My dentist made me schedule a checkup after the holidays since I had a really bad burn on the roof of my mouth. (I don’t remember doing it but maybe it was from some soup???)
…a few days ago my dog accidentally headbutted me in the lip and now I have a nasty bruise/cut to show them on Monday lol

My sister is an elementary school teacher. She translated this as “Barbie and a Lego Robot,” and I think she might be right.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

there's a certain way certain people write fiction about disability that really sets my teeth on edge, and it's an approach that I can only describe as 'educational hugboxing'
in this, portrayal of disability must be constantly affirming, and it must use specific and correct terminology

It doesn’t look like much, but I feel like this made me see I was improving, and all the hours of practice was worth it! It kicked off a lot of artistic breakthroughs.

In 2020 I stopped drawing due to major surgery and artistic burnout.
In 2025 I got the drive to create back while playing/DMing TTRPGs. I used this energy to learn more about digital art. The first portrait of the year is in the top left corner, and the last in the bottom right.
Here's to 2026!

Now that we’ve played a few games I replaced the placeholder token for Talia, a fresh LV2 Paladin to a sea god.
She was raised in a coastal town and worked on ships after that, so she isn’t very knowledgeable about the rest of the world. Talia means well, but is kind of a Barbie orc Amelia Bedelia.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

My Wild Magic Barbarian's noble parents have embarrassing family portraits decorating their estates. The party got to see what Flare looked like as an insecure elven preteen.
She immediately reverted emotionally to this stage of her life upon seeing her brother, much to everyone's frustration.
