anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

IF YOU SEE ANY PAINTING BY "EMILE CORSI" ON HERE, DO NOT REBLOG IT THINKING IT'S REAL AND FROM THE 1800s. IT IS AI-GENERATED AND EMILE CORSI IS NOT A HISTORICAL FIGURE

examples:

[tattedpetticoats]

And if you love the vibes and wish you could find something similar painted by a real person, let me introduce you to John William Waterhouse, on whose work the AI was definitely trained:

Sooo some time ago I got so obsessed with Victor Gideon (idk if you noticed...) that I just had to create a post WWI AU version of him and make my own story with OC character and some 1920's medical malpractice. I finished writing the outline and drawing the prologue and now it has nothing to do with the canon at all.

So... here. Just read it.

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

[supapoopa]

What a time to be alive.

[tenthcorner]

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

[kineticpenguin]

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

[brunhiddensmusings]

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

[stephendann]

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

[fromaliminalspace]

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

[nonlinear-nonsubjective]

Happy Ulf Hath Slain A Dragon With His Spear!

Sketch Commissions for Medical Care

I forget to post art a lot but I'm opening some quick 20-30$USD sketch commissions for medical care.

I need to have 5 teeth removed [all wisdom teeth and a broken tooth], be treated for a gum infection, and receive fillings for cavities. It's not really something I can put off, but I cannot work and thus need help paying for these things.

Currently the cost of my entire treatment is a little over 4,700$USD The wisdom teeth removal and extraction of my broken tooth is the most pressing, and is currently priced at 3,340$USD

Examples of my art:

Slots are infinite, though may take time to complete due to my chronic fatigue. Price is subject to change depending on character complexity or amount of characters [As these would require me to take longer on commissions]

Please DM me here if you are interested [Reblogs are immensely appreciated if you otherwise do not want to, or cannot commission me]

[kalopsiahaze]

Not really an update I wanted to make but. Just some extra stuff that's happened:

The dental office will not let me break up treatments between what I need most right now. They're also requiring 40% of payment for a treatment upfront before I am even allowed to schedule the appointment.

I am unlikely to be able to get one of their financial plans, due to being unable to work and struggling to get my doctor to listen to me regarding disability. I also do not have any sort of credit score.

Every dentist around me does not take my state's medicaid, but I am extremely likely to lose that medicaid starting next month, due to changes in requirements needed.

I called a second office and needed to plan around their stuff, when I called back the next day they were no longer taking new patients. This new place would've been significantly more affordable, but I cannot guarantee a time when they would see me.

The condition of my teeth are getting worse, and my wisdom tooth that has a bad cavity in it is starting to cause almost 24/7 pain that painkillers or orajel just don't solve. I can barely sleep because of it anymore.

I still do not have any of the money necessary to even afford the fillings and removal of my broken tooth + the wisdom tooth with cavities.

Due to the 24/7 pain I cannot guarantee any sort of commissions being done in a timely manner, however I haven't received any since I posted this. But if you would still like to help me out, I have a kofi where you can donate. All of the money I get will be going to directly to caring for my teeth.

My kofi has a tracker of the overall total amount of money needed for my procedures.

Please help a Black, Trans, and Queer artist out if you can.

"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world

[meoproject]

Hello good people of the internet, I am once again back with a headshot commission sale! My goal is to draw at least 100 headshots, so any shares and purchases are much appreciated! Past examples can be found @ tumblr: https://meoproject.tumblr.com/tagged/headshot Prices start at 10usd/headshot, and peak at mere 15usd/headshot, depending on the style chosen. As with all my sale commissions, you get no WIPs or revisions, but I will of course fix major mistakes that are not due inaccurate references (such as missing facial marking that was clearly indicated on the main reference.) I will draw ANY kind of original or fan character: human, fantasy, anthro, animal, mecha... Very complex characters might incur extra fees. Minor alt versions (such as scarred/unscarred version) possible for extra cost. I do not draw real life people/pets, their un-stylized apperances, nor do I draw canon characters of any fandom (fan characters and fully customized player characters are fine) If interested, please fill out a commission form: >>> https://vincered.net/headshotsale/ If you are having trouble with the form loading, please email me sirmeo[at]gmail.com Once you've filled the form, you will receive an invoice within 48 hrs! If you do not receive an invoice, one of three things has happened: the form didn't send, you filled the form incorrectly or your reference images didn't work/are not appropriate. You are free to refill the form and try again!

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

[aqueerkettleofish]

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

[wizard-council-bureaucrat]

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

[wizard-archivist-official]

The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear.

[charlesoberonn]

You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb.

You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.

Amsi in her role as a musician of the court, holding a lute and dressed as some Egyptian dancers and musicians are. Wanted to get a sense of how to draw her hair and especially how to simplify it, since that first design is always the rough one and I wasn't using my usual tablet. I didn't simplify her hair at all, but it is nice and bouncy, so perfect.

Wanted to try using pure coloured pencils again and it was both fun and a challenge. I'm so used to the broad coverage of markers that I had to learn not to fight against the natural texture of the paper. This is a tan sketchbook, which I thought might make the white bits stand out more and soften the rest. It didn't soften it as much as I thought, but it still looks good.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

I love my job because sometimes I get to draw cool things. Like an adaptation of Phantom ot the Opera for example

*screaming "Bitter!" at the wedding table is a tradition in some countries. It means the drinks will taste bitter until the groom kisses the bride

CHAPTER II, PART 2

Speak of the Dead is a horror comic I've been working on since 2021.

It's a story about a centipede-Entity who can posses dead bodies.

It's a love story, but not a happy one.

This comic was banned in some stores and websites in my country, so I've decided to transtale it to english in it's entirety and post it here.
