I finally decided to start cultivating more and more this platform since Twitter has become a major contributor to the worsening of my mental health sooo... can I ask you to help me building back here some visibility? I make colorful maps with lots of detail, thanks if you want to share them! 🙏

I like living in Italy because you can casually stroll around and find 1850 years of layers of walls stacked on each other, narrating the place's history with their texture, their materials...

Imagine all the Gym merch with rhinos, elephants or lions now being replaced by hungry hungry hippos.
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.

2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.

The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.

They're *all* muscle.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

I had a personal fanfiction wrote on my artwork?? SERIOUSLY? 😍
Going up the silver road from Podema, the man finally reached the top of the ivory cliffs, the mute northern guardians of the Nidean plateau now unfolding before his gaze ...

The land like gigantic slabs stacked as they where pulled out of the ground by an invisible force ...

If my hypothetical descendant pulls out something like this I swear I'll claw myself out of the ground Evil Dead style.
For real, check this out. Evil.

Trying gouaches + ink brush for the first time - fun! Totally different from watercolors, still lots to learn - oh my.

Techbros compare us, A/I haters, to obscurantist luddites opposed to progress.

Asbestos was progress at the time. Look at it now.

A/I is the current Asbestos progress of our time.

I wasn't satisfied at all about the face, so I tweaked it a bit trying to add more charmy disgust and contempt.

Is it just me or the engagement on this social is totally, utterly dead?

Like... Twitter level of dead?

A quick watercolor sketch study of Strahd (approx 30 minutes) based on the great Maed Schaeffer (soooo far from his greatness ffs) artworks, mainly focused to de-poop my lacking knowledge of anatomy.
