They do NOT look like a pickle. Don't tell them that! It was an accident!!!
A small armoured person holding a paddle like staff and wearing a helmet roughly twice as tall as themselves, their armour is greenish.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Nothing says Christmas like a whole wheat kitty loaf warming on the radiator. Photo from my collection, ca. 1970s (in case you can't tell by the rainbow of browns).
A plump brown tabby cat is lying on top of a brown radiator cover, in the form of a soft and pleasant loaf. The photo is warm with wood paneled walls and many other brown interior decorating tones of the 1970s.

A Mystery Artwork commission for @ajandersonauthor.com of their character, Chora ✨

The base was sketched in pencil and I added the colour digitally. I'm having a lot of fun with these experimental comms!

A mixed media portrait resembling an old medallion with gold ochre vines wrapped around a circular frame. In the frame there's a young Asian woman wearing a dark armour, holding a sword and looking behind her shoulder. Commission for A. J. Anderson.

Using a rejected client thumbnail to practice more with watercolor 😅 (with some pastel and gouche for touchups).
A watercolor portrait of woman facing to the right, her face shadowed and tinted pink-purple, against a black background with white branches in the foreground.

Postcard from my collection, sent 1912.
Vintage illustrated postcard with a drawing of a medium haired cat tangled up in string with a bandage around its head looking quite pathetic. Text on it says I have troubles of my own. Don’t mention yours.

I hope that on this #GivingTuesday you might consider a donation to my fundraiser for our local shelter. They don't just adopt out animals - they run a low-cost vet and spay/neuter clinic, offer emergency pet housing for domestic violence victims, and so much more. givebutter.com/n5l31M

Thinkin a lot about my teenage Talent that, so far, is simply having the worst day 24/7. Started a political outrage among the Wode elves our party was negotiating with, plagued with violent prophetic dreams, plus developing weird psionic powers?? All while finishing puberty?? Yikes. #DrawSteel

My human Talent for my tuesday night #DrawSteel game decided to levitate one of our dwarf's granite cubes (bc apparently you can just... make cubes during a respite??).

Anyways, he isn't the brightest fellow 😔
