I... I dunno anymore. Pixels don't look like real things and shapes and colours have lost all comprehension to me. So have a finished Koni I guess. (Also the next time I ever think of pixelling virtuoso daggers or TSB someone plz yeet me out of a window) #guildwars2 #gw2 #sylvari #art #pixelart

Man I was outside yesterday and think the oregon wildfires affecting air quality + deeper breathing during physical exertion (25-mile bike ride - toward the longer side for me) caused an annoying cough and weird shortness of breath today. Lots of tea for me today. Hope everyone stays safe. D:

Chapter 3, page 1 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch... The Harbinger's Path chapter 3: Mordremoth's Favor begins updating today! #GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #trahearne #TheHarbingersPath #comics #art

"What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?" My fondness for Varré from Elden Ring is suddenly a little less mysterious to me... Gif credit (very HQ gifs here; what a wonderful archive): www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/v...

Very loose sketch - you convinced me to try drawing in this style again :p My reaper sending out his "Mini Oxidecimus the Shadow Raven" with a tiny letter, carrier pigeon-style Silly idea related to the email list - it's my favorite mini, and seems timely with Halloween soon #gw2 #sylvari #sketch

So he does! (Cropped wip; I'll finish this sketch one day) #GuildWars2 #gw2 #malyck #sylvari #wip

Lmao I just noticed when I updated the comic's site with ch3's launch date, I forgot to comment out ch3's page index (as I've been previewing ch3 offline) It looks proper now, but if you happened to see how many pages there are, please try to keep it to yourself - I'd like it to be a surprise lol

Alright here's what I wanted to post Fri night - Chapter 3: Mordremoth's Favor begins next Monday! (Sep 29) Below is an earlier WIP title page crop. Ch3 is longer than previous chapters - we'll keep the 2 pages/wk schedule, but I'll be finishing pages as we go this time. #TheHarbingersPath #wip

I'm not participating in a blackout because the point is moderation and others want me and those like me gone, and I would much rather continue to occupy the space I helped build rather than give everyone a chance to feel how much "better" it is without me. why wither when you can be a thorn.

Why #bskycensorship is a concern, regardless of which artist type you are- it's easier to show a visual Here's an earlier draft from the next chapter of my comic. The characters are *skirmishing* - but out of context, do you trust bsky mods or automated-flags to interpret it this way? I sure don't!

(ooc) I associate Wysma with dandelions: simple, but able to take root anywhere even under tough conditions. Transient in nature, but they spread on a breath of hope or a wish, and they’re actually pretty nutritional. But eating Wysma is not recommended. (Sylvari!Wysma would be dandelion-based)

I was really spicy and, tbh, sad at the idea this would be another instance of many people tucking their tail between their legs and slinking away from confrontation, but you know what, it really does seem like a lot of folks are active in their opposition to censorship this time it's heartening

I originally went to this site last night because I was planning to share some info about the next comic chapter, and say when new pages would start updating again (September 29th)

it chafes me when platforms put forth these moderation guidelines that use the jargon of safety, inclusivity, and community before detailing all the kinds of art that ought be banned, shunned, persecuted. why is it that "community" always looks like absence, never curated abundance.

Man, I just saw the bluesky community guidelines update post. Some of the verbiage is outright bizarre, particularly in regard to censoring fictional artwork.

Ya kids are just gonna have to learn to make your own website. I promise you you're going to kind of love it. Imagine a space where you can display YOUR art alone, the way YOU like it. No ads, no pop-ups. You can decorate it any way you want, like that house none of us will ever be able to afford 🥲

Finally linked my bluesky profile to my personal domain, which changed my profile url now: bsky.app/profile/landylachs.com previously: landylachs.bsky.social Posting as some confusion about this was mentioned to me - while I retain the previous url, it sadly doesn't redirect to the new address D:

Spending 90% of this page's time on a panel that takes up 15% of the space This panel is one of the earliest I drafted for the comic, and so I've seen it for too long to tell if this is a mistake or not. But it's one I think is important for the story (and really wanted to draw) - so in it goes!

