Bless my friends for watching my beloved guilty pleasure movie that is Bambi2 with me tonight… i needed it so bad today and hearing them riff on it and laugh was like a warm hug i needed so so bad after the shaking stress i had earlier. Love them all so much. Hoping i sleep… decently tonight

Terror really does take hours to get out of your system even when in a safer space huh. Anyway uh… I’m fine. Finally calming down after having to be brave in a dangerous situation. Hoping all involved are okay. I just wanna draw and play dnd man is that too much to ask

My poor character Norphanus has it rough and his life is chaotic right now... but there ARE some constants! Examples? Oh. Um. They're... Blue... and... They've got big ol' freakin' Elf-Orc hybrid ears!! (i just like drawing norph a lot) [ #dnd | #ocsky | #dndoc | #myocs | #half-orc | #half-elf ]

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Today is the birthday of my fictional boy. For this I give you all the one time he triggered a log trap. [ #art | #comic | #oc | #dnd ]

love your friends, let your friends love you

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

First #dnd game after hiatus had us go into a weirdly tropical swamp in the middle of winter and my boy Norph did NOT have a good time LMAO once i'm done with another anim project, I'll be making an animatic to the funniest scene that happened to me i swear to god i have our VOD on loop

The royal guards from the City of Daerlun are given a young hippogriff to bond with as they complete their years of dedicated training. Eventually, the pair form a single unit that can defend the city from all kinds of threats. #heroforge (Thanks to u/Hyp_Hypersmurf on Reddit for the hippogriff ref

DANTEEEEEE he IS a hero even if he doesn't see it in himself yeeeet 😩❤️

Caliphus Dante, a fire genasi trapped in a time loop by his former friend and mentor gone insane, was cursed with immortality by a djinni that he found imprisoned in a pocket watch. Now the power granted by his patron can be wielded for others. Can he be a hero like his new companions? #heroforge

drawing is a fine motor skill and will fuck up your muscles and tendons if you don't stretch and the cool thing about tendons is that once you fuck them up they take anywhere from months to years to never to unfuck. so stretch

Two brothers; one who has been burdened with leadership for centuries now finding himself usurped but not ousted, the other blessed with supreme martial prowess but sidelined due to his own arrogance. They have little in common but their father: Founder of the Day Court, the Elder Fey Samael

jfc today is already so horrible irl if it weren’t for the fact that i can’t be doing it i would call out of work for a mental health day. But alas. I cannot. But man. I’ve rarely ever been so actually angry at my job.

This is my gut feeling as well. They could just shove it down our throats and not gaf but survey results can be a good leverage to investors, shareholders and higher-ups. Remember companies are not a monolith. There's plenty of people working at them who don't have caught capitalism brainrot.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

this is: a) impossible, an LLM needs billions of points of data to output comparably non-shit material. even a limited LORA needs a comparison point with all the other artists the base model is trained on. b) hey, did your in-house artists/writers sign up for their work to be trained on for AI?

Need I say more?

🌟human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!!🌟

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

The next #PortfolioDay is just a few days away on Tuesday, January 13th! Get those portfolios ready! Go to portfolioday.art for more info! Good luck! 💛

ocs are at their peak when you are having FUN and they're FOR YOU. i'm talking "this doesn't exist in media and i want it to" "i like this character trope/archetype" "i love these colours" "i love this style of fashion" "i love when pairings are like this" TAKE IT ALL AND PUT IT INTO A BLENDER

Absolutely this. A writer that uses genAi por artwork, an artist that uses genai to answer emails, music artists that use genai for making a videoclip. I despise all of them. I don't think they don't understand how AI works, I think they believe their art is more valuable than the others. 🖕

WE DID IT! The Kickstarter is officially complete, and our update is posted: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pan... If you think you missed the window: Late pledges are enabled for most backer tiers, so there's still a chance that we'll reach some more stretch goals in the coming weeks!

Yaza & Zaya, twin fiends as evil as they are stupid, on the hunt for a runaway princess of the Hells. They failed once to capture her, nearly murdering her closest friend in the process. Once again they seek their target, unaware of how strong Natasha and her allies have grown... #dnd5e #heroforge

d&d game returns in a week... just one more week... after, like, 6 weeks of holiday break... yes we had a mini season then with a guest dm and it was lovely!! but also... multi-year campaign starts again in a week... i... am so fucking excited to have my weekly saturday night ritual back oh my god

It seems the only time I post around here is when I’m dropping new stuff in my lil online store 😅 hair claws & cleaning cloths! More things to come but for now, January 9, 9am PST! Shopgabbyzapata.Com

My D&D DM is cookin' up some goood shit for this next chapter and I only know *maybe* like 1/20th of what's in store (from what I've helped with.) And I'm always in awe of his kitbash abilities with Hero Forge--like!? oh yeah and these are the elves who executed my character as a kid lol fun stuff

oh i had this realization once

after writing and drawing the third skill of making comics is weathering the slog, and ultimately finishing it, and this is the hardest and most important part lmao. and needs to be practiced just as hard as the other two. and you’ll get better at the other two by practicing the third

I don't think people understand the colossal amount of work that goes into making comics, even really short issues are massive undertakings labor-wise Even artists underestimate it, even when we think we get it, we don't

2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat (I listened to Hopes and Dreams on repeat making this)

Energy to take into 2026 ✏️✨ [ #cuteart #traditionalart #sketchbook ]

There aren’t even words…
