We saw the new Avatar in the era of endless shitty remakes and ai slop it is so cathartic to see a movie that just fully trusts and funds its phenomenal artists to go all-in balls-to-the-wall huge with fantasy worldbuilding and animation. It looked so so good.

Concepts for Velkar, my dragon bard

When we were working artist alley at Dragon Con, someone approached our table and asked “do you want a free book??” And gave me a paperback copy of their decent sized novel. It had an ai generated cover. We were in ARTIST ALLEY!! I felt kinda bad for putting it in the trash but like?? Hello??

The game awards have a history of pissing me off by spending more time on ads than the actual awards and recognizing creators. I’ll skip this year and catch the trailers on YouTube. Congrats to anybody who wins things

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

my banana cream soda review!

Its my birthday today! More importantly I finally got the new pins I teased up on my shop, my birthday gift to you all!! rjpalmerstore.com/collections/...

Happy thanksgiving!!! I just finished batch 3 of the Wonderwood tokens, so enjoy some funny cartoon animals for today (arttag)

I am really glad Fionna and Cake gets to exist, it is so fun and special, I hope they get to keep making as much as they want of it But I also think season 2 has been pretty not good

Birthday gift for a friend!! Going back to drawing people after mostly drawing silly cartoons animals is intimidating. 💀 (arttag)

This video is super interesting and well made, it’s why the ai girlfriend chatbots are just the next iteration of escapist anime predating on its own audience. The companies that make these products will kill you with phony comfort and counterfeit affection.

Hello! After an entire year, I finally finished working on this animation! And apologies for being silent for long periods of time recently, but I was completely locked in😁 It should premiere this coming Friday, 2:00 PM PST. More details in the video link below 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_9...

I was commissioned by @wheelbite.bsky.social to draw their very nice Kobold. (I took the opportunity to draw lots of sweet insect friends) Thank you very much for the commission!

This makes sense if you seen Predator Badlands (arttag)

Plz go see Predator badlands it is super fun and full of sicko monsters and predator toxic masculinity (lovingly) Also it is confident and focused enough on what it wants to be to almost zero fanservice to prior movies and I am so happy about that, super rare these days

Batch 2 of the NPC tokens for Wonderwood. I’m honing in on the style I like, I think this group is much more cohesive than the last. It was suggested I do a skunk for this batch, I’m still open to animal ideas 🦨 (arttag)

I have been naming my pokemon after modern pop stars, this is Big Billie (aka Big Billie Eilish). Look at the size of the coffee cup compared to this lady

Walking around Lightbox Expo and my brain is at “I love art so much I want to cry and explode”

Matt does f’ing amazing work for criminally cheap, take a look!!!

I haven't opened this app in months, i didn't expect all the notifications 🫣 hello everyone Since you guys seemed to like my other bird griffin post, here's some recent bullfinch mini griffins 🪶

TODAY WE DRIVE TO LA FOR LIGHTBOX EXPO 💃✨🎨🖌️

shouldn't post him, but

I have been working on some NPC tokens for Wonderwood. I am still trying to find the level of stylization I like, the range is kinda all over the place with these four, but I like them anyway... I'm going to keep working on more as well, so I'm open to animal suggestions 😎 (arttag)

(Hoping Bsky won't compress the hell out of this image this time :,) ) Here is the whole gang in scale with one another! Chloe makes Josaphine look so tiny!! I worked really hard on these and I hope it shows ❤️

5/5! Chloe! Chloe is a bit of a gentle giant who prefers to always stay prepared. She frequently carries Josephine in her antlers in combat.

4/5! Josephine! Josephine is a sturdy little lady who is equal parts southern-style hospitality and grit.

3/5!! Bethany! Bethany Harris of House Harris is a Harris hawk… a high society lady who enjoys a nice flourish of wind when she makes an entrance 💅

2/5!! Monte! 🎃 Monte (pronounced Monty) is an impulsive cat burglar who was cursed with an unremovable pumpkin helmet after an ill-gotten heist against the wrong mole-hag. The wild red fabric of her cloak and skirt are as unruly as she is. She is my player character ✨❤️

1/5!! King Arlen! I really pushed myself on character art for the animal-themed D&D game I’m in. First up is an important NPC as I wanted to include our amazing DM. Arlen is based on a stellar’s sea eagle and really needs a coffee ☕️ 🦅

I think I FINALLY finished an art project I have really pushed myself on the last several weeks… gonna look at it with fresh eyes in the morning to be sure. If it is I can start posting them!! 🐱

The Dreaming Sharks Time! 🦈✨ ◆ 🌙 ◆ ☀️ ◆ ⭐ ◆ I've finished these three artworks of my silly shorks friends, and I hope to explore and tell the story and world I've thought up for them in more depth. 🌊✨ #Art #Sharkfolk #Sharks

Day 27 of #septempera - the connoisseur.

Managed to push bill day to the 30th which is my birthday 😭 so shares of my open commissions is much appreciated!

Xenomorph is a boring a movie monster, sorry not sorry, it’s just become a mindless killer who does the same 5 things in every piece of media it’s in. Predator is 10000x more interesting and I am SO HYPE for Badlands yall better go see it

I have an ongoing set of work that I am calling the "long canvas animal series". These are four of my personal favorites from it: Pale Antelope, Leopard, Tiger, and Black Rabbit What animal should I draw next?

PEAK commission

Oh to be a coyote in her garden collecting the last of the summer blooms #watercolor #gouache #kidlitart

shhhh.... 🤫 They're dreaming 💙 Sharing my end credit illustrations for Knights of Guinevere to celebrate the premiere! 🥳🥳🥳 Check out the pilot on Youtube : )

And here's the vignettes! These costumes were so fun to design 🥳

Thinking of calling him Midas

Monte got a new outfit for season 2 of our Humblewood D&D game!! And also she’s recruited some scrappy street teens as spies called the Nightmites. I love drawing lil animal folk.

The art community on bsky, when it first started, was absolutely incredible and there was one reason it was so good: Comments! Artists would comment and engage with each other so much, and it made it so lively and fun and filled with community. Take a moment to leave a comment each day~!

Commission for @kabraxas.bsky.social

Be sure to stay skeptical today- every confident statement on the shooter is coming from a place of bias, well intentioned or not. His identity and beliefs will also be muddied on purpose. People from the left and right live in Utah and own guns. Tyler Robinson is a common name. Verify, verify.

Remember that you don’t have to post your first reaction and Bluesky is forever even if you delete

Death from above

He traced Bambi and thumper clip art and then copy and pasted official backgrounds from the movie in. Won’t be surprised if he did that with his other pieces sadly. I overlayed the first 2 images over his piece in the second 2 images.

A commission!
