It is incredibly frustrating and disheartening to continuously run into AI nonsense in my language learning journey for Japanese. Keep running into content creators that either use genAI or have sponsored posts for AI apps for "learning" from. I can't trust any of it, it's a non-negotiable for me. 😮‍💨

So, while holding out for a sale for a new title. I decided to go back and play RF5, picking back up on the same save file. I figured I had a hell of a grind ahead since RF4's endgame dungeon did. Nope. Beat the endgame dungeon with only making two pieces of equipment that weren't even endgame.

Commissions open, two slots available! :3

Ugh. That feeling when you want to play a game of a certain genre in a certain style, but everything in your library ain't scratching the itch because you want something new. But you also don't want to buy a new game full price bc it'll go on sale soon enough and that'd be the smart thing to do.

Been a bit! Been engrossed in FFTCG lately, looking to lean back and find the balance in my various hobbies again since we're past the one event I was gonna plan to go to probably for the entire season. My fire deck needs a lot of work, and since I've got a distaste for meta decks, lot of testing.

Decided to get back into FFTCG recently, after I stopped playing early Opus 11. They're all the way up to Opus 28 now, so I had to breeze through over 2000 cards to be a little familiar with what I missed. It was soooooo much reading, was honestly a bit exhausting. But we did it! Long 🧵 on thoughts

Had a fanart idea cross my mind after the last piece, so taadaa: Amirah from My Time at Sandrock in the style of War of the Visions Aerith. This is the second time I've been wildly inspired by Aerith artwork to adapt to Amirah. Not sure why but hey; looks neat. #MtaS #FFBEWotV

Commission stuff for anyone interested ;3 I have 2 Slots per month available. For more examples of my work, check my Profile

Last night, we finished our #Pathfinder2e Strength of Thousands campaign! It took us 4 years to complete! We'll doing some small one shots before starting our next campaign, just so my players can test out some builds before locking it in. We're doing Blood Lords next!

im doing my first sponsored stream! ✨10,000% picked cause i wanna see what my friends have been playing !! let's anime girl factorio ( at twitch.tv/vulmini )

First piece for Tamu, a Earth/Fire dual gate Kineticist. Another one of my Pathfinder Society characters. I wasn't certain how this one was gonna go, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm just surprised how quickly it came to be, since I was dreading starting it overall. #pf2e

This is my first piece for my Pathfinder Society fighter, Owen Rockbreaker. He is technically my first registered character, though ended up not being my main! He's a lot of fun to play when I get the opportunity. He's an Oread Dwarf, changed up a bit form the original concept I had for him.

Second piece for Victor Sowen, my Warpriest of Jaidi. He's my second cleric for Pathfinder Society. I haven't played him since 10/5/2024!! That's crazy. Saw a good reference, had to get it to canvas. Could this be refined more? Sure, maybe later. But I think I'm good for now. #pf2e

Did a study of a painterly style to try and work through some art block starting Friday night. During the process it ended up turning into another piece for Penelope, my recent Pathfinder cleric I just started playing. Was a fun weekend project.

I found an extra Azem jacket in my stock. It's the one I sent to my photographer so it is used lightly and has since been washed so - giveaway? Size L ⭐Repost to enter ⭐Ends Sat 14th ⭐No need to follow, but appreciated (i do art!) Good luck! #FF14 #FFXIV

Introducing Penelope Clenlin! She's a Cloistered Cleric of Pharasma, with a Rogue free archetype. A devout mortician, she's traveled to Otari to try and help deal with the issue reported of the dead animating due to a strange light from a nearby lighthouse. Level 5.

Unfortunately, this character met his end in the depths of Gauntlight last night. We were fighting something that ended up being a bit too powerful when we were already tapped out on resources, and simply didn't retreat soon enough from the fight. First character death for me as a player. 😔

THANK YOU FOR 1K!!! 😭🥺♥️♥️ As promised: A celebration RAFFLE🎉 1x winner gets a fully rendered halfbody! - Like + Follow + Repost <3 - Feel free to comment & tell me about your OC!! Ends 28th of February.💕 ( #art #artraffle #raffle #dnd #dndart #ocart #oc #dndoc )

Gimard from Legend of Legaia. Aimed for lineless on this one, think it turned out pretty neato.

One of the projects I'm working on is a PF2e homebrew module for the first 'chapter' of Legend of Legaia (1998 PS1 JRPG). Hard to know if it's any good or if it'll work well, but I think the spirit is there. I plan to do a lot of art for it, characters and monsters. Module itself is coming along.

Tropical Vibe Celsius. Perfect match.

