Narrowing down early inspiration to four artists was very difficult, but I found the ones that still sit as cornerstones in my heart.

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️ A massive data centre, BIGGER than the village they want to build it next to, has been proposed in Fife. If you're in the area PLEASE file an objection to it, the damage it will do is unbearable to think about. aprs.scot/auchtertool-... 👇 More resources below👇

"Be silent for as long as you like," said Rhiannon. "Never has a man been more stupid than you have been." From 'Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed', the first of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. Rhiannon is a powerful Otherworld figure; Pwyll, prince of Dyfed, her suitor 🎨 Alan Lee (1982) #BookWormSat

This has been said to death but I'll just say it again: if you're in the creative arts space stop calling your art "content". Call it "work"! Calling your art "work" shows it's the result of time and skill. "Content" makes something sound like it has no purpose other than to take up space.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Help us get to 100%! Eek! 🦞 #kickstarter #artbook #crowdfund #crowdfunding #creaturedesign

its actually very funny that the stranger things creators have never played dungeons and dragons because ending each adventure without any idea where you are going next and hyping a villain so much you could never hope to stick the landing is extremely on brand for a D&D campaign

100 lovely kind beautiful people have pledged support for our book on Kickstarter!! Thank you all so much 💖 @morpha-archive.bsky.social

Perfect

Memory flashbacks have been the most reliable source of information for piecing together Mina’s life pre-vampire. Ravenloft has a lot of those memories waiting for her. I predict lots of emotions next session 💀 #curseofstrahd #ismark #kolyanovich #ravenloft #dungeonsanddragons #d&d #illustration

For monster lovers and creature design aficionados, this might be the book for you. MORPHA is due for a Kickstarter launch next month and I'm excited to reveal that I'm also taking part! A team of over fifty artists will help make this happen, all to be slowly revealed in the coming weeks.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up. Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

#portfolioday You can call me Cee! I’m a Welsh artist living in Scotland with a love for nature and fantasy. I often combine these elements to depict fantastical creatures. A lot of my humanoid characters end up getting a magical side to them too. My Linktree: linktr.ee/honeybuzzard...

Previews for an unfinished piece. #hands #armour #fantasy #wip #illustration #art #dnd #d&d #characterdesign

I just watched my first episode of Bluey because it's on and now I'm crying a bit. Some warning would've been nice.

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:

Sketch, 2021.

this glacier plaque plus all the poetry on the skyline reminds me of this poem

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Wow

Pope Leo absolutely cooking
