I only play TTRPGs to throw fireballs and meteors around. And like, you know, see friends and socialize and stuff. My second fave part is doodling characters in their natural chaotic habitat✨ #ttrpg #oc #art #clipstudiopaint #digitalart #fantasy
An elf mage woman with a large pointy hat decorated with cords and a mauve and khaki outfit is holding a gnarled wood staff in the crook of her arm. The staff harbours a purplish crystal and beaded cords to match the hat. In her left hand, the woman is holding a pink cellphone with its pop-socket, hiding her face. She is showing a peace sign with her other hand. The pose emulates many social media mirror-selfie pictures. In the background, an explosion throws debris across the patchy tall grasses. Cypress trees are blown side-ways by the force of the blow. Small flames burn on the ground and in the grasses across the background. Art by ©cake-and-despair.bsky.social

For as long as some of us are oppressed, none of us are free. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Women's rights are human rights. BIPOC rights are human rights. Migrant rights are human rights. I could go on. We are all human, we should act as such and support one another. Stay safe this pride🌈.
A raven surrounded by roses coloured in shades of the bisexual pride flag holds a coin in his beak. The phrase "Be gay, do crime" is handwritten in the bottom of the image followed by a doodled heart.

Saw a pretty birb pic and somehow now I'm drawing a Tarot set instead of doing actual work. Please enjoy my procrastination bird and his Celtic coin.

Tarot card with a purple border and yellow floral banners. In the upper left corner, a wheel of Taranis is framed by foliage. The upper center-right banner has "Deniers" written in cursive. The bottom banner has a "1" framed. In the center of the card, a purplish raven holds a Celtic coin in its beak. The background features light yellow wheat and a dark sky.

Continuing my personal challenge to draw monthly. It's spring and trees will soon bloom. I wish I could hide in the fragrant flowers, but I am deeply allergic, so I'll live vicariously through drawings lmao

A pale woman wearing an off-shoulder black dress and partially covering herself with a deep purple shawl is standing behind the branches and flowers of a wisteria tree. The flowers cover half her face, hiding her eyes. Her arms are crossed and an orange butterfly sits on her right index.

A woman wearing a skirt is standing in the dark surrounded by foliage. She has a pink glowing lampshade on her head, filled with overflowing colourful flowers.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

So I'm often feeling like I'm drowning in a hundred deadlines and I don't take time to be creative. I want to push myself to make time and draw, event if it's just a doodle for my profile pic like this one!

A woman is standing under a dull flower arch and is holding a vibrant bouquet of carnations. Her skirt is swept by the wind, light rays are peaking through the leaves of the arch and casting a soft glow on her back as she is looking away.

You made noise. We made noise. EVERYONE made noise. And we made our leaders listen.

But we're not out of the woods yet. 1/2
