I just realized I've never posted it here!

Here’s a cover I illustrated for "Ravenloft: The Horrors Within". Art director: AJ Hanneld

It’s warm again and I’m craving the beach. But not just any beach. Specifically a beach with beautiful cliffs, crystal clear ice-cold water, and vibrant green algae. I don’t live near one of those so I will draw it instead 🌊

Spiny Turtle (Heosemys spinosa), juvenile, family Geoemydidae, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore

ENDANGERED.

As the juvenile turtle ages, the point serration of the shell becomes less pointy and pronounced.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

I really needed to paint a sunset landscape today. It's such a healing vibe. Daily drawing 2457.

I realized I was being a little dumb with still water and that I had a way better way of rendering calm water with my current process. I really love how this looks! Daily drawing 2451.
