Procreate painting of Círdan the Shipwright, inspired by the character in Rings of Power. He faces us, bearded, blue-eyed and silver-haired, with a sunset and the sea in the background, and stars just beginning to show in the night sky above. The piece is done in a chalky, cel-shaded style.

Words that have been on my mind recently
#Tolkien #art
Frodo and Sam are small figures approaching Mordor. Barad-dur and Mt Doom can be seen in the distance. The star of earendil shines through the clouds. The text reads: Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere

More than an hour before dawn—when the Company will halt their overnight march, hide, and try to sleep—a shadow crosses the sky above them. Gandalf cautions that ‘It may be nothing, only a wisp of thin cloud.’

‘It was moving fast then,’ Aragorn answers, ‘and not with the wind.’

My new pins are back in stock!! I was a bit unprepared for just how much you guys liked these last time.

enamel pins of pokemon done in the monster hunter icon style. Tyranitar, garchomp, rayquaza, espeon, umbreon, sylveon, gengar, lucario, and flygon. The umbreon, rayquaza, and gengar are the real big sellers and sold out the first day I put these up last time. Hopefully I have enough now but you never know.

yay, rare new personal #art !

The Dunwich Legacy was the first Arkham Horror TCG campaign my husband & I played, and while we’ve played many, many other campaigns in the years since then, I’ve always wanted to draw a movie-style poster based on our first “real” game together
(details in alt-text)
alt text: A hand drawn 1920s style movie poster. Top text: “Sebastien Moreau presents THE DUNWICH LEGACY A Thrilling Journey Beyond Time and Space” Beneath are 6 figures which I’ll describe in the next images, standing in a sort of creeping fog. The bottom text is my husband & my names starring as the lead characters, with the names of the ally characters underneath. Close-up of the two player characters: In the front are William Yorrick and Sefina Rousseau, player investigators from Arkham Horror The Card Game. William has longish red hair and a beard - not a common look for the 1920s, but it makes sense considering he’s an actor. He wears a Trenchcoat, and carries his trademark lantern and his “Cherished Keepsake” Mr. Pawterson. I decided to give him WWI style boots and pants, perhaps he’s a veteran? Or maybe he got them at an army surplus store? His shirt is a typical style for the 20s, complete with a detachable soft collar that saves on laundering costs. Sefina is a Tahitian woman, wearing a matching dark green travel coat and cloche hat. She has unfashionably long, dark, curly hair-but like many women of the time who were reluctant to bob their hair-she’s styled it impeccably to fit current hat silhouettes. Her hat is decorated with artificial Tahitian gardenias, and her coat has Polynesian tapa cloth inspired embroidery. Her drop-waist pleated dress is a lighter green, and her leather shoes have the low flared heels typical of the period. Her clothes are clearly made especially for her, none of this new-fangled buying “off the rack” for Sefina! Pearls are a very popular accessory at this time, but in keeping with her theme I gave Sefina Tahitian black pearls. Lastly she has two paintbrushes in her pocket because she’s a forger artist, and she’s gesturing enthusiastically at a map she’s holding. Close-up of two “ally” characters: Leo De Luca is an ally that gives you an extra action in game. How does he manage this? In my opinion, by being rakishly charming! I’ve drawn him standing with his jacket slung over his shoulder, showing off his simple worker’s shirt and suspenders. He’s wearing a light brown hat, cuffed pants, and some gorgeous wingtip shoes that I imagine he’s super proud of. He has short, dark blonde hair (the official card art makes his hair colour hard to discern so I just picked), and he’s holding a lit, hand rolled cigarette. The Arcane Initiate has bobbed red hair styled with finger waves, and is wearing a dark orange sweater vest over a long sleeved shirt and flowy skirt. Her card art has her wearing an outfit that really doesn’t look appropriate according to my research, so I gave her something that a student might typically wear while still looking a little bit like the original art. She looks very worried (after all, she gets placed with a Doom on her!), and is holding tightly a purple book with a glowing Mystic symbol on it. Madame LaBranche is a stout older woman wearing a fancy steel blue housedress. I found that lot of photos of older women of this time show them wearing slightly out of date dresses; I guess it was hard for many to adapt to the new and shocking knee-high hems that all the kids were wearing. I chose a sort of compromise outfit for Madame that I found in a Montgomery Wards Schoffner’s catalog, because catalogs were all the rage back then! Her white hair is done up in a loose bun with finger wave styling, and she’s holding up a single silver coin while looking disdainfully at the viewer. (Her ally power is that she gives you a resource every turn if you have none). She wears white pearls and seems to be a Woman Of Means, even though in our games she always ends up being your weird landlady. Behind her stands a tall man wearing a striped grey suit and a fedora. His back is towards the viewer, and his face is partially obscured. His bright leather red gloves stand out from the dark background. He is The Red Gloved Man and he declines to be described further.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

dang, it's not even 8:30pm and the aurora is DARK RED, even with the full lights of downtown!

I've never seen it like this here before #yeg
kind of fuzzy phone camera photo of the night sky over a lowrise apartment building. In the sky is a fuzzy-edged, deep magenta stripe of an aurora, with a little cyan/jade green to either side.

It's my birthday today, I'd really love it if I could get some more eyes on my artwork 🌟
Digital Illustration of Lunar Princess Ranni from Elden Ring, holding a moon-like orb in her 4 hands, sat upon a wooden seat in her cluttered room. The outside view of the window shows the sky in sunset colours. There are many trinkets around her room, behind her you can find the Moonlight Greatsword and at her feet is a plushy of Blaidd. Digital Illustration of a yuan-ti bard with east asian features, playing a guzheng, surrounded by graphic snakes. She is on the ground on the street in front of some buildings in a night time street, there are lanterns above her head. scanned painting of a small kitty on a pony riding through a war-torn town. There are 4 ghosts around the image. The castle town is bathed in a sunset light digital artwork featuring a fancy drawn border. Inside the border are two figures on a horse. The man is holding a flagpole with a flag, holding the woman who is looking up at him with wonder. The man has white hair, horns and wears dark armour. The horse is a Friesian, with an overcoat with the same banners as the flag. "Eat the Rich" is written on a banner running across the bottom.

My little girl cat is extremely sick with something (fever, sneezy nose, lethargy) and we're headed to the vet right now. She's only lived with me less than a year but she means everything to me and I am so stressed right now. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated
