As someone who has played very little DnD, I’m really getting into Esoteric Ebb. This game is so damn charming.

I haven't raised my commission prices in the last 5 years. I'm afraid to change them but at the same time, the last couple of art supply runs have been so $$$. 🫠

Hi #PortfolioDay, I make 3d environments! ✨️

I made it a goal to read more this year! I just finished Song of Achilles. Looking forward to some others on my list, Words of Radiance, Piranesi, and Project Hail Mary. Anyone have a good book recommendation?

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Happy New Year! To start off the year, I’m doing a giveaway of an 8x8 custom pet portrait! Drop photos of your pets below and I’ll pick a winner in a few days! (It can be any animal!)

I was working on this blockout months ago and I can't wait to get back to it in the new year :) WIP of @kyrin.bsky.social awesome character concept, Krirki.

Despite all of the medical problems I faced this year with the C diagnosis and chronic illness issues, I'm heading into 2026 with hope. I have a growing list of personal and creative goals, and I'm motivated for the first time in awhile. I hope everyone has a lovely New Year's! 🎆

Here’s to 2026

Well, someone is happy that I’m back home! 😊

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️🪶 Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

I saw that I got a few new followers here! Welcome to bsky! I’m a stylized game character artist and occasionally draw pet portraits. I also have some pretty fun personal projects planned for 2026! 😉

I’m back in the hospital today. I rode in an ambulance for the first time last night, so I guess 2025 still has some surprises left for me. 🫠

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨
