. Painted in #Rebelle 8 using my new #XP-Pen 14" pen display (great product for $280!)

A local Reno dial-up BBS called "Excaliber's Scabbard"

Spent many teenage hours playing text-based RPGs like Legend of the Red Dragon, and chatting in the chat room.

Also a telnet BBS called YABBS (Yet Another BBS).
Okay, let's get nostalgic

What was the VERY FIRST online platform that you became addicted to posting on?????

Incredible thread. Hugo worthy.
By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

Introducing Xenovenator espinosai, a new troodontid dinosaur with some fascinating cranial anatomy. I had the honour of being approached to create the illustration for this week’s official announcement. (1/3) #SciArt

Big thing for me lately when a website or app is not working right, like for example, not recognizing a very basic input, is yelling, “what do you think anything is or means???”’

what do you think anything is or means????????

This is the gun that's mentioned in act 1 and fired in act 3

A gun hidden within a bible, made for Francesco Morozini, Doge of Venice 1600s. The owner of the bible could pull the silk bookmark to shoot while the book was still closed

Wife got me a very nice black and yellow plaid flannel for Xmas, and halfway through me poorly explaining what an-caps are I realized I should've just said I didn't care for the color.

it's hilarious how tech guys went from "NFT proves that digital art has value" to "GenAI makes digital art too cheap to meter" over a period of about 6 months.
