So⊠I tried to do a fourth picture for the color Mode Beasties (CMYK manekineko, RGB shiba and rainbow kitsune).
Buuuut I'm not quite satisfied of the grayscale bunny. It was too easy. That can't be right.
First version: Grayscale:
After my CMYK manekineko and the Process color shiba inu (that I need to rework), here is the rainbow kitsune !
(incoming, grayscale bunny, as soon as I have a minute)
sorry the looney tunes movie that got buried by a massive company for corporate purposes is about fighting back against a massive company trying to bury incidents for corporate purposes?
It's Art Magazine Challenge step 10 : The Player(s)
I swear, I love them, but that's the last time I'm DMing with smart players, they weren't supposed to go back there before at least three more games nights ! There is still two statues un-investigated with all the clues to unlock the little god !
I have until the end of the smoke break to find a way out, other than "rock fell, everybody die".
Thought, it IS tempting right now.

Aaaaand that's it.
The challenge is finished for me (well, no, I still have to upload all the pictures on the special gallery for the contest, but the hard part is done)
This was... an adventure. It remind me of all the good parts of being a concept artist (thought, I didn't do it for long) and all the bad parts (some of the theme were HARDCORE).
The worse part of this adventure was that I was planning to use it as an excuse to develop the world of the Little Gods, but, I am NOT happy with the outcome and I'll need to rework it.
so now, I need to make the gallery and wait for the result !
Today Art study : The twelve dancing Princesses by Sheilah Beckett
So, I need to do more art studies. To keep learning, to practice and sometimes when I don't know what to draw.
And since I always loved old timey fairy tales' art, I decided to try and emulate some artists, starting with Sheilah Beckett whom I knew without knowing, cause I'm pretty sure I owned or read some of her books but never knew who did those.
So, I started with an image from the Twelve Dancing Princesses.

Etude du jour : Le Bal des Douze Princesses, par Sheilah Beckett
So, good thing about my study: I like it, I liked the pose, the skirt's folds and I think I managed a good look alike from the reference.
Bad thing about the study: The line art. It is not up to the graphic quality of the original, which, I KNOW, that's why I'm doing studies, I need to get bolder in the line thickness, and to find how to emulate the painterly effect. Also working with very pixelated reference doesn't help, I probably need to borrow one of her books to check the technique.
It's Art Magazine Challenge step 9 : The Construct
And guess who was late again?
(I swear this challenge is going to make me crazy! One more step >_<)
We finally managed to reach the camp but the stone circles are now a giant forest, centered around the first statue. The root dragon is close but I don't knowâŠ
I don't know what to do now. I really don't. I don't even know why we ran back here, why we're not trying to contact the authorities and..
Where are everyone?
Why haven't we heard from anyone?
When was the last time I saw someone outside of our group?
WhatâŠ
What do you mean by "the statue is in the sky and reaching for us?!!!"
One thing I love is sketching in museums. And since Lyon is home of the greatest gallo roman museum in the world, I often goes there!
There is a temporary exhibition about Art in ancient Rome and it's FASCINATING! Here are some of the art I found there !
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)
Memorial Blood Center declared a blood emergency on Tuesday, Jan 13. MBC is the blood supplier for both tier 1 trauma hospitals in the metro area (Hennepin County Medical Center and North Memorial Health).
Reach out to your neighbors â especially if you know they are staying home right now â and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICEÂ by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info:Â SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICEÂ and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
