poster I did for Critical Role's Berlin live show PROJEKT FUNBALL! Thank you Maxwell James and Adrienne Cho for the trust, this was such a fun project to work on!

critical role fandom misogyny can sometimes feel even more egregious than regular fandom misogyny because the usual suspects can't even fall back on the usual 'well the female characters are all underwritten and unrealistic while the male characters get better writing' excuse. the female characters are almost all "written" and played by women. obviously people are allowed to have favorites, but there’s a pattern in the fandom where the women’s struggles and importance to the story are often downplayed in favor of the men’s. male pcs are allowed to be flawed and emotionally complicated in ways that female pcs often aren’t given the same grace for, without getting relentlessly criticized for it

beau and thaisha are both major drivers in their campaigns but often get treated as supporting characters in the stories of the men around them rather than protagonists in their own right

Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!

how do I explain to people that I genuinely and with 100% sincerity think that the greatest love story in all of fiction is a 6.5 minute dnd podcast monologue about a character named barry bluejeans and his hot elf girlfriend playing music and holding hands

thinking all the time about a dnd campaign i played years and years ago. i wanted to play dnd for the first time but had no one to play with so i got on some reddit for people putting campaigns together and there was a DM who specifically wanted to do a campaign for exclusively first-time players bc they thought it would be exciting to introduce us all to the game. it was actually a super rigorous process to make the cut bc the DM wanted a group of adults with consistent availability who would commit to making the game a weekly priority (fair) so i filled out like an application and then met with the dm on-call to talk about potential characters and hash everything out. it ended up being an outrageously fun game and i learned as we went that most of the world, classes, etc. were homebrew and i was like the lore this DM has created is cuckoo bananas tbh like it's so deeply involved. anyway in the end the DM told us they're actually a best-selling published author and they'd always wanted to create a storyworld for an rpg. they wouldn't tell us their name and tbh they were right to tell us at the end bc if they'd told us at the beginning i'd have suspected they were full of it and lying to sound cool but after playing their game i do believe them. anyway afterward they didn't keep contact with any of us. they were like "here's a beautiful world and story thanks for coming now i'll disappear forever." who were you...............................

I've been wanting to draw an art piece with this Undertale line for ages! Finally, a character that fits it.

Anyone is better than Vess DeRogna, so we can hire a wizard from the street, right? Right?!!

do you guys remember the poll i ran for my 2026 shadowgast v-day picture? 'fluffy' won, so i HAD to take that opportunity to paint the second tarot card i associate with shadowgast. took me a while to finish it, but it's here 🌟

i think the line-up of The Devil, The Tower, and The Star really suits their story, and it warms my heart to see where these two have ended up : )

The Devil is here, and i may or may not draw The Tower one day :D

tip jar!

People who hate Frodo Baggins are my enemy. "He didn't do anything and was useless"--yeah, okay, so what you're not understanding is that he was the sacrificial lamb. He endured physical, mental, and emotional torment that got worse and worse as his will broke. Everyone knew this. EVERYONE KNEW THIS. That's why everyone was devastated about it. Because Frodo was the most innocent among them, that was the entire point. He represented ordinary peaceful people being destroyed by the horrors of war. And as a hobbit he also represented some of the last vestiges of magic in what was basically a post magic apocalypse.

Frodo was basically an innocent puppy thrown into the Torment Nexus so that EVERYONE ELSE could maybe have a hope of surviving. And he did that willingly. HE DID IT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, KNOWING IT WOULD RUIN HIM.

Frodo haters won't see the light of heaven

I think this is post show, Marion still has some of her pretty makeup on and Jester desperately wants to draw her beautiful, talented mama right this second!  And Marion could never resist a request from her precious little Sapphire. 💙💙💙 (Image description: A digital illustration, toned in purples and pinks, of Marion Lavorre, a deep red, fat tiefling with horns that arc over her head, lavender eyes and long dark curly hair and wearing a deep blue satin dress gown and her daughter Jester, a young blue tiefling with a short dark blue bob, stubby horns (one with a pink ribbon tied around it), wearing a light pink frilly dress with a deep pink ribbon around her middle.     They are sat on Jesters bed, plush and blue, covered with cushions and surrounded by navy star studded curtains and light pink gauze that allows light through it. They are shaded in the canopied bed, but we can see through a gap in the curtains that it is a bright day in the rest of the room, containing an Art Noveau styled window and mirrored desk (in which we see a glimpse of the Traveller), strings of coloured lanterns and the walls plastered in Jester’s drawings. Marion is posing for Jester as she draws her, one hand at her chest, head tilted and  smiling indulgently, one eye on her small daughter in her lap, who is furiously scribbling with a pink crayon. Jester looks only at the drawing, her right hand is raised as a finger pointed up. Marion is saying: “May I move yet, My Sapphire?’ Jester replies: ‘No no no! I’m not done yet mama!’)
