Heartbeat Highschool advertisement featuring Chloe, a cool stoner girl with blue hair in a side ponytail. Chloe is fat and wears a pair of cute pastel overalls that have a color block pattern. She's blowing heart-shaped smoke out of her mouth and has one hand held out to support her bass guitar case. There is a QR code to the link in the post, the HBHS logo, and a caption that simply says "Hey."

A long form comic of a fight scene from my comic Blue A U universe, a Steven Universe fancomic. 1: Carnelian, a fusion of Jasper and Spinel from Steven Universe, is punched by Garnet, sending her flying. 2: Carnelian smashes into the Crystal temple wall. 3: Garnet notices something, looking down. 4: Carnelians 3rd hand has been clenched on Garnets ankle. 5: Garnet is yanked off her feet towards Carnelian. 6: Rainbow Quartz: Garnet!! 7: panel of the crevice Carnelian was punched into. 8: Close up of Carnelian smiling. Cover work for Tidal Wave Games "The Cybernetics Catalogue" TTRPG 2024 A digital drawing of a nonbinary character, with purple dyed hair shaved on both sides, but long in the middle, and a light shining from their eyes, where their purple should be. They are showing off their mechanical arms, holding one over the other in front of them. their arms are covered in stickers, showcasing various queer symbols and rebellious phrases. they are in a mid drift binder or shirt, with a short-sleeved red jacket, purple jeans, and a bag attached to their belt. The background is the trans flag colors pixilated around them. A page from a test comic, where twp characters are summoning something in a graveyard at night. 1: Blue haired girl: Take this blood offering, and rise! 2: green haired boy ducks behind his magic book as the cauldren glows. 3: full page showing the whole scheme as the smoke billows out of the cauldron, and the wind moves it in circles around the gravestones. Cover work for Tidal Wave Games for the Heartbeat Highschool 2025 TTRPG. The cover shows the 3 main OC's. The one closest is Dani has long orange hair and is wearing a green top that's tied in the front, paired with cutoff jean shorts. She is reaching back with her right hand, like she's leading the viewer to school. She's giving a big smile to the viewer. The second closest is Sam, who is short with freckles and brown hair. They are wearing a sporty sweatband, jacket, and carrying a sports bag. they are turned to the left to facr the viewer, holding up their right hand in a fist while giving a big smile. The furthest away is Mark, he has a dirty blond mullet with big headphones, ripped jeans, and a flannel jacket. Mark is facing to the right, but is glancing towards the viewer looking unimpressed. The background is a sunny day in front of the school building, with a slight heart motif, as the school clock tower has a heart in the middle, and a cupid on top.

Hello, my name is Inge, I am fantasy illustrator and concept artist! Currently making a lot of art fun art for Draw Steel (and also some art for third party releases).

I love paleontology, biology, ancient history and game design!
Cover for Refugee's Guide to Nomas. A character with a blue skin and horns, stands on a balcony overlooking a city below a molten, fiery sky. A lithe orc elementalist is casting a spell. Lightning flashes from his palm into his fist. A wode elf shadow with bow appears out of a magical green fog. A gol (fantasy neanderthal) man sits beside a fire and looks at an arrow. Behind him stands a woman with a spear. In the background there is a small village and a forest.

Things got a little crazy over the holiday, but hey, that's all sorted now. How about we get back to business?

Ratcatcher 02 has passed funding but every bit above our goal goes towards the writers and artists who contribute. Help support the ecosystem. Help us build something.

This is also true of art. At least once a week I get a random message on Discord from someone I share one server with that opens with "Hi :)" but inevitably devolves into "I'm an artist looking for commissions; here is my portfolio full of stolen and/or AI art. This is clearly a scam."

Pig butchering isn't limited to investment scams: it also exists in the publishing space, and targets writers.

A "pig butchering" scam might open with a simple “Hi” or some good-natured confusion about why your phone number seems to be in the person’s address book.

It's the first step in a process intended to drain your bank account and ruin your life.

I'm gonna be honest that it always feels like Cis folks are performative in supporting us trans peeps, especially in TTRPG / Actual Play spaces.

I see people supposedly against TERFs that are then literally playing and hyping up Cosmere. The creator of which actively funds his transphobic church.

DNGN CLUB '25: a year in review.

Today, I'm highlighting my surprise darling, DNGN + DRGN. It essentially started as a demo of what I ended up calling the DNGN ENGN (I'm aware of how annoying I am) and as a bit of a joke. Its become one of my most downloaded games, and I absolutely love it. 🧵
