Sum up your #Daggerheart experience. DAGGERHEART COMBAT IN THE BOOK VS IRL (Fun and brutal! Boy the GM can hit hard 😂)

As this 2025 comes to a closure and 2026 slowly ushers in, I wanted to thank everyone of you that decided to continue supporting human artists everywhere - you are the sole reason I keep doing what I do. Love you so much, thanks again folks!

How to lose your artist customer base: Speedrun mode by @redgrassgames.bsky.social

Oh hellooo lots of new folks!🎅🏽 Happy holidays to everyone!!

@larry-macdougall.bsky.social finally managed to get the Italian version of your work 💕

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

‘An overwhelmingly negative and demoralizing force’: What it’s like working for a company that’s forcing AI on its artists and developers: aftermath.site/ai-video-game-...

My neighborhood reported a lot of break-ins and that's just what I needed before my holiday vacations ffs. Can I get a little bit of ease for my stress levels please? 🥺

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Oh yes please put the RegurgitatorBot also in my peripherals. (JK I have a Razer and a self built mechanical keyboard Fuck this timeline.

GM: "As you approach to the shore, a gargantuan greenish figure emerges from the sea and stares at you with unbridled rage. No word can fathom this monstrosity made of muscles and tentacles." Players: "Wait... it is—?" GM: "—The Indescribable Cthulk, yes."

It's the first time I felt like a REALLY REAL artist, which in Italy means I have to be subjected to a barrage of documentation, bureaucracy and buck-passing phone calls to have the possibility to ship my artwork internationally.

@darringtonpress.bsky.social this should be featured in the next manual ❤️🤌🏽

Got a drafting stool from the 70's to match the drafting machine - new workstation completed! 🤌🏽

Thrift find! Today I found a Zucor drafting machine from the 80's - with a damaged arm for almost nothing. I spent the morning sanding, cleaning and restoring it and... It's almost brand new, works like a charm in every part now, and the table is SO STABLE, 0 wobbles at all! Weights almost 80 lbs 😂

Signed, sealed, framed and ready to be shipped to its new home 🏡❤️ safe flight, Flying Castle!

When you buy 10m/32ft of bubble wrap but the seller ships you 100m/320ft 👀 I'm gonna wrap artworks forever.

Do you want to put MORE pepper into your Daggerheart campaign? Carlos, one of the authors of DH campaign frames, created your perfect supplement!

I received my artist copies of the new rulebooks for @dndbeyond.com Forgotten Realms! They are nothing short of incredible, the alt cover (it's single artwork split in 4 pages!) by @dominikmayerart.bsky.social is a masterpiece! Honored to be part of this legacy with my first watercolor maps!

Treasure Planet was released 23 years ago today... and literally takes us off in this magnificent shot. ✨

One month left to be two years sober - can't wait to celebrate that milestone spending money on tiny plastic friends or paints and not booze 👀 (I chose clearly the most expensive option)

The sheer amount of Patreons dedicated to scam people with A/I generated battlemaps is absolutely revolting. FFS, some of them have 5k+ subscribers and create UTTERLY SENSELESS crap, with jumbled grids or janky perspectives. What the hell, people?

Days spent without seeing Wonton fonts applied to East/South Asian fantasy settings: 0

Incredibly saddened to learn about the passing of one of my all-time favorite singers. "You can get it if you really want" is and will be my go-to cheer-me-up song. Rip Jimmy

Ahah today my 16k constant tinnitus is really giving its worst. FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

PSA: If you commission your favorite artist and they send you a formal invoice ask before adding a tip to your payment - we don't like being jailed for tax fraud! 💀

Hey! I did all the maps for this beauty! 👁️👅👁️

I like living in Italy because you can casually stroll around and find 1850 years of layers of walls stacked on each other, narrating the place's history with their texture, their materials...

Imagine all the Gym merch with rhinos, elephants or lions now being replaced by hungry hungry hippos.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

I had a personal fanfiction wrote on my artwork?? SERIOUSLY? 😍

A quick gouache fun study!

UPDATE: all the three maps are officially sold! Thanks for supporting human art!

Myth Drannor is sold too! ❤️ Thanks again ❤️

I'm putting on sale three original maps (Schmincke Horadam Watercolors and Archivial Ink on Arches cold pressed paper) I've created for Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn! "Restoring Freedale" 1800 USD "Castle in the Sky" 1800 USD "Myth Drannor" 2000 USD DM me if interested :)

I guess today is another "being incredibly disappointed by one of yours favorite color pencil artists ever after she admit on IG to use A/I for concepting their art". FFS

BTW Disney+ is raising again its rates. Cancel your subscription now.

If my hypothetical descendant pulls out something like this I swear I'll claw myself out of the ground Evil Dead style.

Trying gouaches + ink brush for the first time - fun! Totally different from watercolors, still lots to learn - oh my.

Techbros compare us, A/I haters, to obscurantist luddites opposed to progress. Asbestos was progress at the time. Look at it now. A/I is the current Asbestos progress of our time.

It was a huge honor being interviewed and featured by @dndbeyond.bsky.social in their articles along an amazing artist such as Maihope! Thanks to Mike Bernier! www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2101-a...

As Forgotten Realms - Adventures in Faerûn became publicly available, I wanted to share with you another one of the piece I made for that wonderful volume! Restoring Freedale - a map hailing back to Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons! I was tasked by my AD Emi Tanji to recreate a....

@domestika-org.bsky.social EW. EW. EWWWWWW.

Yo A/I sloprtists, that's not how ships work.

En train de préparer une grosse illustration pour la sortie de Silent Jenny 👀

Aw yissss

Close-ups from my recent DnD party commission!

I wasn't satisfied at all about the face, so I tweaked it a bit trying to add more charmy disgust and contempt.
