I’m opening up commissions… With the pandemic going on my Fiance is struggling to find work and since I’m physically disabled and a full time student there aren’t a whole lot of jobs I CAN do. I’m looking to tutor art and design again this year but thats not going to be possible until quarantine lifts.  Prices vary from very small sketch portraits for £5-

To full character renderings in a medium of your choice (Pencil, digital and watercolour are my best mediums) for £60:-

To complete background scenes (like the spiderverse picture above) for £120. As long as the pictures are in the order I put them, in the collection top row would be £60, second row £40, third row £20. Payments via paypal or ko-fi.

[image description: text that reads: “The people of Waterdeep are among the greatest of its splendors. Fashion, comportment, love–these things are practiced with an art and a zest in the city uncommon elsewhere. Visit a festhall or festival and see for yourself! And don’t miss the cross-dressing performers who regale audiences with humor and song. Fabulous–that word doesn’t begin to describe it, especially when they enhance the merriment with magic. The city is also a haven for those who define for themselves what it means to be a man or a woman, those who transcend gender as the gods do, and those who redefine entirely who they are. What confidence! I never tire of witnessing it. I have seen folk in Waterdeep whose lives are more magical than the marvels possible with spells.” End description.]

i think a huge barrier to d&d, for me, was that it seemed….made for other people. i don’t think i’m alone in thinking that. (also, the first time i ever tried to play was with an asshole ex-boyfriend who kinda ruined the experience but i digress.) d&d seemed exclusionary in a lot of ways.

but anyway. this passage was in a random module book that i purchased randomly without knowing at all what it contained, and maybe it made me cry on this tuesday morning but you can’t prove it. it’s a small thing, really (like, of course in a fantasy land, gender diversity is acceptable!) but it’s still a big thing to see it published in an Official D&D Resource.

Nicholas J Fury spent one weekend in the 90s hanging out with a cool lesbian and then spent the next twenty years trying and failing to find another superhero with her general degree of competence or emotional maturity

You know he was hoping for Roger’s to be that but then capcicle woke up and poor Fury realized Captain goddamn America was a 20-something yr old disaster bi, who, despite being a literal block if ice for 70 fucking years, doesnt know the definition of “Chill”

Behold, the panel that inspired this fic of mine (Superbat with Dick out on the town for Gallery Night). Dick understands your art. He just thinks it needs some work.
