That's pretty dang hilarious

"oooo i'd draw that but i can't draw" brother get this through your head NOBODY can draw we are literally ALL BULLSHITTING

If anyone is going to Geek Girl Con in Seattle this weekend ArenaNet still has some slots available for portfolio reviews. We have representatives covering the majority of game dev disciplines:

A classic

Was just looking up the Bernie Wrightson art after seeing GDT's Frankenstein. Gob-smacking ink work.

Illustration for the Castlevania Piano Collection vinyl

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

The dragon from the 1958 Mugnaini-illustrated edition of 'Beowulf'. #BookologyThursday #dragon #monster #folklore #legend

Okay ocean, calm down, geeze

Little process video of the last painting. Started with a 3D mock-up to help make some lighting and perspective decisions. I needed to take some extra photo reference gathering trips to the woods before I could make decisions about the forest floor though. #art #dragon #fantasy #wip

Finished this one finally. Arro emerges from the brush to step into the late afternoon light, something ahead has caught his attention. Did some 3D to help with this, will post the wips next. #art #dragon #fantasy

😱😍😱😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍😱😍 The Predator-Prey interaction we've all dreamed about!!!

Finally got the Welsh Red Dragon finished

Bring on the cute spooky times

Apparently I do bird crafts now. Hopefully these preserve well, it’s my first time drying bird bits with salt and borax. (This is a dusky grouse hen, legal to harvest and own, be aware many other birds are protected under the MBTA and are illegal to possess) #nature #taxidermy

Apparently thanking new followers get you a bunch more...who I now have to thank. It might be a looping trap, but I don't care I'm not afraid I'll simply share one of my early paintings the day I want all of you to go away. Anyway thanks a lot, again, to the new people following me! :)

Maybe one day I can land on a painting process that's this efficient, but I'm certainly not there yet, haha

If you enjoy stylish comics that are well drawn and well written check out this project by fellow ArenaNet-er Daniel Barnes. Aside from writing for GW2 he's also written for the IDW Sonic and Oni Aggretsuko comics. The art is similarly handled by some excellent IDW Sonic veterans.

Some new brush test sketching

Very cool art style

I’m enjoying the Sonic Crossworlds beta, in terms of racers I’ve only played a few, but enjoying the concise amount of customization the gadgets give you. Allows you to vary the gameplay just enough to play however you want, giving it a little more depth than Mario Kart. Pretty fun.

Almost there...just finishing the last little details on my centerpiece painting for DragonCon!⁠ Come see us in the art show this weekend! ⁠ #dragoncon #dragonconartshow #dragoncon2025 #oilpainting #unicornart

Creature design tip

Late 2024 I had the pleasure of contributing a dragon to 3D Total's "Designing Dragons" book. So many amazing artists were included in it, check it out here: store.3dtotal.com/products/des... #dragons #art

Satyr 🌱

Might open up a few sparse comms later this month. Small stuff like colored sketches and busts/icons. I'll drop deets when it comes closer to a potential opening. I haven't publicly opened comms in years but I have lots of expenses coming up and any extra income is a +. examples below.

Watch the Skies/First Contact (Mega game at GenCon) unexpectedly included a drawing competition for one of the Olympics contests. Have a 60 second gold medal unicorn, on behalf of Russia. Dasvidaniya.

So shiny, such crunchy texture, very すごい

Was struck by a whim to do a couple quick updated sketches on how I generally imagine hexapodal skeletons whenever drawing dragons. Then I became distracted by summer and gardening and also perfectionism kicked in and they ended up being not so quick... #dragon #skeleton #art

Fun idea

Good blue, good reflections, good ships

I painted lotus leaves. medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

pretty nice 'goyles

Little bat does a hop. Was doing sketch studies of how bat wings fold up and they ended up being enough for a gif cycle. Animation is hard. Might have been easier if I used proper animation software rather than PS. #art #bats #vampirebat

CM-golden dragon

Have some random doodles from flipping through old sketchbooks. Some dip pen deer studies and also some dragons got in there, they always do. #art

Oh no, it's my two dumb wolves and they're fighting again

What are folks preferred sketchbooks to carry around these days? I tend to doodle in a lot of mixed media, so wondering if folks have a favorite that works well for both pencils and ink.

The US ban on state AI regulation may be voted on in the senate very soon. If you live in one of these states - FL, MO, TX, TN, WI, AK, ME - please call your senators & ask them to remove the "state AI regulation ban" in the budget reconciliation bill NOW! Link to call & what to say in next post 1/

colorssss

Check out this book if you haven’t yet, lotta super cool artists in it, and also me. Haha.

#虫の日 おう　なつだぜ

A good excuse to chat with your rep

they are the most upsetting anatomical nonsense when plucked and deskinned

Finished all of Dragonball and am just starting the Frieza Saga of original DBZ. Vegeta is already my favorite character…. Invader Zim, Vegeta, Shadow… I think I have a thing for confident, angry little guys.

I don't know why but the combined skeletal-respiratory system of dinosaurs and pterosaurs is one of my favorite things about those clades.

Been seeing this headline everywhere lately. I think this is a good breakdown of why these aren't dire wolves, exploring the likely funding reasons behind the claims this company often makes, while acknowledging some of the legitimately impressive work they've done in gene editing.

Old Monster Hunter Wilds: Rey Dau commission!
