There's been so much Mads on my dashboard lately it threw me into a Hannibal rewatch 🥰

Wow. Just devoured this in all its stunning ferocity of wit. Glorious tone, the kind of book where you can greedily appreciate the prose even as you are swept along in the increasing wild plot. Bravo @tobyschmitz.bsky.social !!!#TheEmpressMurders

This is incredible. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this amazing piece! It’s a joy to share Fetch with readers as sentimental, heartfelt, and inquisitive as he is. So many people trying to do good in an imperfect world. Such touching words. Such moving art. A huge honour. Thank you 🙏

Ahoy, blue sky miners.
My book is coming out soon.
It’s a thriller. Though we all get our thrills in different ways…

So I've done a painting of Silver in gold, I needed Flint as well.

A digital painting of Captain Flint from Black Sails. He's seen from half-profile, with half of his back uncovered. He's wrapped in a golden material thrown over one shoulder, and there's a gold tattoo on his arm.

I had an unforgettable time reconnecting with dear friends at the #GodOfWar 20th anniversary cast panel!

I found an inspiring moment to chat with two living legends, the voices of Kratos in the Greek and Norse Sagas, T.C. Carson and Christopher Judge.

It hurt us to watch... but it's still one of my favorite scenes! (Even if painful) 🥺♥️😭

I just found this entire scene lurking online. It's still very difficult for me to watch but I'm very proud of the powerful and tense performance from Toby and the emotional reactions we were able to provoke from the audience:

Playing around with inks. These two will haunt me into my grave xD

#BlackSails #JamesFlint #JohnSilver #ink #traditionalart #art #ToraDraws #fuckai #humanmadeart #illustration #portrait
An ink portrait of John Silver from Black Sails. It's done in a mostly-realistic style, with bold splotches of black ink here and there. Messy but that's the style. The author wants you to know she appreciates you spending time with her work. An ink portrait of James Flint from Black Sails. It's done in a mostly-realistic style, with big, bold splotches of ink creating a grungy effect.

The Bhakashal Setting Manual has a map for the Raosk, a lawless settlement outside the city where hunters, traders, mercenaries, farmers and fishermen gather.

This spectacular map was created by @salvaterra.bsky.social and is one of my favorite things about the book

A traditional drawing of Wolverine from Deadpool and Wolverine. He has his claws out and has one of Deadpool's hands skewered with them. Deadpool's fingers are making half of the heart shape while Wolverine glares at them, snarling. A small chibi Deadpool can be seen on the left, watching it all with hearts in his eyes.
