I just love arc raiders and this is where I live now. I hope they add maps where you can fight a huge arc from within, or go back in time to fight in the first wave. Every match is extremely cinematic and it’s just nice.

Everything? Bad. Yearning? Lots. Nature though…perfect.
A three panel comic strip depicting Meli Dapa from the Netflix documentary “Birders” talking about how nature is generous. In the first square, a black and white bird with a long red bill and long legs walks a pebbled and muddy shoreline. In the second panel, beneath that, an older woman wearing a hat that reads “Mexico” speaks directly to the camera, the sun lighting her face, with a mountainous coastal scene behind her. The entire right side is the final panel, and shows an orange sunset, a mountain scene, reflective water, and a grassy muddy shoreline with birds and a silhouetted human admiring them.

My living situation was suboptimal the past year, and my cat withdrew quite a bit. the past three days in our new place together, she’s herself again. I missed her, I’m so relieved she can feel good still.

Have you ever tried this one? 📐

I’m working on a pet portrait for a departed little gal, trying to learn how to paint cats finally, and she’s just the roundest thing ever. 😍

Hey hey #portfolioday ! 🌱

I’m an illustrator and merch designer from the northeastern US with a love for bright colors, nature and gaming.

Currently working as an in house art person for some great funny folks, and I may open simple 3d commissions this year. 🌱
A digital painting of Torrent, the horse from Elden Ring. The painting is of a grey shiny horse wirh odd horns and white mane and tail standing in a green field with vegetation framing it. The sky is blue and cloudy and there are distant graves. The painting is digital but refers to the 1800s racehorse portraiture style. A digital painting of the McElroy brothers and their dad, framed by a cornucopia of mushrooms, nuts, feathers, vegetation and wildlife in a forest scene. There’s lots of moss and very bright colors, and stars in the sky. A 3d model of a pink horse dancing on a dark stage with a disco ball above, and curtains behind it. The horse has neon glowing mane and tail in pink, white, and orange. The horse is wearing pink sequined cowgirl boots with stars on them. The scene is framed with a teal glittery arch. Glittery silver hearts hover near the horse. A sticker made from a digital painting of a Palestinian sunbird, framed by a ribbon of the Palestinian flag colors, a sprig of olives, and a deep orange sun with script you on it. The bird is, and the background is blue.

Made a queer mouse to soothe myself in @womp3d.bsky.social
A 3d model of a cute purple anthropomorphic mouse taking a selfie. The mouse is wearing lots of gold and silver jewelry, pink cowgirl boots, a tie dye shirt with an emoji on it, and jorts. They’re throwing up a peace sign and have long acrylic nails. A 3d model of a cute purple anthropomorphic mouse taking a selfie.

I made this Puffin last night daydreaming about nabbing rare tickets to go see them this morning. Bookings for the boat tour opened and I GOT THEM. I get to see puffins in June 😭😭😭

Another big graphical update, huge lore drop re: Korvax, atlas, constructs, a new living ship type expedition soon, new planets, gas giants, deeper oceans with massive monsters and new critters. They just sorta put subnautica in it. Also fish bowl helmets. Here’s my new front yard.
