Perhaps a Pinned Post

I've had a couple of art blogs. This is a new one. Maybe one day I'll compile them all, but it is not this day.

You can follow me on Bluesky. y'know, if you wanna. Also on insta but not super active. Same name on Twitter/X but I ain't posting there.

TAGS FOR NAVIGATION

Right now I have mostly D&D character and NPC art, from multiple campaigns:

#wayfarer campaign - the campaign I'm DMing (on hiatus)

#library campaign - my partner's campaign (ongoing)

#empire campaign - newest campaign I'm playing in

#art only - just art, no commentary posts

Will add more when more has been shared.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

What happens to me and probably many artists

[lonnson]

me after being creative: I have earned another day on planet earth 👍 me when I wasn't creative all day: I have to perish immediately

[prawnlegs]

I'm always seeing this sentiment of "I have got to make my art weirder" or people begging for weirder art but here's the thing, Weird is not a brand. You cannot rack your brains trying to figure out the "Weird" formula. You don't get weird art by artificially forcing whatever you think is "weird." You get weird art (and I think "weird" is sometimes people groping for a way of saying non-corporatized) by figuring out what you like, deep down, even (especially) if you think it's embarrassing and wallowing in it like a pig

A couple of cuties from the Empire campaign. Charity (tiefling bard) belongs to another player while Jarlan (human monk) is mine.

Working on the rest of the party~

[alaraxia]

oopsie! You got a bit too manic about a creative project too close to bedtime and now your brain is too awake to sleep. One million dead 10 morbillion injured

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Also you haven't actually worked on the project, to be clear

[butchdykekondraki-moved]

i cant put this into words but. yeah. you know.

hey can you do me a favour?? Can you go get that nice pristine sketchbook or journal you've been hoarding and put some kind of mark on the first page? Anything will do, like a smudge of graphite or a blob of ink, or perhaps a very scribbly dinosaur. Just put something there. Please, or the dinosaur will be sad.

I was SO SAD for this dinosaur that I grabbed the nearest notebook (a calendar) and drew a little sailing ship for him

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

oh thank goodness!

[alex51324]

I found him! Here is the dinosaur that will be sad if you don't use your new sketchbook!

[gardenvarietywizard-deactivated]

I've found that if it's still really hard to do this, marking the last page instead of the first helps.

"where did i put my stylus" seems to be my daily enrichment activity

[recuperationdisliker]

IN A WORLD OF FUCKLESS CORPORATE ART, YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE ART THAT FUCKS AS DEEP AND HARD AS POSSIBLE, LIKE A MATING PRESS FOR THE BRAIN.