I don't paint and ain't the greatest at color-matching, so on a whim last night I snagged one of the NPCs from our PF2e game I play on Monday nights and reference it for some practice of lineless work. change of pace and stuff. Gave it just the time in session, so ~2 hours. Lot to learn still.

✨ I decided to make a small Christmas gift for you, so I’m hosting an #artraffle for two colored sketches! ✨ 💠 1st place — full body 💠 2nd place — half body Rules: ✧ Follow + Like + Repost ✧ Reply with your OC refs ✧ Tag your friends - optional! 💎 The raffle will end on January 15. #raffle

Legend of Legaia redraws of the concept art. Recently finished a re-playthrough of the game and still enjoy it to this day. Was aiming for a bit more of semi-realistic instead of the anime style of the original art. Focused on different techniques as I went through it. doodle/practice

2025 #artsummary, figured I'd give it a go, but I had little art sprints some month, so including a whole other version for just other pieces/sketches I completed this year. Bit of a bummer to see some months were empty, but that's okay! Would rather not burn myself out and be able to recover.

I had my Twitter account around for just history's sake, but after logging into the account to make sure all of my art was off of there, I discovered that for whatever reason they made it incredibly difficult to log out. Okay. Decided to just deactivate to delete it entirely.

It really sucks that everywhere I turn, Gen AI is showing up in some capacity. Have to cautious of literally EVERYTHING if I want to enjoy something authentic. I'm so tired of it. Especially when people who are creatives or are in a line of work affected by it use Gen AI. Like wtf are you doing??

If you're listening to a youtube video at 4x speed, are you really actually listening to or watching it? Who is actually using this? Maybe there's a use I'm not familiar with that merits this.

So many new games just instantly ruin the hype when I hear about any AI in them. Gen AI, chat bots, any of it. So glad I'm focusing on backlog and playing older games I missed. Don't have to worry about it with games prior to 2020!

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH

Quick doodle today for a NPC in an upcoming Pathfinder homebrew. Emperor Sharptooth, an Eloko who is leading a cult in a twisted understanding of Balumbdar. Eloko are crocodile-faced fey who are nasty carnivores, and his cult has been terrorizing the Mwangi with altered and more powerful dinosaurs.

This is Varlei! He's one of my Pathfinder Society characters I built solely around the idea of being at least trained in every skill. Is it a good idea? idk. Mastermind Rogue, and currently only level 1, he was a fun build idea that resulted in this cavern elf (drow) being pulled together.

My dad, papabrewista is going to be spending Thanksgiving in the ICU. I'm going to be doing a last-minute fundraiser stream TONIGHT starting around 5:30pm ET @ twitch.tv/mariabrewista You can donate here, and if you can't donate, PLEASE share the link! tilt.fyi/nrF0nHImhO

Finished Baldur's Gate 1: EE today. I wanted to try it out after really enjoying Baldur's Gate 3, thinking I could just enjoy the story. I wasn't expecting the AD&D system to be so...odd, and overall just have some quality-of-life complaints. Glad to have it done!

Decided to revisit Sigmund's design, a Champion I play in a Quest for the Frozen Flame campaign. He's lost nearly everything to demons. But since he's found a new home with the Broken Tusk tribe, he's finding purpose in life, no matter how simple. #pf2e

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Final Fantasy 1, 1st clear and 100%'d! I was following guides because the last time I attempted to play FF1 back on the PSP, I was really turned off by the lack of direction in the game. With the guide, this was a quick and enjoyable playthrough of a classic. Thanks, Accel, for buying me the game!

First playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition complete! 124 hours. This was a looooong game. I really like the Dragon Age universe, but man, this one didn't hit the same as Origins and 2. Lot of what I didn't like was with the gameplay, but I felt like the story was good (when it focused on the MSQ)

Portrait Commissions are reopened! I am now back in full gear. Opening 10 slots, will finish everything within a month. Taking these on so i have income while looking for freelance jobs. More details on #Vgen page here: vgen.co/thatjaykart Thank you very much!

I really enjoyed War of the Visions' artwork, so I wanted to study it a bit. Got a little distracted and ended up doing my Pathfinder home game party in the style of. Was an idea I just wanted to get to 'paper'. Told myself pencil only and hatching for the shading, just to keep these quick.

Quick piece from today, needed artwork for a BBEG NPC. It was a little odd because there was a mini for this fella released by WizKids, but no official artwork that I could find out there. Shosenbe from Usaro. #pathfinder2e

Think I have determined a pet peeve; people not paying attention at a ttrpg table, and/or not listening to what is being said so information had to be repeated. Have ran into this in 3 separate games with 3 separate players. If you aren't there to participate/listen, why are you playing???
