we need to make fandom underground again i’m so serious

my frustration w/ fandom lately is the growing number of people who don’t seem to a actually want to engage with stories. they want everything to be fun or relatable or easy to digest. Which u know is fine, just read slice of life manga and watch blues clues and you’ll be ok

but both as a reader/viewer and a creator I don’t want to engage passively with things I looove unlikable characters & morally gray situations & ambiguous symbolism

on some level I understand it cause there’s definitely a place for easy, comforting books, my problem is when people run into a challenging, emotionally difficult book and make it everyone else’s problem that it made them harmlessly uncomfortable

Another old DA comic by me 😁 #dragonageinquisition #solas #blackwall #cole #lavellan

Sometimes i like checking social media and seeing everyone talking about some stupid online nonsense happening completely outside my sphere. Its like overhearing some wild story at a bar. Like damn that sounds so stupid im glad im not in any way involved with that

Never trust how you feel about your life after 9PM Take your meds!

Muppets comedy doesn’t require a huge production budget. It also doesn’t have to be cranked to 11 to deliver solid comedy beats *if* you can deliver them through strongly defined characters. You can watch this & instantly know & laugh at these character types in a sketch...

2026. I will draw, even if it’s bad. I will draw, even if it’s challenging. I will draw, even if it’s been done before. I will draw, even if it’s imperfect. I will draw, even if someone else is better. I will draw, even if I have much to learn. I will draw because it’s fun. Because I’m human.

bite the hand or my try at making a short comic of what solas might've felt getting flemythal's power and then finding and cleaning the dagger. the memories rushing through

As it fucking SHOULD!!!

I was reminded tonight of my favorite paper at the intersection of literature and epidemiology that I decided to adopt with no further questions asked that argues Shakespeare's Macbeth had a prion disease from the Weird Sisters

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Optional #5. You found something weird and joyous inside yourself and you want to work through it / share it with others (especially if all you’ve found in there before is weird & fucked up stuff)

best reasons to make art: #1. horny #2. you found something weird and fucked up inside yourself and you want to work through it #3. angry. #4. all of the above at once.

Worked on the comic and somehow finished a new art instead My rook Vhilan Ingellvar #Vhilan #dragonageart

This version is also pretty I can’t choose *insert scream #Vhilan #dragonageart

Cannot stress enough how IT (2017) is one of my all-time favorite horror movies. Watching those kids beat the shit out of a clown did more for my lifelong coulrophobia than literally anything else ever has 👏👏👏

I was stubborn and worked through my back pain but I had to draw her... Behold, the Queen! 👑 (I swear, I'm actually Team Black) #AlicentHightower #HouseOfTheDragon #HotD #strnart

Hi new people. I’m Eva and I mainly post my own fantasy drawings and paintings.

LOOKING FOR WORK!! i’m merlin and i’ve worked in animation, games and comics as a visual developer and illustrator 🫶🎨 past clients: netflix, d&d, magic the gathering, volta 🎨 www.artstation.com/merlin-gg 📧 [email protected]

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Okay this actually turned out pretty decent 😁 #wip

Mama Sphinx and her cubs 💖 Based it on a marble sculpture from the Archaic Greek period (ca. 530 BCE) had lots traces of red, black and blue pigments. Currently exposed in the MET museum l've of course taken many liberties ^^ Happy new year 💖

My bubble is more “who I’m lurking on and quietly supporting from the background”, but y’all are amazing regardless so 💜🫂

"May I show you something of the greater Fade here?" cooked some more femmrich #dragonage #datv #emmrichvolkarin

Ahhh!! I love it! I need to draw the rest of the gang

I can toss in a few more to motivate? I did manage the whole crew. Here’s the rest of the Soldiers.
