Have you read Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords? If so, what were your thoughts on it. I myself find the idea of an ork controlled world working with the humans fascinating, and one that is very much in line with Blood Axes thinking. Especially since the humans on the planet teamed up with them primarily because they were facing starvation.

Aw damn I haven't yet, but I do love me an ork book. How's the writing style?

Heyo. Out of curiosity—what size ipad do you use to draw?

12.9 inche I will say this about ipad though, while it is super convinient and transportable and super good for sketching, I feel like it made me worse at rendering, cause procreate doesn't really blend colors like some other programs do and has such a harsh limit on layers/size

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

severalowls

Adding some from Scotland I have experience with and afaik take donations, some are broader but with good trans inclusion:

Scottish Trans - Trans advocacy, information and social events. Run by the Equality Network, a broader Scottish LGBTQI advocacy group.

LEAP Sports Scotland - Sports charity that advocates for queer inclusion in sports, runs trans sports groups (Trans Active) in at least Glasgow and Edinburgh that I can absolutely recommend.

LGBT Health & Wellbeing - Not trans specific but includes trans specific, trans led and trans inclusive support and social events, and supports a variety of smaller community-run subgroups.

And another couple UK-wide:

Gender Identity Research & Education Society - Trans led charity supporting research on trans matters and education/training on trans inclusion. Does consultancy for public and private sector organisations.

Trans Kids Deserve Better - Trans advocacy and activist group led by and for trans kids. They do good work.

hi! ibe got a question for you. so firstly i abolutely LOVE your artwork its great. but. https://www.tumblr.com/higgsbison/644134309370920960/the-funniest-part-of-night-watch-is-vetinaris-off <- this post. did you base the last vetinari image off anyone?? i only ask because for theclast how many years every time its come up on my dash ive gone hm. looks familiar... and i still!! havent!! been able!!! to place him!!! charles dance has so far been my best guess but im not sure. so i thought id ask :) thank you regardless! :)

uhhh honestly that one might be just a subconscious slurry of different versions I've seen with that satisfyingly sharp hair shape people seemed to have colectivelly decided felt kinda right. Charles Dance aced it in Going Postal but idk if I ever used him as visual inspo, maybe there's like a vague shadow of Jeremy Brett in there? It's mostly vibes and vague nods to some historical inspirations.

tbh 80% of the time I draw with no references, which is generally a bad habit I don't reccomend lmao

also thank you anon I appreciate 💛

yeah you get it, like the obvious answer is yes anyway cause Brett was an absolutely amazing actor and fits the tall, lanky and angular mold really well, but the best part is how he balances the untouchable verbose genius bit with the dramatic little freak bit, peak

#Granada SH is such a masterclass #there was never a better holmes he really contained every multitude he was supposed to #rip to a real one #Dance did a wonderful job too but idk if I'd buy all the weird shit like the juggling and the crossword rivalry from him #if I saw Brett do it I'd be like yea of course he's juggling I could always sense the juggling energy below the surface

#idk if I've seen Brett as inspo before but Vetinari is in many ways a Sherlock Holmes-like character to me #he'd prob send the rats off for some coke if that dungeon didn't have enough vermin diversity to play live action prison Risk with

I am using Discworld to figure out how to use Procreate. Also...it was nice challenge to draw just dialogue scene in slapstick way. Ughhh...I would love to spend year or two drawing Feet of Clay graphic novel, I love that book so much x_x ...and I have no job just now...I should ask around...about how licences works or something.... .

#HELL YEAH COOL AS FUCK #wish dorfl was real so he could go on reddit

i need to commission you for my painboy from a wrath and glory campaign im in someday. i fucking loove the way you draw orks

ehehe thank you anon

I don't have a comprehensive commission sheet out, but contact me and we can work something out, that sounds like smth that would be fun to do :)

I missed your ork art so much! Thank you and your patron for blessing us with these goofy lil (large) guys.

thank u thank u, love those mushrooms

#my special sauce is the cowardly act of giving them pupils instead of just full red orbs

I don't know who the little fella in the big baggy clothes in your last drawing is, but he reminds me so much of Nobby in night watch. Revolution baby <3

honestly Nobby might as well be a wh40k goblin, intermittent revolutionary tendencies included

Got commissioned by @kaisermakes to just sketch whatever I wanted based on a wh40k short story Da Red Gobbo Rides Again, which was an absolute banger of a read and I really recommend

some more pics that are kinda too spoilery under the cut:

#wh40k #warhammer 40k #da red gobbo #da red gobbo rides again #orks #love drawing orks absolute peak little guys #it's the kinda book you gotta read twice for the full effect #very well plotted #also fun af #my art

you WILL look at my horsies

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #arthur morgan #hosea matthews #horses #red dead redemption #drawing horses is very scary cause there's a whole subsection of society that knows exactly how they look and I'm just vibing over here #if these two freaks ever die I'm reloading #dunno if biggun CAN die #he's like a wall made of meat #I named them things I thought Arthur would name horses #chronically underdressed for Isabella #also lmao I accidentally deleted the previous rdr2 sketchdump instead of deleting its reblog imma include it it something later #being a fake guy that camps in fake nature is my full time job rn #my art

got on that cowboy tamagochi grind

I have a terribly important question for you.

Trazyn the infinite and the Librarian. In the UU library, which one wins?

Librarian would twist Trazyn into a necrodermis pretzel if he as much as moves towards any of his books (which he definitely will)

Just reread your discworld shrimp conference fic, absolutely IMMACULATE characterization and puns. Your vetinari is perfect and I live for his frenemies rivalry with vimes. Absolutely delightful.
