Despite my tablet's best efforts, I've finally drawn a more accurate height & weight reference for Asheren!

Also his orange tabby, Cheddar Bay Biscuit. (Cheddar B., Ched, Chedds, Chebber, etc.)

[Asheren uses he/him pronouns, thanks!]

[phantomarmor]

I haven't drawn jewelry (or jewelry-adjacent items) in quite a few years.

Naturally that means I need to use the shiniest ore in game to start again.

[A Kul Tiran good luck charm, made of Stormsilver, and inset with a fluorite. It's shaped to resemble an anchor, with an octopus' tentacle curling around it.]

[phantomarmor]

Wanted to test long(er) hair on Asher because I like my men with long hair.

Also his usual length hair, for good measure.

hi all, i'm a disabled autistic trans man trying to get his life back together after two family deaths, a laborious and stressful move, and extreme anxiety issues - all of which happened within a span of 6-7 months.

my journey and growth as both an artist and a person would not be possible without people like you supporting me. thank you for reading and sharing! 💜

[odvunir]

A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.

Reposting this, actually, because I redesigned him the day /after/ I posted the original art. Sorry.

My 'worgen' Asheren, whose original incarnation is... more cat-based, so I decided to make his WoW variant a cat.

(Asher uses he/him pronouns, thanks.)

[Edit: He's been slightly adjusted because I added a new tidbit to his lore, oops. Also fixed his face because it was bugging me.]

[phantomarmor]

Behold! A new fullbody reference for my main Dracthyr, Erralkir, with and without his standard glow.

I've had this in the works for a few months now, but only just now got back around to the WIP after finishing the other piece.

[phantomarmor]

Finally...

A finished piece for myself & my RP partner @littleperyton, of our Dracthyr Erralkir (Gold) & Irakaius (Silver-y Pearl). And their four pets, and one plushie swog. (He/Him for Erra, He/They for Kai, please!)

[direfang]

i went a lil silly w this but @leafie-draws's Oakley bc I support women's wrongs & she's got such a cozy design

[phantomarmor]

I thought I posted this here. I updated Phirron's markings and palette again, a few months ago, and... just never uploaded it, I guess.

I'm unsure if I intended him to continue having wings in this iteration, so please assume he should still have his tattered wings, with the undersides being the darkest red on this reference.

[phantomarmor]

Finished lines and such for my big boy, Erralkir. (With and Without his underglow.)

He needed a ref, is what I'm using to lie to myself.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

[jv]

And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

[jv]

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

[phantomarmor]

Finally drew my main Dracthyr, Erralkir. My sleepiest boy. My poor, traumatized son.

(The layer just beneath his scales is supposed to glow through the in-between portions of his scales but I don't study scales very much.)

Dono-Commissions!

hey y'all, some of my guildies need to raise some money by tuesday (1/23/24) so they can take their evil shitty landlord to court for cutting their water pipes and trying to evict them. They're 1,165/1500 currently for tuesday's fees (though their long term goal is $5000.) If y'all can chip in anything for them, I'd appreciate it.

If you donate $30 or more I'll draw a headshot icon, or for $50 or more I'll color it!

Uncolored examples:

If you donate and would like art, please send me a screenshot as proof of your donation!

[feelingkindawoozy]

Hey guys, we got 8 days left to try and raise the rest of the funds! We're just shy of 2k, looking to raise a total of 5k for legal expenses. I'm still offering donation commissions as well.

I'd really appreciate spreading this around if you can!

Been a hot minute since I’ve properly advertised myself, so here it goes! Hi! If you like my work did you know that you can get oodles more of it and see stuff I never get to posting in one handy place? As well as stuff ranging from shit post oc doodles to WIP GIFs of the bigger pieces I do? And also the first place to be alerted for commission slots? And also includes a discord server with updates that come as the art does?? And also has fun lil channels where we can all just gush about nerdy oc things?! Well boy oh boy if that interests you, I got a patreon that you should check out then! For real though as someone with a chronic illness, my art being able to support me means the world and allows me the flexibility I sometimes just need. Every little bit helps and I do have a lot of art on there to browse through! If patreon isn’t your thing, I also have: A ko-fi ☕ And an itchio page where you pay what you want for art books that will gradually be updated Thanks a lot guys!

[phantomarmor]

A friend got me into a neo fansite just before the (shitty) news of the current site being bought by a renamed NFT company, so I've been drawing pets I find interesting, or want to own. Here's two such pets, the darigan draik and the mutant ixi!

[vinetooth-prime]

Hey, folks! I have a Patreon! ... Again!

I've remade the tiers to be less intensive on myself this time. At the moment, this page will act as an early-access gallery & tip jar. Any patronage will be helping me to afford food & more time to create!

Super (& Soup-er) Supporters will also get first-chance dibs at commission slots when any become available. Slots not claimed on Patreon get offered to my guild before the public!

As always, my Ko-Fi page will stay open for simpler one-time tips & periodically for sketch requests!
