Goblin! I had the pleasure to illustrate multiple characters for the Cypher System Bestiary by Monte Cook Games some years ago. As I wasn't as proficient with creature design, this was a fun challenge where I learned a lot when it comes to gestures, silhouettes and proportion.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

One of my favorite things about the sous vide is that it's almost impossible to overcook food, even if you forget to set a timer.
