Hark! It be shapes and colors!

Thanks for checking out my art! I'm Grayson (he/him) I primarily do fantasy/DND and character design. I do take commissions, DM for details!

I made a creature

I love my idiot cat, she still has no clue how I always manage to catch her in the act.

Ok, this "stained glass" WOW character was supposed to be a Christmas gift for a friend.... And the print is still sitting in the poster tube in my bedroom, ready to ship.... Oh well. I'll get it to him soon.

New D&D campaign; new character!

This is Sebastian; my exhausted academic druid with assorted bird wild shapes.

Commission for a friend in my FC- had so much fun working on this, this WOL is so cute!

Btw, if anyone plays FFXIV, you should absolutely check out her dog cafe RP that she runs on the weekends:

Dunkin' Dotes Shiba Inu Café

Welcome to Dunkin' Dotes Shiba Inu Café! Stop by for some breakfast, coffee, or dessert! Dogs are welcome! Location: Crystal, Zalera, Lav Be

Medieval style illustration of two of my friends' Final Fantasy characters as a Christmas present..... That I still need to have printed and ship..... To the UK 😬

Been playing a lot of FF14... Doodled my boy Charlie Fishsticks

Turned this cool box from the thrift store into a dice storage case. "Gems" and compartment tags are shrinky dinks, inner panels are collages of illustrations I traced from Dragonology.

I hear that this issue has a free poster inside!

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.

I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.

I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.

Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!

I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.

It's what makes me proud of my art!

And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.

A very special shout out to the person who tagged "these mcgriddles make me want to shit so bad" on fanart in 2013 I think about you once a day

For so many makers, it's not about fame, or applause, or praise. It's the yearning to know the thing you made connected with somebody, amused or delighted or gave them catharsis or touched them somehow.

Bonus dumb little comic of Aro and the kitsune that taught him to read

[grayzzz-illustrate]

Did more of this... These are so full of inside jokes and things specific to the campaign that to anyone else this is probably. Nothing. But I still really like them.
