Arts for your Eyes

Some guy who likes to art and nerd about.

Teeny tiny illustration of a firbolg. Firbolgs are a race of giantkin in DnD 5e that are considered nature guardians. I feel like I should start to develop this pencil/Photoshop hybrid illustration style.

Bladeless wind turbines generate electricity by shaking, not spinning

Scientists hope to hugely reduce the cost of wind energy by removing the blades from wind farms, instead taking advantage of a special phenomenon to cause the turbines to violently shake.

Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless — white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake.

They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at.

As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator.

These also look like they would cause fewer problems for birds and bats.

This is really cool.

They leave off the important note that when the wind rises, each pole makes a sound like a hundred vuvuzelas roaring at once. In the post-apocalyptic world of the future, villagers will speak in hushed tones about the Roaring Plains, and caution adventurous travelers to stay well away.

I appreciate how they essentially invented very useful yet alien-looking screaming pillars. Science continues to make some suspiciously sci-fi shit.

At least you won’t have to go outside to know how windy it is… You’ll hear it.

They provide us energy

They provide us warmth

They love us

These martyr gods, their twitching agony is our salvation

GLORY TO THE WAILING OBELISKS

Dragonborn fighter, the very second she sees a human npc who strikes her as particularly gross: Hm. Looks like somebody is going to have to cast Speak With Animals.

Our DM: Just for that, now you’re going to have to.

Character art for a pirate-themed card game I've been illustrating for a client.

Here's a cartoon. It's dumb. I should probably feel bad about it, but I don't.

I know I haven't posted in a while. It's been absolutely crazy these past few weeks.

Anyway, here's some art I did a while back, but I didn't get around to posting them until now.

Autumn-inspired illustration done to practice integrating text into illustration and to expand my portfolio.

Okay, I just wanted to say, this post makes me realize just how damn long the Oncler's legs are. Seriously, he's like the human version of this-
