I’ve never actually purchased a set of dice for TTRPGs. They’ve all been given to me by someone else. It does drive me up the wall tho that the set I got in a Secret Santa bath bomb has an unusually small d4. The rest of the dice are the same size!

Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for Earth, Wind & Fire tonight

first you draw a circle

I always have a soft spot for robots in video games. I think Robo in Chrono Trigger was the first one to win me over. I believe I drew this in 2016? Time flies.

Did some art of the last D&D game. My barbarian stopped our rogue from taking off, and got revenge for the time he took a (dangerous) item from her. Immediately after the rogue’s player had an idea for a drawing that I decided to attempt. (Character info and plot context is in the alt text.)

I painted exactly one landscape in my life for a watercolor class, and then I never did it again lol They do not spark joy.

I guess there’s nothing stopping me from posting art from 5+ years ago. I’ve been looking back with clearer eyes, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as I remember. A good reminder not to be so hard on myself.

I wish we’d hurry up and make Chocobos real.

Made another map when I DMed the Redbrand Hideout in Lost Mine of Phandelver. It's basically just the module layout, but it was fun to make my own assets.

When the feed is boring, that's your cue to go have an experience with something that'll make it less boring for yourself and others later.

Since we’re all talking about Virtual Boy let’s take time to remember the FaxView mobile fax machine by Reflection Technologies, the company that licensed the red screens to Nintendo. They still work and are loads of fun to fax friends with!

Not to brag or anything but I met KA Applegate tonight and she signed some fanart I made of an Andalite in 1999. I told her I draw better now.

My two main states: - I want to do everything, therefore I do nothing - I want to do only this one thing, please don’t make me do any other things.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Photo of me drawing

Well, I didn’t get any faster, but I got better. I still think there’s something missing from this portrait, but that just means I’m on the edge of a skill breakthrough. 😎

My entry for @39daph.bsky.social contest!! Moogle Doomscrolling 💙 Oils on canvas #39GAME

Got an office chair that's actually built to fit my 4ft 11in/1.5m frame. Turns out it was a lifechanging event. It's got me feeling like:

The reason a yoyo costs $29 dollars in EarthBound is because of import tarrifs

Not done, but check out this rendering improvement. 😎 I made the first piece at the start of July. After that I went really hard on learning about Clip Studio Paint, and I think it shows!

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

I cannot express how much I need this vintage Imposter Syndrome poster. Alt text: 1960s QRY poster from a manufacturing workplace. A cartoon man in the lower corner has a finger to his mouth, pondering. “THINK about poor quality. What’s wrong? Is it tools, drawings, materials, or could it be ME?”

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I’ve done some cool DnD art lately, but it’s all future spoilers or not done so I can’t show it. Instead you can have stupid memes, if you’re into that.

yeah

I tried to get a cute picture of my dog sitting in the middle of these giant mushrooms that popped up overnight. She WOULD NOT do it. Was absolutely terrified of them. No fey traps for her, thank you very much.

Same thing happened again except it was days 🪦

Me, actively drawing: “Damn, I wish I could draw.”

Did a bunch of digital paintings of my DnD party members so I could learn to use Clip Studio Paint. Here are 4/6. I did… okay. I’m not happy with a lot of it but I’m absolutely better at it than I was before.

Old art from another life.

Have some art from almost 20 years ago. 😳 I was so young and still had all my ribs. 🩻

This super weird thing happened??? I drew for 8 hours a day for a week straight and my body hurts???? 🤔🤔🤔

Tony Hawk's Pro Tactics Advance

time for my new favorite tumblr post

Using my D&D character’s headshots to track my digital art improvement over the past ~6 months. In the next 6 months I really hope I get faster. These all took wayyyy too much time. 😭

goddammit, when you draw 2 people you have to draw FOUR HANDS what was i THINKING

Living in 2025 is like

Step-niblings are into dogs and Sanrio characters. They’re especially fond of a photo they took of their dog, Peanut Butter, wearing glasses. Both painted the photo at art camp this summer. I left them with a Sanrio-style glasses dog doodle, and one of all the dogs that were here this weekend.

This is how cautious dogs hang out with each other.

nothing humbles you quite like a figure drawing session

This thing haunted me in Osaka last year. WHAT IS IT
