This is an outpost observatory on the fringes of the Broken Chain sky-islands of the Gik'i people.

This is Ionis, from an upcoming #Shadowright short story.
Ionis is an initiate to the Set'glo vampire faith, in the lands of the horned Yenyi. She always wanted to join the vampires, because her village was well protected by the secretive faithful.

This is Tset, the archdragon based on the Outlaw archetype from Jung's theory.
This character concept is from the Shadowright world that I'm building. Its a high fantasy setting, but it grows from a lot of Jungian theory!

The Duthoa are known for innovation and Siysan Avaga, the matron of House Yethod, is a legendary mind. All Yenyi have some form of antlers or horns, and House Yethod believe their unique antlers set them apart from the common mechanists.

Different day, different style! This was from a #chaoticdrawalong prompt of "teacup dragon" and I decided to make it work for #Shadowright. In this world, the dragons come in all sizes, some as tiny as bugs. This one has claimed Cal's ale... Good luck taking it back.

Concept art for a dragon based on the Hero Archetype. In the #Shadowright world, there are twelve arch-dragons who rule the four lands, each embodying a primal archetype.
Trying out different styles of art, seeing what works. I welcome feedback!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Therapist tip: if you're overwhelmed by the news (cuz what sane person wouldn't be), try to set up a designated, limited time to check it. Be strategic, knowing it will impact your day. Then STICK TO IT!

Virtue signaling is when someone posts in support of a marginalized group, but its more about the good feels of the post than actually helping others.
Post all you want but if you're not helping people you are part of the problem. Check on friends. Listen. Cry. Laugh!
Don't just post. Love.

Rivisiting "Man's Search For Meaning" by holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. If you haven't read it, read it. (Or do the audiobook thing!!)
It's a scary, hard read right now. But also sadly comforting. He gives real insight on how to endure the very worst that humanity can dish out.