Concept sketch for my version of the "Avatar of Mordremoth" I meant to eventually post this - this is one of the concept drawings I did during Ch1 of "The Harbinger's Path," to figure out how I wanted Mordremoth to appear in Trahearne's mind in the comic. #GuildWars2 #GW2 #art #sketch

I stopped in my tracks to draw her, i know its not gw2 for once but I AM HYPED✨️ #FireEmblem #FireEmblemFortunesWeave

More practice with anatomy construction drawing from imagination - this time trying out some painted forms. (It's Corveil, though aside from his fancy sash, you can't really tell.) Ahh it feels good to draw again after several days of not doing so! #oc #art #corveil #sketch

I'm back from being out of town for a bit. :) Here's a crop from an in-progress painting I feel like sharing - it's my reaper holding his "Razor of the Sunless" dagger. This weapon set is still one of my all-time favorites from the entire game. :D #GuildWars2 #GW2 #wip #art

I had an urge to design Mordrem Mabaki. Lighter color to follow original Mordrem concept, darker to follow his original colors. Sponsored by ArenaNet #gw2 #guildwars2 #gw2art #sylvari #mordrem

Was given the perfect color prompt to draw Diarmuid's sister! #myart #gw2 #guildwars2 #myocs #sylvari #illustration

Today's it, kids! Last day to Kickstart the first 2 Unsounded print books! They come with new bonus comics, a Tainish language guide, new covers, spiffed up art, and my love. 11 hours left-- don't wait! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro... #booksky

Small practice experiment thing. Arquel, one of my oc's. #oc #art #ocsky #arquel #wip

3 people in Discord snagged the colour commissions - anyone here on Bluesky? :D They went so fast! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

I stumbled across my very old reblog tumblr I had forgotten about (like from 2015ish), and browsing it reminded me how posts from that era had this charmingly sincere quality - where it really was about humans sharing human experiences with each other, and marveling at the commonalities we shared

The last thing I looked at last night before going to sleep - angry Malyck haunts my dreams! Haha. The page already has color; cleaning up/correcting the underlying linework. #GuildWars2 #GW2 #TheHarbingersPath #Malyck #sylvari #wip

A finished succulent friend in alcohol markers c: im surprised how well it turned out !! #gw2 #guildwars2 #oc

Chapter 3 is turning out to be Angry Malyck Time.

Unplanned Varré practice drawing from yesterday. #EldenRing #Varre #art #krita

I have never played a gw2 beta because I enjoy waiting until live releases to experience new specs fresh, but I'm breaking my rule later today to hear the (trahearne) troubadour lines :D

Hey! Stretch goal defeated! Shiny books for all, thanks everyone! ❤️❤️❤️ Less than 2 weeks to go, then Sette can finally stop pestering you to pledge for your very own copies of Unsounded volumes 1 & 2 in print :3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Epilogue END posted. We are DONE! But make sure you check out that sequel preview :) www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/co...

Practice rough drawing of Blademaster Diarmid from Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. My favorite of the "Mordrem Commanders." #GuildWars2 #GW2 #art

Had an idea for a mursaat character and had to doodle her. Still working out the specifics but she's bloodstone warped and really mean

One of my "duskbirds" chasing a wisp. Rough 2d frame animation to practice some basics - only a test and not intended to be finished. Learned a lot with this one that I want to apply to my next attempt, which I DO hope to be more finished. :D #2Danimation #sketch #duskbirds #oc #krita

Mabaki with his back-vines! #gw2 #guildwars2 #gw2art Sponsored by ArenaNet

Anatomy sketch practice - my ranger Lorcan before adding his sylvari features I've been practicing anatomy construction from imagination this year, this is one of those practices. Please forgive inaccuracies, as these are for (hopefully) improving my recall of basic forms #gw2 #sylvari #wip

Silly animation practice test/warm-up Cannibalized from one of my existing WIP paintings - this is cropped from that, but I do plan to finish the painting itself at some point My reaper in his "harbinger" outfit (which has been doubling as his summer attire since it's sleeveless) #gw2 #sylvari

Thanks to everyone who's pledged to the Kickstarter! Stretch goals are live and posted! First up is a cover upgrade, which is pretty spiff since it makes your books prettier without costing anyone a penny extra :) I think we can reach it, it's pretty dang close! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

White Mask Varre🌹 #EldenRing #Varre #エルデンリング

Noo why am I trying to animate This won't end well (This is an even rougher test - not planning on finishing this, it was unplanned practice just to better familiarize myself with how krita's frame animation timeline works) #gw2 #trahearne #sylvari #krita

This is a very, very rough test - but contemplating adding some slight animation to the final page of chapter 2. I should probably be using opacity transitions for this and not frames, but, I'm partial to frame animation to probably a detrimental degree, haha. #GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #Trahearne
