[cherry-ghouls]

A piece heavily inspired and based on Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" (c.1923).

I learned so much from studying his work and am super happy with how this turned out.

YESSENIA “ROOK” INGELLVAR | They/Them - 38 - Mage

A Mourn Watcher who dreams of starting their own traveling funerary service. They’re probably more suited to being a court jester though, despite their appearance.

Finally got around to finishing this art of my first Rook. I always find that no matter how good the cosmetics or customization in a game I have my own vision for my player character.

WAVEBREAKER

Concept art for a personal project I worked on for a cgma class I took recently. I wanted to create an older character trying to preserve cormorant fishing while living in a Cyberpunk world.

The Rebel

Finished this a while ago for a character design class I took through #cgma !

I wanted to do an antihero archetype for a cyberpunk world where the presence of Gods is something tangible and just as real as the science used to make implants. My idea for him was someone who struggles against the idea of Gods playing influence over peoples lives but is someone who is chosen against his will. 🤔🎨

With You

A piece done for a friend.

Lazy Afternoon

I wanted to show Nymira's relationship with her magic - she doesn't take it too seriously, and it comes to her naturally as a sorceress. I imagine this results in her using it to do mundane things when it isn't going haywire for her.

Memento Mori of the Dark Urge

A reminder of mortality for the unholy Assassin- Bhaal's own chosen.

A secret moment

A painting done for one of my classes. I wanted to push my lighting to show a secret moment interrupted.

[cherry-ghouls]

Still screaming after my first BG3 playthrough. I had to paint my Bard Tav, Vice 🤧 self-serving and silver tongued, he now resides in the underdark with his vampiric love.

[mortalityplays]

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

[mortalityplays]

this isn't snobby gatekeeping or imaginary semantic problems or whatever, this is an issue that has come up irl at cons and zine fairs local to me and which keeps coming up online. people who show up to trade fairs selling professionally printed $15 anthologies as 'zines' have a direct impact on the people trying to sell their $3 chapbooks at the next table over. submission based kickstarter projects that bill themselves as 'zines' exploit the connotations of amateur, punk production values to induce creators to work for less and eschew formal guarantees and protections they are entitled to.

my favorite zines have all been $1 or free and printed on highlighter paper. i used to pick em up from a book store in chelsea that sold predominantly self published work, and had sections for zines. Some were about how to eat cheap in the city when most of your paycheck went to rent, others were talking about the best drag performances in town, and plenty of DIY stuff. all of them had the same unique quality: nobody but the author and their collaborators could've made this, and they wanted to make it easily accessible to the community

i kinda hate that the word that was used for extremely personal and cheap works is applied to essentially art books of your favorite anime OTP

[mortalityplays]

hi! sorry, real quick:

grab a piece of paper and fold it in half like a book

write "im indifferent to zines" on the cover

write "i've never been able to buy one" on the first page

write "and i'll never be in one" on the second page

write "just want to be a hater today" on the back

congrats you're in a zine! if you like you can photocopy it and sell it to art students, fellow haters, or anyone with a sense of humour. I'll buy one.

I want this to be real

I've been playing around with this one for a couple of weeks, but I finally feel like it's finished.

I'm down so bad for this vampire, it's insane.

Don't know if I'll finish it, but I always loved this panel of the manga.
