I'm also contributing a limited run of 5 of these hand-printed lino prints, with foil detailing and text, to commemorate the event.
These will be special giveaway items at various fundraising milestones
A photo of a framed lino block print, featuring a dragon holding a gold glowing D20 die. The gold text bording the image reads "Holiday Spectacular 2025. Split the Party, Game On Cancer. Humdinger Studios, Nov 29-30"

Trawling through Etsy for patterns nowadays is just wading through the swamp of AI-generated scam patterns

Sometimes it still gives me a laugh though

Girl, what is happening to your head?
A screenshot of a scam AI-generated sewing pattern from Etsy. The model has been poorly generated, with a head and neck far too large and out of proportion to the rest of her body.

"I want to join you - to fight by your side. I want to help people - as you've helped me."

I would like to thank @v4mpirewithacamera (IG) and @doriankcos (IG) for these photos from PAX Aus last weekend.

This is the romance we all wanted, right?

This truly cursed photo of me as Alfira from BG3 was taken this weekend.

I have never been more convinced that I should cosplay Harry Du Bois than I am now...

Frightening stuff, the fact that I can make The Expression
A collage featuring an array of photos. Two of them depict cosplayer Scarlet Moth as Alfira from Baldur's Gate 3, but with a truly rictus and off-putting grin. The third image is of the detective from Disco Elysium, which the former images resemble. Frightening.

Had a family outing today as Lohse with Sir Lora and Quercus at PAX Aus

They had a very educational experience

She needs a little more time to cook, so unfortunately I will not be debuting my Cassia Orsellio cosplay at PAX Aus this year.

You can find me tomorrow as Alfira from BG3 instead

I can't wait to zip-tie him to the skeletal cat

My idea to make Cassia's purity seals and script using sublimation paper on linen-look polyester worked a treat!
Yippeeeeeeeeee

I've had Quercus for 5 minutes and he's already standing in front of my monitor
Truly he is a cat
A skeleton cat prop stands in front of my computer monitor and keyboard. The screen displays an image of an armoured squirrel riding atop a skeleton cat steed, from Divinity: Original Sin 2

Man...I was so excited to go to this now that I'm in Melbourne
Why can't we have nice things 😭
An email reading: "Hello, thank you for supporting ACMI. We write to inform you that the Player Night: Elder Scrolls Online will no longer be proceeding. Refunds for the ticket price will be returned within 3-5 business days."

Cosplay takes you to strange places...

Anyway, I'm going to attach an armoured squirrel to him

One of the best to ever do it

My thoughts:
A screenshot from Discord. User Scarletmoth sends a post at 13:41 which reads: "I play WoW for the plot The Plot:" Followed by a still from the World of Warcraft: Midnight cinematic, featuring blood elf paladin Lady Liadrin looking fierce, and blood elf leader Lorthemar Theron looking like a DILF

In the spaces of time between packing my life into cardboard boxes, I am on wplace trying to recreate The Expression from Disco Elysium

I'm not AAPI, nor do I have any Japanese heritage, but what I can say is that it definitely feels weird to call anything inspired by Ghibli or Legend of Zelda "Leisure Fantasy"
A screenshot from the "Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass" website. The text reads: "Leisure Fantasy Meets D&D: Curious spirits and quirky islanders live side by side on the whimsical and mysterious island of Obojima. Lose yourself alongside your players as you travel the breathtaking island, filled with giant flying beasts, witch covens, strange trinkets, flying contraptions, unruly magic, and more."

Going interstate for a few days (so won't have my gouache with me) but wanted to share a WIP of my half-drow light cleric

Hoping to imitate stained glass by building up some darker tones and details over the opaque light base colours

I imagine this experimental piece will take a while to complete
The beginnings of a painting on black paper. The style is intended to imitate stained glass, and depicts an armoured female drow warrior

This is my favourite Animorphs book
James Haeck's face is reflected in infinite mirrors. It reminded me of an Animorphs book cover.
