Accidentally went outside just in time to see the plume from the Starlink 11-20 launch #rocket #falcon9

“Never take your eyes off the lady from the milonga. Not that you would anyways.” In retrospect, it probably wasn’t a good idea to start painting w/o a real photo ref, but I’m still happy with how the colors/values came out. Bonus: New HeroForge mini of her! #dnd #oc #art #tango #ballroomdance

See a devil girl, post a devil girl 😈 Shoutout to the Winged Wizard, she was always so much fun to play as… #characterart #art #dnd

Painting style study. (Yes I draw women without horns sometimes…) #art #portrait

Worked on this yesterday with my new found free time with the kid starting school. From HST Proposal 17067, The diversity of protoplanetary disks: Imaging a complete sample of edge-on disks in four nearby star-forming regions Principal Investigator: Gaspard Duchene flic.kr/p/2rnisMm

Good morning! There's something I like to remind myself of every day: "There is no 'better time' or 'when I'm ready'. Life already started, and time keeps passing whether I use it or not."

Watch how seismometers recorded the passing earthquake waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Each dot in this animation is a seismic station—red 🔴 means the ground moved up, blue 🔵 means it moved down. More ➡️ https://loom.ly/6Eo_fYc

Also, overthinking makes it more difficult to pick up the pencil, as it adds an emotional charge to the entire act of drawing, and requires one to spend more mental energy getting over the “gravitas barrier” (for lack of a better term). Instead: try just drawing ✍️

“Sometimes a warrior’s hardest fights are away from the battlefield” -Synne, tiefling paladin #dnd #oc #characterart #art

“This inferno is just the start of your punishment” Ature’a, Gehennian Marshall #dnd #characterart #oc #art

I feel like every artist needs to have it said, once in a while, so listen, if the drawing looks good to you, then it looks good and it's good. That's it, call it a day and enjoy! Life is too short to constantly worry about the correct anatomy and light source💃

If you see this, QRP with your Yellow art! ☀️ 🏖️ I swear I’ll paint Calypso’s mini someday! #characterart #art #oc #3dprint #printedmini

Show me how you draw / paint women Strong, powerful, charismatic, dangerous... and often with horns and wings 😈

Finishing up the #SylBootcamp with a half-body portrait of Nicci, a wizard from the last D&D campaign I DM’d. By her expression, it seems she is about to partake in her favorite pastime: fireballing a fool. The bootcamp has been a joy! Thanks @sylessae.bsky.social! #art #characterart #dnd

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it" No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts. there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Let the intrusive thoughts win every once in a while 😈

Emotions sketch

“Darling, you cried out into the void, pleading for help to escape a terrible fate. Now it is time for you to shatter the shackles of predestination and take the reins of your own destiny.” The Winged Wizard is the Week 8 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootCamp. #characterart #art #dnd

Agatha is the portrait for Week 7 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootCamp. Instead of combining multiple references (like I have been trying in the last few weeks) this time, I tried to focus on the details of only one. #art #characterart As to how you got into this situation… 1/

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ❤️

Even extraplanar entities need a day off in the sun sometimes! Calypso is the Week 6 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootCamp. She was quite the challenge but I like how she turned out in the end. Bonus: I made her into a printed 3D mini too! #art #characterart #dnd #minis #3dprinting

QRP with powerful women 💪 #art #characterart

Week 4 Homework for Portrait Bootcamp with @sylessae.bsky.social It isn't finished, but I was getting frustrated so I just need to walk away for now. The topic was mouths and I'm happy with how hers came out so far. #portraitstudy #art #sylbootcamp

Khanela is the Week 5 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootcamp. After your ranged spell misses the target, the succubus fighting alongside you turns her head to face you and says: “Don’t worry, hun. It happens to everyone.”

“The rumors say that the last Count of Ormond lost his mind over a beautiful lady, and now she calls the shots…” Lady Cassandra Demaret is the subject of the Week 4 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootcamp. No line art this time. Just rendering. #art #characterart #oc #vampire #dnd

My take on Week's 3 homework portrait for #SylBootcamp Both to challenge myself a tiny bit and for variety I picked Loki this time :) Generally happy with the outcome ❤️ ... now up to a good start of Week 4! @sylessae.bsky.social

Wondering about the portraits and progress drawings I’ve been reposting? They’re all made by the hardworking students in my portrait bootcamp! Show them some love. 💛 While the live class isn’t open, you can still access the recorded curriculum here: https://bit.ly/sylportrait

Week 3 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #sylbootcamp. A dimly lit Azura looks down on you dismissively, as if you spoke to her at an inopportune time… #art #oc #characterart

Week 2 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #sylbootcamp. La Belladonna’s serious, intense expression makes her a force to be reckoned, whether in this form or her true form (the mini). #art #characterart #dnd #minis

Never stop drawing ! 2010 > 2024 I was already 30 years old when I drew the first image. It's never too late. ❤️

/me waves hi and hides

Vienna is going to take another lap around the dance floor. I was looking for a subject to draw as the Week 1 portrait for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootcamp, and my mind came back to this mini I designed, printed and painted last year. #art #characterart #oc #3dprinting #mini #ballroomdance

A little motivation for your Sunday from David Lynch 🤍

💯

Initial drawing of a tiefling rogue for @sylessae.bsky.social’s #SylBootcamp. We’ll see where we end up 8 weeks from now! #art #characterart #oc #dnd

Focus on the actions that are under your control...

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

Drawing is hard! Most of the time when we put pen to paper, it is mostly an exercise in wrestling some inner self-saboteur. Be bold. Audacious, even. Doodle something. I wanna see it.

“You don’t have to turn on the lights tonight, love” That dangerous lady from the milonga returns… #art #characterart #oc

HEY. HEY YOU ARTIST. YEAH YOU. YOU STRUGGLIN' WITH ART? YOU WANNA BE A BETTER ARTIST? Try these 5 simple things, in this order. (yes they're that simple). (Note, this is for people who want to become a better artist on a technical aspect!) PROOF BELOW (it me, I'm the proof).

Post a pic you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline

You know what would be a good New Year's Resolution? Telling more people when you appreciate and love their stuff. Tell artists, tell writers, tell everyone. Everyone loves a compliment, spend less time focusing on the negatives and put some love out there instead. Happy New Year, people!

“The barbarian would like to counterspell.” I decided to challenge myself a bit and redrew Auramine, a warlock/barbarian character I enjoyed playing in D&D 5e. #art #dnd #oc

Too real

Swapped in the 0.25 mm diamond nozzle, and I’m happy how it came out #dnd #3dprinting #minis #ballroomdance #tango
