I have been insane these last three weeks.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Sekiro is eating my brain I want to do creative things but my fingers itch for video games.

good post

I have been gripped for the past 48 hours for wanting to go to the US as a tourist for like, a 6 week trip, but the idea of going there right now inflicts psychic damage.

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.

I have periods where this shot goes through my head at least nine times a day. This is one of those periods.

Fire and Ash has landed in that perfect mediocre space where it's like, "I didn't exactly enjoy it, but I am extremely compelled by a bunch of questions and situations it raised, but only answered in the most surface level way possible" and I know I will be thinking about this movie for days.

It feels like I’m on a forever mission to remember how to draw at this point 😓 #art

My favourite Viking girls 🥰 #art #forhonor #vikings

Three years ago, I went back to the UK for the first time in a decade, and I always have a constant hankering to return. Of course, one of the stops I made along the way was to the most famous of Ea-Nasir tablets.

I think I can only call Tron Legacy aggressively 2010 and a STUFF HAPPENING! kinda movie with a banger soundtrack and art direction. My favourite scene is the heist and boardroom one at the beginning, because that is indeed one of the Business Buzzword Scenes of All Time mhmm mhmm.

Yay! More art for the first time in ... well, it's been a while 😅 #art #forhonor

Actually on my hands and knees begging BookTok-popular authors to learn the art of swearing in prose (i.e., not in dialogue) because I see it done wrong so much more than I see it done right and I am losing my mind.

Enough with videos for everything already. I want to read blogs (written by humans). I want to see still images (also made by humans). Pls

I've been going out of my mind for the better part of a decade now for not having a full northern hemisphere September - December experience. The last time I had that was in 2017 and *that is my happy time* please I am *hankering* for it again.

QRP with your sketch vs final! ... and this is the *neat* sketch 😅 #art

lmao Chrome *turns uBlock back on*

I would love if marketing departments in publishing went back to putting actual, trustworthy reviews on their books rather than a vomit of "Buy this book! Readers love [title]! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" comments, because there is not one group of book reviewers that I distrust more than those on social media.

The Scottish dog has finally seen (an infinitesimally small amount of) snow! Huzzah!

Collab two of two with Painting Supreme Lord @empjnapo.bsky.social You’re the reason these pieces look as amazing as they do 😘 “In their midst was the Imperial Empress of the Ryhon Isles, the Dawncharger Sori zathi’Ellklasier in all of her royal regalia.” #art #oc #ocsky

*cackling as the temperatures drop and I can finally break the blankets, coats, and heaters out*

So I haven't booted up For Honor since December, and yooo Khatun is *cool af* I don't even care if she's not super powerful.

For young teen me (2010-2013), NaNo was one of my favourite things. But play with fire, and you'll get burnt, RIP bozo, etc. But it taught me that trying to write 50k in a month is insane and prone to burnout, when you could instead just work on a project at a steady pace throughout the year.

after having witnessed the birth of the internet and existing online for 3 decades I can confidently say no feedback is more validating than tumblr reblog tags

I really love this piece and would LOVE to see it get more traction :D #art #diablo #diabloiv

I like making things far too detailed for what they're actually worth. #art #assassinscreed

Writing, reading, scrapping, rewriting, rereading, pulling my hair out, crying.

Started re-reading ASOIAF mid-last year, have now finished ADWD again, and I am bereft all over again because no Winds. (To make things even funnier, I first read these books in 2012-2015 and was desperately worried that I wouldn't finish in time for Winds because I was reading them so slowly.)

hiii everyone it’s my birthday today! it would mean a lot if you could share this post so i maybe i could get some commissions or gfm donations (link below ❤️) tyy

Happy birthday to me, please look at my drawings :D

Last month, I wrote about my Assassin's Creed Shadows play session. I've now finished a bonus article born from the first one that discusses three effective and not-so-effective openings from the other games. Please enjoy! englishbutter.substack.com/p/bonus-tang... #assassinscreed #writing

Damn this HorizontalScrollView and I have a lot in common

Whenever people say Rao looks like one of the Dead By Daylight people, I go and grind my head into a wall.

All time favourite movie of mine fr fr 🙌

Slapping my hands together and praying so, so hard that a coding genius who is a Calibre aficionado and mad af at Amazon can find a way to download purchases from their disgusting ecosystem.

I love this portrait of my goblin girl 😈 #art #forhonor

BTW, now that Google reverse image search is totally useless, the best engine I've found for it is ... Bing?? Tineye brings up some good results too, but I find I get the most consistency via Bing. I tend to bounce back and forth between them depending on what I can/can't find.

I'VE STARTED A PATREON. If you'd like weekly art livestreams with Q&A, new work with a look into my process (starting off with a deep dive into how I painted Kal here!), and my Super Secret Project, check it out at patreon.com/micahepsteinart . . . 'Kaladin Stormblessed' ©2023 Brotherwise Games

Early morning love poem.

Things I thought would be easy to find: phonebooks. Things that are actually stupidly annoying to find: phonebooks. I don't like looking up names for my writing online because you miss out on all the really weird and obscure ones. Phonebooks are great for that. Surely some 80s-00s ones survived???
