Two boys, side by each like two pairs toast
Chima the bengal cat and Yoshi the boston terrier having a pleasant snooze beside each other. They're facing each other, heads down and eyes closed, on a striped grey, dark blue and white blanket on a paisley bed.

A nice, if accidental byproduct of anything using trashy AI images is the increase I'm seeing of actually naming and crediting real artists by way of boasting about their involvement

Age of Empires (I, II...I haven't played Mythology, don't hurt me) were so much fun not just because of the gameplay but because there were huge, comprehensive history info sections on everything that's in the game. I love educational games so, so much.

Also wololo

It's so funny that even since like, my Battle net days, even to this day, people think I'm a guy.

I guess answering lore questions on the 40k subreddit will make anyone look like a bro hahah

Old Warcraft art changed my life forever, guys
Pencil sketch of an older orc striding forward. He has two sets of tusks almost like a troll jutting down and up from his upper lip. Behind him is a two headed ogre. Samwise -96- is signed on the bottom. A thick browed orc warrior raises a decapitated enemy orc on one hand, while raising a one handed maul-with-a-bloody-speartip in the other. The decapitated head is wearing a helmet with antlers, one of which is broken off. A sketchbook featuring concept art of night elves. Two portraits facing each other of a female with bloody jaws, and a male with antlers and a topknot. Below them is a fur trimmed vial. On the right are animal heads: a wolf, a bear, and a raven. Below that is an axe in profile, and a forested mountain sketch with a fortification. A gryphon touches down on a skull prowed orcish oil tanker. Oil leaks into the water from torn sacks. The gryphon tosses aside the orcish sailor while the gryphon's rider watches on.

Tentatively promising news. I might be able to sell to the US soon, again? Maybe???

We're test running two pin sales to the US right now and they just went through customs so let's see what happens.

A highly detailed octopus sculpture that balances on its arms. It depicts the species Caribbean Reef Octopus, scientifically known as Octopus briareus. It's a bluish teal octopus with bronze and pearlescent patches, overlaid with fine brush marks. Each of the octopus's arms have two neatly sculpted rows of suckers.

I got this message on Etsy last night and it made me curl up into a ball and cry with joy
An Etsy message bubble beside a blank grey avatar: Comtrya! OMG! Anubis has arrived! Ohhh it´s so f*cking beautiful! What a piece of art! And the invoice is by far the most beautiful I have ever received. :D Ahanks for the cool dragon artwork! I've also checked out the Dragonstorm website and discovered some cool stuff that I'll definitely buy at some point. :3 Thank You! <3

My wife @kikivuli.bsky.social made Tuther for me for my birthday. Check out how awesome he is!
He's got his Sands outfit on: the hooded tunic, the loose fitting trousers, and his red belt-sash. <3
Eeeee!
And next to him, of course, the book he stars in, with a fennec-ears bookmark by my daughter!

Went to start a new Gallifreyan drawing, then proceded to spend the better part of an hour making an itty bitty tiny pixel art #StargateSG1 insignia. Actually pretty proud of this!
pixel art, magnified significantly, of the insignia worn by the SG-1 team, from Stargate SG-1. Next to it is the actual-size pixel art, only 33 by 33 pixels.

All of my mutuals watching baseball right now, regardless of team affiliation:

This past Friday, we finished construction on a complex, multiphase project that I've managed start to finish for two years. This is the project where I described my project management style to one of the stakeholders as 'neurotic potato.'

And I haven't electrocuted myself once. Great success!

A pen exploded in my hand while I was on site today. Because the ink went around a bandaid I had on, it now looks like I have a midnight blue ring of thorns circling my finger.

To anyone wondering, this is their first cuddle
Chima the golden bengal cat swaddled up against a blanket on a beige tartan couch. Yoshi the boston terrier is resting his head on Chima's back from behind. Yoshi is dozing away, Chima is looking up at the camera. Chima the golden bengal cat swaddled up against a blanket on a beige tartan couch.
